The Secret Successor CHAPTER 575
The sky-bridge connected to the headquarters building on the 99th floor.Kyra came with Nora in a green Lamborghini Aventador. She purposely didn’t come in Alpha Wolfe car as Nora also wanted to drive in a green car.But at the parking zone, they came across the Heller family.Roddick was smiling at her with cheekiness. “You look gorgeous in a sky blue dress, Kyra.” He looked very healthy right now. Clearly, he went through some major changes physically, which was evident to her.His eyes also showed a sense of lust, which not only creeped Kyra out but also angered her.“Keep talking if you want to die early,” Kyra didn’t spare him more than a glance.“Oh, you are already walking with someone who’s getting ready for her funeral,” Roddick said, talking about Nora. “Or maybe, she already has one foot in her grave already.”Kyra’s blood boiled, and she was stepping toward him, which was exactly what Roddick wanted.“Kyra, let’s not waste our energy on a filthy worm,” Nora uttered.Kyra

“I’ll ask you a simple question,” Jessica was talking with Russell. “If you give the correct answer, I’ll talk with my boss so that you’ll get the gaming gear for a huge discount.”“But I already bought the gear the other day,” he said.“Eh?” Jessica was shocked. “T-Then, I’ll try to get you some services from the company for a discount.”“Mm, alright. Throw the question,” he said.“Whose chest is heavier?” Jessica asked. “Yours or mine?”“Pfft,” Kyra who just arrived there ended up spilling the wine in her mouth.Russell and Jessica turned to face her.Kyra looked embarrassed. “Uh, ahem, hello, Russell.”Jessica’s eyes slightly widened, but she quickly said, “What the hell do you want with him?”Kyra frowned. “I’m talking with him. What’s your problem?”“He’s my man,” Jessica quickly locked her arm around Russell’s arm. “So, of course, his problems are also my problems.”“W-What?” Kyra was shocked.“Stop going overboard, Jessica,” Russell removed Jessica’s hand, making her pout a li

Elora was aimlessly exploring, observing different guests. Her eyes happened to fall on Liam who was talking with a famous reporter who was one of the few that was allowed to enter the building.“Mr. Liam, how many flats are you going to buy in this building?” the reporter asked. She was also around the same age as Liam, and she seemed very excited to talk with him. Judging by her looks, she prepared well before coming to talk with him. “If not, you must at least be planning to buy one or two high-rises in Creed Zone, right?”“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” Lima replied. “Mr. Regan has made it absolutely clear that these buildings are not for residential use, so they are not for sale for anybody, even for other billionaires. If he could sell them, towers like these would not get UDS(undivided share) validation by the government, unless of course, he really pays them well in secret. Also, it would be impossible to give these flats to thousands of people, unless they’re really stupid
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 578
A few minutes earlier.“Please, Russell. Just one more chance…” Kyra grabbed Russells’ fist and held it with both hands. “I made the same mistake twice. I will not do it for a third time. Please trust me.”As those words fell in Jessica’s ears, her heart raced. She couldn’t move. She couldn’t even take a step forward or backward. She wanted to stop Russell from answering. She also wanted to run away so she wouldn’t be able to hear what he would say. But she could do neither right now.“Kyra…” Russell was saying, and Charlotte quickly entered her vision.“Kyra, are you out of your mind?” Charlotte grabbed her arm from behind while keeping her voice as low as possible because she didn’t want to make a scene. “Do you have any idea how you look right now? Like a cat returning to its vomit. That’s how you look when you are talking to him. My daughter, who can make the princes wait for her, wants to lower herself for what? Because you couldn’t forget him even after he backstabbed you and ch
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 579
After speaking out about everything that was weighing Russell’s heart in front of Charlotte and everyone else, Russell did not feel sad. In fact, he felt the opposite. He felt glad to be able to speak of those things as if they no longer affected him that much. The proof was that his eyes didn’t even get wet as he talked about the things that made him who he was now by beating him and breaking him over the years.Even though Charlotte counted his words as nothing more than an excuse, Russell did not care. He was enjoying the fact that he was able to let go of the past that had been making him feel heavy. His heart definitely felt lighter after that conversation.On top of that, his mother supported him, and her words also made him realize once again that Elora did not consider him as a failure even though the entire world might have considered him to be one.“Take back your words, or I swear I’ll—” Charlotte tried to attack Elora, but Kyra held her back. Still, Charlotte shook herself
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 580
“Dream Creed isn’t made just for entertainment but to also give a middle finger to the international money lenders who have the governments dancing in their palms for decades,” Regan added. “Now, don’t misunderstand me. I’m not saying you should earn only if you play my game, but you should at least do something to earn something unlike those bankers who bulk up and enrich themselves while doing nothing.“Power should be with the people, not with those who think they’re above the people. The governments or any public and private institutions must exist for the people, and so they can never be above the people. Laws must be made for all the people and not just to protect the interests of those few who do anything to stay in power. Police, military, president and everyone in the senate are answerable to the common man. Do not be afraid to face the authorities, people. Remember… A nation must fall before a man’s rights are violated. Nobody can take away our God-given freedoms. The feds a

Regan stepped back and let Russell take the stage to speak to everyone.“I never thought I’d be on a stage like this, not even in my dreams,” Russell said. “I didn’t prepare any speech, so please bear with me.“When I was in college, I believed that the corporate world is run by crazy people because the HR guys that interviewed me in college were all not just eccentric but unnerving. More mechanical and less flexible. They acted like they weren’t humans. I thought if these guys are like this, then how would their bosses be? Wouldn’t they be more unnerving?“I was not a bright student, but I was not really a poor student, either. I made it to the final stages of fourteen companies, and I’ve failed in all those. I didn’t tell this to anyone in my family, either, because I probably wouldn’t have joined those companies even if I had gotten a job. I was just testing my own worth by trying those placement interviews. And I think I didn’t completely lose my confidence despite not getting a j

Teresa’s bodyguard brought the AI-generated image of Elora and showed it to her.“I-Impossible…” Teresa was so shocked, she stumbled and almost fell, for the picture was decently similar to the real Elora’s face.And this evaporated all the doubts Teresa still clung onto in her mind.She believed that Regan was just making it up when he introduced Russell as his grandson. Otherwise, why would Elora spend decades on the bed and suffer? If she had a dad like Regan, wouldn’t she have asked for his help?Taking all these things into consideration, Teresa refused to accept their words as truth, but now, after seeing the image, her doubts were crushed.After all, her grandson who she had hated and treated poorly was thousands of times richer than her! Even Elora, the woman whom she always detested, was now in an untouchable position as the sole daughter of Regan Creed.In just a few minutes, Teresa felt like she had fallen from heaven, whereas Russell and Elora had ascended to a higher heav
