The Secret Successor CHAPTER 592
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

In just a few minutes, Russell had been shown so many things by Hackney through an aerial projection of the reality of this world from all the online scams to the existence of blood-drinking beings that roam in the night.Russell’s mind felt overloaded with a lot of data that made him feel sad because the state of the world was much worse than anything he had ever experienced.Sure, he struggled to take care of his sick mom and didn’t quite have peace at home, but growing up, he didn’t spend days without eating anything, except when he was depressed.Now, after seeing heartbreaking things such as children being trafficked around the world, and people killing their own parents for their wealth, old folks freezing and dying on the streets with no one to bury their bodies and many more.He knew that many of these things were happening all around the world all the time, but seeing them all at once with his own eyes made his heart feel like it weighed a ton.[What I’ve shown you is not eve

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. However, it still dealt a big blow to her ego and confidence. She lost more than three-fourths of her followers in a very quick span, after all. And her friends were also avoiding her. Her sister’s marriage was also canceled. She couldn’t even go online and chat with anybody without them laug

It was Russell’s first day working as the unofficial CEO of Creed Tech Zone as he wasn't officially approved by the board of directors yet. So many bigwigs wanted to meet him and so tried to get his appointment, but Russell did not give an appointment to anybody because he wanted to spend time with the company staff and get to know them first so that he’d know the state of things on the inside.Jessica accompanied him no matter where he went or who he was meeting. She stuck to him like glue. If it was another person, Russell might have felt uncomfortable, but because he knew her well, he didn’t mind it. The only problem though was that whenever he shook hands with a female employee that was still in a good age for marriage, Jessica’s aura changed. She acted as if she didn’t want Russell to spend more than five seconds with any of them.When Russell was entering the men's toilet, Jessica almost followed him inside and stopped just outside the door.Russell found himself shaking his hea

Russell Tower was inaugurated by Russell himself, but with Regan next to him, clapping. Both of them put sweets in each other’s mouths.Russell Tower was the tallest tower in the Creed Zone with a spectacular view from the rooftop.Before Regan rebuilt Creed Zone, Lynn Tower was seen as the best architectural marvel in the city and perhaps the country, but now, many towers in Creed Zone far exceeded Lynn Tower where Russell and Kyra’s wedding had happened. Whether it be in height, build quality, comfort, tech, every aspect outdid what Lynn Tower had.The likes of Adam Conreid, Ross Raer, Gregory Myers, Lucas Blake, Selena Sterling, and many more prominent figures from around the country had come to this function. Of course,they all had their own reasons for coming.For instance, Gregory Myers owned a world famous clothing brand, so he wanted to promote his clothing through the game, too. Selena Sterling on the other hand received 2 million dollars just to show up at the event because

The officers’ words shocked Russell for a second. “What?” He didn’t even know how to react because he had never handled something like this before.Even Jessica was baffled as she hadn’t dealt with arrests or warrants so far.Both of them didn’t even know to see the documents and check the details for themselves.“What do you mean by arresting him?” Russell asked. “What did he do?”“It’s a long story, so let us talk in private,” the officers told him, but they actually wanted him to cause a scene here.Some people overheard what the officers were saying and began to murmur about it.Their talk eventually reached Kyra’s ears. “Regan is getting arrested?” she looked at her mom who didn’t look too surprised. “Did you know about it beforehand?”“Of course not,” Charlotte casually lied. “I would have warned him had I known it prior.”Kyra didn’t fully trust her mother’s words. “Where is Regan?”“He’s probably downstairs being taken away by the police as we speak,” Charlotte said.“How do y

Russell tracked his grandfather using his mobile. Through Regan’s mobile, he was able to identify the mobiles that the nearby police officers were using. And he hacked their mobiles as well and obtained all the information on their phones.Just this much made Russell’s head feel hot because there was a lot of information on those mobiles worth in terabytes because they were advanced military-grade mobiles.“As I thought, they’re not planning to even take him to jail,” Russell gritted his teeth. “Their destination is a private park on the south west side of the city.”[From the information, it’s clear there is a hidden cloning center there.] Hackney said.“So they’re planning to clone him,” Russell’s heart was racing at this point. “How do we stop them? Should I ask the Aeson family for help?”[Don’t be silly. If you ask them for help, they will demand you to give me up in exchange.]“Well, I don’t see much wrong with that. They can put you to better use than I can,” Russell opined.[Y
