Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 126 : Midnight knocks
On the four- poster bed in Mark's room, he and Cassie lay fast asleep in each other's peaceful embrace, while the room was dimly lit in the soft glow of the moonlight that was pouring in from the open window, along with a chilly breeze. The night had settled in, and the Rover estate was covered with a blanket of tranquility. Meanwhile, the couple was completely dead to the world as the events of the day, filled with melodrama, celebration and revelry, had finally taken their toll.Close to midnight, the silence of the bedroom was shattered by a series of loud, banging noises. The resounding knocks on the door were sharp and insistent, causing Mark and Cassie to be startled awake. Cassie stirred first, her eyes flickering open, and Mark followed suit as he lifted his arm and flicked on the bedside lamp to confirm the source of the sound. The knocks persisted, echoing through the room, and Mark, who was still groggy but slowly coming back to his senses, untangled himself from the she
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 127 : Loyal dog
Anthony, engrossed in slicing his steak into perfect squares, spared no glance for the newcomer, who stood near the door. Summoning his courage, Connor began to explain his situation. "Anthony, I am actually in a tight spot and need some financial help to-"Before Connor could finish his sentence, Anthony interrupted him with a dismissive wave of his hand without even lifting his gaze to look at his face. He casually reached into the pocket of his robe, pulled out a wad of cash, and tossed it in Connor's direction. The bills fluttered through the air, landing at Connor's feet."And remember, I don't always spend money on all my dogs if they won't remain loyal to me," Anthony remarked coldly, dismissing him without wasting a single moment. "You can leave now."Connor was left with no choice but to gather the money at his feet silently. The dismissive tone and Anthony's uninterested demeanor had humiliated him deeply, but for the first time in his life, he was in a position where h
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -128 : Goodbyes
Early the next morning, a flurry of activity enveloped the Rover Mansion as Mark and Cassie prepared to leave. The stone pathway stretched out before them, flanked on both sides by manicured lawns and towering trees. Lady Romera stood at the forefront, a mix of sadness and concern etched on her face, and Matthew by her side.Maxwell, the patriarch of the Rover family, stood a little distance away, observing the unfolding scene with his hands folded behind his back. Alex had decided to join Maxwell to not interrupt their departure, as their own conversation continued in hushed tones. While everyone was still waiting, Mariella Holmes marched out of the mansion without looking right or left. She slipped into the second car without so much as a glance from the others.Romera, her eyes reflecting a mother's concern, turned to Cassie. "You know, dear, it's not too late to change your mind. It would be so nice for you to stay a little longer even if Marcus wants to leave on his own."Cas
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -129 : Our house
Mariella waited for a few minutes outside the room, seeing that after Mark left, Cassie had gone to the washroom for a shower.She was well acquainted with Cassie's habit of taking two showers a day, and also knew that the first one always was the shorter one, which she took just to refresh herself in the morning.Hence, she was not going to take more than ten minutes.So, she entered the room without any hesitation and made herself quite comfortable on the couch, knowing exactly which cards she was going to throw in front of Cassie the moment she stepped out of the bathroom.And exactly ten minutes later, Cassie stepped out, wrapping her hair with a towel, only to find Mariella standing by the door.But what she didn't know, was that her grandmother had just reached the door, after hearing the bathroom lock being unlatched.She seemed a little surprised to see that she had come out at last, and asked, "Cassie, can I come in dear?""Grandma! Please come in! How many times do I need t
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch-130 : Portion
Mark was standing by his car waiting for someone, when a car suddenly pulled over, passing dangerously close to him. And within a minute, Alex stepped out of the car."Why do you never get afraid of this stunt of mine?""Because you always pull these lame stunts, and especially at the time when I am already bothered to the point of death-""Oh, for that, I have found something that can tamp down your anxiety… maybe to some extent?"Alex finally spoke, pulling out an envelope from the inside pocket of his jacket."So your doubt about Mariella hiding something very big, was a hundred and ten percent right.Because you were right about the fact that Cassie is younger than Andrew and in any case, if Cassie's real mother had died, then Andrew should be the one who should consider Cassie's mother as his own, not the other way around. But…"Alex paused after blurting out half of the things that he had found, and stopped his monologue at a very vague point, from where anyone could end up at

Mariella had set the stage for her final performance. And so, after stopping the recording, she again managed to bring two drops of tears to her eyes, as she opened her mouth and looked at Cassie with a pleading look in her eyes. "Now you believe me, right? I know the recording was cut short because my recorder was out of charge, but let me tell you what she replied to me after that."Just as she was about to continue her story, they both heard a knock on the door and a sweet voice followed by the soft click of the door. "Oh! Hi old lady, I didn't expect to see you here at this time, I thought you would have been planning your escape once again. Anyways, don't you think you are at the age where you should include all the younger ones in your stories? So let me join you two as well."__________Violet had rushed to Mark's mansion, the moment she got a call from Alex, saying that Cassie was alone at the house.After seeing the evidence with her own eyes and knowing that there was so
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 132 : Real identity
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
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 133 : Dirty tricks
Mariella knew that now, she had no chance to save herself from getting caught in her own web of lies… but at the same time, she couldn't just leave things in such a mess and flee, without even trying, right?After all, even if she had to lose, then she would be losing after giving it her best shot. And no one could make her- Lady Mariella Holmes- leave the battlefield before she had inflicted the damage that would haunt Mark and Cassie for their entire life, at the very least.

It was just that… if Cassie's mother had not been so stubborn and had not insisted on searching for the evidence of Neil being innocent, then they would never have been united… and none of this would be going on at this

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! Call the drivers quickly! And please inform the hospital, so they can keep everything ready for our

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
