The Secret Successor CHAPTER 614
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

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.
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 619
Elora and Regan were in a very involved discussion, and so they didn’t see Russell and Jessica entering the building.Elora’s heart thundered in her chest once she saw Russell.Regan’s eyes widened as well, and he had to drink the wine left in the glass to control his own anxiety.“W-What the hell are you saying… Mom?” Russell slowly walked toward her, still unable to tell if he was dreaming or not.Elora’s body became stiff. Her face was filled with shame. “There are some things that are too shameful that I can’t tell anybody, especially to my own son.” She couldn’t look him in the eye.Russell’s mouth turned down very much. He looked sad and shocked as these were very similar to the words he had told Gage back when Gage came to meet him in the hotel room, on the same day Skarlett came to give him her wedding card. Still, how can she keep from him the fact that Liam Lynn was his father?“Mom…” Russell grabbed Elora’s shoulders. “How is Liam my father? Isn’t Arnold my father? I didn’t

In the Heller family estate.Harry and Stacy were having dinner, and they did not look happy at all because Roddick was roaming around in his towel and with shampoo in his hair. He was talking vague things as he aimlessly roamed about.“Look at what he’s doing,” Stacy’s jaw hardened. “That’s why I told you to give him a sleeping pill.”“I did.”“You did?”“Yeah. It didn’t seem to have any effect,” Harry said. “Let me call the doctor.” He grabbed his mobile. Just then, he began to receive loads of notifications like he never received before.As Harry began to check the images of the documents and the videos, his face turned pale.“What’s wrong?” Stacy asked.Harry turned the mobile toward her. And she saw a picture on the mobile screen, which made her cough the food in her mouth. After all, it was a picture of Russell posing with a dead lady whom he had raped and killed in the wildlife preserve owned by the Heller family.“Why are you looking at it now?” Stacy asked angrily.“Someone s

It had been two weeks since Dream Creed released, and its results were much more groundbreaking than Regan expected. The game accumulated trillions of minutes of user time in just the last fourteen days, shattering every record ever set in gaming and entertainment history. The next one wasn't even close to this record.To celebrate the occasion, Russell gave a short interview which was released very early in the morning and received a lot of views.“More than half a billion have started playing the game,” Russell said. “This is unheard of. And it makes me happy because through playing, they are also able to earn a salary soon. I haven’t worked under someone before, but I’ve seen my dad working under someone for his entire life, so I can tell this much. If you work for someone else, you will never get rich. Work for yourself, and the riches will get to you.“That’s what this game offers to you all. A world where you can work as you want and earn at the same time. However, we do know ho
