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.

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

“Russell?”Liam was not expecting him of all people to be here right now. He slowly approached him, who was standing next to his Boyen Redemption.“Were you the one who got me out?” Liam asked.Russell stepped forward, opened his arms wide and gave him a slow and big hug.Liam remained silent.“Love you… Dad,” Russell uttered emotionally.Liam’s expression froze for a second, and he began to melt down like an ice cream. He hugged his son tightly and silently shed thick tears. His wounds were hurting because Russell was hugging, but he didn’t care about that at all right now.He thought he’d never get to hug his son or call him ‘son.’He had prepared himself to live the rest of his life this way.However, now, all the pain built up in his heart was easing up. Though he wished he was there for him when he was growing up, he still felt glad that at least now, he was able to hug his little boy and feel his heart.HIs life that had been boring for many years like a dog chained to the same

Kyra and Nora were eating lunch in her home.“How is the case progressing, ma’am?” Connie, the old maid, asked them.“The judge is not responding well, but we’re trying our best,” Kyra said. “I will go to any lengths to bring him out.”“I hope he’s eating well,” Nora said in a sad voice. “He loves eating good food and then working out. But he can’t do any of those in jai.”Nora’s words made Kyra purse her lips emotionally.Just then, Jessica entered through the main door.Kyra saw her and frowned. “What are you doing here?”“I was pushed by Mr. Regan into coming here,” Jessica said, and then looked at Nora with whom she was a little acquainted with as both of them had met in Tom’s house when Russell was staying there. “Russell now knows the truth about his parents.”Nora started coughing all of a sudden.Connie quickly gave her a glass of water.“What truth?” Kyra asked. “What does it matter to me if it’s something about Russell’s parents? You should just tell me what exactly you came

At Russell’s office.Russell was talking on his mobile. “Dad, why are you unable to talk with her? You should go and meet her before she leaves the country.”“I-I want to, but I’m not able to gather enough courage,” Liam said.Russell found it a little amusing that Liam who could beat a dozen thugs in prison was now unable to talk to Elora because he couldn’t muster enough courage.“What if she’s waiting for you, Dad?” Russell asked him back. “Don’t miss this opportunity.”“Y-You’re right,” Liam took a deep breath. “I will buy some flowers and take them to her.”“She likes jasmine.”“Oh, I’ll buy a bouquet of them then. Thanks for telling.”“No problem. I’ll meet you in the evening then,” Russell said. “Bye.”The call ended.Moments later, Jessica entered his room and showed him her mobile. “Look what Natasha is doing. She’s had someone make a face-mask of you. And she’s going for rides in her new car with the fake Russell. The people do seem to realize that it’s a fake version of you
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 625
Russell’s teacher, Tom, left his house and took nothing from the house except his wife’s photo. His dog, Max, did not stay in the house, either, and followed him.Tom did not feel any peace or satisfaction by staying in this house anymore. Now that his dog was in a position to move well enough, he set out on a journey with little to no money in his hand.“I know you will probably lose this property sooner or later, Son, but it doesn’t matter to me anymore, whether you live happily or die poorly. I’m done with you. I won’t be seeing you again,” Tom thought.As he was passing by a store, he saw pictures of Russell in the newspapers and magazines.“To think he was the grandson of Regan Creed…” Tom smiled. “I was not expecting that at all. Just don’t let money dictate your life, Russell, and I’ll be happy for you no matter what you do.”Somewhere else in the city.“Here I am, sitting next to the face only a mother could love,” Natasha was vlogging while driving her luxury electric car, Ro
