The Secret Successor CHAPTER 563
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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 568
Even though it’s night time, Regan was talking with Adam Conreid, the third son of Parul Conreid.“Sorry for not being able to talk to you when you came last time,” Regan apologized.“You had a serious health issue, sir, so I can totally understand it,” he replied with a soft smile. He had a short haircut, refined beard, and a classic businessman look, as one would expect from the members of the Conreid family.“I’ll be straightforward. You know why your dad sent you here, right?”“To learn from you?” Adam wondered. “Is it not?”“What is your ambition, Adam?” Regan asked. “What is that thing that keeps you up at night and makes you sleep no more than four hours? Do you even have such a dream?”“I want to completely end homelessness in the world,” Adam said, quite surprising Regan, “starting with this country.”“You want to do what?” Regan had to sip some water because he was not expecting such words to come out from a member of the Conreid family who were all very business-minded. “Ho

The next morning.Everybody in the city was talking about the game Dream Creed, not just because it was believed to be a highly advanced game that would leapfrog the gaming industry decades into the future but also because important people from all around the world were making their way to the Creed Zone.The country’s president was just one of the many that were going to grace the stage, and what baffled many people was that even the president was not announced as the chief guest.Nobody knew who the chief guest of the event was. Who was going to cut the ribbon and launch the game then? People could only wonder at this point.Dozens of buses were allotted for the citizens to freely go to the Creed Zone. However, only those who had received the invitation tickets were allowed to enter the buses. These invitation tickets could be obtained online after verifying with their ID.Russell and Elora also acquired two of these invitation tickets.These invitation tickets were different from t

Russell was reading Regan’s book. Elora was just watching the scenery change through the window.The bus just reached the main public entrance of the Creed Zone. The vehicles were being scanned as they passed through the entrance, and the technology was advanced enough to scan for guns or any dangerous weapons that could be used to cause chaos during the event.Soon after the bus entered, it also stopped because a few extremely fat dark-skinned women were walking in the middle of the street.The driver pressed the horn, but they didn’t make way. He got angry and shouted, “Hey, Cattle! Move aside.”The people in the bus were shocked because the driver called them cattle. Was it because they were obese women, or was it because they were walking in the middle of the street?The four women turned back and kept blocking the bus. “How dare you call us cattle!” they yelled at the driver.“My bad. Cattle are better than you pigs!” the driver shouted back. “Cattle would cross the street and ma
