Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 105 : Crack
Mariella was already waiting for Mark to leave the house. She knew how easy it was to manipulate Cassie when her husband was not around her.And this was the perfectly right time to remind her of the debts she owed to the Holmes family, and specifically, she herself.After all, she had raised the girl to be manipulated by herself, at every turn, every moment of her life.Otherwise, why would she raise a completely unwanted child, if not to turn her into a personal cash cow?! That's why, as soon as Mark's car left the mansion, she headed towards Cassie's room. Seeing that the door was locked, she purposefully registered three persistent knocks on it, knowing that she had never done this even once in her entire life.The whole game was to make her feel bad, insecure and insensitive at once, while showing her how she was fortunate enough to get a grandmother like her.Otherwise, an unwanted, orphaned girl like her would have been left somewhere in the cold hard world to decay like a de
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 106 : Embarrassing memories
Violet sank into the plush chair in her room, her fingers tracing the edges of the mysterious envelope that held the reality of Cassie's life, which probably, she was also unaware of.The gentle shades of the dressing room lights created a pleasant ambience, highlighting the gravity of the revelations within her grasp. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for the journey that she had to take ahead.Clutched tightly in her hands were the damning pieces of evidence— the photographs, documents, and a letter— that hinted at a truth she was reluctant to accept, even after she had gone through all of them thrice.The weight of the unknown bore down on her shoulders, and the soft glow of the lights played on her face, casting shadows that mirrored the conflict within her heart.As Violet contemplated the next steps, the door creaked open, and her co- star George entered, his eyes immediately drawn to Violet's troubled expression. "Violet, what's going on? You look like you've seen a gh

Mariella stood up from her place after she was assured that she had successfully planted the seed of misunderstanding in Cassie's mind.Even though Cassie was struggling to believe the accuracy of her words on the surface, the tiny seedling of doubt had already germinated in her brain, and was ready to grow into a healthy plant in some hours, while the tree would also grow in some days.In any case, the apple of misunderstanding would always be the most poisonous apple of the world.Thinking this, she spoke her last sentence like she was placing the last nail on the coffin. "Cassie! My sweetheart, grandma just wants you to live happily and in the luxurious manner you are habituated to, since your childhood.If not for you, I would have grown old while living under any conditions God wants me to…"With a sigh, she got up from the chair and pretended to walk towards the door."Now, I think I should leave you alone; after all, it is almost time for your breakfast, and I have already del

"Miss Cynthia, please have a seat."After offering a seat to Cynthia, Mark turned to his personal assistant, who had also accompanied them. He ordered in a soft note;"Ask for my usual coffee and something nice for dessert, along with whatever Miss Cynthia wants to eat. After that, I want complete privacy here. Got it?"Cynthia was on cloud nine, no matter how hard she was trying to believe that she was sitting in front of the CEO of the company she works for and he himself was ordering coffee and dessert for her.This scene has forced her to leave reality and walk into the fiction that her head was currently waving for her.But the voice from the waiter pulled her out as they placed an extremely expensive menu in front of her, from which half of the dishes she had never even heard of.She pointed out the most familiar and turned her attention towards Mark and for the purpose they were here for.Because if she is able to save her neck from going to jail in the case of fraud she has ne

Mariella Holmes had never expected to hear this news at this time, out of the all possible probabilities of events she had calculated.She might have accepted the existence of this child as well, just like she had accepted Cassie in her household… if only it would have been revealed, before everything had descended into the mess they were all standing in.Then, maybe, she might even have been able to spin this pregnancy to her own benefit. But the news was so shocking for her, that for a moment, she almost forgot that she was supposed to respond and started cursing the planning of time and her own destiny in her mind. And why shouldn't she? As a result of this, she might be required to put some extra effort to separate the two of them. And now, she had started to understand the one eighty degree flip in Cassie's behavior, and also from where all this confidence was coming to her.Despite her reservations, she found her gaze shifting towards Cassie as the news of her pregnancy wash
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 110 : Shocking
In the dimly lit confines of Robert's office, where shadows whispered conspiracies and ambitions held under- the- table meetings, Sylvia leaned in with an air of calculated curiosity. The scent of betrayal for their own colleague lingered in the air, as they debated and refined the intricate details of their plan.They knew very clearly that if they wanted to save their neck, they would have to drag somebody else's neck under the guillotine and they had the good look of finding two at once! Now, there was just one complication- Sylvia was not sure how Robert was going to achieve success in this plan.After her heart had been submerged through and through in the flood of uncertainty of the plan, she finally asked. "I understand that we have found someone to put the blame on, but Robert… don't you think we don't have much time for it?"Robert mused, his voice a low murmur that resonated within deceit and trickery. "Executing this plan demands precision and subtlety. So don't worry a

