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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 025 - The Ice Queen With The Heart of Gold
***** ‘Why does it feel like she’s always glaring at me?’ Xavier suddenly wondered as he glanced at the lady addressed as Dorothy behind the steering wheel, only to see her entirely focused. ‘Could I have been wrong?’ He wondered after noticing that the lady wasn’t even looking at him at all. Just as he was about to ignore the thought and mind his business, however, thinking he was only being paranoid, he caught sight of a pair of eyes sending a cold and scornful glare in his direction from the rear mirror. ‘I wasn’t imagining things,’ he thought helplessly, his frown deepening as he wondered if he had ever met or known the lady before. After pondering for a moment but failing to recall any memory of her, Xavier decided to dismiss the thought and turned his attention back to his mother lying on his lap, whose neck he was holding to prevent further blood loss. His heart sank again upon seeing her like this. Xavier clenched his teeth and his eyes flashed murderously. ‘I
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 026 - Relief in One Place and Anguish in Another
*****“Grace Sky… Sky Group,” Xavier mumbled as he stared at the black and golden card in his hand, then turned it over and stared at the mobile number written there after which he stowed the card away, intending to call Grace after his mother recovered. This was what Xavier was thinking after Grace and her secretary, who seemed to hate him for no reason har disappeared when the door to his mother’s ward opened.Xavier hurriedly raised his head and upon seeing that it was the doctor who had entered not long ago exiting while removing the gloves from his hands, he forgot the thought in his mind and instantly stepped forward with concern. “How is my mother now?” he asked hurriedly, jolting the doctor, who was looking around as though searching for something, back to his senses. “Oh, I’ve stitched the cut on her neck, and she’s already receiving blood to replace what she lost.” “That—that’s great,” Xavier muttered and his rigid muscles unconsciously relaxed, feeling the immense
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 027 - An Excited Frosh
****** Inside the VIP hospital room that was equipped with all the basic amenities of a bedroom, Frosh, unaware of what his men were currently thinking or discussing, stood awkwardly still, appearing scared to advance. He no longer had the menacing aura of a don who had terrorized many; instead, he looked so frail, pale, and helpless at this moment, staring at the dull eyes of his blood-drained, pale brother lying pitifully and lifelessly on the bed. His legs felt too heavy at this moment to move, seeing the heavily bandaged stump where Frosh Junior’s arm used to be. This continued for what felt like an eternity before Frosh eventually clenched his fists and pushed himself to take a step forward. Upon doing so, he forced open his dry and heavy, calling out hoarsely, "Br—brother." Although his voice wasn’t loud, instead just barely above audible, Frosh Junior, whose spirit seemed to have long departed his body and who hadn’t heard even when Frosh entered, was jolted aw
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 028 - The Reason Behind Frosh’s Excitment
***** ‘He still dared to be excited?’ Frosh Junior, on the bed, stared at his elder brother in disbelief and felt he was dreaming. He wanted to wipe his eyes and make sure he was seeing right, but then nothing would move, only making him realize that he had tried moving an empty air, as he was nothing more than a one-armed person now. In the next second, Frosh Junior’s eyes became filled with hatred as he growled. “Why are you laughing?!” Frosh was badly startled by this and he slowly stopped, focusing his gaze on his brother, confused about his sudden source of rage. “I—” “Are you that happy that I’m now in this condition and will no longer create trouble for you?” Frosh Junior inquired aggressively, making his elder brother freeze completely. Frosh couldn’t act nor react for a moment, instead, he stared blankly at his younger brother, refusing to believe he would think the way he just did. “You—you thought I was happy with your condition?“ He asked blankly, but then

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
