Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 036 – Power of a First-Rank Family
*****The crowd's jaws dropped and their eyes widened as though trying to pop out of their sockets, gaping at the person who had just revealed the old man’s identity.This moment of shock, however, only lasted briefly before everyone slowly turned their gazes toward the old man and his granddaughter.Although the crowd had initially sensed that the grandfather-granddaughter duo wasn’t ordinary—especially after knowing that they own bodyguards, something very uncommon in the city—they had never expected their identity to be to this extent and be this scary.After all, who in Riverton City doesn’t know about the one and only prominent Blackwood Family? None.…Like every other place, families in Riverton City are also classified into various ranks, starting from the ordinary-ranked families to the first-rank families, and in between, there are several other ranks, each progressively harder to attain than the previous.In fact, many families have been stuck in the ordinary rank si
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 037 – The Infuriated and Confused Crowd
*****Everyone stared in a trance at Xavier for what felt like an eternity after hearing his casual words, unable to believe their eyes as he had casually treated the card—an item that anyone else in the city would have revered like a heirloom. if ever gotten, then the crowd exchanged bewildered glances.“Did—did he actually just…?” someone gasped in disbelief after a moment.They were not only stunned that Xavier had treated the life-changing gift casually, but he had arrogantly acted as though it wasn't anything special, yet accepted it.“Ah! I want to kill him! I want to kill this bastard!” the crowd finally cried out in fury, convinced that Xavier was merely pretending to be mysterious.Only god knew how they would have reacted if they were to know that Xavier had truly not taken the present to heart and he had only accepted the old man’s goodwill in order to avoid disappointing him.Even Cassandra was seething with rage right now, too furious to find any words to express he
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 038 – Xavier’s Nervousness and Anticipation
*****While everyone else was eager to share the news of what they had witnessed that day and brag about seeing the patriarch of a first-rank family up close, Xavier, the one who should have been the most excited did not even take anything to heart and promptly erased the entire event from his mind the moment he got into a taxi.He quickly dismissed Cassandra and her grandfather from his mind, gave no thought to the cards he was handed, and contacting the old man became the last thing on his agenda.It wasn’t that Xavier looked down on them, no, he just couldn’t be troubled with matters that were of insignificance, a thought that would have caused a storm in Riverton City and make him the number one public enemy if known.…‘Knowing my father, he’d definitely be furious upon seeing me for all the distress And pain I've caused Mother over these past few years,’ Xavier thought to himself in the back seat of the taxi, his expression heavy and brows furrowed.After a moment of brood
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 039 – The Father’s Situation
*****Although Xavier had anticipated that his father’s appearance would have changed as well, he still assumed he’d be recognizable like his mother, but he was completely mistaken.This person he was observing was so unrecognizable that Xavier couldn’t believe he had already seen him twice in a row during his search for his father just now.It was a frail old man whose body was currently hunched with exhaustion as he sat weakly on the ground of the construction site, with beads of sweat trickling down his aged face.“Is—is this really my father or his uncle?” he mumbled with a hoarse voice that didn’t sound like his own, dazedly watching the old man in tattered and worn clothes that were smeared with dirt and dried cement.He subconsciously lowered his gaze and stared at his father’s hands, which used to be very strong and masculine but now calloused and constantly trembling as they rested on the edge of a heavy bucket of mixed cement whose weight seemed to be several times heav
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 040 – An Emotional Moment for the Father-and-Son Duo
***** As if time had stopped at the construction site, everyone was caught in mid-action at this moment, with each person frozen in a comical stance. Some were swinging their hammers, others pulling on ropes, some picking something from the ground, and so on. Apart from all of the pausing in unison, their gazes were currently fixated on Xavier as though he were an alien, gaping at him in both shock and astonishment. The scene, enveloped in an eerie silence lasted for what felt like an eternity before eventually, everyone returned to their senses and were covered to the brim in fear and trepidation. “He—did he just hit the little demon?” Everyone murmured at each other in shock and disbelief before hissing coldly, feeling a sudden sense of fear. “He’s done for,” they thought in unison, and just then, the Fatty whom Xavier had sent flying slowly began to sit up. In the next moment, however—gruh!—he spat out three teeth mixed with blood and his complexion paled signif
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 041 – Like Father Like Son
