Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 90 : Slow dancing
Mark knew what he was saying.He knew what he was doing.He knew what effect his presence had on Cassie.And moreover, he was completely familiar with how their close proximity had always been able to make her forget everything she was doing, thinking of, or planning to do.And he used to quite enjoy it, when he was completely sure that she loved him from the core of her heart.

Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch-91 : House rules
After Guolong left, Anthony suddenly became a little more cheerful… in fact, to such an extent where his behavior began to give chills to his staff.The same staff members, who had only seen their Master burning with the anger of a Demon King, or the wrath of a person who has no mercy for anyone or anything in this entire world, had to avert their gazes in shock and horror. That's why, the cheerfulness on his face was making them believe in all the superstitions they had ever heard, as they all were fearing the ominous silence that had started to spread in the house! Anthony also seemed to be aware of this silent environment of terror, but he was quite enjoying it.Seeing people in fear, pain and panic was his favorite pastime.And today, when he finally had all the three Aces in his hands… didn't he deserve to enjoy himself a little bit?Humming to himself, he sat on the couch and gestured to the butler to bring the bottle of scotch… after all, today called for a time of celebratio
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -92 : Dancing all night
"Uhum!" Cassie replied, the moment she heard the proposal for dinner from Mark.So it was not just Mark who didn't want the dance to end, but Cassie as well; as the end of their moves was simply going to indicate that the night was so close to being over.But she didn't want it to end so soon, especially when it had just started.The tiny steps we take in our lives, fill the circumstances of really significant portions of our lives- and right now, Cassie wanted to take those steps through dancing.Meanwhile, she noticed that Mark was doing as she had requested.Yes, request… because currently, she didn't think that she was in the position to order or demand something from him.The guilt was still evident in her mind, and she really didn't know how long it was going to stay… and to be honest, she really didn't even want it to end.Mark twirled her around, and catching her back in his arms, he spoke;"Babe! I know you love dancing, and you have always loved dancing with me, but right

It didn't take too long for both of them to finish their dinner, and after that, Mark noticed that Cassie was already feeling sleepy."You want to sleep now, don't you?'"Not really -" Cassie spoke in a low tone, fearing the unknown if the night was truly over."Cass! Love, nothing is going to change, no matter how many days as well as nights may pass!So just chill, and don't torture yourself like this."Saying this, he got up from his place and gave her a hand to help her stand up.Before she could have stood completely on her feet, he reached out for her waist and pulled her in his arms.If it would have been some other day, she might have protested; but today, she was really tired and so much had happened in just one day.His arms gave her the comfort she had been looking for, the entire day.__________Mark's POV:I really wonder how she is going to become a mother, when she herself is basically just like a child.Like who falls asleep in their partner's arms, the moment they re
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 94 : Trial again
The adage about days having wings attached to them, is truly an understatement when one carefully thinks about it. Especially considering that the speed with which the days were passing was definitely faster than a bird flying in the open sky… with its wings wide open and with their full speed.Because ten days had passed in the blink of an eye..Mark was getting ready for the trial, standing in front of a grand, ornate mirror in the villa, dressed in a tailored suit. In the golden accents, and soft, muted lighting, Mark's reflection in the mirror showcased a man who had changed during the course of the last five years. His once carefree demeanor had transformed into a steely resolve, a determination to see the case through to its conclusion. The weight of his family's expectations and the memory of his brother's tragic death rested heavily on his shoulders.Mark adjusted his tie, a black silk one that signified his mourning for his brother, and at the same time, he couldn't help b
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 95 : Spies
Anxiety started to bubble up inside Mark's heart.He didn't know what was the reason behind it, but how was it possible that Anthony was standing in front of him?Wasn't he dead already?Had people started returning off from the land of the dead as well, without being claimed or looking like a zombie, Dracula or ghost?!Then how and why… were his eyes deceiving him ?Or even if they were, then why? Was it all a lie, did he really see the same person he recognised, the same person he knew couldn't appear in front of him in any situation? Or was he just hallucinating because of the panic of the result of the jury?Or was it just some random person who had a crazy resemblance to Anthony? Anything was possible, but the fact that a dead person had recovered from their death is an imagination that requires some medicines and really good sleep.Think that, he wanted to ask his lawyer about who he really was and what he was there for.But before he could have completed his thoughts and deci

The courtroom buzzed with anticipation, and the atmosphere grew thick with tension as the judge entered, draped in solemn black robes. Mark sat on the edge of his seat, eyes fixed on the person who was finally here as a result of his consistent efforts— Connor Lawrence, who had managed to escape justice at every turn… but not this time.This time, he had plenty of evidence to have him sentenced, but Connor seemed completely unbothered by the fact that all these people had gathered here for his trial. Flanked by his defense attorney, he was wearing a mask of composure that did a good job at hiding the storm inside. However, Mark could still tell that he was putting on a false air of confidence, because his eyes betrayed a hint of anxiety, revealing a crack in the facade. His eyes, cold and calculating, scanned the room, and their gazes locked for a brief moment, as Mark noticed a flicker of defiance.It was a game… a chess match, where the pieces were people's lives, and the stakes

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!

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

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?

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.

"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
