Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 047 - Chaos in The Construction Site
***** For a moment, the construction site was engulfed in a deafening, eerie silence that made it possible to hear the sound of an ant crawling by. This lasted for what felt like an eternity before the face of the old man, who hadn’t spoken since Elias began, turned pale. He trembled all over, took a deep breath, and looked at Elias with mixed emotions. “What happens next?” he asked Elias, understanding the question, took a moment to organize his jumbled thoughts before letting out a sigh and pointing at the books he was holding. “I was ordered to hide these records after I reported your arrival to him, but I decided to check their contents out of curiosity,” he explained with a self-deprecating smile. “Who would have guessed that not only has your family never owed its workers before, but it pays the highest in the labor market and even allocated a large sum for my father’s treatment years ago, only for everything to end up in this monster’s pockets!” he concluded, g
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 048 – The Old Man’s Apology Token to David
*****By the time the police arrived, Barth had already been battered until nearly all his teeth were knocked out, and most of the bones in his body were fractured.Although he was well aware of the fate that awaited him after his arrest—that he would likely spend the next chunk of his years in prison—Barth wasn’t afraid at all of the cop's arrival. Instead, he became excited and relieved, treating the officers like his rescuers.“Hurry up and arrest me, please!” he sobbed desperately, seeing the furious and hostile glares of the mob directed at him, looking as though they couldn't wait to pounce and continue hitting him.The officers were speechless at his reaction, but they still went ahead and detained the enormous figure who was now drenched in his own blood. Since Barth was too large, he occupied the entire back seat of one car, while Cornelius, who tried resisting arrest and didn’t want to be captured, was forcefully locked in the rear of another vehicle.…..One would t
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 049 – David’s Dread
*****"I'm so mad!" Cassandra, who had been trying her best to suppress her rage since Xavier’s earlier arrogant utterance finally snarled with anger.She had initially decided to ignore and forget about him for the sake of his father, but now... She was filled to the brim with wrath, trembling slightly and grinding her teeth together with loathing and fury as she continued to recall Xavier’s face and egotisms.Meanwhile, seated next to Cassandra in the car, the Patriarch of the Blackwood family, sensing his granddaughter's rage couldn't help but smile faintly."Why are you mad though?" he asked ignorantly, and Cassandra instantly grounded her teeth against each other.“It was that douchebag’s arrogance and shameless behavior! He makes me sick." She forced out."How dare he threaten to make my Blackwood family lose everything?!”“Who does he think he is?!" She began to rant as though she were a dam that had just been released, her hatred for Xavier intensifying with each incident sh
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 050 – The Helpless Family of Three
*****While Xavier and his family of three were bounding together again after five years, a beautiful middle-aged woman in the living room of a villa was sharply scolding her husband without holding back."How is this fair, huh, tell me! How?!" she cried out pitifully.“Why is your family always determined to sacrifice our daughter’s life and happiness for their so-called greater good?""What is our crime anyway?” Her chest heaved and her eyes were filled with tears.“Why are they always so eager to use our only child as a pawn to secure a stronger alliance every time?!""That's not even it. Out of all the honorable men in this world, why that demon who is notorious for ruining women's lives?!" she yelled even more at the top of her lungs, her eyes turning bloodshot..“I…” Feeling his wife’s anguish, helplessness, unwillingness, and despair, Williams’ lips quivered.He wanted to say something, but Susan interrupted again, glaring fiercely at him. "This is your fault, you kno
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 051 – Getting Chased Off
*****“What’s going on?” Williams and Susan exchanged a perplexed gaze upon seeing Grace’s frantic demeanor.“Hope there is no problem?” Susan eventually inquired and just then, a relieved expression washed over Grace.“Yes, this is Grace,” she said composedly into the cell phone, acting as though she wasn’t the panicky one of a moment ago.Anyone hearing only her voice without seeing her right now might think she was composed and untroubled, but a single glance at her heaving chest would reveal it was merely a façade.The husband and wife duo who were intently studying her couldn’t help but exchange glances at this, after which they smiled wryly.‘Do we even ever truly know when our daughter is genuinely happy or upset?’ they thought in unison.Meanwhile, Grace, unaware of the thought going through her parents’ minds suddenly gasped, momentarily losing her composure to whatever the caller said.“You—you are available now?” She asked dumbly, truly surprised as she had just mad
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 052 – David & Laura’s Plan
*****Still in the VIP ward.Seated beside Laura on the bed, David who was still utterly confused glanced at his wife. “This jade beauty you wouldn’t stop talking about, how sure are you that something is really going on between her and our son though?” He asked seriously and Laura’s eyes lit up.“My womanly intuition,” she responded eagerly, throwing David off-guard.“You…”“You should know that my instincts are rarely ever wrong, right?” She inquired and David, who was on the verge of challenging her paused for a moment before finally nodding his head.“It would be a wonderful thing then,” he said after which he also became excited, his eyes brightening like those of his wife.“I thought I’d start searching for a wife for him after which I would give them the villa I was given today as their wedding present,” he mumbled with a sigh, his eyes filling with unshed tears, but just then, Laura, who heard what her husband just said stared blankly at him.“The Villa you were given?