***** David had been too shocked upon seeing Xavier—a son he hadn’t expected to see for another fifteen years. This was why he momentarily forgot how he had hit the young demon, the son of the site manager who was a full-fledged Demon. Otherwise, he would have long pushed Xavier to escape. David jumped to his feet without regard for his frail body after hearing the Demon's voice and his face twisted with terror. He yanked Xavier up and shoved him hard toward the exit. “Run now! Run!!!” he cried out desperately to the still-confused Xavier, as though the person approaching was scarier than any demon. “Father, what’s the matter?” Xavier, perplexed by his father's terrified state and frantic action asked. But instead of answering, David continued to push him with all his might, practically begging Xavier to flee. However, as the owner of the voice that had struck fear into everyone was already nearby before his voice sounded, it was too late for Xavier to escape, even if he wanted to
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 042 – The Face-Changer Bartholomew
*****Everyone, except Xavier—who was clueless about the identity of the so-called Grandfather and granddaughter duo—was stunned upon hearing the reporter's words. They swiftly turned their attention to the young man on his knees, still gasping for breath, a clear indication that he had run over with all his strength. The workers then exchanged glances, their surprise evident.The following second, their eyes lit up with joy as though they had finally received a piece of good news after days of despair, leaving only the man who had almost captured Xavier grumpy and frustrated, wondering why the visitor had arrived at such an inconvenient time.Meanwhile, it took Bartholomew and Cornelius a moment longer to recover from their shock, and the instant they did, their faces became etched with shock, concern, and fear.“They didn’t inform me they were coming—what’s going on? Why are they suddenly here?” Bartholomew, who had been arrogant since his arrival, acting as though no one was a
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 043 – A Never Expected Situation
*****David froze upon hearing Barth’s icy and abrupt threat—In the following moment, a powerful chill ran down his spine, but before he could react, Barth shifted to the back and the smile on his face brightened even more."How many times do I need to remind you to stop thanking me? I will always say this: your well-being as laborers is my top priority," he proclaimed loudly, as though wanting someone to overhear, and no sooner had he done this than a teasing voice echoed. "You are so considerate of your workers but neglected to extend the same care to yourself and your son, why?" This voice sounded like a beautiful tune at a single hearing, so pleasing to the ears that as soon as Cornelius, who like his father, hadn’t looked toward the entrance since the report was delivered, heard it, he blushed from head to toe. As for Berth, a shocked expression crossed his face, and he quickly turned around, gasping in disbelief. "Young Mistress, Sir Patriarch!" He exclaimed, appea

Chapter 407 – I Hope You All Won’t Come To Regret This
*****“Perhaps you commoners have forgotten your place.” Julius’ voice dripped with scorn, his eyes flashing with unrestrained malice. “Perhaps we, the members of the ranked families, have become too lenient… too merciful. Maybe that’s why you insects have started to think you can defy the ranked families without consequence.”He unhurriedly straightened his posture, rolling his shoulders, and with a single movement, clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked like snapping bones.Then, a twisted smirk curled across his lips.“I haven’t had a proper warm-up in a while… Let me use you… as my punching bag.”He spat, his eyes flashing fiercely. However, just as he was about to launch a fist toward Xavier—“Young Master, please!”The anxious voice of the cashier, Brenda Hawthorne, pierced through the tension, causing Julius to halt.Upon looking at her, her previously composed demeanor had been replaced with urgency, her expression contorted into a mask of disdain and
Chapter 406 – Julius Cromwell’s Anger
*****Everyone stood frozen at this moment, their bodies stiffening as Xavier’s words reverberated through the vast, marble-floored space, sinking deep into their consciousness.For a few long, suffocating seconds, silence reigned in the bank. The occupants’ minds were still struggling to process the sheer weight of what he had just said.But before they could fully grasp it, before they could even draw a breath to react, Xavier’s voice sliced through the air once more.“You claimed that I want to challenge you. But tell me…” His gaze swept over the haughty, so-called young master with an unshakable coldness, his tone laced with contempt. “Who do you truly think you are that I’d waste even a sliver of my time on you?”His words detonated like an explosive, shattering the already brittle atmosphere. The onlookers felt as if an invisible force had struck them, rendering them momentarily disoriented.And yet, amidst the growing tension, Xavier remained eerily calm—his expression de
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
