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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 055 – Jennifer Trap
*****“This…” Everyone gaped dumbly at Janet, acting as though they hadn’t heard what she just said right.Even Xavier was struck dumb.Although the Amodu family is the same as trash to the current him, he had thought the female manager would have been tempted to get its favor, given its authority as a third-ranked family, but yet…A look of interest abruptly appeared on his face while the pot-bellied manager shook, his stomach trembling from rage.Despite already knowing Janet’s uncaring attitude right from the onset, even he had never expected her to disregard such a free pie from heaven just like that.His breathing became labored as he glared ferociously at her. “What the heck do you think you are doing?” He growled beneath his voice, trembling all over.“You could have at least used this to give me a face if you don’t need any favor!” He added angrily, but Janet, acting as though she couldn’t feel he was about to burst from rage ignored him, her composed and elegant smile
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 056 – The Arrival of a Cold Goddess
*****For a moment, nobody could react, staring dazedly as though time and space had stopped for them.This stillness lingered for a moment before suddenly; “Hahahaha!”Jennifer, who had also been taken aback and thunderstruck by Xavier’s unexpected response erupted with laughter, giggling so hard as though she had just heard the most amusing joke in the universe.“I knew it!” She shrieked loudly, staring at Xavier as though he was one kind of an interesting thing, after which she cast a mockery glance at Janet.“Look who you were defending. Someone who only came to dine and dash. Hahaha!” She jeered.“We warned you he was nothing but a common prisoner who doesn’t belong among normal human beings, but you insisted on defending him. What are you going to do now that you have realized his true nature?” she added further, asking a question that made Janet's face flush slightly with embarrassment.This was the most humiliating thing she had ever felt in her life, and it only grew w

Chapter 409 – Your Branch Is Officially Shut Down
*****Ring!A sudden, loud, shrill sound pierced the air in the office, jolting Gregory so violently that his soul nearly leaped out of his chest.His heart pounded frantically in his chest, and his eyes subconsciously darted toward his desk in the following second.It was his cell phone that was ringing."Who is so jobless enough to be calling me early this morning?" he muttered.He hesitated before glancing at the screen, but seeing as it was his private number, he immediately dismissed the call.If it wasn’t work-related, then it wasn’t a priority. Right now, his only concern was saving his damn branch.Yet…The phone rang again.And again.Each time louder, more persistent.Gregory’s eyebrows finally knitted together in frustration, but he still chose to ignore the nonstop ringing. He figured the caller would eventually give up once they realized he wasn’t going to pick up.But… he was completely far from right.The phone kept ringing.And ringing.Until suddenly…
Chapter 408 – Pinnacle Bank, Riverton City’s Manager
*****"That’s right, sir. I assure you that our interest rate is practically nonexistent—just a mere 5% on the borrowed sum."Inside a well-furnished office, a distinguished middle-aged man spoke into the phone, his tone unwaveringly confident.But in the following second, upon hearing the words from the phone, a stunned expression appeared on his face as his lips carefully parted."Ano… another bank offered you as low as 4.5%?" His eyebrows shot up, and a flicker of helplessness crossed his face, but he quickly masked it with a composed and persuasive voice."Why don’t you visit us first? I’m certain we can negotiate something favorable. In fact, I might even offer you an interest rate lower than what they promised," he suggested smoothly.For the next few moments, the man continued his efforts, speaking in an increasingly compelling tone, determined to sway the person on the other end of the line.However, despite his best attempts, it was clear he had failed.The second he
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
