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

In the middle of the night, a black SUV stopped in front of Arnold’s house. It was the car that Tyler the Collection King had gifted to Russell on his birthday, a car worth more than 100,000 dollars.William was in the driver’s seat. Russell was sitting in the back.“Young Lady Kyra told me to tell you two things,” William said, looking at him through the mirror. “First. Don’t take Roddick lightly. Second. Don’t come out of your house tomorrow.”Russell was confused. “Wait, I can understand the first one, but why does she not want me to come out the house tomorrow? I’m not feeling stiff anymore. I think my back has healed. This night’s rest should be more than enough to rest. There’s no need for me to stay in the house tomorrow.”“Do you have any important work tomorrow?” William kept staring at him without blinking. This had been a scary aspect of William. He rarely blinked, making Russell wonder if William was even human at times. Just sort of experiences he had for him to become so

The next morning. Jessica was on her way to her job, currently waiting at the bus stop, but she was talking with Irene about Russell’s marriage. “If he gets married, I wouldn’t be able to see him often, right?” “No, you won’t be able to see him ever again,” Irene bluntly said, bringing a tear to Jessica’s eye. “Since you clearly love him so much, why don’t you just go and confess to him?” “What? Now?” Jessica was shocked. “He has a wedding tomorrow, with a big family at that. If I go and talk him out of it, everyone will think badly of me.” “Screw what others think about you. Only what Russell thinks about you matters,” Irene said. “And he didn’t give you the wedding card, did he? Why do you think so? Isn’t it because he couldn’t give it to you? Maybe, deep in his heart… he has feelings for you, and he just doesn’t know it yet.” “You really think so?” “Of course. You should be more open and bold about this, Jessica. Remember how Natasha snatched him from your side. You’ve been tr
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 101
A few minutes earlier.Even though it was nine in the morning, Russell was still sleeping. His room door wasn’t locked because he didn’t have that habit of locking the door.“Brother!” Viola ran into the room and jumped onto the bed, turned her body axially in midair and crashed her bum on his abdomen.“AUUGHH!” Russell got jolted out of his sleep.“Brother! Have you seen your new video?” Viola excitedly asked. “It crossed 100,000 views!”Russell pushed her aside, cringing in pain. He slowly got up, fearing that his back might have gotten hurt due to Viola's reckless action, but luckily, he was able to sit up without much of a problem. “Viola! You think you’re still a five year old or what?” he fumed at her. “You weigh 50 kilos now!”“I only weigh 47, though,” she retorted.Russell controlled his anger and exhaled audibly. “Anyway, you were saying something?”Viola showed him the mobile screen. “Your video is trending in the top 100 in the vlog category.”“R-Really?” Russell grabbed t
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 102
A taste sweeter than chocolate seized his soul as two masses softer than marshmallows collided with Russell’s lips and birthed a flame at the uttermost depths of his heart, making him moan.He had been kissed a few times in the past, but all those kisses paled in comparison to this kiss that attacked with the center point of sweetness and held its ground as if trying to prove that it was more than a moment of lust.Saying that it was refreshing would be an understatement.Russell forgot about all his worries and cares, and felt as if he was floating in the air. It was like taking a trip to the heaven above, a place he had never been before, yet it also felt as warm and comfortable as a baby would feel in the mother’s womb.He wanted this feeling to last forever.As seconds passed, he felt the taste of Jessica’s lips and her passion filling his body and soul.They had become one as a flower that was pressed against two halves of a book that had similar yet completely different stories.
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 103
The masked assassin had been observing everything since early in the morning so he could make the perfect plan.“There are many variables in this mission. First, I saw a few faces walking to and fro in the same street, which means they’re probably taking a loop around the house since its backside is also linked to a different street. I was wondering why they didn’t put any guards. Well, it’s because they must have hired these women from some security firm. Hmph, they are so poor at doing their job, though. Fooling their eyes shouldn’t be too difficult.“Once I enter the house and turn the cameras off, killing him shouldn’t be much of a deal.“Two million dollars are at stake here, so I can’t make a single error.” He told himself and put the mask of Jennifer on his face and also dressed himself appropriately.He then fearlessly went to Russell’s house. The female security guards didn’t even doubt it. (As expected, my camouflage is perfect. No one can beat you in this, Edward. ) He told
