Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 143 : Messages
Alex was in a meeting, when his phone began to buzz. He ignored the incoming notification, and decided to focus on the strategy discussion and briefing meeting scheduled for the early morning instead. After fifteen minutes, he was finally alone in his office and picked up his phone to scroll through the recent notifications, when one message caught his eye. It was sent from an unknown number, and read;"There are a number of conspiracies going on at the Rover Corporation, in the dark underbelly. Marcus Rover is also in the way of harm, just come to this address if you wish to know more. Respond soon, you don't have much time."In the next message, there was a set of numbers, and Alex immediately assumed that it must be the coordinates of the place mentioned in the message.His panic levels immediately shot high enough to reach the sky, and the phone almost slipped from his hands.He tried Mark's number first of all, but it got disconnected at first. On trying again, he just received

The moment Mark accepted that he wasn't going to go back on his words the girl spoke up."Great! Then I guess there is no harm in helping you, here you go."Mark felt a file be placed beside his right hand, and he reached out in the dark and grabbed it before it could fall down.But then, another thought appeared in his mind. How could the girl just trust him on his words alone, without any contractual obligations in place? He asked, getting more curious about the situation than he had initially been. "But how do you trust me? I mean, you haven't even asked me to sign any type of contract or anything -"He hadn't even finished his sentence when the same sound of laughter echoed in the cottage once again."Hahaha! Now I think I should be afraid of your forgetfulness, Mr. Rover. Because as far as I remember, just few minutes ago, you had accepted that you are a man of your word and won't be backing off from that-"Mark frowned. "Yes! I had indeed accepted that, but how am I going to

Mark left, leaving the breakfast table in a tense silence. Cassie sat back down dejectedly, upset at the fact that she didn't even get to say goodbye to him, let alone apologize for confronting him so aggressively. She turned towards Mariella, who was calmly and elegantly buttering her toast, like nothing had happened at all."Grandma, why did you do it?"Mariella dropped the butter knife in her hand with a shocked and heartbroken expression, as she faced Cassie and began to question her instead;"Sweetheart, didn't we talk about it? About how you needed to be more aware of what was going on at our- or rather, your office. Then what have I said to upset you so much?"Cassie was exasperated at the condescending tone Mariella had chosen, but she raised her question again."We did talk about it, and I know why it is important for me to visit the office myself. But why did you go about it in this way, when I had told you that I will talk to him on my own-""And where has that gotten you

Mark's POV:I was sifting through the contents of the folder, which had initially seemed quite light but ended up revealing quite weighty information.So Mariella Holmes is indeed responsible for the death of Cassie's mother.According to what Nelson had told me, the car Neil's dad was driving on the day of his death was also Eleanor's- so she was the primary target.But Mariella ended up killing her own son, in the attempt to get rid of his new wife. And yet, it did not stop her evil plans. She did not hesitate, even after killing her son with her own hands, before tampering with the brakes of Eleanor's car once again. Although I had suspected foul play behind her accident, I knew it was still better for me to have proof in hand.But what kind of a human was she, that she didn't feel an ounce of remorse after her son got caught up in the crossfire and lost his life? And if that old lady did not get deterred from her plans even after paying such a huge casualty, then is there any l

Cassie glanced towards her phone, to find that it was Violet calling her.She decided to let the phone ring for now; she could always call her back later, but she could not let this get out of hand. But the moment she turned towards her grandmother after putting her phone on silent, she saw Mariella trying to stand from the table."Cassie, sweetheart, I think I should go back to my room and rest for a bit, I'm suddenly not feeling too well."For a moment, Cassie was appalled at her audacity, and took some time to react.By this time, Mariella Holmes had already turned around, ready to go to her room after successfully dodging the question.But Cassie was determined, and she rushed forward to block her path.Standing in front of Mariella with her hands outstretched, she exclaimed,"No Grandma! You can't go anywhere without answering my questions.""What did you say?!"Mariella asked, finding it difficult to rein in her temper now. Cassie repeated herself calmly, even though she felt

Connor was walking to and fro in his room, seeing the legal notice kept on the table.He knew this day would come… but this soon, he hadn't assumed that! He didn't know what he was supposed to do now.He remembered how Nina had given him one task, and he had failed miserably in fulfilling that task, too.But it wasn't his fault after all, he had to deliver the package within twenty minutes; and that too, on a third class bike. On top of that, the traffic of this city had been going crazy day by day.Even before they set out, he had realized that he wasn't going to make it on time, but he had tried regardless… and when he finally reached there, he found out that he was extremely late.Not only had Nina refused to pay him, but he had also been humiliated by the person he was supposed to deliver the stuff to.Now, he was slowly starting to realize how tough it might have been for Mark to live his life as a delivery boy.But this realization was of no use, because no matter what kind of
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 149 : Are you okay?
Nina was standing behind Anthony, listening clearly to every word.Wearing a deep maroon bodycon dress, she lounged in the back, holding a glass goblet with red wine in it.The outfit hugged her curves perfectly, and the deep v- neckline left very little to the imagination.The dress ended just above her knees, revealing her tantalizingly long legs.All in all, she looked like a complete vision, but the only man who had access to her had his entire attention focused on a phone call.But as soon as he disconnected the call, Anthony turned around and his gaze fell on her.Maintaining a slightly indifferent expression, she asked;"So, you're not going to help Connor out?""Darling, aren't you taking a little too much interest in business matters?"Nina coyly answered, blinking her eyelashes;"No, I was just asking because I think that poor soul could really benefit from our help, and he is also desperate enough to go to any lengths for it.""And I think I have told you already, that I ha

"Not okay? Why? What happened to you?"Mark asked in panic once again as he stepped towards Cassie, holding her by her shoulders. He proceeded to examine her thoroughly from head to toe, keeping her absolutely still. Meanwhile, his hands were gripping the sides of her waist gently, as if he was examining the wings of a butterfly, while at the same time with so much intensity in his eyes as if she might flutter away at any moment. Cassie was too stunned to react, let alone say anything to him or even move, but this was when Violet laughed out loud, saying;"Of course, you idiot! How do you think that a woman can be okay, if her husband suddenly storms into their own house like an enraged bull, and starts assaulting the person who has just saved her?Don't you think she might be considering dying out of shame-""Violet!"Mark raised his voice to shut Violet out, and tried to ask once again."Cass! Honey, you sure you okay? Mariella didn't hurt you by any means -""Yes! I am absolutely

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?

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
