Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 100 : Work place
"Cass? What's wrong?"In response, Cassie just shook her head from side to side.But Mark noticed the concern in her eyes and, with a gentle smile, he asked, "What's on your mind, let me in?"Cassie hesitated for a moment before she replied, "I'm just a bit concerned about all these changes, Mark. It's a lot to take in, and I worry about how it might affect the company and everyone who works there. I mean, we have a lot of old workers there, who have been with us from the beginning, and this overhaul…"She let her sentences trail off, and Mark understood immediately. He reached out and took Cassie's hand, reassuring her, "I understand your concerns, Cass. Change can be unsettling, but I want you to know that we're in this together. I won't make decisions that will impact the company without consulting you and considering your perspective."Cassie's expression softened as she looked into Mark's eyes. "Really? That would mean a lot to me."Mark nodded;"Yes, really. Tomorrow, I'll ta

Disappointed by her own blood relation once again, Mariella made her way throughout the house, looking for Mark.At the end, she found him in the garden outside, sitting alone and thinking about something.For one moment, her heart was full of resentment; how did he think he deserved to stay peacefully after snatching all her power away from her?He was solely responsible for her family being in pieces today, and for making her so helpless that she had to approach him and ask for a favor.While she herself would have laughed at this thought, if someone had said it to her a month ago.But time isn't partial to anyone; and soon, she would be back in her position of superiority. This was the only thought that brought her some comfort, and she approached the bench he was sitting on."Mark… I hope I'm not disturbing you."Although he wasn't pleased to see her there, Mark maintained a formal tone for the sake of civility, and replied;"Please sit." Mariella did as she was told, then began i

In the soft morning light that filtered through the bedroom curtains, Mark stood before the mirror, meticulously knotting his tie. This was the second last step in his routine of getting ready for the day, before stepping out of the house. Meanwhile, Cassie leaned against the bedroom doorway with two mugs of coffee in her hand, and a subtle smile playing on her lips. She knew that Mark had already noticed her presence, but she wanted to stay there for a few more moments, to properly admire the way the warm morning sunlight highlighted Mark's features. She couldn't help but wonder, what she had done to have met him in her life, and have him as her husband. She finally decided to step in and announce her presence, "Need some help with that?" Cassie asked, her voice a gentle melody that blended with the quiet hum of the morning.Mark met her gaze in the mirror, a flicker of warmth in his eyes. "Always, my Lady! I want everything to be perfect, as I want to make a good impression."

"Connor, my friend, finally you are here!"With an enthusiastic greeting announcing his arrival, Connor Lawrence, who was freshly released on bail, approached Andrew with a sense of gratitude mixed with loyalty. He was ready to trade his own soul to satan in return for this bail, and while his own father had betrayed him, Anthony was the only pillar of support in his life.He didn't know how he was going to pay off this debt or express his gratitude, but he still tried to use his words to convey it. "Anthony, I owe you. Getting me out of that legal mess regarding that murder… it was no small feat. I'm here to show my appreciation for your support."Anthony leaned back, assessing Connor with a calculated gaze with a lazy smile on his lips. "Appreciation, you say? As far as I know, you have always been one for reciprocity, Connor. What do you have in mind?"Connor's eyes gleamed with a malevolent spark. "Mark Wright! The person who's been a thorn in our sides for too long. I'm ready
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -104 : Cheating
Sylvia had been frozen for a moment after hearing Andrew's voice, but on the other hand, Robert quickly concealed the transaction, a smooth smile on his face. "Andrew, my boy! Of course, join us! We were just discussing some exciting upcoming projects."As Andrew settled into the conversation, more drinks were brought to the table and the exchange continued, masked beneath layers of corporate small talk. However, the air held a subtle tension – a silent understanding that many dark secrets were lurking beneath the superficial friendship. Sylvia, glancing at Robert with a careful nod, subtly redirected the conversation toward more innocuous topics. "Andrew, have you seen the latest production plans? Robert and I, we were just talking about how we can achieve a more seamless collaboration between marketing and production so that our resources can be put to the best use."Andrew, eager to contribute, leaned in. "That's fantastic. Grandmother always emphasizes the importance of synerg

Mariella was already waiting for Mark to leave the house. She knew how easy it was to manipulate Cassie when her husband was not around her.And this was the perfectly right time to remind her of the debts she owed to the Holmes family, and specifically, she herself.After all, she had raised the girl to be manipulated by herself, at every turn, every moment of her life.Otherwise, why would she raise a completely unwanted child, if not to turn her into a personal cash cow?! That's why, as soon as Mark's car left the mansion, she headed towards Cassie's room. Seeing that the door was locked, she purposefully registered three persistent knocks on it, knowing that she had never done this even once in her entire life.The whole game was to make her feel bad, insecure and insensitive at once, while showing her how she was fortunate enough to get a grandmother like her.Otherwise, an unwanted, orphaned girl like her would have been left somewhere in the cold hard world to decay like a de
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 106 : Embarrassing memories
Violet sank into the plush chair in her room, her fingers tracing the edges of the mysterious envelope that held the reality of Cassie's life, which probably, she was also unaware of.The gentle shades of the dressing room lights created a pleasant ambience, highlighting the gravity of the revelations within her grasp. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for the journey that she had to take ahead.Clutched tightly in her hands were the damning pieces of evidence— the photographs, documents, and a letter— that hinted at a truth she was reluctant to accept, even after she had gone through all of them thrice.The weight of the unknown bore down on her shoulders, and the soft glow of the lights played on her face, casting shadows that mirrored the conflict within her heart.As Violet contemplated the next steps, the door creaked open, and her co- star George entered, his eyes immediately drawn to Violet's troubled expression. "Violet, what's going on? You look like you've seen a gh
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 107 : Doctor's appointment
Mariella stood up from her place after she was assured that she had successfully planted the seed of misunderstanding in Cassie's mind.Even though Cassie was struggling to believe the accuracy of her words on the surface, the tiny seedling of doubt had already germinated in her brain, and was ready to grow into a healthy plant in some hours, while the tree would also grow in some days.In any case, the apple of misunderstanding would always be the most poisonous apple of the world.Thinking this, she spoke her last sentence like she was placing the last nail on the coffin. "Cassie! My sweetheart, grandma just wants you to live happily and in the luxurious manner you are habituated to, since your childhood.If not for you, I would have grown old while living under any conditions God wants me to…"With a sigh, she got up from the chair and pretended to walk towards the door."Now, I think I should leave you alone; after all, it is almost time for your breakfast, and I have already del

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

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

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

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
