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
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 44 : Lifeline
Everyone attending the board meeting had been kept on their toes by the ongoing series of events that had fallen like repeated lighting strikes on an old and hollow tree stump.Nobody had the privilege of knowing what might happen in the next second, and they barely had enough time to process one breaking news when another incident grabbed their attention. People were still reeling with the shock of watching the Chairwoman and the soon- to- be Managing Director be dragged out by the police, when Cassie had pulled another stunt and fallen unconscious right in the middle of the conference hall.Fortunately, Mark had reacted on time; but as if he had seen the Grim Reaper himself, he was adamant on wrapping everything up as soon as possible and getting Cassie out of there.This series of events gave one person the chance to slip away from the conference hall as quietly as possible- although she would inevitably have to face the consequences, it could surely be avoided for the time being!

Cassie spoke, gritting her teeth in anger, “Saying that you have reasons to hide it doesn't make you eligible for hiding the most important thing in a relationship…Also known as your identity, Mark Wright-”“Or should I say Marcus Rover?” She added, raising her left eyebrow up.She indeed wanted to trust him, but she found herself unable to do so. No matter how hard she wanted to shake off the doubts in her mind, they still lingered, making her doubt every moment they had spent together. It was not something regarding the love that she had for him, but it was the question of basic trust that she had placed in him. And now, she had suddenly found out that the castle of trust and love which she created in her life was made of sea sand and was ruined by the first wave of the ocean. But the real problem was that she wasn't even sure if it was the first and last wave… or if it was just the beginning of a tsunami. While she was busy in her thoughts, Mark took the opportunity to speak
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 46 : Escape
Moira had never faced this situation ever before, where she was forced to control her rising emotions for so long.Earlier, whenever she had felt like doing something, she had always just gone ahead and done it without hesitation.Either just the Holmes name had been enough to silence anyone who dared to think about confronting her, or her father had taken care of it on her behalf.But for the first time, she was in such a dire situation where she needed Connor's help to escape; and so for the first time, she had bothered to think about the weird and unnecessary concept of consequences. That's why she had been biting back every single sassy retort till now- but on facing his unforgiving relays of sarcasm, she couldn't hold herself back at this point."Thank you for your advice, and since you've been so kind, I'll offer you one in return - if my ship is in danger, then there's no way yours is going to stay afloat for much longer. After all, you know what you've done…"A dark shadow cr
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 47 : He is back
"Who is it? Who is back?" Moira uttered the question in slight confusion.Because as far she knew, the only big and bad thing that had disrupted their life, was the new identity of Mark.Then who could it be, and why was Connor so afraid of this person.Like, what could Mark probably do to him? Unlike Andrew, Connor hadn't even touched him, or tried to assault him. "But what about grandma-" Her thoughts were left hanging in the middle as she heard his voice once again;"The only eye witness of that accident…Anthony…Anthony is back in the city-""An- Anthony… It can't happen! It cannot be happening, no no no… but wait…wait. Grandma… grandma will handle everything like she did earlier. We didn't have to worry last time, so we don't have to worry at all this time. Right-""Moira, come back to your senses!"Connor spoke, interrupting the monologue from Moira. He wanted to speak again, when she jumped in the conversation once again;"She will save us, she will make everything right, she
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 48 : Ruined
Moira slowly repeated the words spoken by Connor.She was completely unable to wrap her head around the possibility that the… event from five years ago would be standing in front of her once again, like a repeating nightmare.She remembered each and everything that had happened that day, in detail. And most importantly, she remembered clearly how the events had played a role in steering everything towards pure and utter chaos.She had always been aware of the fact that her grandmother tended to prefer her because she was the daughter of her only daughter.Unlike Cassie, who was her son's second daughter… but that was the first day Cassie had ever earned praise from her grandmother, as she had scored the highest marks in her high school and was eligible to join any college in the city for her further studies.Moira had been so upset that for the first time, she felt ready to go to any extent, only to bring Cassie down from the pedestal she had recently occupied.And for that, she had

In the dimly lit bar, a volatile atmosphere hung heavy, threatening to erupt at any moment after the initiating punch had already landed. Before Matteo could retort, Andrew picked up a bottle from the bar, and smashed it against his shoulder, making him crumple to the floor as he shouted;"That'll show you, you rascal!" Although he had been aiming for the back of his neck, he had missed the target, but it seemed like it had still worked anyway. The patrons, initially gathered for a typical Friday night of drinking and dancing, found that they had become involuntary witnesses to a dramatic confrontation.The storm had already been set into motion by Andrew and Connor, who had responded to the provocation without bothering to know the identity of the person they were targeting.The two were fueled by anger and a misguided sense of justice for defending the dignity of someone who had already lowered herself enough. Stunned and disoriented, Matteo tried to stand up on his own legs, st
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -50 : Dark secrets
Cassie dusted off her clothes after the final jump, which landed her on the ground at long last.Walking around the yard and out of the gates was simple enough, as the guards on the gate had not been informed of the spontaneous house arrest placed on her, maybe because Mark never expected her to leave like this in the first place.Still, she made sure to take a few steps away from the gate before holding out her hand to hail a cab.As soon as the taxi stopped in front of her, she asked, "To the police station, please?"Cassie could feel the judgment in the driver's questioning eyes as he looked at her from head to toe, taking in her clothes and state before nodding.With a flushed face, she got into the back seat, thanking her stars for the emergency cash she kept stashed into her phone case.Before she realized it, they had reached the police station, and she rushed towards the holding cell that the police officer had told her about. "Grandma!"She reached towards Lady Holmes with t

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
