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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 057 – An Unexpected Turn of Events for The Crowd
*****The breathing of all the men quickened while the ladies were utterly amazed, seeing this lady, whose beauty was several times above even A-list actresses.“Who is she?” A guy finally whispered quietly, unable to keep his composure again and because the hall was silent at this moment, the question was heard clearly by all, making them gaze at the speaker as though he were an alien.“You—you don’t know Miss Grace, Miss Grace Sky?” A lady inquired with disbelief and upon hearing this name, the guy was stunned.“The same Miss Grace Sky that was just discussed?” He mumbled dazedly, wondering what sort of coincidence had just occurred, and just then, the Pot-bellied manager snapped back to his reality, and his face instantly adopted a fawning expression as he rushed toward the newcomer."I had no idea you’d be visiting today... Welcome, Miss Sky," he said with a deferential tone, his earlier arrogance disappearing completely.“This—” the guy, who was still pondering the level of
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 058 – Jennifer’s Atrocities Revealed
*****The one who shattered the silence was the pot-bellied manager, badly jolting everyone back to reality, but since the question he just asked was what was in their minds, they Instantly stared intently at Grace in utter bewilderment.Grace, seeing all these gazes frowned.She did not appreciate all the stares being directed at her as they made her uncomfortable, but still, knowing the owner was only curious about whom she was addressing, a reason she had no idea about, she subtly nodded her head after a moment before looking back at Xavier.“Let’s go,” she said emotionlessly, and Xavier, who had remained composed and unbothered by everything going on since the beginning nodded his head casually.He glanced at the crowd and finally decided to speak up when suddenly; “Nonsense!”An outcry echoed, breaking the silliness caused by Grace’s response and her subsequent action.Everyone was startled awake and quickly looked at the owner of the furious cry. Behold, it belonged to Je
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 059 – Jennifer & Victor’s Embarrassment
***** “What—what are you talking about?” Jennifer now drenched in buckets of sweat stammered with uneasiness. She had never, not even in her wildest imagination expected Grace to know all she had just exposed, and for this reason, she was enveloped in strong goosebumps while Grace, hearing the question smirked playfully. "I simply stated how you did not only betrayed the savior who defended you but also how you chose to turn your back on him for the very beast he saved you from, and how you decided to slander and defame him," Grace replied, helping the crowd realize they had not misheard her the first time. After saying this, Grace’s expression changed swiftly again, becoming icy and severe, as if she were not the same person who had just smirked, making a strong adrenaline crawl down Jennifer’s spine. “Try this nonsense with me again,” She spat coldly with a threatening tone, then not finishing her sentence, turned toward the elevator and walked away, leaving behind a silenc
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 060 – The Couple’s Evil Plan
*****“Did—did I just hear that idiotic tank of water blacklist my family?” Victor, whose mind suddenly felt empty abruptly stuttered, almost tripping over his own feet.His blood drained in an instant and he felt he might faint, knowing how massively this would affect him later.As for Jennifer, she couldn't have been any paler than she already was—her face was ghostly white.Ever since she and Victor had started dating, tonight was the first time he had invited her to dine at the restaurant she had long dreamed of visiting, and she had been boasting about this night for weeks. She had planned to take dozens of photos, post them on all her social media accounts, and flaunt them, but now...“It—it was that loser’s fault!” she suddenly spat viciously, her teeth clenched tightly against each other, and her eyes nearly blazing with hatred.“I—I want to destroy him! I—I want to kill him!” She forced out hysterically through gritted teeth, trembling all over as she recalled all th

Chapter 411 – Find The Powerhouse and Seek Forgiveness
*****“You inherited one of the most successful banks in all of Riverton City,” the caller continued, his voice laced with venom, not giving Gregory the chance to respond. “Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch. A top performer with sky-high ROI. And what did you do with it? You turned it into a graveyard for profit in less than three years.”“I…” Gregory’s lips parted again, but his voice faltered into nothing.The voice on the phone did not allow him time to defend himself.“And on top of that, somehow—somehow—you still managed to offend an entity so powerful that they could dismantle our entire financial institution with a single phone call. Tell me, Gregory, how does a man like you pull that off? You’ve just made history.”The words were heavily coated with thick sarcasm, but Gregory barely registered them.His brain had once again short-circuited.‘My branch… provoked someone capable of collapsing the entire bank? How? When? Where?’‘Just how in the good world
Chapter 410 – Gregory’s Disbelief
*****"All of you are to vacate the premises immediately. A team has already been dispatched to seal the building. And if any of you are still inside when they arrive, they will have full authority to lock you in. Permanently."These words reverberated in Gregory Langston, the branch manager of Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch’s mindFollowing this:One heartbeat—dead silence.Two heartbeats—utter stillness.Three heartbeats—He stood utterly frozen in his office, his body rigid, and his eyes glazed over like those of a man who had just witnessed his world collapse.His limbs remained still in place, stiff as stone, and his pupils stared blankly ahead—soulless, vacant. It was as if the very essence had been ripped from him, leaving behind a mere husk in a suit.An oppressive stillness consumed the office like a thick fog, heavy and suffocating, yet Gregory remained completely unaware.His breath barely came out as his ears continued ringing with the echo of
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
