The Secret Successor CHAPTER 538
“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

Russell and Denver were almost two hundred feet away, and they were stunned just like everyone else.Denver was so shaken, he began to run away.The criminals continued to shoot until they emptied their magazines. 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

Regan was getting ready to leave the hospital without the doctors’ permission. But then, a very unexpected guest visited him.It was Denise Egor, who was the face of the pharmaceutical industry around the world itself.She brought a bouquet that had both white and black flowers, which Regan didn’t like, but he still accepted it.“Are you feeling okay now, Mr. Regan?” Denise sat down comfortably and observed him.“By God’s grace, I’m doing good now,” Regan said. “Are you here to talk about the drugs I have been taking?”Denise forced out a smile. “You are very clever, sir. You easily figured out the reason I’m here. As expected of someone who’s feared even by the big politicians.”“Well, it’s widely known that I’ve been taking medicine and drugs given by your industry for a while,” Regan said. “So you don’t want me telling the world that the cause for the stroke might have been because of the drugs.”“Since you’ve guessed it, there’s nothing else for me to say,” Denise said. “But just
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 541
On the same night that Regan left the hospital, he sent a message to Jessica that he was leaving the hospital. “Already?” Jessica was shocked. “What’s he thinking? What are the doctors doing?” She wondered if she should call the doctors and warn them about Regan’s escape plans. “He should just be in bed for at least a couple of days, but he wants to stress himself some more at work. These old people can be so stubborn. If he gets another stroke, people will really start blaming me.” She already was feeling the heat because many of the company’s workers were already putting the blame on her, saying that she was careless, which really infuriated her. Jessica was currently returning home from an evening church. She didn’t stay there for long but only for fifteen minutes. She had to visit the church to find some peace, because her work life was getting rough lately and she needed some spiritual support. When she returned to her house, she could hear many voices coming from inside. Amon

When Regan came to his office in the middle of the night, he saw Liam waiting inside. It almost gave him a heart attack for a second.“W-What the hell are you doing here?” Regan quickly asked, raising his walking stick, just to fight if necessary.“I’m waiting for you,” Liam got up and offered a handshake.“Waiting for me?” There was nobody outside, so Regan couldn’t help but wonder just for how long Liam had been waiting for him. “How the heck did you know that I was coming? Nobody knew other than myself.”Liam smiled. “I know me enough, so obviously, I also know my rival just enough.”“That’s the most contrived logic I’ve heard in a while,” Regan remarked.“Haha,” Liam laughed out loud. It looked more like a stress reliever than him enjoying his own joke.“Normally, I can guess when someone comes to meet me,” Regan uttered. “But now, I can’t guess why you’re here, even though you are my rival.”“I’m not here to talk about the Payseur family.”“Oh…” Regan looked a little surprised. “
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 543
The next morning.Denise sent many doctors to go and advise Regan on his health condition, hoping he’d listen to them even though he didn’t listen to her.Regan, however, did not give time to any doctor, even if they were ones from his own hospital.With the hacking system, he hacked the mobiles of these doctors and realized that Denise was working behind the scenes. He felt angry when she said the words ‘Regan lost faith in our medicine industry, but we have to make him our repeat customer again.’What shocked him even more was that some of the doctors working under him, taking his money as salary, were actually listening to Denise’s words. She didn’t even need to hypnotize them because they were all in on it. They were willing to fuck Regan up as if it was a very normal thing to do.“Treating patients as repeat customers…” Regan was so frustrated he called the cleaner and made her take out all the drugs from his office and throw them in the trash. He turned his office drug-free.And
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 544
Lucy Payseur woke up only to hear bitter news in the morning.All the half-dozen media channels owned by the Lynn family were talking about the mafia trying to kill Liam, and Liam himself gave an interview and even uttered the name ‘Payseur family,’ and also the name of Lucy’s dad, Roman Diablo Payseur, and his connection with mafia and more.“Whoever owns the media channels can control the world,” Liam said. “I own only a handful of channels to fight back against the propaganda pushed on me and my family. But the Payseur family basically owns most of the media network. So, most of the time, you’re just hearing the bullshit they want to tell you. You may have the power to change the channel, but since they own most channels, you end up watching their garbage and in turn get programmed by them to buy their products and behave in the way they want you to.“Not just you but even your children that watch the TV are also programmed to become their obedient consumers from a very young age.

The arrival of helicopters and the bald men in black suits shocked everyone, including Russell and Elora. “Are they here for us?” Russell grew anxious. “Huh? Why would they be here for us?” Elora quickly asked. “Did you do something stupid?” As they stood vigilant, the men in black suits completely ignored these two and rushed into the store. “Don’t let the young lady get away! No matter what!” “If we lose her, then Boss will put us under a guillotine!” “She went that way!” “Spread out and surround the whole place. We are not letting even an ant get past us without our permission!” They took out electric stun guns and quickly searched through the whole store. However, Lucy was hiding in the ceiling, but it was made out of thermocol sheets, so wasn’t sure if they’d withstand her weight if she were to walk on all fours. “I can’t believe I’m hiding from those baldies! If there really is a chip in my body, then they should be able to…” Just as she was saying, one of the men open
