The Secret Successor CHAPTER 540
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

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 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

On a private jet flying high through the sky.“You are rather calm for someone who doesn't know what’s going on,” Lucy looked at him as he was staying calm and was looking out through the glass window. “I could understand if you accepted the coffee I offered, but you didn’t drink it. So, what makes you feel so calm despite not knowing anything?”“The reason I didn’t accept coffee is because coffee is related to cocaine. It stimulates your intestines to move faster,” Russell replied casually. “In other words, it makes you shit more often. Now, why would I drink coffee when we’re on a plane? I don’t like shitting on a plane or even a train you see.”“Mm…” Lucy surprisingly liked what she heard., and it made her put the coffee cup down “You said something very interesting about coffee, which I haven’t heard about before. Are you a barista or something?”“No, I can’t even fully pronounce the names of those coffees they sell in the espresso bars,” Russell said.“Haha, but I like frothed mi

“Stop and explain yourself, Lucy,” Elsin blurted. “Don’t take Dad’s patience for granted.”“W-What’s there to explain, Brother?” Lucy retorted in a soft manner. “How would I have expected that punk Liam to boldly speak to the media like he did? He’s crazy! How can anyone predict what a crazy man would do?”“You think he’s crazy?” Roman intervened. “That man knew exactly what he was doing. If he had only told the lies, then it wouldn’t have been much of a problem for us because most people wouldn’t fall for such lies. However, he subtly mixed lies and truths together, so much so that even experts who can detect lies from body language will have a hard time to tell whether he’s lying or telling the truth. That man is not just any billionaire, Lucy. He had a history of being in the dark and fighting the dark forces since long ago, but for some reason, he stopped doing all those vigilante acts. Otherwise, someone would have long killed him. But if we touch him now, we’ll only be making hi
