On one hand, it was true that he had told Alex that he trusted him about the fact he wouldn't include any clause that would hurt him.Or any clause that would not be beneficial for him in the future, but he had never imagined that he would go to this extent in the process of trying to save him.So much so, that he would mention three extreme clause in the contract;Mrs Cassandra Holmes, referred to as Party B, is not allowed to abort the child without any life-threatening medical condition, or she would have to face a heavy penalty and murder charges.Party A is responsible for the settlement of all the bills, medical check up and every financial help Party B would need throughout the pregnancy period but in return Party B will not have any freedom to go anywhere without informing Party A.Party B will never be able
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 73 : Heart stroke
After the man left him once again, with more questions than the answers he had been given, Connor found himself alone in his cell once again.After a resigned sigh, he accepted his fate for the time being, and retreated to the back of the room before slowly unfurling the chit wedged between his fingers.Although he had been expecting something absurd to be written - after all, he wasn't so naive to think that that man named Anthony was just doing him such a large favor in exchange for nothing.Still, he hadn't been expecting anything like this. The words in the chit were scribbled in a neat yet hurried handwriting. The words were squished together to make them fit inside the small piece of paper, and he almost squinted his eyes to read it against the faint light."Your first task is just to finish the next meal you are served, and make sure to finish it completely. That food contains an untraceable drug that will induce all the symptoms of a heart stroke in your body. Be mindful to

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!"

"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

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
