Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -78 : Pawn
Mark's POV:Tension, frustration, hatred, betrayal… and now, jealousy! Bravo, my brain!I don't know whether I was supposed to reward my brain for giving me the precious opportunity to experience all these different emotions at once, or if I should just mourn about how stupid it was acting! Because I might claim to be a fully grown, mature man, but my brain was indeed opting for the contrarian route and was adamant on acting like a pathetic teenager.A teenager who was both sad and mad qt the entire world, because the world had shown him the fact that all his dreams were not going to turn into reality, and some of them could be dangerous to him as well.Because unlike every rebellious teenager my brain was not just ready to start the revolution against this agenda of the world, but it had also denied the existence of anything known as a soft corner from the very beginning. It had burned any bridges and even razed entire cities to the ground! For example, even though Cassie was stan
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 79 : Proof !
"So it was you who had planted the seeds of poison in our relationship."Cassie spoke the most bitter sentence she had ever imagined saying to someone, in her entire life… but she couldn't help it, because she felt the taste of venom on her tongue as soon as she heard him say those words. After all that had happened with her in the last few days, it had somehow made her bitter towards everyone, apart from Mark.Judging by the way he was commanding Violet and she was receiving his instructions obediently, this was a clear indication that Alex was familiar with her too.The tree of jealousy had already started spreading its roots in her heart and stretching its black branches through her entire being, after seeing Violet wrapping her arms around Mark many times, and Mark reacting positively to it.And now… this statement of Alex had made her believe that somehow, these two people were the antagonists of her love story… her entire life! She indeed wanted to say something further but he
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 80 : Happy memories
Cassie's voice had drawn the attention of every single person inside the courtroom, including the people she knew. In fact, she received even more curiosity from the people she didn't know at all.Everyone present there had different expectations from her, ever since she had shown up in the courtroom this morning.Alex pursed his lips, waiting to see what she would do next. Ever since she had claimed that she could prove her loyalty and innocence, he had been curious to see if she just wanted to deceive them with her acts once again, or if she really had a plan. On the other hand, Mark regarded her with a wary look. He had never wanted her to put herself in the limelight just to make him trust her again, all he had wanted from her was a simple explanation.One explanation- that would be enough for him to know that she still cared about him and their marriage… and she could just as easily give him that explanation in private, as he didn't care about the opinion of anyone else. Viol
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 81 : The Verdict
"Your Honor, this is unnecessary emotional manipulation-""I am just being honest, Mr. Hathen," this time, it was Cassie who took a stand for herself.She then turned away from him, and spoke again;"There is more, your Honor. As per the previous testimony, even though the car involved in the crash was listed under the name of Connor Lawrence, the accident was said to be caused by a driver, Mr. Rogers. But the truth is, that driver was never associated with the Lawrence family, in fact, he was the Holmes family driver."Gasps filled the courtroom, as she spoke;"Moira and I had arrived by car, driven by Mr. Rogers, the Holmes family's chauffeur. Connor and Andrew were supposed to join us at the club, driven by Connor himself.And Mr Rogers wasn't even present at La Priveé around the time of the accident, because he was at the Holmes family Mansion to drop me off, in the car we had arrived in.""I object, Your Honor!"Mr. Hathen rose from his seat once again, speaking loudly;"Doesn'
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 82 : Snake
Mark's POV:I don't know what was going on in my head, after entering the trial room.The fact that I was disturbed by Cassie's presence here was true, but the effect of seeing Cassie and Violet talking to each other was something else.Yes! This was also disturbing me.But the thing that was disturbing me the most was, what was she planning to say next? Because although I had the proof within my hands, I know that Cassie was the eye- witness that day, even if she was not the direct witness for Matteo's death.But she still was the eye witness for all the things Moira had done, and the argument following that. She was the only person apart from the culprits right now, who could prove that they had been present there that night. And they were not out of the country, as it had been stated earlier.According to the public records, the closing argument for the previous case had been that the driver was the one who was driving the Lawrence family's car when Matteo had barged into their c
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 83 : My wife
Mark's voice echoed in the almost- empty room, grabbing the attention of the remaining people in the room towards them.At this time, Mariella was looking like she wanted to trade her soul to the Devil in return for some hell fire which she would use to burn down Cassie and Mark at once!But like all her other wishes on that day, this wish also remained unfulfilled.Mark twisted her wrist and spoke once again, this time giving emphasis on each word;"I. Asked! How. Dare. You. Even. Think. That. Slapping. MY. WIFE. Would. Be . A. Good. Idea?!""Apologize, now!"He roared.Mariella looked a little startled, but it is a well known fact that a human's brain stops functioning and their wits leave their side the moment their end is near. And the same thing was probably going on with Mariella.Because she decided to look back at Mark, staring directly in his eyes with a challenging spark in her gaze, and spat out. "Do you really think that I would apologize to her? I am a woman and I know y
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -84 : Settling accounts
If it would have been some other day, and the tides of time would have been in favor of Mariella Holmes, she would surely have shown this girl what she was capable of.But today… today, neither her time nor her stars were in a good position, dragging her down from the throne she was the only righteous owner of.Hence, after going through all the options in her mind, she replied with her best weapon: self-pity."What can I say for your generous offer, apart from that my old bones are not suitable for any kind of work -""Tch! Tch! Oh yeah, how can I forget, your bones are only capable of hiding the evidence! Right!"Violet spoke again, looking directly in Mariella's eyes."You… you bi- Brat! Why are you teasing an old lady like me? I am Cassie's grandmother, and if you are her friend then in a way I am your grandma as well!"Mariella spoke, biting back her anger, and carefully choosing the word she was about to say, otherwise all her plans would have gone in vain within no time at all.
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 85 : Pitch black
Cassie turned her head to look in the direction where the voice had come from, already knowing who it belonged to.The words were clear and loud in her mind."Is it too late to apologize for my mistake…? Sister in law?"But she was still trying to figure out if she might have misheard the words, because no matter that things were seemingly coming back on the track of getting better….She was still not sure that everything was ever going to become alright, just like it had been before.Not only were her days still hazy, but the sun that was supposed to rise after the jury's decision… she was still unable to catch a glimpse of it.And because of that, she was still unsure about her future, because the hope that had risen after Mark had saved her from her grandma's rage seemed to be vanishing since the moment she talked to the attorney.Because she was not sure how she would clear up the misunderstanding of why she was scouting a new lawyer, because even if she were to say the truth, wou
