Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 31 : Best friend !
Cassie was at a loss for a few moments after Maxwell Rover vanished from her sight.This is when Alex stepped forward and spoke;"Hello, Cassie, or I should say sister-in-law! I hope you haven't faced any difficulty in arriving here and finding the Estate?""No, not at all…"Cassie spoke with a smile, trying to remember the name Mark had mentioned for his best friend. But all her efforts seemed to be in vain, this was when she heard Alex's voice once again. "I am sure that he hasn't ever mentioned me to you, or scratch that, I am sure that he hasn't even mentioned my name in front of you, not even once!""No, no… that is not the case-""I know him very well, sister-in-law, so you don't have to cover for him. Just chill, and let me introduce myself to you first.I am Alex… Alex D-""Alex Rover! Cassie, he is Alex Rover, my one and only best friend."Mark said, squeezing Alex's shoulder as he interrupted before Alex could have spoiled everything in one fell swoop- and that too, withou
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 32 : Display of Kindness
After bidding goodbye to Cassie and Mark, Alex turned in a completely different direction, but paused after walking a few steps to observe their receding backs.And once they had vanished from his sight completely, he knew what he had to do next.Once he was assured about the fact that they could not see him anymore and wouldn't be returning anytime soon, made his way to the foyer where Cassie's family was standing.It didn't take him more than five minutes to reach, taking long strides; and this time he might seem alone, but he had already asked the guards to accompany him.He had made sure that Connor had been thrown out of the estate already, and now, it was the turn of everyone else who had dared to mistreat his best friend.Because the Old man still had some obligations to follow and some ethics to uphold, which were stopping him from throwing Cassie's family out of the party. But he didn't have any such obligations or ethics! The only ethic and duty he observed was that he was n
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -33 : The Heir
When she entered the ballroom, Cassie was feeling a little overwhelmed at first. But then, her gaze met Mark's, and a warm feeling rose in her chest.She could see him standing in one corner, nursing a drink and his gaze fixed on her. She had an inexplicable feeling like as long as he was there with his reassuring smile, she would be okay anywhere. But no matter how many people were standing here now, she felt a little more at ease due to the warmth and familiarity with which everyone from the Rover family had treated her.Almost an hour ago, when Mark had taken her along with himself after meeting Grandpa Rover, he had taken her around the Estate, talking about his childhood memories of spending his days with his best friend here.This dynamic was quite new and at the same time, quite delightful for Cassie, who had always been taught from her childhood that she was supposed to put family above everything else.She had never been allowed to form close friendships with anyone else, ap
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -34 : Trust
She turned with a little bit of fear in her eyes, as the question of why everyone there had been so considerate to her husband had not come to any solid conclusion yet.And the problem was, this considerate behavior was not only limited to him but extended to her as well.Even though she was sure that the people of this place might not judge others by their social status and give them the margin and consideration of being a human… Still, she was noticing Romera's behavior with the other staff and the attention she was bestowing on Mark.All these thoughts were enough to keep her busy for several nights in a row, which had left no space for any kind of small talk! So the moment she felt that touch on her shoulder, the fear of someone trying to grab her attention for another small talk suddenly filled her eyes with blankness as she turned around."Cass! What happened? You don't look good! Do you need something? Are you not feeling well?"Dark lines of concern etched even deeper on Ma
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 35 : I love you*
** Contains explicit content**Mark had finally given Cassie the bracelet, after waiting for the perfect opportunity for days on end. He had mever assumed that giving her the bracelet would turn out to be this difficult, because of their past.He accepted the fact that he had chosen to come close to her because of his selfish motives and interest, but there was no doubt in his heart that he loved her.He loved from the core of his heart and he can't afford to lose her, at any cost.With these thoughts in mind, he saw Cassie, who was still trying to believe that the bracelet she had been given was not fake, but was an authentic- and a limited edition at that! He had bought it at an auction the very same day he had gotten his black card back.He had stopped at the jewelry outlet on his way to Clovelly, and had been informed by the staff that three bids had been set for this bracelet so far, but a price had not been agreed upon yet.Not having any time to waste, he had directly doubled
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -36 : Owner
It had been three days since the party, and Cassie was getting used to their normal routine once again.She quickly finished her breakfast smoothie as she rushed for the office, since Jessica was waiting for her in the apartment's corridor. As promised, Mark had already asked Jessica, their neighbor, to accompany her to the office- and even though Cassie had felt slightly upset at the thought of being babied at first, she had gradually come to like it.She understood now that apart from finding a solution to her concerns about being followed, Mark had wanted to nudge her to make new friends in Clovelly, too. Besides making her feel safe, commuting with Jessica gave Cassie the chance to distract herself from the thought that lurked at the edges of Cassie's consciousness, threatening to consume her completely. The thought that she missed Mark.And whenever her thoughts turned in that direction, she couldn't stop herself from overthinking every little thing.Her eyes fell on the diamo
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 37 : I want answers
Finally, the day of decision that everyone was waiting for in the Blue Mountains Group had arrived.After multiple delays and postponements, Lady Mariella was ready to make her decision and this time, nothing could sway her.The notice had been issued three days in advance, unlike last time, and a disruption like last time was not to be expected.To avoid that possibility completely, two bodyguards had been established at the doorway, who would block anyone who tried to enter once the meeting had commenced. Cassie was a little anxious, even though she was sure that now she was the sole eligible person for this position.Still the anxiety being carried over from last night, along with Mark's absence, was making her a little upset and unsure about the future.But the fact was that whatever happened in future, she was not in the position to run from it, let alone hide from it.She knew it, and she was content that at least she was familiar with all the realities of her life; and on top
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 38 : Dare
Mariella Holmes had always known that she would eventually go through a phase rebellion, but she had never assumed that Cassie would ever dare to question her in front of the board members.The night she left the party hosted by the Rover family and saw her granddaughter enjoying it, even after her family was thrown out… She had decided to make her taste the humiliation that they had to go through.But her rebellion had shocked her entirely, as she was never aware that this boldness was even present inside Cassie! After all, all she was capable of was working hard and accepting orders, and apart from the matter of marriage, she had never been vocal about anything till date.Even on the day of the gala, she had decided to announce Andrew as the Managing Director. And if not for the Mayor's provocation, she wouldn't have been considered for the position.Hence, Cassie's direct questions were enough to fume the anger inside Lady Holmes' heart, as she snapped back;"Who told you that yo

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

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
