Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch : 173 : Salvation
Anthony gritted his teeth after hearing these words; he really wanted to give a scathing reply, but considering where he was standing, he knew he had already lost all his chances.And above all that, there was a fair chance that he might be recording their entire interaction.Anthony had already considered the possibility that Marcus didn't have much evidence against him in the first place, and was trying to get him to say something that would get him in trouble. Desperately!So in his mind, it would be best to just keep quiet, as he was wise enough to not give away any clues in his hand right now.But before he could have planned his actions completely, Mark started to laughter loudly and spoke up;"Oh no… no… no…! Don't tell me that you are so quiet because you think that I'm here because I want to get something from your mouth… Or say, to gather some more proof against you?"He paused for a moment before he started again;Because let me tell you, if you think that, then I have to

"There is absolutely no way that you could ever get your hands on Nina, she is completely unapproachable -""I think this is the only place where I have to agree with you, she is indeed quite unapproachable until she herself wants to be in the frame."Mark interrupted Anthony once again, while enjoying the interaction thoroughly. He could see that the burden of the unsolved and ongoing mystery behind him getting caught was making him more and more anxious with each passing second now."Then how the hell did you come near her-"He yelled again, completely losing the last shred of patience he had ever held."Ohh dear! I never thought you would be this forgetful. I mean, I know that you are old, but still! My grandpa has a much sharper memory than you, but nevermind.Let me repeat myself, and this time in little more detail. As I told you earlier, I am not the one who has found her, but she.So let me tell you once again, and our story begins with the fact that you thought that I am de
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 175 : Crash
Everything was going to get in its rightful place after today.This thought was making Mark relax, when he finally noticed Anthony entering the trial room.Everything was running according to his plan, as the moment Anthony come at his place, the judge ordered;"Start the proceedings! Mr. Anthony Sinclair, you are here on the charges of Murder of Mr. Matteo Rover, the kidnapping of Mrs. Cassandra Rover, an attempt to kill Mr. Maxwell Rover, trying to spike their drinks, financial fraud and manipulating evidence, along with trying to bribe the doctors and changing the medical reports.Your defendant can now bring evidence in your support."The defendant lawyer was about to stand up and speak, but before he could have done anything, Anthony's voice rang in the background."I am sorry to interrupt, Your Honor! But I have to say something.""But Mr. Sinclair, you do know that anything you may speak directly might go against you and be used as evidence, hence I would suggest that you shoul
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -176: Life sentence
Both of Mark's hands clenched into tight fist by his side, after hearing Anthony's last statement.Until now, he had a strong doubt that Anthony had planned Matteo's murder all along, because of what had happened in the past. But at the same time, knowing this completely new story was making him even angrier.How stupid was he to have uncovered the reality behind the real identity of Anthony; and yet, not knowing that because Tony and Anthony were two different people and Tony had never met Matteo, he had no direct motivation to kill him.And as the anger started to grow in his heart, his mind dragged him back through the series of flashbacks as he remembered the day that he had found the truth behind Mariella's darkest secrets, after he had followed the directions to a deserted cottage. He had a suspicion that the girl who was talking to him was actually Nyla, but the girl has a different name according to the information he had been able to gather. Still, he wasn't ready to let ev
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 177 : Hospital
Mark ran up the aisle just as Anthony was being escorted away, and the officers stopped for a moment on seeing him approach.Knowing that he didn't have much time, he directly spat out;"Why! Why did you say all this? Do you think you'll be able to win over someone's sympathy of lessen your guilt if you did this-"Anthony had a smile that seemed to be mocking himself, as he finally spoke in a slightly hoarse voice;"I did it because every story has just one hero, and one villain. And in the end, the villain must admit to his faults and face punishment.And no matter how righteous and justified I am in my version of events, I will always remain the villain in yours. So I have decided to face the music and spend the rest of my life in a way where my soul might be absolved of my crimes, at least after I die."Mark was silent for a moment, before the expression in Anthony's eyes changed. He spoke softly, leaving his usually arrogant demeanor aside;"Nina… she is innocent. She might be awa
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 178 : Guilt
While Mark carried her to the car, the usually lively atmosphere of the Willowbrook Estate was also replaced by a sense of tense urgency.Although Matthew Rover asked the contractors to keep the preparations going, it was clear that Romera had already started to get anxious. The journey to the hospital, although objectively short on normal days, seemed more panic inducing than ever before.Mark had somehow managed to calm her down while instructing the driver to rush as soon as possible; and right now, he and Cassie were in a private ward, waiting for the doctors to arrive.The hospital staff had conducted extensive tests and check-ups, and after consulting his team, the head doctor gave some news that reassured them while also raising concerns."Everything appears to be fine with the babies, Mr. Rover. It is normal to have some false contractions from time to time, although they may feel quite real."Cassie asked, frowning;"So, it doesn't mean something is wrong?""No, Mrs. Rover.
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -179 : Baby shower
As Mark and Cassie returned to the Willowbrook Estate, the atmosphere was thick with anticipation.The guests, who had gathered for Cassie's belated baby shower, were waiting for their arrival with tense expressions.The moment they stepped into the main hall, Romera came running towards them and asked,"What happened? Is everything alright? What did they say?"Mark volunteered;"It was just a false alarm, Mom. Cassie and the babies are perfectly fine."Mark said in a reassuring tone as he tried to ease Romera's concerns, choosing to hide the concerning news for later, when they were alone. Romera was visibly relieved, but couldn't completely shake off the worry. "You rushed out so urgently that we were all so concerned. That's it, I'm asking for a team of nurses to stay in the annexed cottage so that poor Cassie doesn't have to go all the way to the hospital in case anything like this happens again.""Okay, mom, whatever puts you at ease. But really, I'm feeling much better now."C

The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow in the bedroom, even though the drapes on the bed were drawn. The light stung Cassie's eyes, and she was faintly aware of some rustling sounds in the room.But since they had gone to bed well past midnight, she tossed and turned, trying to go back to sleep and did not get out of bed yet. She just clutched her eyes shut, thinking that Mark must just be preparing to leave for office. So he quietly moved about the room, while she lay nestled in the sheets, her eyes blinking open slowly.In a daze, she watched him gather a few items in both his hands while balancing them carefully. Perplexed, she rubbed her eyes, still half-asleep, and mumbled, "Are you off to work early today?"He turned towards her with a mischievous glint in his eyes, and grinned broadly. "Honey! You're awake already?!"She sat up, pulling the covers tighter around her to make a blanket burrito. With some elevation, she could see that he was putti

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

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

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
