Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch-10: Young Master?
Both Cassie and Mark were outraged by Moria's bitter words and wanted to give her an adequate reply to teach her some etiquette.But before any of them could react, seven black Jaguars came to a screeching halt at the intersection. Some guards, wearing all black- outfits, stepped out of them. Their unexplained presence was intimidating, and they seemed to be talking amongst themselves via the bluetooth earpieces they all were wearing.One of them reached to open the door of the fourth jaguar, parked in the middle of the envoy. He opened the black umbrella in his hand, and placed it in front of the door. A middle- aged man stepped out of the car and into the shade of the umbrella, his eyes fixed towards the three of them. Another bodyguard rushed towards Mark with an umbrella in hand, but stopped in his place after one gesture from him. Before the tall man could take more than one step forward, eight more well- built men, wearing black safari suits, jumped out of the cars, and forme
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -11 : Returning Home
"And don't think about me too much. I'll be back soon, after meeting Mr. Rover." These were the words that Mark had said to Cassie before leaving, but all Cassie seemed to be capable of at the moment, was repeating the same sentence in her mind again and again.Her eyes were eagerly searching for a cab at the same time.It was the first time that Mark had left her at the behest of someone else; otherwise, in all these years, he had never left her side suddenly, for any reason. Her safety was the only thing he was always concerned about.Sometimes she also used to mock him about this, saying that he tended to act like he was actually the richest person on earth, and as if their life was always at stake without the presence of guards guarding them.It was not that she never liked his caring attitude for her, but she had always found this action a bit over-the-top, and she wasn't shy to express this to him, either. And while she was busy with her thoughts, she heard Moira's voice once

Mark wanted to argue, and wanted to tell his Grandfather that he could not expose himself right now.But the sadness in those old eyes, the guilt for a crime they had never committed and the regret of not being able to do something that they wanted very badly, stopped him.He nodded and walked out of the library, thinking it was not the right time to say or do anything.After all, there were still four days left until the weekend, so he would wait for the opportunity to convince his grandfather; having decided this, he stepped towards his room. Immersed in his thoughts, he climbed up the flight of stairs that led to his room. But he paused for a second before entering the room, his hand frozen at the handle of the door.He was standing in front of this door after so many years, that this duration had almost convinced him that he wouldn't be able to enter this room, ever again.As after so many years, he was still standing at the same spot he had started walking from. It was making hi

The wall clock placed in the living room showed that it was already seven o'clock.But Mark had not returned yet, and Cassie was waiting for him to come back.She was getting worried, since he had not called her all day. Not only this, but after he had left, he hadn't replied to any of her messages, either.This was something she had never experienced in the entire time period she had known him.She had met him four years ago; back when she was in college. He was the most brilliant student of the class, and the only thing people used to look down on him for was his economical status.But she had always admired him and had always been a fan of his skills; even in their college days, he used to work as a delivery boy and still managed to get the first rank secured in his name, every single time.He might have gotten a decent job after his graduation, if only he didn't have to move with her to Clovelly after their marriage. As an act of vindictiveness, her family had managed to use thei
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 14 : Good news
Connor was in his car, parked under Cassie's apartment, waiting anxiously for any updates. Andrew had promised him that if he agreed to increase the investment, not only would he convince Cassie to marry him, but he would also bring her along for dinner tonight.And because of that, he had also agreed to bring her to the approaching party at the Rover mansion as his partner. After all, the Rovers really preferred to deal with family businesses.He would have been successful in getting an investment or signing some collaborative projects with them much earlier than this; if only the Rovers were not this private.But finally, they had decided to show their faces to the rest of the world and had invited everyone from the business community in the North as well, otherwise they had never bothered about them anyway.And this was his cue to make the most of this opportunity; by not just showing up to the party, but also by acting like the most deserving candidate and dazzling them with his

"Did we hear that correctly? You already have a wife! You got married? To whom? When?!"Romera read out the list of questions that was not only running through everyone's minds but was also visible in their eyes- even though nobody else had found the words to express that yet. "Umm…" Mark was unable to say a single word apart from this.He might have announced this giant news and revealed his hidden marriage, but he himself was not sure about how his family was going to react to this news.In the beginning, he had to hide this news from everyone else, since he had his doubts and he wanted to confirm everything before taking any further steps.And right now, he was still keeping it under wraps because he still had a few things that were essential to him to know.But after hearing from Alex that his family had already undertaken a mission of bride- hunting, he knew he couldn't keep this hidden any longer.And while he was contemplating his rash decision of revealing everything without
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 16 : Memories
The past and the memories of said past, is something that we can never change, nor do we have the power to erase them.They just become an inseparable part of our lives, and we have to live with that fact that we can't alter that reality of ours.The same lines could be said, regarding the story of Marcus Rover! The second son of the Rover family had always been a fun- loving and sporty boy, who was free from every tension in his life thanks to the way everyone in his family doted on him from his very first breath. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth and gold bowl in his hand, the infant Marcus was swung in the diamond crested cradle.He was good at every activity he picked up, even at random- and besides hailing from a background that set him apart from ninety- nine percent of the people around him. And because he was one of those people who required the bare minimum effort to excel at everything, Marcus Rover was the object of everyone's envy in Lancaster, where he had grown up
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 17 : Shatter
It was the third day of his trip to Switzerland when Marcus was woken up in the middle of the night by his phone ringing incessantly.He answered the call groggily, but he snapped into consciousness instantly when he received the devastating news: his brother, Matteo Rover, had been involved in an accident that had claimed his life. He returned to Lancaster as quickly as possible, only to find that everyone from his family was already in mourning… After his flight landed and he sat inside the car that had been sent for him at the airport, rain started pouring relentlessly over the quaint English countryside, a reflection of the heavy sorrow that hung in the air. Marcus sat, seemingly looking out of the window without his eyes registering any of the beautiful scenery; each minute passed like an eternity, as he replayed memories of his elder brother in his mind: shared laughter, whispered secrets, and lifelong dreams.As the car took a final turn, the Rover family estate finally came

Ch- 197 : Whispers of wealth
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

Ch-195 : Nursery
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

Ch -191 : Ungrateful
"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
