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
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -39 : Arrested
All the heads turned in the direction of the incoming voice, only to find Mark standing there.Although Andrew was a little startled at first, his frown eased immediately and he laughed after seeing him there and went on;"Of course, it's you! So now, a beggar is going to tell me how an investor thinks, what he's going to like and what not ?I really think my dear sister needs to teach him some business ethics.Because as for basic human ethics, he has none-""And I think someone has forgotten about the Rover's party real soon!"Mark was saying all this just to make light of the situation, but still, a smirk appeared on his face- even though he didn't really want to expose himself just yet.But his statement ended up triggering Mariella's experience of humiliation once again, and she spoke;"Enough! It's not the Rover's Manor, where anyone has the right to say whatever they want to.This is my business, and I am the head here.And hence, I once again want to declare that our new Mana
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -40: Five years ago
Mark's revelation was enough to give a high voltage shock to everyone standing there.Especially to three people: Lady Mariella, Andrew and Moira!As the other shareholders were just present there because the Blue Mountains Group had once started as a family business.And that's why, after all these years, they all still had some shares under their name.But the toxicity of Mariella had caused everybody's loyalty to drift away from the business, and they all were just staying for the namesake.And when one of the attorneys announced the offer to buy their shares at asking price, most of them had already started considering it- and some were even imagining how they would spend the imaginary money! But no one really wanted to expose themselves in front of the family, hence they were keeping quiet.But the moment they heard the name of the Rover family being directly included in this deal, suddenly, they were all ready to expose themselves as well.Because by now, they all had heard the
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 41 : Hypocrites
A pin drop silence fell in the room for a few moments as everyone there struggled to maintain their grasp on reality.The atmosphere inside the hall was a mix of anticipation and disbelief. The air hummed with hushed conversations as shareholders, executives, and journalists discussed the recent headlines and speculated about the upcoming revelations. So many revelations, one after the other, had shocked the shareholders to their core. And that too, within the span of an afternoon when they expected the ceremony to be a formal and dignified affair.First, the unveiling of the secret investor had resulted in the arrival of Mark Wright!Next, the Holmes family's penniless and much- humiliated son- in- law had turned out to be far more loaded and formidable than anyone could have imagined.The Marcus Rover himself! And while the young Holmes was being put in handcuffs for threatening such an influential man, they had received another dose of shock.Two female detectives had walked in,
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 42 : The Villa
Mark had just started to enjoy the drama that has been initiated because of his real identity getting revealed.Even though this wasn't a part of his initial plan, where he only wanted to show up to the board meeting as an investor, he had ended up announcing his full name in front of the shareholders as well as journalists.Still, he couldn't say he regretted this impulsive decision, as he was having quite a bit of fun watching the reactions on the faces of these people who hadn't stopped for a second before insulting his dear wife time and time again. Andrew looked like he had frozen into a statue with his jaw perpetually hanging open like a fly trap, Mariella was simmering with rage, while Moira looked like she had seen a ghost! Although the heated conversation going on between him and Moira could hardly be called banter, one thing was sure, that he was indeed enjoying it as one!Because he had already known for a long time that the day they would come to know about his real iden
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 43 : Black, White and Gray
Everything in this world has their own identity attached with them, along with several permutations and combinations.And humans are also no exception to this.Like some are sweet and gentle, some are selectively sweet and gentle, with a mixture of cunningness in their demeanor. Some are just naive and too innocent for this world while some are completely opposite of that.Andrew was also one of its kind, because the young heir of the Holmes family was not just dumb; rather, he was a mixture of many qualities which he tried to hide under the garb of his evilness.But the reality was he was not really purely evil- yes, a little cunning, but it was offset by the fact that he was a complete idiot!Meanwhile, Mariella Holmes' nature was completely opposite to that of her grandson.She indeed tried to hide her real self behind the mask of being a kind hearted- intelligent businesswoman who had been holding her family together for decades.But in reality, she was an example of pure evil in

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
