Mark turned his face in the direction of the new voice.

Although in the first place, he was not very confident about them having anything in the vicinity of what he was in search of…

But still, he was not ready to leave any option unattended.

Thinking this, the first thing he did was to quickly nod his head in affirmation, showing his interest in the proof that they were referring to.

And apart from that, he had also come up with the idea that it would be a great chance to make Cassie aware of the fact that her family was not as she thinks of them, they are.

Deciding everything within the span of fifteen seconds, he finally opened his mouth and spoke;

"Cass! Honey, would you mind if it takes a little longer to stay with me here?"

"No!"

Cassie just managed to let out a single word from her mouth, being caught in the confusion of whether she should believe what she was seeing, or was it all just scripted.

    Moira had barely just managed to slide the cocktail glass back in its original place, when a person showed up in front of her, like a genie who had popped up, seemingly out of nowhere.Anybody else would have taken a while to figure out who this person was, who had suddenly appeared in front of Moira… but not Mark. Only half of this person's left profile was visible in the video, and with the club's dark ambience and flashing lighting that moved through a spectrum of purple, red, green, yellow and blue within seconds, it was difficult to discern his features clearly.But even if that specific one fourth of this man's face had not been visible in the video, this was someone Mark could have recognized just by his shadow.Because it was none other than his brother, Matteo Rover. The slant of his wide shoulders was clearly visible under the tan colored linen blazer, and his walk was just the same as he remembered, so was the familiar gesture of him approaching someone with his head held

How come you remember the fact that you still have a brother and he is still alive -"And the person interrupted him from finishing his sentence;"Oh, shut up! You are not going to die anytime soon! The Devil is still busy with his work.""What do you mean?" Alex asked, his eyebrows reaching his hairline!

    Alex found Mark humming to himself in the kitchen, while hoarding the food in his plate.It was true that he must be starving as he had left the house early and now it was already late afternoon.He was able to observe the drastic weight loss he had gone through during this period, and how his handsome face had been left with the structure of a skeleton and an outer lining of flesh.But today… today, there was a light of happiness present on that face after so long.And in that moment, he realized that what he was about to do, required much more than just the determination and dedication of saving his friend.But before he could realize what that thing should be, Mark noticed his presence and spoke;"Alex!

    While Alex was teasing her relentlessly Mark declared, "Don't pay attention to him, Vi!

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!

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!

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 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

    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

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

    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

    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.
