Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 163 : Sleep
Cassie had fallen asleep shortly after the car had left the villa. It seemed like she hadn't even realized how exhausted she had gotten by the events of the day until she found herself in the warm interior of the car. The rhythmic hum of the car engine, combined with the gentle swaying motion, had lulled her into a deep sleep. She had taken her phone out of her purse, probably to notify Mark, but her eyes had closed on their own before she could even type anything. The bodyguard in the co- passenger seat checked the rearview mirror and found that she was in a deep sleep, completely unaware of what was going on around her. Her head was tilted to the side as she leaned on the window, and hair had become a little disheveled.The bodyguard turned around and lunged from his seat to reach out towards her. He easily snatched the phone from her grasp. He inspected it carefully, before glancing at Cassie's face and remarking with a smirk,"I guess you won't be needing this any longer, wil
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -164 : Monster
Anthony knew that he had lost the battle he had spent so much time, money and dedication preparing for.But there was still one thing in his favor, commonly known as determination. It was this feeling of determination that had been present in his heart since eternity, and had grown gradually over a period of time with his desire to exact his revenge from the Rovers.And this was the reason why he was not ready to listen, or act according to the circumstances that were playing out in front of him.Instead, he decided to try his luck one more time, as he opened his mouth;"Huh! Just because you have power and a position in society, do you really think that you can buy anyone? How can we believe that Guolong is not your man, and you have not brought him along for a false testimony?Because till now, whatever statements you have presented are just based on an assumption where you have painted me to be the villain of your story, the killer of your brother… But reality and the judiciary nee
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 165 : Survival
It was the first time in Mark's entire life that the anger burning inside his heart was not ready to be calmed down, by any means.Just when he was seeing everything falling into place and it looked like everything was going to be okay, there was still something that was making him uneasy. And even for the emotional turmoil inside his heart, Anthony was the only person whom he could find at the place of the culprit.This was why, he was not ready to listen to any of his explanations, nor was he ready to let anyone talk to him.And on the other hand, Anthony thought he was getting a little closer to starting a completely new game of manipulation, seeing the old man who once used to have a soft corner for him. However, he was left to burn in the raging fire of anger, after noticing that Mark wasn't going to allow him to speak to Maxwell privately, either.Hence, he had to choose the extreme way that he really didn't want to go for– but now… now, Mark had not left any other option for
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 166 : Being late
Mark's statement was enough to make everyone shake like a single leaf left on the bare branch of an autumn tree, which was afraid of falling down with just a gust of wind.But before they could have come up with something that could be even vaguely helpful for their case, Mark spoke again;"And since you have decided to cheat my family– not only today, but you all have actually been doing this for so long. That's why, I will be setting up an investigation committee for all of you.And until the investigation gets over, not even a single one of you is allowed to use any of your powers in the company-""But Marcus, how can you doubt us? I know whatever we were about to do was wrong, but try to think from our perspective too. Then you'll realize that we really didn't have any other option.If we hadn't supported Anthony now, then we would be forced to surrender our shares for the price he would have offered to us-""Oh really, uncle Halter? I guess, you didn't have any choice when you we
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 167 : IQ
Mark's POV:I don't know what has gotten into me, as I have never been this emotional ever.But seeing Anthony trying to pull the same stunt, because of which I first lost Matteo…my brother… my best friend, it was just unbearable for me to digest.I know things would have played out differently if only I was able to keep my calm, and just hand him in to the police for the charges of fraudulence against them. That way, he would have witnessed the real charges of murder in the court itself, when it would be too late for him to play any tricks to save himself.But then again, I can't just sit back and watch him trying to harm my grandfather– or any member of my family for my matter.And in any case, what has happened is already done, and now I can't undo anything. But I am surely going to make him regret every decision of his, every action which he has taken against my family– be it big or small.Because when it comes to justice, I have always looked up to the judicial system of the cou
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 168 : Tracking
Mark's POV:With my heart throbbing in my chest, I open the tracking app, thanking my stars that I had installed a tracking device on Cassie's phone.To a certain degree, the credit for this also goes to grandpa. Yes, I was not completely enthusiastic about him coming to stay with me and Cassie– not because I didn't enjoy his company, but because I knew very well that his primary reason was not to spend time with us, but to perform a spot check on our security arrangements.But thanks to his presence, Mariella had also behaved to some extent, and while leaving, he had advised me to hire someone to follow Cassie and take care of her, every moment.Even though I did agree with his suggestion, there were two major problems. First, that I didn't trust anyone enough to be as careful about Cassie as someone from the family, nor did I believe that Mariella wouldn't be able to manipulate them as well.But secondly, I knew that Cassie wouldn't be comfortable with someone following her all da
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -169 : Face
Alex somehow understood that Violet must be behind this protest by his mom and Romera, but his attention was pulled back to the present when Natalie, his mother, spoke;"Do you understand, dummy, whatever we said about the date-"Almost out of Instinct, he blurted out,"Date? What date?""Didn't he tell you?" Romera and Natalie spoke up together. Violet finally stepped up and took the narration in her own hands,"Oh, you are two naive, you ladies! Of course Alex must know that Marcus is taking Cassie on some special surprise date, they practically share everything with each other. So if Marcus even told me, wouldn't he have told his buddy? In fact, who do you think must have helped Marcus organize everything in secret! I think this is just a clever trick by my dumb brother to go and gather some intel about how it's going on their end!"She then declared with a triumphant smile while crossing her arms,"But he forgot that his sister is much more clever than him!"Natalie fixed her so
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -170 : Gun
Although the first floor was as dimly lit as the ground floor, Mark could see her face clearly at first glance. The large hallway echoed with the distant sounds of dripping water, creating an eerie ambiance. In the center of this desolate space, Cassie remained unconscious, her wrists bound to a cold metal chair.There were a few beads of sweat on her pale face, but thankfully, her eyes were shut. Some light was pouring in from outside, casting irregular shadows that danced around the room. The faint creaking of the wooden floor announced Mark's arrival as he moved with a calculated gait. As he approached his restrained wife, his heart pounded with a mixture of fear and determination. For a moment, Mark felt his heart leap out of his chest, thinking that they might have injected her with some drugs to make her fall unconscious.But at the same time, he remembered that they needed to keep her safe and sound, at least until the hearing tomorrow. The subtle rise and fall of her chest

Ch- 197 : Whispers of wealth
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

Ch -196 : Crash course
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

Ch- 193 : Lucky stars
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
