The Secret Successor CHAPTER 521
Regan was talking with Ross Raer.“This is the deal, Mr. Regan,” Ross said. “You’ll still own ten percent of Creed Tech company after all this. Of course, in the eyes of the world, the company will forever be yours. It’s just that Sir Elsin wants to have this company come under his authority, not just because he sees great potential in your Dream Creed game but for a lot of other reasons.”“I’ve already shown him my middle finger,” Regan replied patiently. “So why did he send a double-tongued snake like you now?”Ross forced out a smile. “Your audacity is inspiring, Mr. Regan, but think about what’s going to happen if you keep refusing to side with the crown. I’m sure the federal agency will be over your company just like how they’re sending lots of tax return documents to Liam’s companies recently. Liam must be gnashing his teeth at them every hour of the day. At least, he’s still not old unlike you. Do you also want to grind your teeth at such an old age? I personally suggest that y

On the same evening after Jessica had spoken with Regan, Jessica was about to go home.And she overheard the people talking about something interesting. On top of that, they came to her and asked her, “Since when was Boss Regan planning for this?”“Why didn’t you tell us?”Jessica could only force out a smile and tell them, “I can’t tell you everything, because most of the time, I’m not allowed to reveal information.”After they went away, Jessica took the stairs instead of using the elevator just so she could avoid talking with others.“Sir Regan launched a new streaming website exclusively used for Dream Creed?” Jessica checked the website on her mobile, and its features were mind-boggling. The user interface was so much more advanced than any website she had ever seen. “T-This isn’t that user-friendly. Most people might have a difficult time getting started. Is that why he released it many days before the game was even released?”But Jessica couldn’t digest that she didn’t know abo

The next morning.When Elora woke up, she saw Russell streaming a video live, sharing his video editing experience. There were more than 4000 people watching.Elora came and straight away shut the laptop, leaving him in shock. “Mom! Why did you do that?”“Why?” Elora coldly glared at him. “You are not sleeping enough these past three days. I know you got a lot of new viewers, but health comes first. Everything else comes afterward.”“If you stop the stream like that, what would they think?” Russell retorted. “They’ll unsubscribe and leave.”“Then let them leave. If they can’t even let you get some sleep, then it’s better for you to never know them,” Elora said. “Do you still remember what I told you when you said you wanted to pursue vlogging as a career?”Russell paused for a second and said, “Aspire for things you don’t have, but be satisfied with what you get.”“You can’t ever be satisfied if you try to please everyone,” Elora blurted. “Go and get some sleep now.”“B-But what about

The Heller family owned an estate, a mansion, and two villas in the city. Lucy went to stay in one of the villas now, all by herself.“I get that they have helped our family since the titanic incident, or maybe even before that,” Roddick was asking his mother, “but do we have to bow our heads even now? We may not be trillionaires, but we’re not far from becoming trillionaires. Why should we bow to that girl who’s younger than me?” His ego just didn’t allow it.“Their connections run deep through all levels of the government, son,” Stacy explained to him. “If they want, they can destroy our family in a month and bring us to the streets.”“So, they’re going to bring Liam Lynn to the streets now?” Roddick asked.“If he doesn’t cooperate no matter how much pressure he’s put under, then yes,” Stacy said. “They might do worse things to him than just dragging him onto the streets. You know, kidnapping and torturing and such stuff. However, in the eyes of the public, Liam will be fine because

“Those in power are going to do everything they can to get their hands on more land,” Regan was talking with someone on the phone. “Real estate is where the real money lies, after all. I did everything I could to purchase these lands in the Creed Zone, but I did not use force like the government would use on people that defend their property. They’d send swat teams to force people out of their own homes, but I purely offered them more money. I made them write contracts, of course, but still, some of these people have now filed cases on me in the high court and the supreme count. I’m sure that the Payseur family is behind this. They probably threatened these people to file a case against me in court that I threatened them and forced them to sell their properties. And the court has sent a restraining order to me that I shouldn’t release the game just yet. Isn’t it funny that all this happened in mere two days?”“Why are you telling me all this?” the voice from the other side said weakly
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 526
Lucy called Charlotte’s phone and asked, “How is it going? Are Regan and Liam attacking each other?”“Not at all. It looks like they’re both aware that the Payseur family is behind all this,” Charlotte said.“You think so?”“Yes, ma’am. By destroying the law firm, you dealt a big blow to Liam,” Charlotte said. “On top of that, he’s going to court regarding the taxes he’s been asked to pay. They are all fraudulent documents, but it won’t be easy for Liam to prove it because I won’t cooperate with him.”“Hehe,” Lucy liked what she heard. “As for Regan, however, I’ve come across some interesting information.”“What is it?”“It seems Regan had two children, not one,” Lucy said.Charlotte blinked twice. “You mean… his other child is still alive?”“We don’t know about that, but I’m working on it,” Lucy said. “If his daughter is still alive, no matter where she is living in this world, I’ll have her brought to my feet in a day or two. If we hold her as hostage, I’m sure Regan will come cryin

“Ma’am, it’s not safe to go outside without security,” Connie stressed her words, but Charlotte didn’t listen. She went alone in her car. Connie could only look up at Kyra who was on the balcony and shrug her shoulders. “She’s not listening at all.”“If she dies, then I’ll just leave some flowers at her grave,” Kyra blurted and went inside.Connie sighed and shook her head. “The relationship between these two is not easy going. They don’t speak to each other and can stay in the same house without any problem at all. I’m not able to do such a thing. I just hope they’ll put their differences aside and get together, though I believe that Madam Charlotte must accept her wrongs first. But that’s where the problem lies. Will she really work upon her guilt? I don’t see it happening right now, which is not good. Mm?”Just then, Liam walked out of the building.“Sir, you shouldn’t be moving around,” Connie said.“It’s okay. If Kyra asks for me, tell her I’m sleeping or something,” Liam told he

Teresa took her entire family over to the villa where Lucy was staying. She introduced them to Lucy while she was watching television.She especially talked good about her daughter. “This is my daughter Jennifer. She’s really smart, ma’am. I’m sure she’ll be useful to you.”“I’ll decide whether she’s useful or not,” Lucy said, looking at Jennifer. “What are you good at?”“Managing people,” Jennifer said.“Mm, how about I give you a manager’s role at some big hotel?” Lucy suggested. “If you can attract billionaires to your hotel in the next one month and get good reviews from them, I’ll recognize your worth.”“I-I’ll definitely do it… madam,” Jennifer said somewhat hesitantly. She actually didn’t want to work, but her mother forced her and brought her here. “What hotel should I manage?”“One of the biggest hotels in this city, the Seven Sins hotel is secretly owned by my family,” Lucy said. “So, you can just work there.”Jennifer’s eyes widened. “Y-You mean, the infamous seven-floored
