The Secret Successor CHAPTER 560
As the fight between Roman and his clone became more intense, Roman heard a gunshot.When he looked toward the source of the sound, he saw a bullet flying through his son’s head, and his blood splattering all over the computers behind him.“ELSIN!” Roman shouted.That momentary loss of concentration helped Roman’s clone dig his hand straight into Roman’s stomach. Still, Roman didn’t go down. He continued fighting his clone.It didn’t look like a fight between humans. Both of them were moving very fast, and Russell couldn’t even see their hand movements.Russell did think of trying to land a sneak attack with a bullet or two on Roman’s head just to make sure he killed the real enemy, but he wasn’t sure if the bullet would actually hit Roman or the clone. He had no idea why the clone was fighting Roman, but he didn’t want to mess with the things when things were clearing working in his favor.Russell got up and ran out of the server room, and it wasn’t easy, because the floor was full o
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 561
Just as Regan whispered to Russell and Liam, they heard a loud noise coming from inside the bathroom. It was loud enough to startle everyone. Regan even flinched and stepped back.Russell and Liam quickly came over and took out their guns. Liam used one hand to open the door. All he saw was a hole in the floor inside the bathroom.“Who could punch their way through the floor?” Russell looked shocked. “It must be one of those clones.”Liam rushed out of the plane and looked under the plane. There was a hole at the bottom, but he couldn’t find anyone, even though he looked in every direction.Russell also came out. “Did you see them?”“No, I think they ran away,” Liam said, “but… we can’t use this jet anymore.”“We can use the plane I came in,” Russell said. “It’s parked not far from here.”“Let’s go there then. It’s not safe for us to be here longer, so let’s hurry.”Soon, all three of them abandoned this private jet and headed to another one. Roddick was watching them from afar.Roddi

In Regan’s office.It was getting dark outside, and Elora was still in Regan’s room.She was tired from walking to and fro. She was tired from sitting for so long. She was tired from thinking too much. And she was over all exhausted both physically and mentally.Her head was hurting so badly that it felt like it might break any moment.Jessica entered the room. “Aunt, you are still here?” she didn’t think Elora would be waiting for Regan for so long. “My boss’ mobile is not reachable. I think he’s resting somewhere. He does that when he’s too stressed out, so I think you should come back tomorrow. Let me drop you at your hotel.”“You go, Jessica. I’ll go later,” Elora replied without even looking at her.“I can’t just leave you here like this,” Jessica said. “I’ll at least call Russell and tell him you’re here.” She took her mobile out and called him. His mobile rang, but he didn’t answer. “It seems he’s also busy with something.”Elora pursed her lips.Jessica came and sat next to El

Jessica came rushing out. Because she was wearing her office suit and skirt, she couldn’t run as fast as usually could. On top of that, the high heels didn’t make running any easier.By the time she reached the elevator, Gage and Elora were already on their way down. She ditched her high heels and took the stairs barefooted.She was able to climb down two floors easily, but the third floor proved tough. The fourth and fifth floors proved more difficult. The sixth to sixteenth were too much. The sixteenth to the sixtieth was like hell.She came down sixty floors without stopping, and her knees were hurting like hell. Her heart was thundering in her chest, but she still didn’t stop and had to rush to the underground parking space using stairs once again. It was a true testament to her sheer persistence.However, just when she reached the destination, she saw Gage and Elora leave in a vehicle.“Hey, yo! Give me a break!” She was already very tired, and she didn’t have the strength to cha

The first car to arrive at the runway track was Kyra’s car. It wasn’t her usual Alpha Wolfe car, but another car, which was a six-seater. Sansa, Kyra, and Nora were present in the car.Liam went and met his mother and Kyra. They were relieved to see him, but Nora asked him why his shirt had many cuts on it.Russell saw Kyra but looked the other way.“Brother,” Sansa quickly came over to him. “Is it true that you got kidnapped?”“What? No. I went there myself,” he replied quickly.“Huh? Why would you do that?”“The circumstances led me to do that,” Russell somewhat explained her that if he didn’t go with Lucy, then his mom would have gotten heart.“So that’s why you left with them,” Sansa now understood better. “Then it’s fine. But don’t tell your mother the same thing, or she’ll get angry at you.”“I won’t tell her,” Russell said.The second car that came to the scene belonged to Gage, but then Russell saw Elora step out.He quickly rushed over to meet her.Seeing him, she also ran to

