Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 017 – An Unexpected Change in Development
***** “You—” Xavier froze in his tracks and his eyes widened significantly, seeing the scary scene before him. Unlike what Frosh Junior had dreaded that caused him to take Laura hostage, Xavier hadn’t even had him in mind. Instead, he had merely wanted to help his mother back to her feet, yet… Following Xavier’s shock, strong tremors coursed through his body and a cold sweat covered him. He then glanced urgently at his mother, only to find her trembling with a look of horror and helplessness, with sweat rolling down the side of her face as she cautiously watched the knife pressed against her neck. ‘How—how dare he?! How dare he?!! How—how dare he?!!!’ His thoughts raced with rage as he trembled frantically, fixing a death glare on Frosh Junior who has now become relieved—wearing a mockery expression on his face. Following Xavier’s rage, he released a terrifying aura and cast Frosh Junior a death glare that frightened him to the core. Frosh Junior felt another wave of tr
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 018 – Frosh Junior’s Abrupt Fear
***** The entire world seemed to freeze in an instant and everyone whether on the street, at their home, or at their various workplaces shivered slightly for no reason, some wondering where the sudden coldness originated from. Xavier, the originator of this was currently in a state of disbelief as stared in a daze. His heart had not resumed working and he had long forgotten how to breathe, causing him to experience a suffocating sensation as he stared blankly at his mother’s bloodied neck. This lasted for what felt like an eternity before eventually, he breathed shakily and began to tremble hysterically, looking like someone who had been locked away inside a millennia-year-old iceberg. “No… no… no!” he mumbled frantically to himself, his vacant and lifeless eyes getting filled with dread. “How could this be?!” He finally let out a painful cry that sounded like that of an injured king of the jungle, making all the hearers feel a strong heartache. The two gangsters who ha
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 019 – Another Unexpected Situation
***** For the second time in just a matter of minutes, Frosh Junior finally felt the true sense of fear and death gripping his heart, but this time, very close and there was no way he could dodge it. “Help!!!!!” He suddenly cried out before he could stop himself, something he had never thought he would do in his life. Xavier’s eyes grew several times colder seeing this, then he decided to waste no more time when without any forewarning, the sound of rushed footsteps echoed, followed by confused voices. He slowly lifted his head just in time to see the once-empty street becoming filled with a confused crowd of people who immediately stopped in their tracks upon seeing the scene before them. Xavier quickly recognized the newcomers as the residents of the street. “You really think those people would be able to stop me?” he slowly asked with a voice heavily laced with derision as he glanced back at Frosh Junior. The very next second, his eyes hardened with viciousness. “You c
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 020 – Frosh’s Sudden Arrival
***** The entire world seemed to go silent momentarily, with everyone around Xavier staring in at the fallen arm in trance and acting as though their soul had left their bodies. This lasted for several seconds before they slowly looked toward the spot where the arm should have been, only to see a continuous fountain of blood gushing out. In the next moment, Laura was stunned, the crowd was stunned, and most especially, Frosh Junior. He stared blankly at the twitching arm on the ground for a long time, unable to react before slowly turning his gaze to Xavier's emotionless face, which now appeared demonic. He had never expected Xavier to go ahead and still act despite all the warnings he had received from everyone, especially from his own mother. “You…” he dazedly pointed at him with a finger from his other hand, trembling slightly. Frosh Junior had many questions he wanted to ask—like why Xavier was so ruthless to actually sever his arm, whether he wasn’t afraid of the con
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 021 – Like Older, Like Young
***** Like every other place, Riverton City also has its own share of dons—rulers of the underworld domains, and Frosh happens to be among the well-known ones, particularly in the slum area. He is recognized not only for his overprotectiveness toward his younger brother but also for his courage, ruthlessness, and, most notably, his status as a ranked fighter—one of the attributes that make one a fearsome figure in Riverton City. Frosh initially started as a low-level street thug, climbing to power after his brother was brutally assaulted for harassing the younger sister of a crime lord several times more powerful than him at that time. That night, Frosh secretly infiltrated the don’s home, eliminated him, and took over his territory, turning him into who he is today. The crowd, recalling this history, couldn't help but suddenly shudder, wondering what the madman—who had risked his life to kill someone far more powerful than himself simply because they had punished his broth
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 022 – An Astonishing Incident
