The Secret Successor CHAPTER 91
Natasha visited a hundred different places, looking for a job, but most of them said the same words: we have no vacancy. There were some who asked her to come to the backside of their building, but she didn’t oblige. She didn’t want to lose her virginity to some random stranger to get a job. Even if she were to get a job this way, there was no guarantee that the job would last long, either.She was hungry, but she could only drink tap water because she didn’t have money. She had slept the previous night with 1000 dollars hidden in her dress, but the money was gone when she woke up this morning. It was surely the biggest shock of her life.She first doubted the Lynn and the Bennett families, thinking they were still targeting her to make her life all the more miserable.Because she had no money to even eat, she wanted to eat something as well as travel to her next destination. So she stood by the road and asked for a lift. A taxi stopped first, but she told the driver to leave. He kept
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 92
Russell came to the Lynn estate, but to his shock, the guards didn’t let him inside. He called Liam’s number, but Liam didn’t answer. He told the guards that he’s going to marry Kyra soon, and they initially laughed but then got angry.“Your car is good, but it’s not good enough to fool us,” they coldly said. “If you don’t get away from our sight in five seconds, we’ll break five of your fingers each.”Russell felt genuinely threatened as it seemed like the two guards really meant what they said. These guys were tall and big, and they were equipped with guns as well.“Please just go inside and tell Sir Liam that Russell is here,” he tried to reason with them. “If he says he doesn’t know me, then I’ll do a hundred, no, fifty squats here, and then go my way.”The guards looked at each other once before saying, “Hundred. If he says he doesn’t know you, and if you’re not who you said you were, then you’ll do a hundred squats. Full squats where your butt goes below the knee.”“Yes,” Russel

“P-Preliminary test?” Russell looked confused. “What do you mean, sir?”“The main test starts now,” Liam said. “You’ll have until sunrise to pull a prank on Kyra so that she realizes her mistakes and apologizes to you.”Russell’s jaw dropped. He should make Kyra apologize to him? He thought Kyra and her mother were crazy, but Liam Lynn just proved that he wasn’t the head of the Lynn family for no reason. “What if she hates me for pulling a prank on her?”“Then you’ll call her for what she is. A hypocrite.”“T-That’s…” Russell still couldn’t tell whether Liam was just kidding with him or not.“Your time has already started, but remember this,” Liam warned. “You are allowed to do anything without resorting to violence.”This was when Russell realized that Liam wasn’t joking.“I-It’s already evening, sir,” Russell asked what he believed was a valid question. “She’ll soon come and won’t come out until morning, so how am I going to prank her?”“You’re not that bright, are you? Did I ever t

Russell was still under the bed, waiting for Kyra to finish her bath.“I’m just an ordinary guy, but compared to Kyra, I’m nothing. And it seems she still doubts me. I hope I’ll erase that doubt from her heart sooner rather than later.”A few seconds passed, and he couldn’t help but wonder how she would think of him if he were to suddenly come out and scare her. He didn’t know her enough to come to any conclusion.Time passed, and Kyra eventually came out of the bathroom, fully dressed.Russell would be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed by seeing her fully-clothed, as he had been expecting her to come in a towel.Kyra sat down on the bed.Russell sneaked up from the other side and climbed onto the bed. As she dried her hair, her scent carried over to him and mesmerized him. Just as she was done, Russell steeled his heart and suddenly grabbed her neck from behind.The hair dryer dropped from Kyra’s hand.“Hello, Kyra…” he spoke in a hoarse voice, bringing his face closer from beh
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 95
In the Lynn family, it was necessary to eat dinner between 6-8 PM as Liam had set it as a rule. Those who broke this rule for no good reason would be punished by force-fasting the entire following day without even drinking water or taking a bath.After breaking this rule multiple times and getting used to it, Kyra didn’t really fear that rule anymore. But ever since she came to know that she was pregnant, she began following a strict diet schedule.Currently, Kyra sat down at the dining table and waited for the maids as usual.However, the person that came to serve her wasn’t a maid but Russell. He quickly poured water in the glass and then started serving the food.“W-Why are you serving?” Kyra looked shocked. “Wait, did you wash your hands?”“Uh…” Russell was startled. “Just a second.” He went to the nearest washing sink and returned with wet hands.She gave him a small towel that she had kept on her thighs until now.He looked confused.“Dry your hands before serving,” she said. (Y
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 96
Roddick couldn’t process what just happened. For one thing, a mere butler dared to pull him aside, then sat in his chair and began to eat food meant to be eaten by him. Not only did something like this never happen to him before, but he also was baffled as to why Kyra didn’t put the butler in his place.Why didn’t she stand and slap in his face?Why was she still sitting in her chair and acting as if nothing much happened?Was she just angry because Roddick came unannounced and began asking her questions? Or, were there more? He had no answers to these questions right now.Kyra, on the other hand, was thinking in a completely different manner.While she was shocked at first by how Russell had acted, she then began smiling on the inside. Firstly, she liked how Roddick was treated. Secondly, she remembered telling Russell to act like an alpha as that's what she expected her husband to behave. Of course, she would have liked it even more had Russell slapped Roddick and put him in his pla

“Whoa, whoa,” Kyra was stepping in to stop them, but Russell headbutted Roddick’s face so fast and was all over him, pounding Roddick’s face with his fists. “Stop!” she pulled Russell away.“Tell him to take his words back,” Russell told Kyra, still breathing hard.“Truth really hurts, doesn’t it?” Roddick was smiling. “How about I say it again? Are you going to come and beat me again?”“If I beat you again, all your teeth will fall out!” Russell howled.“Really?” Roddick kept smiling. “I’d like to see you try.”Kyra frowned because she knew Roddick had experience in boxing. If he were to get serious about killing Russell, then he easily could. Even without using money, he could completely bury the evidence because the dads of his friends were all working in high places such as national level courts and police agencies. Even if Roddick were to massacre the whole Bennett family in broad daylight, none of it would be mentioned let alone be discussed in any newspapers or news channels. A
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 98
Roddick went to the guest room, escorted by a maid.Kyra stood paralyzed right where she was after the crazy thought she had. What the hell did Roddick mean when he said those words? Her heart trembled and ached at the same time. Her mind had gone crazy as she had never considered the possibility of Roddick killing her late boyfriend, not even in her dreams.She looked at her mother and father. Did they know about it?It was definitely possible for them to know and remain silent for the sake of keeping the relations between the Lynn and the Heller family intact.It was also highly possible that they didn’t know anything about it, as Roddick was capable of covering up everything with his influence so that it would never reach the ears of people from the Lynn family.However, what she didn’t get was why he revealed it to her at this moment when it would only negatively impact him and make Kyra hate him all the more. There was only one reason she could think of. He didn’t care how she th
