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'

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.

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
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -86 : Burden
Cassie was once again lost in her thoughts, when Alex began to speak, his eyes fixed on his fiddling hands. "I know that sometimes Violet is a lot, it's because she is the pampered, only daughter of both the households.And trust me, there are few times when no one can handle her, apart from Marcus.Hence, I accept that this time, I was the one at fault as Marcus was already in shock, and I didn't stop her from the grave mistake she was making, while being carried away by her emotions.But Sister- in- law, I… I am really here to request you to forgive me this time; and trust me I will never repeat this blunder of mine. I will never disappoint you.""Alex, I am not mad at you… I am neither angry, nor disappointed in you. It's just that I am so disappointed in myself.Although I haven't opted for the abortion in the end, but I had considered it as an option, thinking that Mark doesn't love me and I was just a pawn for him in the game of revenge.""Cassie! Don't think this way, avenging
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -87 : Spark
Cassie was indeed left speechless; no matter how hard she was trying to wipe the traces of fear off her face… But the shadow of the insecurity that had been raised after the blunder she had created, was never ready to leave her in the first place.She immediately tried to divert the conversation in another direction, as she had always believed in the theory which advocated in favor of leaving the things we are not sure about, as they are. So ignoring the question, she hurriedly spoke up, without taking a pause between her own words. "Grandma, do you want to eat something? You might be hungry after the trail, aren't you?Please take a shower and change, and come to the dining area. Till then, I will ask the staff to prepare something for you… a- a few dishes you like-""Cassie my child, come here kid, sit with your grandma."Mariella spoke, making her voice sweeter than sugar, while her heart was aware of the fact that whatever she was going to say, every word of it would consist o
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 88 : Misunderstanding
After the visitor left, Cassie wanted to visit her grandmother and see if she was doing well.But her words were just making her lose her confidence further, and she really didn't want any misunderstandings to occupy the space between her and Mark, all over again.Thinking this, she decided to stay away from her, just for this evening. Because after this dinner, she knew she would at least have an answer about what was going to be the fate of her life.And with this determination, she went into her shower. She needed to get ready soon, as Mark would be waiting for her.The cream- colored walls of her new bedroom provided a serene backdrop for the rich, dark wood of the antique vanity that stood near the window. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow across the room, Cassie stood before her mirror, the amber light reflecting in her hazel eyes.But her eyes, usually vibrant, now held a hint of vulnerability. In recent days, the ritual of getting ready became

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

Ch -196 : Crash course
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