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 053 – Exploiting The Public’s Emotion
*****Xavier’s eyes instantly rose upon hearing this remark while the inside of the huge, magnificent, and well-lit hall turned dead silent in an instant.Several things could cause discrimination in Riverton City and among them is being an ex-convict, a label akin to a blot on something already filthy to the citizens.Whether they were eating, conversing, walking, or drinking, everyone slowly turned their heads, glancing at the speaker—an averagely beautiful lady, who currently had her fingers interlaced with that of a short guy in an Armani suit as she stood, gaping in a particular direction with unmistakable disdain and loathing.“Bi—big sister, what—what did you just say?” A young boy of about four years old, who had just been boasting to his parents about how everyone in his class except himself was frightened when their teacher told them stories of how scary prisoners are, stammered in fear.Jennifer glanced at the boy before looking at everyone else and the instant she saw
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 054 – The Professional Female Manager
*****The moment Xavier heard the pot-bellied manager’s order, his eyes lifted, and a faint, playful, cold grin spread across his lips.He initially wasn’t mad at all despite the crowd’s unreasonable hatred as he had already anticipated reactions like that before he left prison while for Jennifer, he was just more disappointed in himself for having been blind, but now…Watching the security guards approaching him to throw him out as ordered, he decided to act—when suddenly the elegant female manager, who hadn’t said much since her arrival stepped forward and blocked their path.Being the most beloved of all the restaurant workers, the security guards immediately stopped without hesitation. They even took a step back, and with that, Janet acknowledged them with a gentle nod before addressing the perplexed customers who were staring at her and murmuring.“Although I don’t know the reason behind your displeasure, I apologize,” she began, prompting the crowd to quiet down, after whic

Chapter 464 – The Crowd Finally Accepting Their Defeat
*****Everyone stared, slack-jawed from Xavier to Miss Aria, her words echoing endlessly in their minds.Yet, seemingly unfazed, Aria only gazed calmly at Xavier, waiting for his reaction.But...She would be waiting forever, because, as it turned out, Xavier wasn't going to react at all.Of course, Xavier wasn’t a fool.How could he not understand what the higher-ups of High Fashion were trying to do?They were obviously desperately trying to tie down a big fish, unwilling to let the customer who had just spent fifty million dollars walk away scot-free.What stupid "sole control rights"? What "50% off every future purchase"?All of it — every so-called benefit — was just bait to ensure Xavier would make High Fashion his exclusive brand for spending, splurging, and showing off his wealth.However, it seemed Xavier was the only one who immediately grasped this, or... no, everyone else understood it too.They were just simply too blinded by the sheer flex.After all, what ki
Chapter 463 – A True King
*****"The volume of items you purchased is so enormous that… that it will take more than a full day just to pack them. Moreover, we’ll need a long truck to transport everything."Dead silence fell over the room once again, and every heart skipped a beat.'The volume of the purchased items wouldn't even fit in regular transport.'‘If that wasn't the ultimate flex, then what was?’Around him, the women, who moments ago had sneered and laughed, were now gazing at Xavier with hearts in their eyes, their stares practically devouring him.‘So handsome! So powerful!’Daisy, the young lady who had been mocked in the Dior store earlier for not knowing about High Fashion, could barely restrain herself.Her heart hammered wildly against her ribs as she fantasized about throwing herself into Xavier’s arms.Their boyfriends, their male companions, noticed this shift, and their faces turned an ugly shade of green.But none of them dared to voice their anger.Not a single one, because th
Chapter 462 – The Best Form of Revenge
*****Meanwhile, Miss Lin, the elegant Dior’s supervisor.Right now, her face was pale, her usually sharp eyes dulled with regret.She had instantly believed Roxie's story and had suggested Amelia’s firing without a second thought—all because she, too, had assumed Xavier was a pauper unworthy of patience.‘Would things have been different if I hadn't judged him so quickly?’ The thought gnawed at her, biting into her pride, her stomach churning.Yet no tears came. Only a deep, hollow sense of dread.Meanwhile, standing just a few steps away, Aria Wynn—the unflappable supervisor of High Fashion—was no better.For the first time in her professional life, her mind was in chaos.Aria, who had built her reputation on her calm, her poise, and her unshakable demeanor, was now battling the overwhelming urge to simply collapse into a chair.She tried everything to steady herself—deep breaths, mental chants, tightening her fists—but nothing worked.Finally, she gave up.Instead, she s
Chapter 461 – All Pleading For Forgiveness
