Mark was standing outside the building of the famous law firm of Clovelly, knowing that this was the place which the Blue Mountains Group depended on, for all their legal work.He had already talked to the President of the Hermes and Sons Legal Solutions', and he had requested him to wait for him as the President himself was coming downstairs to welcome him.He had been made aware of Mark's reality along with the rest of the world, and was afraid that if he did not give Marcus Rover some extra protocols, then he might have to face further problems because of the past behavior he has shown towards him.Hence, he was already on his knees as soon as he heard that Marcus Rover had shown up at his door. He was about to run down the stairs from his office to receive him, not knowing that there were still a few people left in the city, who were living under a rock.And one of his employees also belonged to the same group, as he had been posted overseas since the last three months for some tr

The call was picked within a few rings.Alex's voice echoed clearly from the other end of the call as he spoke;"Yes, Grandpa! What happened? Do you need anything, or is there any work for me-"Maxwell knew for a fact, that no one apart from Alex would be able to get him to Marcus right now.And after what had happened in the last few days, he just couldn't leave his granddaughter- in -law alone and defenseless in Clovelly. His concerns would have been laid to rest to some extent, if there was the assurance of Mark being by her side; but Maxwell was aware that his grandson had a very bad habit of keeping his work above everything else.After that, there was no chance that he was going to trust that old Mariella for her safety.In any case, he didn't like her ever since the first time he came across her, even when they had been much younger.And after all these years, there was absolutely no change in her personality- if anything, she had rather become much more snobbish and unlikeabl

Maxwell replied very nonchalantly,"Yes, I want to see for myself, what is going on in the city."Alex asked tentatively,"So we're going for a visit? But didn't they just leave Lancaster?" But the next moment, the stern yet composed voice of Maxwell resonated through the line."Alex, I've made up my mind. I will stay there for a few days."Alex sighed internally, realizing the delicate situation he was in. He had hoped to avoid this conversation, knowing the potential risks of taking him there."Grandpa," Alex began, choosing his words carefully, "let's not go to Mark's house. There's minimal staff there, and, frankly, there is no one who will be able to take care of you efficiently."Feeling confident in his excuse, he continued;"Even the security is not at your level. And after all, the living conditions are not what you're used to, as Maxwell Rover. The staff is just some old staff from the Rover Mansion, and -"Maxwell's response was firm, his voice carrying the weight of autho

Cassie looked at Mariella with shock; because according to what Mariella had said to her, she had already cut all ties with Andrew.But if she had already cut all ties, then why was she meeting him? And the bigger question was when and how- because as far as she remembered, Mariella had not left the house in her presence.Then was Violet saying the truth, and her grandmother was lying to her?There were so many questions that had popped up in her mind.But before she could have voiced any one of them, Mariella spoke again. "Yes, I did go to meet him but it was all in the past-""Oh, so now you realise that there is one more aspect of time, that is known as the past."Violet replied, not stretching the conversation any longer as she didn't want to cause any kind of tension to Cassie.And that's why she dismissed Mariella completely as she turned to face Cassie, whose previous hostility had decreased to some extent, but it was clear that she was still wary of her.But she knew she coul

Mark's POV:Thank God, grandpa's arrival didn't bring another chaos, even though the manner in which Violet delivered news of his arrival to me, was as chaotic as it could possibly be. At first, I was afraid that he might be inclined to come here and stay with us because he still didn't trust Cassie completely. But I was totally wrong, and he was here just because he was worried about Cassie's safety.No matter how harmless his intentions were, his abrupt arrival and fifteen days' stay did have their own side- effects. As I have to admit, I was unable to find anything about Cassie's past during this time.However, there was one plus point as well, because I saw Mariella not trying to do anything suspicious, either.I was not sure about what had caused this sudden change and how, because I know for sure that she had no idea about any of my plans.Nor was she aware of any of the things that I had already found out.In fact, she didn't even try to go and meet Andrew during this time, b