After Mark made sure that Cynthia would be dropped safely to her house, he handed her a perfect amount of money that would be enough to support her for at least the next one year.He then asked the driver to finally drive towards the office once again, and ordered his assistant to call the meeting right the moment they reached the office.He knew that everyone was already prepared for the audit that he had informed them about, which was going to happen in the evening.Hence, everyone was already prepared from their side in advance.Meanwhile, Robert and Sylvia's plan had reached its peak, as Cynthia was nowhere to be found, and everyone had started to believe that the rumors were telling the truth.Also the funny thing about the rumors is that they don't have legs, but they hold the potential to spread faster than a forest fire; and the same was happening today.By the time Mark reached the office, almost half of the staff had already believed that Cynthia and Andrew were involved in

After Mariella paused, brewing in her impatience, Margaret turned around to make a call to Mark in order to confirm her departure and attend to her duties.However, Mariella seized the opportunity to step outside, her heart pounding with the thrill of a narrowly averted exposure.Once beyond the confines of the mansion, Mariella found herself relaxing in the tranquility of the garden. The lawns stretched out before her, adorned with vibrant flowers that seemed to whisper secrets of their own. She strolled along the cobblestone paths, her mind a whirlwind of contemplation.The voice recorder nestled in her purse as she had paused the recording the moment Maragret turned around. This recording was the proof that would make her case strong in front of Cassie; hence, it needed to be preserved as the evidence that might one day serve as her insurance as well. The thought of having tangible proof of the conversations within the Rover mansion, fueled her determination to see her plan reac

As soon as Romera announced this, the illusion of serenity Matthew and Maxwell had carefully maintained, shattered within seconds. Suddenly, the air thickened with a sense of urgency as the so- called experienced and level headed, patriarchs, who had initially dismissed the commotion as typical chaos, were now confronted with the reality that the moment they had anticipated had arrived.Matthew's composed expression faltered as he stepped forward. "Hospital? Right now?" He exclaimed, his voice betraying a hint of anxiety.Maxwell, echoing his son's newfound apprehension, quickly abandoned the cloak of nonchalance. "Well, what are you waiting for! Marcus, hurry up! Just get the car ready. We can't keep her waiting, Cassie is in labor!"In the blink of an eye, they found themselves swept up in the same sense of urgency that had gripped Mark, Alex, and Violet moments earlier."Someone!

While Alex was teasing her relentlessly Mark declared, "Don't pay attention to him, Vi! Currently, you are my favorite because you are actually getting on the plan of finding a boyfriend, unlike your brother! He keeps ignoring my advice to find someone…"In response, Violet stuck out her tongue at Alex, who asked;"Are you seriously talking about getting her married? When she is still five?"Before Violet could reply, there was a knock on the door as a staff member entered."Young Masters, Young Miss, everyone is waiting for you downstairs.""Oh yes! I forgot to tell you that Cassie is already downstairs, so you are missing out on the photoshoot!"Half an hour later, the photoshoot had been wrapped up, and everyone was sitting at the dinner table, which was alive with laughter and chit chat.Mark had checked in with Cassie many times that night, to ask if she was tired and needed rest, but she had declined every single time, saying that she was having too much fun. Finally, as midni

Violet happily clapped her hands with delight on getting Cassie's validation, and it seemed like something suddenly clicked in her mind."Oh! I almost forgot! I didn't come inside only to claim my credit, but also because I have to get to to the room to change.""Change? But… haven't we already cut the cake?"Cassie asked in confusion, wondering exactly how big of a party they had planned in just one afternoon.Violet smiled mysteriously,"Well… technically, I'm not supposed to spill…"Cassie gave her a teasing smirk before replying,"Hm… I could just tell the babies that uncle Alex did all the hard work for the nursery…""No no no!" Violet immediately piped up, "I'll tell you everything, just don't give him the credit!"Alex and Mark burst out into laughter, as he remarked;"Very well done, Cass! I think you are finally getting the hang of how to tackle our little brat!"Violet glared at them as she said,"Just come with me and I'll show you the dress I've arranged for you. It's a be