*****Never in her life had Roxie imagined she would one day kneel down in public, kowtowing, groveling, and begging at someone’s feet—much less offering herself as a servant.Yet here she was.And the worst part?She hadn’t even realized it.If anything, right now, Roxie was trapped in a storm of devastation, pain, and unbearable regret, unable to comprehend how things had spiraled so horrifically out of control.Just some minutes ago, Xavier and his parents had walked into her store of their own volition… calm, polite, and willing to spend their money there.But she and everyone there, blinded by prejudice and contempt for anyone who looked poor, had chased the family of four away as though they were nothing but filth tarnishing the presence of the wealthy ones.And now?Not only had she lost the opportunity to earn a million and a half dollars in commission alone, but she had also thrown away the chance for a promotion she had always longed for—dreamed of.No, worse.She
Chapter 460 – I’ll Act As Your Servant
*****The receipt machine had long since fallen silent, and now the entire room followed suit.‘That’s true,’ everyone thought in unison.If Dior hadn’t turned Xavier and his family away if they had simply treated them with basic respect, that fifty million dollars would have been their sale.The realization hit like a truck and in the next instant, pity welled up among the spectators—not for Xavier, not for Amelia, but for Dior’s boutique because it was their loss.How could they be so blind?But the person almost feeling the most pain?Undoubtedly, it was Miss Lin, the supervisor of Dior’s boutique.Up until now, she had been frozen, stuck somewhere between shame and horror.But now, now that the full implications had sunk in—her face turned ghostly pale.Her mouth opened and closed wordlessly as she stared at Roxie—the very person responsible for this catastrophe."You… you…" she stammered, raising a trembling hand to point at the woman. "What have you… what have you don
Chapter 459 – Shock In The Air II
*****Having been forced to fend for herself since she was old enough to walk, Little Lola knew all too well the value of money.Fifty million dollars, however, was a number too vast for her young mind to grasp.Yet none of that mattered.She didn’t need to understand the math to revel in the moment.She had witnessed how these so-called "adults" had sneered at her uncle, spat venom at her adopted grandparents, and treated them like dirt beneath their feet.Now?Now she was grinning from ear to ear, her little chest puffed up with pride, her cheeks practically glowing as she soaked in the stunned faces around her.Justice tasted sweet, even if she couldn’t calculate the exact price tag.And finally—Miss Aria Wynn, High Fashion’s supervisor.To be fair, although Miss Aria Wynn had remained composed throughout the drama, her elegant posture unwavering, that didn’t mean she was immune to doubt.Even she—sharp, astute, and battle-hardened in the world of luxury fashion had ne
Chapter 458 – Shock In The Air
*****‘Payment successful?’The simple, mechanical phrase echoed like a thunderclap in everyone’s mind, reverberating again and again.Absolute disbelief filled the store.No one! Not a single soul in the room—not even Xavier’s parents had thought the payment would ever succeed.That amount of money… it wasn’t something ordinary people even dreamed of seeing in a bank account. And even if, by some miracle, they had it, who in their right mind would drop it all on clothing?It was the kind of wealth that could elevate a struggling family into the ranks of the upper class overnight.Yet, here it was—casually spent on nothing tangible, but… clothing.The silence that gripped the boutique was deafening.No one blinked.No one breathed.No one even dared to think.The only sound was that of the receipt printer, whirring tirelessly as it spat out a long, seemingly endless ribbon of proof.Proof that none of them could deny.The receipt unspooled like a slow-motion declaration
Chapter 457 – Payment Successful
*****“Mister,” Miss Aria Wynn’s gentle yet commanding voice interrupted. “Are you still interested in completing the transaction?”The question, so casually spoken, instantly landed like a thunderclap in every ear.Everyone, no matter who fell silent again, and then they turned to the poised supervisor, wondering what her intentions were.Ultimately, someone whispered, “She’s… probably just trying to confirm the manager’s theory.”“Huh”The murmur spread, reaching every ear, and enlightenment sparked.The employees of Dior, especially those who had long coveted Amelia’s enviable position, brightened with anticipation.Roxie in particular lit up like a Christmas tree.She had long been watching Amelia from the sidelines, green with envy.While her own role was capped at the level of boutique manager, Amelia, who barely even worked, lived in luxury.Her paycheck? It was five times her own, and yet she never even lifted a finger, never pitched in, and never hustled.It was a
Chapter 456 – Roxie Speculation II
*****All attention veered to Roxie, whose words had taken on an almost theatrical flair.Miss Aria raised a brow, unimpressed but curious. “Please, elaborate.”Roxie’s face lit up like she had just been invited to audition for a lead role.Then, with pride swelling in her chest, she jabbed a finger toward Amelia.“If my thought is correct… which most definitely is, she must’ve noticed how our boutique kicked out this bunch of beggars. So, she’s trying to fabricate an extravagant sale to protect her job.”“Hmmm…” all brows rose, and Roxie continued.“She hasn’t made a single sale since she joined your company. Think about it. If she stages this fake purchase, even if the transaction fails, it’ll look like she’s indispensable, since the price of this purchase is something none had ever achieved before.”Roxie smirked, her voice brimming with smugness.“When the higher-ups at High Fashion see a failed transaction notification for fifty million dollars, they’ll most likely assum
