Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 134 : Phone call
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

The slap was loud enough to drag the attention of everyone already standing there, along with the passers-by.It was really so strong that for a few moments, Dan was unable to understand what had just happened to him.As far as he remembered, just some moments ago, he had been standing there and roasting the person who had always been a measly delivery boy in front of him, and yet had the guts to claim that he was there to meet his president.But the next moment, he realized that it was no one other than his own president who had deposited the tight slap on his face- but why?The thought finally appeared in his mind, and he tried to open his mouth to ask the same thing. But before he could have done that, the president spoke up. "You idiot! What do you think you were doing just now?"It is really true that sometimes people themselves dig their own grave, and somehow, Dan was ready to do the same.Because the moment the president asked him about what was going on and what he was doing

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

"I don't think you have misunderstood who I am, or confused me with someone else… or I should say, you haven't misunderstood anything at all- I am Cassendra Holmes's husband."Mark spoke in a clear tone, pausing for a moment and then continuing without any hesitation."But anyways, just get up and leave my legs."Saying this, he bent to help Dan get up, offering his hand. Anyway, he was not in the mood to entertain him even for a second now.And as expected, Dan stood up within a few seconds, but now he had become even more confused with Mark's words.As the words settled in, he spoke up, broadcasting the stream of his thoughts live."You… you are lying, aren't you? It can't be possible that Mr. Rover and that delivery boy are one and the same person! You can't be Miss Cassandra's husband! I… I myself have read many things about the Rover empire, and why would-""Just cut to the chase! I am not here to explain to you why and how I am here, nor am I here to narrate the entire story to
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 138 : Grandpa
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: Nolan was saying that there might be no one who can tell me about Cassie's past; but to me, it sounded an awful lot like saying that there is nothing I can do to help Cassie.This was when he spoke again. "But there is something… or say, someone who might know many things about this. Nyla… probably Nyla is her name.She used to be Mariella Holmes' assistant not too long ago, but the girl was really clever. She has dug out a lot of information that was very crucial for Mariella.And probably started blackmailing her with it… but no one knows where she is today-""What do you mean that no one knows where she is!?"I heard my voice interrupting Nolan's words in the middle, as I was getting impatient."Because she left the city six years ago… as there were many charges on her-""So you're telling me that the only person who knows anything about my wife's childhood is an absconded criminal?""No, she isn't a criminal, in fact she was the victim."Nolan interrupted my sentence
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 140 : Questions
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
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -141 : Nyla
Cassie's words had shaken Mark from the core.He had expected many things in his life, but Cassie believing that he was cheating her, was never on the list. Especially after they had got things on track after so much pain and effort on both sides. He could never have imagined that she would fall for Mariella's trap once again, as he knew that she was aware about what had happened during the abortion incident.But he needed to calm her down right now, because no matter what she was doing and how, he knew that she was not in the state to handle any stress.And this situation would definitely cause a lot of stress to her.Hence, without going into the details of what Mariella was trying to do right now and what she had done in the past, he decided to turn the topic in a completely different direction.At this moment, it would be better if he just gave the answer to Cassie's questions.Thinking this, he cleared his throat and spoke up."I never thought that you would ever doubt me for ch

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

Ch -189 : Thief
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