Ch-194 : Surprise party
The moment Cassie, Mark, and Romera entered the Rover Mansion, they were greeted by an enthusiastic group consisting of Violet, Alex, Matthew, Maxwell, and Alex's parents, Evelyn and Noah. "Surprise!" Smiles and excitement lit up their faces as they announced, and Cassie couldn't help but wonder about the unexpected welcome.Violet, with her trademark mischievous grin, stepped forward and said, "Well, Cassie, while you were relaxing at the spa, we've been busy planning a small party for you!"Cassie's eyes widened with curiosity and anticipation. She exchanged puzzled glances with Mark, who wore a playful smile, clearly in on the secret. "Party? But didn't we already have a shower?"Alex's mother, Evelyn, stepped forward now."Of course, dear. But with the hospital scare and everything else, we thought, why shouldn't we hold a small get together to celebrate your wonderful pregnancy?"Cassie's eyes were moist as she said,"Really? I am so happy that you all took out time from your

But before Romera could have said something or could have inquired about what was happening in reality, the man who had just arrived there a few minutes ago, recognised her.After spotting someone from the Rover family, it made him feel like he had taken the best decision of his life by arriving there.Because there was no way that he would end up in a spa, just because his wife was having trouble with some delivery boy.Even if she was suspicious of him stealing the phone from Marcus Rover… it was not connecting any dots or making any sense to him for him to rush towards her on one call for no benefit for his own self.However, it seemed like his lucky stars had showered their blessings on him today! Because after seeing Lady Romera Rover there, he quickly jumped to the conclusion that his wife had been speaking the truth all this time, and the man standing a few meters away from him, with his back on his side was indeed the thief who had taken the opportunity to steal the phone fro

Ch -192 : Offense
Natalie recoiled in horror after seeing that she was not able to hit Cassie, and that Mark had dared to hold her hand with his dirty hands which he used to clean the dirty plates of people after they finished eating… She felt disgusted and humiliated at the same time. The flame of anger started to boil her blood, as there was no way she was going to lose this low class poor peasant, not in her entire lifetime! She could not just take it simply, thinking that, she jerked her hand out of his grip and raised it again, to hit Mark this time.But before she could have done that, Mark anticipated her move and grabbed her hand just as it came close to his face. This time, she became even more frantic. The humiliation was killing her from the inside, it was the first time someone as low as a waiter had the audacity to disrespect her repeatedly, and without even a hint of remorse. The people who had to do lowly jobs like this were nothing more than the worms of gutter in her eyes, whom she

"If I am not going to shut up, then tell me, what are you going to do ? Because trust me, I will not shut up about the wrong act you two are doing.I will not sit back and turn a blind eye to it, and I will not rest until I have brought you to justice. Now, tell me what are you gonna do about it?"Natalie retorted like a wounded snake, who had tried its best to show that it was there as a true friend. But when people had not accepted its lies and had started to protect themselves, then it had started to react by hissing and threatening to bite. She knew that at the point where she was standing, everybody there worshiped money. And right now she was the one who had plenty of it, but then also, she was the one who had been humiliated by the person whom she wouldn't even consider worthy of keeping as a house help.This was why her voice was more harsh and piercing shrill, making them realize how a person from low class society should live, and how they were being treated by the people

Ch - 190 : Low class
While Natalie was screaming like a banshee at the top of her lungs, her husband was listening very carefully to everything that was going on at the other side of the call.At first, he had just told her that he was willing to do whatever she wanted him to do– from introducing her friend to the single people in his circles, to getting the person a job and a good tip if he knelt down and apologized to his wife for whatever he had done to offend her.But the moment he heard his wife talking about the most expensive phone in the world, he knew right away that it was the same phone his wife had been asking him to buy and he wasn't even able to get a slot in the guest list.He knew that only a limited number of those phones had been sold, and this model was under the ownership of only three people in the whole world. So if the doubt in his wife's mind was true, then there was a high chance that he could really get the opportunity to meet the Rover family in person.Till now, he had just se

The words that echoed from the phone speaker made everyone turn their head towards Natalie. She was getting happier and happier with each passing minute, and the pride on her face was clear.Till this point, she was just saying everything boldly without having any assurance to back up her claims.Whether everything she had said was going to come true in reality or not… this was a doubt in her own mind.But she didn't want to show it in front of them, as all she wanted from Mark was an apology for the humiliation he had caused.However, her husband's words had made her more confident, and she knew that now she would be able to do anything she wanted because her husband was going to support her.So before anyone could have got any chance to reply to the person over the call, she spoke up. "Aww! Cassie ! Look, this is how a real man should act and how they act in real life! This is my darling husband on the call, and look how he is ready to do anything and bring me everything that I wi
