These words from Mark were the last thread that had unraveled Anthony's patience, and also the reason for the complete outlash from him.Already, he was trying to tackle his fear that Tim Guolong might already have blurted everything out in front of him, but there was no time to think about that right now.Right now, the most important thing which his attention should be on, was to figure out who had the remaining fifty percent of the shares… because this was the reason he had killed Matteo in the first place.He was aware of the fact that if someone from the Rover family died without transferring their shares to anyone, then after a period of five years, the shares would automatically go to the person who held the majority of the shares at the moment.Otherwise, they would simply go to a trust, and the company would run with the existing shares on the surface.And in both these cases, he didn't have to bother about anything.So, he spoke looking back at Mark;"Oh, really! I don't kno

Anthony knew that he had lost the battle he had spent so much time, money and dedication preparing for.But there was still one thing in his favor, commonly known as determination. It was this feeling of determination that had been present in his heart since eternity, and had grown gradually over a period of time with his desire to exact his revenge from the Rovers.And this was the reason why he was not ready to listen, or act according to the circumstances that were playing out in front of him.Instead, he decided to try his luck one more time, as he opened his mouth;"Huh! Just because you have power and a position in society, do you really think that you can buy anyone? How can we believe that Guolong is not your man, and you have not brought him along for a false testimony?Because till now, whatever statements you have presented are just based on an assumption where you have painted me to be the villain of your story, the killer of your brother… But reality and the judiciary nee

Mark's statement was enough to make everyone shake like a single leaf left on the bare branch of an autumn tree, which was afraid of falling down with just a gust of wind.But before they could have come up with something that could be even vaguely helpful for their case, Mark spoke again;"And since you have decided to cheat my family– not only today, but you all have actually been doing this for so long. That's why, I will be setting up an investigation committee for all of you.And until the investigation gets over, not even a single one of you is allowed to use any of your powers in the company-""But Marcus, how can you doubt us? I know whatever we were about to do was wrong, but try to think from our perspective too. Then you'll realize that we really didn't have any other option.If we hadn't supported Anthony now, then we would be forced to surrender our shares for the price he would have offered to us-""Oh really, uncle Halter? I guess, you didn't have any choice when you we

Mark's POV:With my heart throbbing in my chest, I open the tracking app, thanking my stars that I had installed a tracking device on Cassie's phone.To a certain degree, the credit for this also goes to grandpa. Yes, I was not completely enthusiastic about him coming to stay with me and Cassie– not because I didn't enjoy his company, but because I knew very well that his primary reason was not to spend time with us, but to perform a spot check on our security arrangements.But thanks to his presence, Mariella had also behaved to some extent, and while leaving, he had advised me to hire someone to follow Cassie and take care of her, every moment.Even though I did agree with his suggestion, there were two major problems. First, that I didn't trust anyone enough to be as careful about Cassie as someone from the family, nor did I believe that Mariella wouldn't be able to manipulate them as well.But secondly, I knew that Cassie wouldn't be comfortable with someone following her all da

Although the first floor was as dimly lit as the ground floor, Mark could see her face clearly at first glance. The large hallway echoed with the distant sounds of dripping water, creating an eerie ambiance. In the center of this desolate space, Cassie remained unconscious, her wrists bound to a cold metal chair.There were a few beads of sweat on her pale face, but thankfully, her eyes were shut. Some light was pouring in from outside, casting irregular shadows that danced around the room. The faint creaking of the wooden floor announced Mark's arrival as he moved with a calculated gait. As he approached his restrained wife, his heart pounded with a mixture of fear and determination. For a moment, Mark felt his heart leap out of his chest, thinking that they might have injected her with some drugs to make her fall unconscious.But at the same time, he remembered that they needed to keep her safe and sound, at least until the hearing tomorrow. The subtle rise and fall of her chest