***** "This…" Xavier, his mother, and the neighborhood residents were suddenly left in shock after hearing Frosh’s frosty words. Their jaws dropped afterward and they struggled to react for what felt like an eternity before eventually, their eyes widened significantly. ‘He—he would commit a mass murder because…’ Xavier thought with disbelief while the neighbors, who had tried looking for Frosh’s good grace earlier, became horrified. “M—master Frosh! Plea—please don’t kill me! I only came here to sightsee!” “Master Frosh, please mercy!” They began to wail desperately, knocking their heads against the floor while sobbing pitifully, but Frosh‘s murderous expression did not waiver a bit, instead, he stepped heartlessly and vicious forward while his men followed with menacing expressions on their faces. “I’ve always known my gossipy nature will be my end!!” “I shouldn't have left my grandchild’s breakfast to gossip!” The entire residents broke down, greatly regretting the
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 023 – Frosh’s Astonishment
***** “This—what’s going on?” The residents, momentarily stunned, exchanged bewildered glances before mumbling in unison, “How could those slum rats possibly be connected to someone whom even the legendary Master Frosh treats with respect, despite not being recognized?” ——- As earlier mentioned, Laura and her husband had spent most of their lives on this street, only relocating and returning within a matter of three years, so they knew nearly everyone in the neighborhood. Initially, the couple had been on friendly terms with almost everyone, but after their return, they were suddenly ostracized, loathed, and treated with contempt by everyone who constantly mocked them for falling from grace and raising a murderer. Even those who had tried to maintain a relationship with them at the start, believing they still had some of their child’s wealth, dropped all pretense upon seeing how miserable they had become, and as a result, the whole neighborhood—regardless of age or financial
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 024 - The Neighbors’ Plan
*****For a moment after the black Audio was gone, nobody could react and the entire area fell into an eerie silence, staring in disbelief and trying to wrap their brain around what had just happened while Frosh felt a sudden chill creeping through his veins. No matter what he did, he wasn't able to return to his senses, leaving his men helpless and confused after they returned to their senses until they exchanged glances, and then one of them carefully approached him. “B—boss, are we still following the original plan?” the person asked, breaking the deafening silence that had filled the area. The next second, the neighbors remembered their situation and broke out in a sweat, terrified to the core.They fearfully looked at Frosh and at the same time, Frosh’s eyes regained a bit of focus, but in the next second, his face turned charcoal black with rage, and his eyes became aggressive. “Silence!” He barked and sent out his palm, striking the terrified gang member on the chest

Chapter 405 – How Much Do You Think I Can Withdraw Using That Information From This Bank?
*****“You… you really are determined to cause trouble, aren’t you?” she snarled, her voice sharp enough to cut steel.Hearing her words, Xavier merely arched a brow at this, a trace of amusement flickering across his lips before he suppressed it.‘Me? Cause trouble?’The thought flitted across his mind, but he chose not to voice it. He simply let her words hang in the air, allowing them to fester in the thick, tension-choked silence.Brenda’s fury only escalated at this. Her entire body trembled, her jaw clenching so tightly it seemed moments away from snapping.How dare he?How dare this nobody demand that she, Brenda Hawthorne, walk over and personally pick up his card?How dare he threaten he would shut down this branch unless I was fired?Who does he think he is?The sheer audacity of it made her blood boil.But suppressing her rage, she turned sharply to Julius, her voice suddenly dripping with sickly sweet reverence.“Young Master Cromwell,” she addressed him smooth
Chapter 404 – You Are Really Determined To Cause Trouble, Aren’t You?
*****Every single person in the bank was struck speechless at this moment.Young master Julius Cromwell was frozen in place, his smirk wiped clean off his face.Brenda Hawthorne, the haughty cashier, gawked, her lips slightly parted as though words had failed her.Her colleagues, the waiting customers, and even the armed security guards—every last one of them—stood motionless, their gazes locked onto Xavier as if he were some mythical beast that had just emerged in their midst.With this, a suffocating tension wrapped around the entire bank like an iron chain. The air itself seemed to constrict, thick with disbelief.Moments ago, the place was filled with noise and chatter, but now? The silence was so absolute, so deafening, that it became more oppressive than the previous clamor.Seconds stretched unbearably long, each one dragging out the tension further.And then suddenly—“Interesting.”The word, uttered in an infuriatingly playful tone, shattered the silence like glass
Chapter 403 – Xavier’s Threat
*****"Although this is my first time meeting you," Julius, in flamboyant attire, spoke with an air of calculated leisure, his piercing gaze sweeping over Xavier from head to toe.The sheer repulsion in his eyes was unmistakable, as though he were looking at something filthy, something unworthy of existence."...And given your…” he drawled, clicking his lips, the disgust in his eyes evident. “…Extremely humble state, I doubt I'll ever have the misfortune of crossing paths with you again," he continued, his voice rich and pleasant to the ear, yet laced with unmistakable derision. "After all, I rarely find myself in the same space as... your kind."His tone, seemingly polite on the surface, was dripping with undisguised contempt.The implication of his words was crystal clear—Xavier was too poor, too insignificant to even exist in the same world as him.Of course, Xavier caught the meaning of his words instantly, yet his face remained impassive, betraying no reaction. His cold, un
Chapter 402 – Xavier’s Disbelief
