"Proof…! And you? You can't have any proof! There isn't any… you can't have any proof, because there isn't any proof against me."

Mariella lashed out once again, revealing her evil smirk.

With time, as her smile faded, the fear became completely evident on her face; as there were not just shades of deep gray that were lurking on her forehead.

Rather, the signs of her getting panicked with every passing second were also marking their presence on her face.

Till this point, she had been speaking everything freely and narrating the entire story with this confidence, because she knew that there was nothing that could prove the felony committed by her in the past.

So, what was the harm in telling them the truth and letting some weight off her chest?

This is why, even if she would tell all the truth to Cassie, even then, there was nothing that could go wrong for her.

After all, the court would not accept their statement without any evidence or unless she repeated this very same story in fr

    Mark smiled after looking at Cassie, as he really was not ready for this reply from her side. But now that he had really got the green flag from her, all he had to do was to go and make the required arrangements and announce the changes.This was when Cassie spoke again;"Mark, do you mind if I join you there? I want to support you …but if you don't want me to do that, then also I can understand everything -""Shut up! What are you thinking silly! Just get ready, as we might have to hurry."Mark interrupted her and she smiled while adding. "Just give me five minutes." After a total of ten minutes, they were on their way to the company's headquarters. The afternoon sunlight was touching the city at its peak, when Mark held Cassie's hand in his own. It took almost a total of fifteen minutes of driving for them to reach the office for both of them and as they stepped into the hushed corridors, preparing to confront those who had orchestrated this grand deception.The atmosphere in t

    Cynthia's words made Robert little calm, as he asked;"What do you mean by you are joining us again…I mean where have you been …like you just disappear out of nowhere-""Ohh that, actually I got an offer from a really company in my hometown, so I had already moved there, it's just that I got a notice to submit all the reports of my past quarters on an urgent basis, so I have to return.In any case I am not here for so long-""Oh, that's so nice to hear."Sylvia jumped in the conversation as she was finally able to get the sigh of relief, but then only she realized that he statement might have sounded little wrong and she quickly mended it;"It's nice to hear that you are here today, after all you didn't even give us a chance to say farewell and bid goodbye.""It's okay Sylvia, probably you will get that chance today.. but right now we should leave for conference room or else we are going to be late.""Yes, you are right."Robert spoke as she took two steps forward in confidence that n

    The mouths of everyone who was speaking in their favor after being swayed by Robert's words, had been shut successfully."And here are the statements from both Mr Caldwell and Miss Hayes' offshore accounts."Of course, Mr Holmes is already serving his time in prison, so his account statements could not be obtained, but I'm sure the doubts in your hearts must have been quelled by now. Please go through the files in front of you to witness a more systematic breakdown of their embezzling schemes, and let me know if you have any questions."Sylvia was almost at the verge of fainting and Robert suddenly started to yell loudly;"Mr Rover, please! Please give me one chance to prove my loyalty to you! I will be returning the entire sum I had taken. I was aware of how corrupt the previous management was, and that's why I also wanted to get some benefits, but I know you are completely honest, and I will never dare to miscalculate a single penny. Please… I'm really sorry-""As far as your loya

    By now, Maxwell's horror at Anthony's sudden reappearance had abated to some extent, and instead was replaced by indignance."What kind of revenge are you speaking of? I helped you out of my goodwill, when you had no other options -""And left me to die once again!" "Watch your tone!" Matthew interjected, as he asked;"And what the hell is that supposed to mean, my father has always tried his best to support you in any way possible.He even forgave your debt when your company went bankrupt, even though his investment sank along with it. He has always wished his best-""And what the hell am I going to do with your good wishes? Sell them for a few pennies! Don't you dare talk to me like your family did me a huge favour, when all you did was abandon me in the hour of need."Anthony clenched his teeth and continued;"Since then, I have been dreaming of having the same power over you as you did over me, dreaming of the day when you will beg me the same way I begged you.And oh!

    Four imposing bodyguards clad in sleek black attire stood in a disciplined formation outside Mark's villa in Clovelly.Their unwavering gazes were scanning the surroundings with the precision of a hawk. Each of the men exuded an air of silent strength, with their well-built frames and their formidable capabilities. Dark sunglasses shielded their eyes, veiling the intensity that lurked beneath. They were wearing tailored black suist, and earpieces they wore sparked a sense of seamless communication, creating an invisible shield around their charge. As guardians of security, they remained vigilant, prepared for any potential threat and along with that, three bulletproof cars adorned the entrance of the building. These vehicles stood as silent sentinels, as the tinted windows could conceal the occupants within, adding an aura of mystery to their presence.As they remained stoic and poised, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice, ensuring that safety prevailed in the shado

    The harsh clang of iron bars echoed through the dimly lit corridor as Mariella, in a bright orange prison uniform, was escorted to her designated cell. She had been brought straight to a high- security prison cell due to her direct confession that had been recorded by Violet. Even though her living conditions had deteriorated overnight, Mariella maintained her silence.No matter how shameless she was in the privacy of her home, she had a reputation to maintain in the outside world- at least until the news of her black deeds was leaked. As she walked past the cells, Moira and Andrew, who were in adjacent cells, caught sight of Mariella. They were completely shocked at first, as they rushed to the gates of their cells; and their shock turned into disbelief as they exchanged puzzled glances. Moira's eyes widened as she muttered to Andrew;"Is that... Grandma? In a prison uniform?"Andrew nodded in confirmation with a sadistic smirk on his face;"I swear to hell and back, it is defini

    Anthony could never possibly be prepared for the fact that Mark will ever be able to make it to the meeting.After all, his entire plan for exposing Mariella was just because he wanted to keep Marcus busy with the problems related to his in-laws and his wife.After all, all he wanted was to keep him as distant from the family business as he could, and that's why he had asked Nina to send Connor to deliver those papers to Mark's office.He had also done so, according to Nina, because she was the one who was in direct contact with Connor.Then how was it possible, that he was present there after leaving his only wife alone with her grandmother, after she was still trying to hurt her because of his grandson?He knew it has already cost him a fortune to extract the exact part of their conversation where she was confessing about the fact that she woild never step back from her attempts to create a misunderstanding between the married couple.Also he has made sure to make two more copies a

    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!

    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.

    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!

"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

    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

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
