The Secret Successor CHAPTER 532
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

The next morning.Russell woke up and didn’t find Elora in the room. He saw food on the table and also a letter.“I’m going out on some work. I will be back before sunset,” she wrote.“Where did she go out so early in the morning?” Russell wondered.In the Creed hospital.Regan was talking with Charlotte.“I’m so sorry and sad that this happened to you, Mr. Regan,” Charlotte pitifully said. “Do you remember what you ate that morning?”“Oh, it’s not the food that’s the issue,” Regan told her.“Then, what could it be?”“I’m old enough to hurt my heart from sneezing or coughing, so anything could act as a trigger,” Regan said.“What did the doctors say?”“Whatever they say, I know what to do,” Regan said. “The body heals itself if stress can be relieved. So I should just do my best to not stress myself out.”“Does that mean you’re going to step down as the CEO?” Charlotte asked without hesitation.Regan glanced at her for a second and said, “I haven’t decided anything, but we’ll see what

“Thank you for coming, my daughter, my little light,” Regan’s eyes teared up. “I can die with no regrets now.”“Stop with your melodrama,” Elora hissed as she sat down on the bed. “I ain’t buying a single tear that comes out of your eyes.”“This isn't a drama. You can check the reports.”“Reports can easily be faked,” she said and then checked his pulse.“What are you doing?”A few seconds passed, and then Elora’s expression slightly changed as she understood that his pulse was weak. She let go of his hand and then said, “What caused you to suffer a stroke? Were you fucking some bitch in your office or something?”“N-No, Elora,” Regan was hurt by her words. “It’s been more than a decade since I had sex with anyone.”“You expect me to believe that?”“I can’t prove it to you, so I can only hope that you believe my words,” Regan said. “What would I gain by lying to you about this? If I was having sex, then I would have told you.”“Then what’s the reason a stone-hearted guy like suffered

“After I came to this country, I suffered from a lot of stress,” Elora explained to her dad. “I was able to work many part-time jobs every day, but everywhere, my superiors tried to take advantage of me. Maybe it’s because I’m a foreigner, I might have appeared like an easy target for them. Some of them even came to the apartment I’m staying at and began to really bother me. I went to the police station, and the officer warned those men, but then began to harass me by bringing food, drugs, and alcohol to my apartment. He began to call me and send letters dozens of times every day. I was so terrified by that officer’s actions that I was thinking of returning back home.”Regan’s eyes widened. “Then why didn’t you come back?”“Because one day, that officer was harassing me at a traffic junction when I was returning from work…” Elora said. “He was trying to touch me, asking me to wear the dress he bought for me. I was so afraid that he was going to undress me there in the middle of the st

On the same day.Russell came to Creed Zone to preorder the gaming gear and also record a vlog while he’s at it. Because he had money, he bought the most advanced gear with all the necessary accessories, which cost him about 12,000 dollars.His followers were shocked by his boldness and the risk he’s taking. And then there were those who kept teasing him by calling him rich.“I know this is risky because I’m not used to playing these games, but… I will be training for the next week in this place,” Russell told his followers. “I’ll learn as much as I can so that my streams won’t be boring.”After packing the gear in his car, he was exploring the place and visited the stores he didn’t before.When he went to a shop full of toys, he heard the shopkeeper talking on the phone, “I hope that Sir Regan will come back healthy. If he dies, my shop will be doomed. All of us invested a lot in these stores. His death will really break our backbones. I’ve been praying since last night that he shoul

At an open restaurant inside Creed Zone.“You want to join a technical support associate?” the HR manager was snorting at Denver. “With your resume?”“Sir, I don’t have job experience, but I’m good with integrating systems,” Denver desperately explained himself. “Just give me a task, and I’ll not disappoint you.”“The hardware assembly used for Dream Creed is much more complex than what you are taught in colleges or private workshops,” the HR manager blurted. “Even experienced technical support specialists will have to be very careful when handling our equipment, despite all the encapsulation done to make things easier to understand. If you are thinking of using our code to write your own scripts, then you forget about it because we hide that information under many levels of security that’s well-guarded by three supercomputers. Hacking even a little bit of code, be it an attribute or a method used in programming, is not possible even if you work at it for decades.”“I only came here f

“I told my situation to many of my friends,” Denver told Russell. “Though most of them expressed pity before me, they probably told others about my story and laughed about it. 99% of the friends I have aren’t really friends, and the person I didn’t really think of as a friend is now willing to help me. I’m not saying this to sugarcoat or anything, but you are a good soul. I was blinded by my love and lust for Natasha that I couldn’t see you as a friend before.”Russell didn’t say anything. Though he was willing to help Denver, can he really think of Denver as a friend now? Can he share his personal problems with him? Can he really trust him to never betray him? He didn’t think so. Can he really forgive him for killing his dog? So much bad stuff happened between these that it might never be possible for Russell to truly consider him as a friend and fully trust him.“Why exactly did your marriage go wrong with Kyra?” Denver asked, surprising Russell because he didn’t think that Denver w

At least two hundred bullets were shot. Though it was an armored car, many bullets still managed to break into the car.Other than Russell and a couple other people, everyone else ran away from the scene.The two people in the car were not moving.“Drag them out,” the boss of the criminals said. He was 6 feet 6 inches tall and was bulky. “We’ll behead them and put their heads for display.”Two criminals were walking toward the car, but then the doors opened. Both Liam and David stepped out, and they were completely unhurt.The criminals stepped back in utter puzzlement and confusion and shock.“What the fuck?” the boss of the criminals couldn’t comprehend what he was seeing.“Who do you want me to kill first?” David asked.“You can deal with everyone else except the boss,” L