*****"Ah!!! This is outrageous, and it badly infuriates me!”“You people are nothing but bullies!""How could such a place like this be this shamelessly biased?! We've been waiting for hours, and just because someone wealthy waltzes in, you chose to abandon us all to serve him without any iota of shame and remorse?!""Where is the fairness in this?!""I despise this bank with every fiber of my being!""I swear, I will make sure to spread the word of this disgraceful conduct to my friends, family, and every single person I have ever known! No one will ever trust this corrupt institution again!"Raging voices that overlapped each other continued reverberating throughout the bank, filling the air with sheer indignation.The furious customers standing in the endless queue behind Xavier glowered daggers at the cashier and the ostentatiously dressed man.Their collective fury was palpable—their faces flushed with rage and their eyes ablaze with hostility.Some had even clenched t
Chapter 401 – Bonus Chapter
*****[ A/N: To celebrate the major milestone of reaching chapter 400, here’s a bonus chapter! I wish I could upload more, but as I mentioned in earlier chapters, my schedule has been packed lately. So please bear with me on this one.Thanks again for your support!]—“Hey, boy! Where do you think you’re going?!”“You better not be thinking of cutting the line!”“The hell does this dude think he’s doing?”The room’s atmosphere tensed as multiple voices rose in indignation.Xavier, along with the others, instinctively turned toward the commotion.A man, likely in his early thirties, sauntered forward as though the world belonged to him. His designer-branded suit, a garish explosion of gold and navy blue, clung perfectly to his broad shoulders, and multiple diamond-studded rings glittered on his fingers.Despite the hostile murmurs from the queue, he strutted forward with an air of superiority, flashing a smug, self-satisfied grin.His sheer audacity made it evident that he w
Chapter 400 – The Overtly Arrogant Cashier
*****“Pardon?”Xavier couldn’t help but ask staring in a daze at Brenda, and just then, the lady finally lifted her gaze, her eyes unhurriedly dragging over Xavier from head to toe as if assessing his worth.Then, as if repulsed by what she saw, her lips slowly curled in open disdain.“Do I look like I’m playing here?” she sneered, her voice dripping with contempt.Xavier’s fingers flexed, his patience thinning at an alarming rate.Her voice sharpened further, loud and commanding, as though scolding an unruly dog.“You stand there and wait until I call you! You don’t just walk up like you own the place!”Her tone grated against Xavier’s nerves, and for a split second, his vision darkened.The bank had already tested him for hours. He had endured the horrendous service, the incompetence, the long wait, and the deafening complaints.But this?…….The moment the cashier, Brenda, snapped at Xavier, numerous heads turned in his direction, and immediately, some of Brenda’s colle
Chapter 399 – The Overcrowded Bank
*****It wasn’t long before they arrived at a bank, and as soon as Xavier stepped inside it, he was greeted by a sight that made his brows lift in mild surprise.The place was packed.Long, winding queues stretched across the entire hall, snaking their way to the very back, as though every single person in the city had chosen this exact morning to make a withdrawal.‘Wow.’His eyes swept over the seemingly endless lines of people, amusement flickering across his features.‘What in the world? Are they handing out free money today, or does everyone just happen to be in dire need of cash at the exact same time?’…….At this very moment, Xavier stood motionless, his gaze fixed on the seemingly endless lines stretching across the bank’s interior.A slight frown formed on his face as he scanned the room, his sharp eyes darting from one queue to another, searching—hoping—for the shortest one.Yet, to his dismay, they were all excruciatingly long.The countless air conditioning mac
Chapter 398 – The Soldier’s Respect
*****Xavier woke up very early that morning, his mind already set on the tasks ahead.Without a moment’s delay, he washed himself clean and reached for the only available attire in his possession—the very same outfit he had worn upon his release from prison.Although freshly laundered, it still carried a faint shadow of his past, as if it bore silent witness to the life he had left behind.‘I really need to find time to purchase some proper clothing,’ he mused to himself, though he wasn’t particularly eager about shopping for attire.Despite his usual indifference and dislike for extravagant clothing, the idea of wearing the same plain and uninspiring outfit unsettled him. Now slightly faded, the attire seemed to radiate mediocrity, resembling something a beggar might wear.To be honest, it wasn’t the absence of luxury that troubled him, but what the dress itself represented—a lingering tie to a past he was determined to leave behind.Above all, what unsettled him most was the
Chapter 397 – The Couple’s Plan For Revenge
*****“I’m curious…” Victor muttered suddenly, glancing at Jennifer after hearing her words. “How did he make that soldier obey him like that? It wasn’t just respect—it was absolute deference. Could it be… he has an identity you don’t know about?”“This…”Jennifer faltered.She had been so blinded by hatred just now that she hadn’t considered it. But now…She recalled the soldier’s words, his tone, the way he had bowed his head.Her brows furrowed, and for the first time, uncertainty flickered in her gaze.But then, as if crushing the thought beneath her heel, she let out a scornful laugh.“You think that useless loser is anything special?”Victor didn’t answer, but his hesitation spoke volumes.Jennifer sneered at this. “You… You actually thought that nobody was someone important? What a joke!”Her laughter grew louder, and harsher until it turned into something bordering on hysteria.She laughed until her sides ached until tears pricked her eyes—not from sadness, but fro
