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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 061 – An Unexpected Marriage Proposal
*****Inside a VIP dining lounge."Thank you." Xavier, unaware that his heartless ex-girlfriend and Victor had already plotted his downfall, suddenly spoke sincerely, gazing at Grace with an expression that was hard to read.Grace, hearing Xavier's words, which felt so genuine they seemed to be the most sincere words she had ever heard in her life, paused briefly, staring back at him, but then her countenance turned icy-cold again."Don’t mention it," she replied dismissively, before gently and elegantly taking her seat.Xavier, hearing her question remained silent for a second before shaking his head."This is the second time you've helped me today, and neither was a small matter," he admitted with a sigh, staring unflinchingly at the icy-cold beauty before him.Although Xavier could have managed on his own in both situations, Grace’s assistance had saved him a great deal of time and stress, so, he recognized that he owed her for that, and since he disliked feeling indebted, h
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 062 – Conclusion
***** The document Grace handed to Xavier was a marriage contract proposal, detailing various clauses, including but not limited to Xavier's responsibilities within the marriage and what he would gain at the end if he agreed to it. Xavier read the contract more than once to make sure he hadn’t misread it, but even then, he remained utterly perplexed. “Why though?” He asked, his expression puzzled. “Why?” Grace mumbled blankly to herself, seeing his confused face after which she let out a small sigh. "This is the only way I can save myself," she explained, which only baffled Xavier further. Grace took a deep breath, her face blank and detached. "There’s a massive project my family is eager to win because it could elevate its position within the second rank," she began, pausing briefly to make sure Xavier was following before continuing in a calm, measured tone. "But... it's a project that many families are vying for, particularly those supported by first-rank powerhouses, and sin
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 063 – The Excited Parents
*****By the time Xavier returned to the hospital, it was already very late into the night and his parents were already fast slept.‘How I wish I could find a genuine love like theirs, a love that never dwindles, no matter how old we both become or what happens,’ he thought with a sigh, gazing at his peacefully sleeping parents.Xavier sighed emotionally after a second and then he quietly excused them, not wanting to disrupt their sleep.He wandered to the spacious reception area after a moment of thought and took a long chair in the back, lying down on it.Although the hospital policy did not allow people to sleep in the reception, no one said anything to Xavier, given the connection they assumed he had to Grace, the queen of the business world.Xavier, having no idea that he had just broken the hospital’s rules soon fell asleep no sooner had he laid down.…Around 5 – 6 am the following morning, the eyes of Xavier, who had long honed his instinct to the very peak possible su
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 064 – An Attack Plan in The Underground Fighting Club
*****While Xavier was helplessly answering his mother’s endless questions, inside a crowded and rowdy underground fighting club that was filled with disgusting and heavy stenches, a bunch of sweaty gangsters with different sorts of menacing tattoos on their skins stood in agitation, mumbling listlessly to one another.“Silence!” A muscularly built man, who stood on a platform, constantly releasing dark, scary killing intent, who had gathered his men together abruptly barked and in the next instant, the bunch of menacing-looking thugs trembled all over and subconsciously focused their attention toward the platform.Jazzy, whose eyes were still crimson red and burning with pure hatred stared through the crowd below him, after which he clenched his fists aggressively.“I’ve just gotten all the information related to that motherfuk*r who turned my brother into a sudden monk,” he announced with a voice dripping with hatred, madness, and killing intent, and in the following second, all
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 065 – David’s Anger

David and Laura, hearing their son’s question exchanged smiling gazes after which David intertwined his fingers with Laura’s, and together, they nodded their heads to Xavier. "But..." Xavier began, intending to protest, but then his mother gently interrupted him with her kind and soothing voice. “Didn’t the two of us already have a house?” she asked, and before Xavier could reply, she continued. “As your father explained it, the house was given because of you, so it’s only fair that we pass it on to you and your wife, especially since your father and I can't live in two places at once. You wouldn’t want to live i
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 066 – Grace’s Strange Displeasure
*****"Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Grace abruptly mumbled nervously, standing beside her sleek black car.Today, she was dressed in a formal attire of lemon-green palazzo and matching blazer, looking so stunning, like the goddess of the business world she was known for.She glanced around once more, for what felt like the hundredth time, and when she still couldn't spot the person she was waiting for; she began to fidget anxiously."Could it be he has forgotten?" she suddenly wondered after which she swallowed hard. "Or... could—could it be he wants to go back on his word?"A whirlwind of thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and each one only increased her tension.Beside her, Dorothy, also elegantly dressed in formal attire, silently observed Grace, momentarily questioning whether this was still the same composed boss she knew—someone who would never lose her cool or panic, regardless of the circumstances. Finally, she sighed inwardly, understanding the reason beh

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