“I’m no longer blinded by your love, Russell,” Jessica was yelling at him. “I know that you and Kyra have been in a relationship for years, and that you made her pregnant!”Russell was very much shocked by her words. “T-That’s… you’ve got everything wrong.”“Yeah, I REALLY did,” she stressed her words emotionally. “That’s why I couldn’t see the wolf hiding behind the sheep’s clothing.” She was walking away with tearful eyes. He tried to stop her, and then she slapped him.BAM~!Jessica suddenly woke up and found herself in her bed. “Shit. That was a dream?” Her arms had sweat drops on them. “It felt so real… Why the hell did I have such a nasty dream now? It makes me suddenly feel guilty now.”She then checked her mobile for messages.There was a single message from Regan. When she read the message, her eyes jumped out of the sockets. “H-He’s releasing the game tomorrow? Why did he prepone it? What’s going on?”Jessica couldn’t meet Regan yesterday because she couldn’t contact Regan o

Natasha unhesitatingly approached them and plucked the sandals out of Elora’s hands, startling them. “I saw these first, so these are mine.”Russell started shaking his head after seeing Natasha. Elora also recognized her and so she said, “Sure. You can have them.” She then took Russell away with her.Natasha didn’t like how easily Elora gave up on the sandals. She didn’t feel any thrill from that. She tossed the sandals aside and followed them. “Manager,” she said aloud, “I don’t think these two can buy anything of substance in this store. Are you sure you want to have them roaming like chickens without buying anything?”The manager, however, came to Natasha and said, “I think they can pay for the things.”“Huh, how can they? You might not know about them, but I do,” Natasha snickered. “They are piss-poor. I’m sure they can’t even buy a kerchief from this store because it’s worth about 600 dollars. I think they’re here just to record this store. You see…” she pointed at Russell.”That

Russell and Elora were still staying in the hotel room for what would likely be the last night.Russell was reading a book given to him by his grandfather. It was written by his grandfather, too.“You should get some good sleep, Russell,” Elora told him. She had applied fresh garden aloe vera all over hair and body. She also applied to Russell because she wanted both of them to shine and look their best tomorrow from head to toe. What better ingredient than fresh aloe vera gel to give life to the skin and hair as well as the mind because of the cooling effect it had on the body? “Tomorrow is going to be a long day.”“I’m almost done with the book, Mom,” he told her.“Oh, but don’t take everything in the book into your head,” Elora warned. “Your grandfather does things in an extreme manner most of the time. If you follow him, you’re going to end up hurting yourself badly.”“Got it,” Russell said. “But, Mom, can you explain this? He said, ‘Goat eats the leaves and reaches the top of the

EPILOGUE
A few weeks later.Charlotte was at her home, eating peanuts, which didn’t taste good on her tongue right now. It wasn’t the peanuts that had the issue, but her tongue and her mind.“Even the food isn’t going inside,” Charlotte pitifully said. She called Kyra’s mobile, but Kyra didn’t answer.Seconds later, Kyra sent a text message: Don’t bother me.“Tsk, she’s completely cut herself off,” Charlotte tossed the mobile away at the wall. “But she’s sticking with Liam and Russell when they’re not even related to her by blood. It doesn’t make any sense!”“Do you want me to kidnap her and bring her here?” William asked.“Do you want Liam to kill both of us?” Charlotte asked him back.“N-No.”“Forget about Liam…” Charlotte looked at the file in her hand. “This bastard Russell came up with such a clever contract. If I sign this, I’ll basically be giving up my shares in the company, but in return, I’ll earn in the billions.”“Since he’s going to trouble you anyway, he’s giving you a profitable

Jessica was never gifted so many chocolates by anybody before. She immediately hugged Russell with excitement. “You’re the best!”“Wait, they are not just for you,” Russell said. “You’ll be sharing these with everyone at the table.”“U-Uh, of course,” Jessica couldn’t smile as freely anymore because there weren’t multiples for some types of chocolates, and she didn’t want to give those away to others. “I-I will do it after we finish dinner,” she said. “I mean, if we eat chocolates before, then we won’t be able to eat the meal properly.”“You can just distribute them now,” Russell said.“U-Um,” Jessica reluctantly got up and began to distribute the chocolates to everyone at the table. But when she came to Russell, she didn’t put any chocolate on his plate.“Wait, you forgot me,” Russell said.She leaned in and whispered in his ear, “Didn’t you say that I AM your chocolate?”Russell blushed. “Ahem,” he quickly controlled his expression. “I see.”Jessica sat down. The waiters began to se
CHAPTER 634
A few nights later.At Tuna Waves restaurant.The entire top floor was booked by the Lynn family for the night.A large dining table was arranged in the center of the floor. Kyra was the first to attend, because she was the only one who arranged this dinner and invited the people she believed she should.As she waited a bit nervously, to her shock, Jessica was the first to arrive. She was dressed in her work attire and didn’t even have makeup on. Was she coming straight from work?Jessica sat down at a chair but didn’t speak to Kyra and just waited.There was an awkward atmosphere between these two.“I’m not going to eat you, so you can talk,” Kyra voiced her mind. “You came here early so that you can make sure nothing ‘strange’ happens, right?”“Well, I have to protect my guy,” Jessica replied, putting her mobile down, “so that I won’t lose him again.”“Don’t worry then. I think of Liam as my dad, so Russell becomes my brother now,” Kyra stated. “I can’t marry my brother now, can I?”
CHAPTER 633
Other than Arnold, nobody was told that Liam was Russell’s biological father, as Elora and Liam just didn’t feel the need to do so.They believed that revealing that truth now would only bring unnecessary complications.Elora felt like a lot of burden had been lifted off her heart after she told Arnold the truth.Russell also felt happy that Viola was talking to him. Though James was still clouded by his anger, Russell didn’t feel bad about it as James was known for his impulsive behavior.Russell believed that James would understand with time.Liam and Elora went away in a different car, whereas Russell left in his Boyen Redemption. Driving with an injured hand wasn’t easy, but he somehow managed it and got home.Regan was talking with Gage’s dad and introduced him to Russell. “This is the man I trust the most in the world. He’s your friend Gage’s father. His name is Steven.”Russell saw that Steven’s eyes were completely white. “Nice to meet you, Steven?” he looked at Regan. “Is he b

