The Secret Successor CHAPTER 525
“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

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

Russell was traveling in his old car, with his mother accompanying him. She was the one shooting the video for him this time.“Why the sudden change, Mom?” Russell couldn’t help but ask her. “Two days back, you didn’t look pleased with my working style, but now you’re traveling with me. What changed your mind so much?”“Let’s just say I want to share a little bit of my son’s burdens,” Elora said, “until he gets a partner.”Russell smiled but said nothing.They were traveling a road up the mountain, and a vila caught his eyes. “Point the camera there, Mom. That building looks pretty fine.”“It does,” Elora said.“Looks very good, doesn’t it?” Russell commented. “Must feel very peaceful to live in such a house.”“You don’t usually find peace in such big houses, son,” Elora voiced her mind. “Relationships are all more of a game in the glass buildings. Everyone tries to be on top of each other in every little thing. Only rarely do you find someone who would actually accept their mistakes

The next morning.Regan came to his office building. Jessica was there waiting for him at his office.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted him.“Did you get the information I wanted on the third son of Parul Conreid?” Regan asked her.“Yes, sir. I left the file on your desk,” she said.“I don’t have the time to read it. Just tell me what you think about him,” Regan said, sitting in his chair, “without any filters.”“Uh, he’s… trash,” Jessica said. “He’s known for dating a different celebrity every week. I’ve asked some people working in his company, and they didn’t have anything good to say about him. He even dates the women in his company, it seems. He’s a real spoiled child, if there ever was one.”“And Parul wants me to observe such a guy?” Regan was shaking his head. “What was he thinking? He’s not the type to send some garbage over, even if it’s his own son.”“Maybe, he has a soft spot for the third son, sir,” Jessica opined. “I mean, he’s the youngest son, so it’s possible.”“Mm, yo

Russell quickly checked Regan’s pulse. He could barely feel it. He immediately began to press his chest and also called for an ambulance simultaneously. He then called Jessica’s mobile and told her what’s happening.She didn’t believe him, thinking he was pranking her, but she still came to check Regan’s room. And she was shocked that Russell was indeed telling her the truth.“Slap his inner elbow on the other hand,” Russell told her while he was pressing Regan’s chest with one hand and was also tapping the left inner elbow in the other hand.“A-Are you sure this will work?” Jessica tensely asked him. A lot of thoughts rushed through her mind. What if Regan were to die now? What would happen to the game? What would happen to her job? Her career? Moreover, what if people blamed her that it was her negligence that caused this? And she began to sweat without herself knowing.“Just trust me and keep doing it,” Russell assured her. And she believed him and mimicked what he was doing. She n

Almost ten hours after Regan was brought to the hospital.So many people from all around the country came to see Regan, but none of them were allowed to see Regan.The first person that Regan allowed to enter the intensive care unit was Jessica only, which made many mouths murmur among themselves.Regan was still lying down on the bed, but he didn’t have the oxygen mask on. “Where’s the guy that came with you?” he asked in a low and weak voice.“He waited and left only twenty minutes ago, sir,” Jessica told her. “Someone called him, and so he left. Oh, he told me to give this to you.” She gave him the access card that Regan had given to him.Regan faintly smiled. “He came to give this back to me, huh.”“Yes. Luckily, he came at the right time. Otherwise….” Jessica didn’t know what to say. “What did the doctor say about your condition, sir?”“It’s just a stroke,” Regan responded. “Whatever they might say, I know I’ll be fine, but still, I need to be careful for three, four days. And th
