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

And finally, she pulled out the actual gems of the attic, which were the photo albums and diaries that chronicled the milestones of Mark's early years. Romera handed Cassie a weathered album, its pages filled with snapshots capturing Mark's infectious smiles. "Oh, look at this one!" Romera exclaimed, pointing to a photo of a young Mark in a superhero cape, his eyes filled with determination as he seemed ready to embark on a quest to save the imaginary world. Cassie couldn't help but giggle at the adorable sight, and then turned the page to find a large photograph of Matteo and Mark together.The signature and date at the bottom of the photograph indicated that it was taken in the summer of 1998.The photograph showed the two boys standing in a rose grove. Matteo, aged almost five, stood with curiosity, wearing a neat sailor suit and sporting sandy blond hair. His eyes reflected his amusement as he posed with a sincere smile.Beside him, one and a half year old Marcus was dressed

They only realized that it was almost afternoon when one of the servants peeked in to remind them that the lunch had already been served.The mother and daughter in- law descended the stairs as the clock struck two, and the aroma of a sumptuous lunch wafted through the air as the kitchen staff had already spread out the delicacies on the dining table. Just as they had finished eating the delicious meal Romera spoke up;"You know, during my pregnancy, what relaxed me the most was a soothing spa session. It's the perfect way to unwind, don't you think?"Cassie smiled coyly in response as she replied;"Actually, I barely made time to go to the spa before, for a quick manicure or pedicure session. But since the doctor advised not to get my nails painted for a little while, I haven't been to the spa since the pregnancy."A spark of enthusiasm ignited in Romera's eyes as she proposed, "What! That's unacceptable! Cassie, how about we make it into a spa day? Let me take you to my usual spot

The meeting that was supposed to end in an hour, somehow finished up early, giving Mark the greatest joy of the day.As the days for the delivery were coming near, he was becoming more and more anxious about Cassie’s health as well he was feeling more and more homesick without her presence.It was just like she had become his entire home, and he had started to feel homeless in her absence!Thinking this, he quickly wrapped up everything that was still left to be monitored by him, and asked his secretary to clear up the rest of his schedule and cancel all his other plans for today, if he had any.And with that, in the hope of giving Cassie a pleasant surprise, he rushed back to the Rover mansion.But it seems that the surprise he wanted to give Cassie, was already ready with a return gift. Because after arriving there, he found out that his wife and mother had gone to a spa.The uneasiness in his heart started to grow, even though he knew that his mother would definitely be taking grea

Seeing the call from her husband and after announcing it to everyone standing within a radius of at least ten feet from them, Natalie finally picked up the call and spoke;"Oh, Darling! You can never guess how glad I am that you called! You know, I was just about to call you myself?"Pausing for a moment, she gave a pointed look to Mark and then Cassie. She then put her hand on the speaker, while gesturing to Cassie that she was on call and was going to talk about her.And in the meantime, Mark finally got the time to make sure whether Cassie was okay or not, and he realized that she had been standing till now.This realization was enough to make him panic as he quickly rushed towards her. After he made her sit on the nearest chair, he quickly asked in a low tone;"How are you ? How has your day been at the spa?""I am fine Mark… it's just -""Thank God that you are fine, was it a relaxing session?"Cassie tried to interrupt and apologize for the chaos her friend was causing, but Mar

She looked at Mark with her sharp eyes, which were glittering with the fake pride and ego, which were present there just because of her husband.Completing her last sentence, she took a long and deep sigh, as if she was trying to give her condolences to Cassie, for what she was about to do. She was trying to act like she was a really kind hearted lady who didn't really want to do this, but she was forced to take this step, all because of Mark!Mark was the one who had not left a generous and considerate soul like her with any other option, after insulting her infront of Cassie and her husband, who was also present there on a phone call.If he had not misbehaved with her, she would have been a lady of high class and a golden heart, who didn't want to do bad towards anyone, even if that person was a low class, stinky, poor delivery boy who had no manners.And with this belief in her heart and plenty of arrogance in her expression, she proceeded.I know that after hearing this, you hav

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

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
