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
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -181 : Craving
Sensing Violet's frantic desperation, George suggested;"I think sour licorice candy might work?" Although Violet had to drive out to the store again, she did so without complaining.She was on the extreme level of panic as if Cassie might explode if her craving was not satisfied right this moment! Marcus and Alex were at the office, and the Rovers and Denvers had already left for Lancaster, as the four younger ones were supposed to join their families during the weekend. Although Romera and Maxwell had been quite reluctant to leave Cassie behind, Alex and Mark had barely managed to convince them that they would handle everything for the next few days. For this afternoon, had the responsibility that everything should be alright with Cassie and the babies was on Violet's shoulders, so she couldn't take it lightly at all. In her confusion and panic, she even forgot that there were tens of servants and drivers available to fetch anything on a single command, and dashed back inside t
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -182 : Heirloom
Early the next morning, a row of cars lined up at the Rover Mansion as Mark, Cassie, Alex, and Violet arrived back at Lancaster. The welcoming sight of Romera, Mark's mom, awaited them as soon as they entered. She greeted them with a playful smirk, having heard about the storm caused by Cassie's sudden craving.She mockingly scolded them;"Well, well! What have you four been up to? I hear you all kicked up quite a storm just because of a simple sour craving?"Violet stepped forward and jumped to hug her, then said teasingly;"Oh, you know, just a typical day! But I have to say, auntie, your daughter- in- law is too spoiled, she keeps us all on our toes!"Romera chuckled, her eyes twinkling with mischief as she stepped forward and brought Cassie on her side.Placing one arm around her back in a protective gesture, she spoke;"I knew you wouldn't be able to handle it, that's why I didn't want to leave my Cassie behind with your troublesome trio."Grinning, Violet stood on the other si

To Cassie's surprise, Romera's eyes also held the presence of tears as she said softly, "I am the one who should be thanking you, not the other way round. After Matteo's death, Marcus left home and insisted on keeping no contact with us at all.I had never even dared to imagine that I would ever get the chance to be a part of this tradition, and to pass these down to someone. So thank you, for bringing happiness into our family home again…"Cassie responded warmly, "Life has a way of surprising us, doesn't it? Even after marrying Mark, I had never imagined that I would ever get to have such a wholesome family. In fact, he never told me anything about you all for the first few years, and I was always afraid to approach the topic.Although now, we all know why… I just, I never thought I would be so happily accepted and even cherished."As she said this, Romera pulled her in for a heartfelt hug as Cassie wiped away a tear, grateful for the unexpected moments of joy that life had best
