The Secret Successor CHAPTER 611
Seeing Graecon coming at Russell, David and Sansa were moving to intercept Graecon, but Russell signaled them to stop and went forth to face the opponent himself. Graecon’s punch cast a bright blue light that would blind the opponent. Russell thrust his palm out and uttered, “Repel.” Graecon’s attack bounced off of an invisible shield and hit Graecon himself, not just charring his skin but burning his organs. “Guh,” Graecon coughed blood. Roddick’s eyes turned as round as the moon as he saw Graecon get injured from his own attack. How could Russell do that? He couldn’t process what just happened. The same could be said for Graecon as he hadn’t seen this coming. Graecon landed on the ship and stepped back twice while touching his chest as the electric shock was hurting him. His eyes widened a bit as he looked at Russell. “I underestimated you. Did you borrow a system from the Aeson family?” “Why would I answer your question?” Russell replied, cracking his knuckles. “Since you at

Graecon left without taking Roddick with him.David and Sansa helped wake up Kyra, Nora, and other people that lost their consciousness.Russell, on the other hand, was looking at Roddick who was talking to the air, as if he was living in a different reality. He couldn’t even recognize Russell anymore, or cared about who was next to him.“Was I too harsh?” Russell thought.As people began to wake up, they all wondered what exactly happened to them. Their mobiles weren’t switching on no matter how many times they pressed the power button. All this greatly confused them.On top of that, Roddick was behaving weirdly. Stacy came over to her son and tried to talk to him, but he didn’t recognize her.“What happened to you, Son?” Stacy glared at Roddick. “What did you do to my son?”“You carried him for ten months, right?” Russell said. “So, you should know how bad Kyra must have felt when he killed that baby growing in her. And… your brilliant son made many women pregnant, not just Shyanne.
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 613
The next morning.Russell woke up and found himself quite tired. He felt very drained because of how much energy he spent through the hacking system the other night.It was only after he drank some electrolyte-filled water, he felt better.He looked at the wall clock.“It’s already nine,” he sighed. “I can’t pick her up from her house today.”He then freshened up and had breakfast before heading to the office in his Boyen Redemption.Once he reached Russell’s Tower, he was surprised to see Tyler the Collection King waiting outside.He was carrying a big bag.“Mr. Russell, how are you doing?” Tyler let out a big smile.“I’m okay. How are you doing, Uncle Tyler?” asked Russell.Tyler’s smile grew twice as wide because Russell called him uncle.“Come inside,” Russell took him into his office.The office was almost as big as the hall in Tyler’s house. The slim black teak table with glass top was the most stylish table he had ever seen. The table was clean and neat with no unnecessary item

At Kyra’s home.“Men and women need to maintain a value and make sure they give something of value to their partner. Otherwise, they shouldn’t even get married in the first place,” Nora was talking with her granddaughter. “It doesn’t matter what kind of work you do, whether you work outside and earn cash, or cook in the kitchen, everything has its own value. You can’t compare one to another. Now, what value do you think you have in Russell’s mind?”Kyra found herself staring at the glass of coconut water in her hand. “Other than that one bad night, everything was going okay between us. He obviously liked the way I look, and he tried to get close to me. I was the one who pushed him away for different reasons.”“It’s not just women who take minute details to heart, Kyra. Men do, too,” Nora said.“Tell me what I should do to get him to change his mind?” Kyra asked.“Unfortunately, I don’t know him as much as you know him,” Nora replied. “But if you do fight him in court, his heart is goi

Because of the undeniable proofs that Russell had presented, the international court of justice had secretly called those who had tried to sully Regan’s name and made some of them come to an agreement, while some others didn’t even come to the court and instead boldly stated they don’t care about facts.However, something happened that night.The very next day, all these people together had agreed to pay 2 billion dollars to Regan for trying to ruin his image as well as damage the reputation of his company. Because of this, the company’s stock price rose much more than it had fallen. It was nearing 300 dollars now.However, not a single person formally apologized to Regan, which was also why they had to pay such a huge amount. What the public didn’t know was that this money was not paid out of their own pockets but through the national order, which meant that this was taxpayers’ money.Thanks to Russell’s efforts these past few days, Regan was proven not guilty. And so, Regan’s popula

Russell was working in his office.Someone knocked on the door and asked, “Are you free?”Russell recognized the voice. “Come inside, Grandpa. You don’t have to ask for my permission like this.”“I still need to respect your position,” Regan said and sat down opposite him with his hands placed on his walking staff.“I thought you were going to do everything you can to bring Liam out,” Russell said. “But you seem to be working less and less about his case these days?”“Ah, about that… Nora told me to not interfere with the problems of the Lynn family,” Russell replied.“She said that?” Regan looked surprised. “Many people are trying to crush the Lynn family because Liam is in jail. The people who supported him for decades are turning their backs toward him now. So, for Nora to say such words… I wasn’t expecting that. She should use all the help she can get, so what exactly is she thinking by refusing to accept your help?”“I have no idea,” Russell sighed. “Maybe it has to do with her e

Kyra and Nora met Liam in prison.They gave him ten minutes to talk to his family. Because Liam was involved in a serious case, he was only allowed to talk to his family from the other side of the metal fence because he wasn’t considered safe even to his own family members.Nora couldn’t even touch her son’s hands, which brought lots of tears to her eyes. She couldn’t even speak because her heart was full of pain. She just grabbed Kyra’s shoulder for support so she wouldn’t collapse to the side.Kyra looked at the injury of Liam’s forehead. His knuckles were covered with bandages, too. “What’s with those injuries, dad?”“Some inmates have been trying to ‘tame’ me,” Liam said. “They are trying to stab me with knives and rape me. I’m somehow winning against so far, but I don’t know how long I’ll keep winning.” His words gutted Kyra’s heart.“I will bring you out as fast I can, Son,” Nora quickly said.“It’s okay, Mom,” Liam said. “And I don’t want to come out on bail. I will come out on
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 618
In the evening.Jessica entered Russell’s office and said, “Have you seen what Shrek has done?”“Seen what?”She hurriedly came over and showed him a few pics of Natasha on her mobile. These were pictures of Natasha taken with her new car.“She bought Rolls Royce Spectre this morning and named it after you,” Jessica said.“Huh?” Russell’s expression warped. “What?”“She’s shamelessly trying to get your attention again,” Jessica said. “Many people in the comments are wondering if you two are going to get back together. This is all part of her plan.”“No matter what she does, I’m not going back to her,” Russell said, “even though she looks superb in those pictures.”Jessica raised her eyebrows. “Superb, huh. I guess you like it when a woman wears makeup.”“C’mon, I was just trying to tease you,” Russell said. “But credit where credit is due. She looks good in those pictures, but… I don’t care about her anymore than I care about the hair on my butt.”Jessica’s expression warped a little.

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

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
CHAPTER 630
“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
