Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -54 : Spilling the beans
Mark stabilized himself as the voice fell in his ears, and it sounded really similar to Alex's voice.And as he turned around, he saw none other than Alex standing there, in the flesh!He almost could not believe his eyes as he got up and circled around the swing to hug his best friend, who was standing with his hands at his hips. "Alex, you're here!""Of course, you dumbhead! I know my best friend is so scatterbrained that he wouldn't remember to inform me about the day's events let alone invite me over, at least not until the adrenaline would wear off at midnight.So I just took the initiative to show up on my own and force you to formally apologize later."He added with a sassy shrug as Mark let go of him and stepped back. Whatever Alex said, Mark knew that him showing up here was the only thing that could get his mind off things.Otherwise, until he had given him a jump scare two minutes ago, he hadn't even realized that it was already past dusk!All of a sudden, as if he had ju

It took a few moments for Cassie to realise who he was, and where she had met him.The confusion didn't seem to last longer in the section of his identity, but rather, the words he was mumbling were not only confusing but bordering on the territory of being offensive.Because there was nothing to be congratulated about, on the worst day of her life! Yes, it was indeed true that she had become the Managing Director of her family's company… but at what cost?! And while she stood there, completely frozen in her state of confusion, he spoke again;"Oh, c'mon! Sister-in-law, I know it's just the second time we are meeting, but once, again your dear husband is the one to blame here.Because trust me, if he had not forbidden me to meet you, we would already have been a formidable team.But nevermind, it's never too late, I will be in a team with the new one!""New one?"Finally, Cassie realized that his indications were nothing regarding her professional life, but everything was completely

The words and demands of this man, both were thought- provoking for Connor.He hadn't even got a chance to move on from the fact that Mariella Holmes was the one who had pocketed all the money he had paid up to take care of this matter… Till now, he had been thinking that he was the one who benefited during every interaction with them, mostly financial but also social. But it was the first time that he was being made to stand in front of the reality… or was it even the reality? Maybe this person was trying to fool him.Because as far as he knew Andrew, he knew that that dumbo was good for nothing! And Moira was someone who indeed pretended that she was very clever, but in reality, she was nowhere to be found even in the vicinity of cleverness.And at last, Cassie was just a pure soul who couldn't even imagine something bad happening to someone, let alone doing it… then how could their grandma be this cunning!? And while he was busy in his thoughts, he heard the stranger's voice onc

After dumping Alex on the bed, Mark turned to walk towards his bedroom.But now, everything was a complete mess!Originally, he had wanted to hide everything from Cassie for at least one week, so that the first hearing would take place in the meantime, and all the convicts would get their sentence.And then, they could have started off their life together, on a good note. He had planned to reveal the news to her in a private moment, which would, of course, be followed by a grand party.But now, nothing like this could happen, because his dearest friend had to ruin everything in his excitement, and he didn't even know what he was supposed to do next… His brain felt foggy as the day's exhaustion compelled him to let his eyes fall shut and give in to the inviting warmth of the void.But it was only the troubled look in Cassie's eyes and the trace of conflict in her facial expressions that he had noticed a few minutes ago, that kept his mind focused and his legs moving in a steady rhythm
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 58 : Tip
Mark had spent the last five years concealing every bit of his original identity from being exposed in any manner, be it through someone else addressing him, or his words, dressing style, or even any minute gestures or body language.So, it was natural for the defensive instincts to kick in from time to time, especially in uncomfortable social situations where he was surrounded by people with a hostile attitude. And before he could have gotten some time to understand what was going on, even after the realization of his revealed identity had set in, he heard one of them speak up;"Look! It's Cassie's husband… or should we call you a delivery boy! Tell me, have you ever seen this much money at once, or tell me, do you know what real earned money feels like?"Saying this, he pulled out a bundle of notes and fanned it in front of Mark's eyes, adding;"I am willing to give you these, if you wipe the table over there… as a tip."Mark wanted to give a snapping reply to all of them in a very
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 59 : Breakfast
The moment Mark stepped out of the house, Cassie opened her eyes.She had awoken long ago, but had been lying in bed with her back to him and her eyes shut, all the while he showered and got ready for the day.It wasn't that she was happy to avoid him like this, but she still had a decision to make. And with what she had in mind, it was best for her to avoid confronting him this morning, not knowing whether or not she would be able to follow through with her plan after facing him. She climbed out of bed, and a few minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom in a fluffy bathrobe that had been placed inside, with her initials embroidered on it. A trail of steam followed her outside, and she paused in front of the mirror as a sudden thought struck her. Only after taking a shower did she fully realize where they were and got concerned about what she would wear, as her mind had been so cloudy that she hadn't even considered this point.Sighing reluctantly, she slid the door to the wa

Alex dashed out barefoot without even thinking fully, when he saw the three drivers standing aside near the gate.Turning towards the garage, he saw all the cars standing there, apart from the model Mark had purchased most recently.He immediately felt a rising sense of panic; what was Cassie doing, leaving the house and searching for a cab while all these cars and chauffeurs were standing there with their hands tied!He hurriedly put on his shoes and jumped on the front seat behind the steering wheel and rushed outside. Keeping Cassie's car within his field of vision, he was also careful to maintain a safe distance, ducking behind other large cars whenever he got the chance.He saw the scenery changing from the hustle and bustle of the central part of the city, as the buildings slowly became sparse and the greenery became denser.He saw the taxi coming to a stop in front of a signboard that read 'Lockhart Women's Fertility and Maternity Care Clinic', and at once, it became clear why

Alex almost couldn't believe his ears."What? What did you just say, miss? I'm sure you must be mistaken, I'm talking about Cassandra Wright. Just give me a moment, and I might be able to pull up a picture from, from a few weeks ago… That- that's my sister in law, and I just saw her leaving so upset- I think you're still mistaken. You can let me know if there are any complications, so that we can take good care of her.You don't understand, my best friend, he's from a very powerful family, and there's no medical complication they can't afford to get resolved. Maybe you're getting confused, let me just ask the doctor herself, you don't understand the gravity of the situation-""Excuse me, sir! You can't step into the doctor's cabin without an appointment, there are other patients sitting inside at the moment."Hearing this, Alex's steps halted; of course, he could not barge into someone's private appointment.At the same time, his mind was spinning with the words the intern had just

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
