Kyra was leaving with her grandmother. Though she was driving, she wished she could just put the auto-driving mode on, but she wasn’t confident with this car like she was with Alpha Wolfe.“How long are you going to keep that face?” Nora asked while eating a banana.“What face? I’m totally fine,” she replied without even looking.“Spell totally.”Kyra glanced at her. “I’m fine, Grandma. Russell being Regan’s grandson doesn’t change anything.”“Are you really saying that when your mother has been calling your mobile nonstop ever since you left the ceremony?” Nora said. “She obviously wants you to get back together with Russell. She’s going to pressure you into doing that.”Kyra didn’t say anything.“You are one of the most beautiful women in the world, Kyra,” Nora said. “You dress smartly and elegantly. You don’t reveal much, and that shows your confidence. You don’t try to look sexy. I’m sure there will be guys who find that incredibly attractive just the way you are.”“Are you trying

Even though they arrived on the 50th floor of the headquarters, there was a lot of traffic there, including lots of reporters who were flashing cameras even before Russell got out.And once he stepped out, his eyes slowly but surely widened because of the number of cameras flashing at him while the guards were keeping the reporters away. “Mr. Russell, is it true that your grandfather gifted Boyen Redemption to you?”“Tell us where you went!”“What’s with the kerchief around your head?”“Are you going to play Dream Creed as well?”“Tell us about you and your mother, Mr. Russell!”As the reporters flooded him with questions, he had to make his way inside the building. It took some effort to achieve that.Both Russell and Jessica then looked at each other. He smiled, and she smiled back even though she didn’t know why he was smiling.Meanwhile, Regan was in his office, also smiling as he was looking

Over 110 million people logged into the game within the first minute the game launched. There was not the slightest server delay for those who had set up the special network wiring to their houses.Russell did not log into the game, but he was watching other gamers play from the server room.“What’s the company’s share price, Grandpa?” Russell asked Regan.“202.89 dollars today,” Jessica quickly said. “If things go well, we’re expecting it to rise by ten to twenty percent by tomorrow.”“What are the outstanding shares of the company?” he asked.“Um, over five billion shares,” she said. “Boss Regan owns about 76 percent of those.”“What about Charlotte?” he asked.Jessica quickly checked for the details in her tablet. “Nearly 55 million shares.”“A little over one percent, huh…” Russell seemed to be thinking about it.Jessica wondered why he was asking about Charlotte’s shares now.“What about Kyra?” he asked.Jessica’s shoulders jerked a bit. “W-Why her?”Russell glanced at her and sa

A lot of things happened in just one day.Firstly, Russell’s name spread to all corners of the country and spread throughout the world. His images were printed on many papers as well as magazines on the front page. Along with his image, Russell’s image was also shown.Elora’s image, however, was only shown as a secondary image because people were fully sure if Elora was actually Regan’s daughter or not as Regan and Elora were never seen together. So, there wasn’t much for the press to sell in that regard. Russell was their selling point, so they used his images everywhere.Secondly, Russell’s car Boyen Redemption also captured many eyes as it was the only model that the company had released and was then bought by Regan. So, there was only one such car in the world. And people began to look online for its features and capabilities.Thirdly, Russell’s past was spread by his school friends, and in the end, people began to troll Natasha online so much that her name was trending on multipl

The next morning.Jessica was eating breakfast, and her brother was also sitting next to her and didn’t seem too interested in eating.“Are you not liking the hotel food?” she asked him.“Can’t you wake up a little early and cook for us?” Derek asked. “I’m not asking you to cook three times a day. Just cook one time, and I’ll eat it for two or three days if you want.”“Mm, I've been very busy lately. Once my schedule lets me breathe better, I’ll definitely cook at home,” she said.Just then, she heard a horn.“The driver has come. I should go,” she quickly stuffed the remaining food in her mouth, grabbed her bag and rushed out.Derek shook his head. “In the past, she would take her time to eat, but now, she’s not even eating peacefully. What’s the point of earning so much salary when you can’t even stay at your home for long? Well, this house isn’t exactly ours, but…” he thought for a moment. “With my sister's salary, it’s possible to buy this place in a couple of years. But will she

Jessica thought Russell was taking him to the company building, but he brought her to Tuna Waves instead.She began to think about all kinds of things, but then she saw that Regan was waiting for them inside.Regan didn’t look too happy because he had told his grandson to come alone.“Jessica, can you feel the air outside for a bit?” Regan asked her.“Feel the air?” She didn’t understand him for a second, but then quickly nodded. “Y-Yes, Boss.”“Thank you,” Regan said and then she went out of the room.“What is it that you wanted to talk about that you sent her away?” Russell curiously asked.Regan locked the door, further puzzling Russell. Regan made Russell sit down first, but he still stood and asked, “Do you know how many hairs are on your head?”Russell raised his eyebrows. “Is that a serious question, or a casual one?”“Answer my question, Bud,” Regan put his hand on his grandson’s shoulder.“I don’t know. A million maybe?”“144,077,” Regan said.Russell paused for a second. “Y

Natasha’s vlogging account was going very well until yesterday. She gained nearly four million subscribers, becoming the fastest to earn so many subscribers on that platform. The reason was simple. Everybody wanted to see her for her charm and beauty and elegance in how she handled her daily affairs, some of which were challenging.However, things completely flipped on their head after it was revealed that Russell was the grandson of Regan Creed.Overnight, the social media was full of people trolling Natasha, and her subscriber count fell from 3.96 million to 820K within 48 hours.Natasha didn’t need her vlogging account succeeding because her livelihood didn’t depend on this profession of hers.