“I don’t get it. Why do you want to marry her of all people?” Teresa asked quickly. “She’s been sick for decades, and no one knows when she might get sick again and die, not that I’m wishing for it, but I’m just stating the possibility. In addition to that, Russell is already your son-in-law, isn’t he? So, if you marry his mother now, what will the world think of it?”Liam smiled and asked her, “You think I didn’t consider all those things?”“U-Uh…” Teresa didn’t know what to say because he looked calm despite everything she had just said. She looked at Elora. “Are you not going to eat anything?”“No, I’m full,” Elora said, even though the real reason she refused was because she didn’t want to eat what was brought by Jennifer. Elora then glanced at Arnold. “Can we talk privately?”Arnold was not expecting that. Without even looking at Teresa or Jennifer, he said, “Sure. Why not?”Jennifer didn’t want them to talk, but all she could do was stand there and watch as Arnold and Elora walk
CHAPTER 631
Charlotte left the hospital, but on her way home, she received pictures from one of her friends.And these were pictures of Liam and Elora eating at a restaurant.“Stop the car,” Charlotte said.William quickly pressed the brake. He looked back, and Charlotte was fuming.She felt like her body was set on fire. She wasn’t able to stand it.“How can he…”Seeing Liam hold some other woman’s hand, she wasn't able to digest it and pulled her hair with one hand. “Fuck! This isn’t happening. Fuck! Fuck!”“What’s wrong, ma’am?” William quickly asked.“He’s getting away from me,” she said angrily as well as sadly. “He’s really getting away from me.”One mistake cost her everything.Her husband, her daughter, and even her sister, all of them moved away from her.The only person that was still with her was William.“Why won’t you also leave my side?” she asked him.“Does a dog ever leave the side of its master?” he said. “They may be manipulative, abusive, but the dog still loves its master.”Ch

“Fuck off, bitch,” Natasha pressed the trigger.However, nothing happened.Jessica thought she died, but she didn’t. She quickly recovered from the mental shock and slapped Natasha’s hand, making the gun fall out of her hand. “That’s an autoloader. You should manually cock for the first shot for it to be fired.” She kicked Natasha in the gut as hard as she could.Jessica was a very powerful woman, and so her kick sent Natasha crashing back violently.Jessica then sat on Natasha and began to hit her.“W-Wait,” Natasha tried to speak. “That gun wasn’t loaded.”“You expect me to believe that?” Jessica began to punch her face repeatedly, making her lips rupture and bleed. Still, she didn’t stop and kept going.The other employees gathered around. One of them picked up the revolver and checked for the bullets. “Ma’am, this gun really is empty.”Jessica was a bit shocked to hear that. “What?”“I told you…you fucking bitch!” Natasha grabbed Jessica’s throat and squeezed it. “I’ll kill you fo
CHAPTER 629
“Aww,” Elora crashed on the floor and cringed in pain. Liam rushed over to help her and tried to help her get up, but she got up on her own, saying, “I’m not that old yet.”“I never said you were,” Liam put forward the bouquet of lilies.“What the… too white and bright,” she blurted. “Your taste sucks.”Liam was shocked because it was Russell’s suggestion.Elora plucked just one lily from the bouquet and smelled it. “Anyway, what brought the great Liam Lynn here. There’s no child in this house, you know.”Liam’s expression suddenly hardened. Whether she was trying to mock him or was purposely trying to tease him, it felt like a joke that went too far. However, he saw not a ounce of negativity in Elora’s eyes. It was as if she was testing him to see how he’d react. “My child, no, our child is in this house, is he not?” Liam replied.Elora somewhat smiled. “Yeah, he is upstairs. You can go and talk to him.” She sat back on the couch. “If you move out of the way, I’ll watch the TV. The c
