Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 071 – Lucius’s Brazzeness
*****“This…” Lucius, his entourage, and Xavier were left utterly stunned by Honey’s sudden words, while Mason, noticing Lucius’s bewildered expression quickly jumped in."Young Master Lucius, how do you know my cousin has always dreamed of getting an alpha male—someone who would take full control of her life?" he asked, his voice trembling with excitement."She hasn’t married all these years despite the large number of suitors because every man she’s met has been trying to treat her like a queen, something she dislikes with passion,” he added upon seeing Lucius’s furrowed brows.Mason acted as though he were the one receiving a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Well, in his mind, he was the one receiving it, knowing fully well that with Grace out of the way, not only would he gain full control of the Sky family and its assets—but he’d also be in complete authority over the multi-million-dollar project Lucius was going to buy Grace with.Thinking this, a shiver of excitement ran d
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 072 – One Surprise After The Other
*****For a moment, everyone stared at Grace in a stupor, but then the Sky family, who had already anticipated her refusal exchanged a knowing smile.‘I would have thought you had been possessed or switched body if you had agreed straight away,’ they mused silently, smirking to themselves.Lucius, however, was frowning right now, his eyes locked expressionlessly at Grace.“You said the deal will not go through?” he asked, his tone seemingly to turn slightly dark, but as though she hadn’t heard him, Grace remained quiet and expressionless.“You heard the young friend’s question, don’t you?” The old man of the Sky Family, frowning with dissatisfaction inquired, and only then did Grace internally heave a sigh before finally focusing her icy stare on Lucius.“Because I’m already married,” she announced firmly, making sure everyone heard her clearly, and in the following second, it was as though she had thrown a bomb.No one other than Xavier had expected this response from her—Not
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 073 – Lucius’s Excitement
*****“This—how… how is this possible?” Everyone mumbled dazedly after staring in a trance for what felt like forever.They continued gaping blankly at the red certificate in Xavier’s hand, hoping it wasn’t real, but the official stamp of the city’s marriage office boldly on it, only made it undeniable, as it was one of the most impossible to forge in Riverton City.“You—you…” the Patriarch of the Sky family, Grace’s grandfather, who had maintained his calm thus far, even when Xavier interrupted and held Grace’s hand stuttered, pointing a shaky finger at Grace.Of all the things he had planned and prepared against, Grace getting married out of the blue was not one of them.His face turned red from fury and his breathing grew labored as though he would explode at any given moment.“Father…” Nico, seeing the old man’s present state spoke with concern, but then a thought abruptly crossed his mind, making a smile instantly cross his face.“The situation is not that dire though,” he
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 074 – Xavier’s Offer
*****“Take care of that so-called husband,” Lucius, who had seemed playful, smug, and arrogant a moment ago suddenly commanded indifferently, his eyes icy cold and filled with murderous intent.The bodyguard at the back, as though he had already expected the order hurriedly nodded his head respectfully.“Yes, boss,” he responded without asking any questions, and with that, Lucius entered the car the door held open by a nervous old man.After settling in, he thought for a moment before glancing at his secretary, who sat beside him, pouring his wine.“Attack her company from all sides until she comes to me for a way out,” he instructed, a sinister and cruel smile breaking out on his face.“Consider it done, boss!” the Secretary replied eagerly, her eyes brightening with viciousness, and Lucius, satisfied with her response, sneered.“Once I, Lucius Scoan, set my sights on someone, even if they are goddesses directly from heaven, they will belong to me and no one else,” he growled
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 075 – The Family’s Secret Scheme
***** “Father, we had the perfect chance to push her out just now—why give her another opportunity to fix things again?” Nico, who had been seething since they left the conference room finally couldn’t help but ask once they were inside the elevator. The old man glanced at him for a moment, and finally, a slight disappointment flashed in his eyes as he wondered why his son couldn’t grasp such a simple thing. He let out a small sigh and decided to explain when, Honey, who had been grinning with glee from the side, rolled her eyes at her father. “Grandfather giving her her one last chance wasn’t so she could redeem herself, it was part of the process to get the company back from her,” she reported, but Nico was not convinced. “And what if she comes up with another scheme to sabotage us just like she had always done in the past?” he asked helplessly, and at that moment, the expressions on the faces of the old man, Honey, and the still-enraged Mason darkened. Both Mason a
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 076 – The Unfriendly Visitors In The Hospital
*****“Do you think our son has already registered his marriage with our daughter-in-law?” Laura, whose excitement hadn’t settled since Xavier had left, suddenly asked, and David, who was currently massaging her legs on his lap looked speechless and helplessly at her.“How many times would you ask this already?” he asked exasperatedly, massaging his temples, making Laura‘s face redden.“I just can’t wait to feel like a proper mother-in-law,” she mumbled under her breath with embarrassment, causing David to roll his eyes.“Well, our son has already promised to come here once he’s done, so, there is no need to worry” he advised and Laura nodded her head, however, David, seeing the look on her face that only suggested she only heard but would not listen, smile helplessly.“You…” He wanted to continue but eventually decided against it since he was sure Laura would most likely not listen and soon show her worries again.“I’ll go check if the water’s warm enough,” he said with a sigh,
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 077 – Stereotyped
*****“Do you just deliberately enjoy getting on my nerves or something?” Xavier finally asked, utterly frustrated and helpless, still unaware that his parents had already been captured.In response, Dorothy’s eyes only narrowed, her lips pressed tight as she ground her teeth in barely restrained anger, but she refused to answer his question, instead, she angrily demanded. “What do you mean by what you were saying to my boss?”Beside her, Grace, who has also somehow reverted to being cold stared emotionlessly at Xavier, also curious about what he meant, and finally, Xavier, looking at the two ladies, one with pure detachment and the other with anger, let out a resigned sigh before smiling bitterly.“How else are we supposed to convince your family that our marriage is real if we don’t live together?” he questioned, showing a look of helplessness while deeply aware in his heart that this suggestion was purely for his own case, to convince his parents of the marriage.Grace and Dor
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 078 – Frosh’s Excitement
*****“Could—could you please turn your head to the other side a little bit or shut your eyes?” a beautiful nurse, looking so awkward at this moment finally stammered nervously, after trying in vain to adjust her gown.She had been avoiding saying anything since starting his check-up, doing her best to maintain her professionalism and not to offend the other party, but with Frosh Junior on the bed constantly trying to shamelessly peek under her uniform, she had no choice but to speak up, her voice tinged with dissatisfaction.In the next second, however, Frosh Junior, realizing he had been caught smirked mischievously, not feeling even the slightest bit of remorse.“I like you,” he suddenly blurted out, dumbfounding the nurse, but before she could react, he raised his remaining hand, which had an IV connected to it, and hit the Nurse’s butt, producing a sound that only made him further excited.“This…” the nurse’s eyes widened, and she froze momentarily, but then her eyes redden

Chapter 421 – The Crowd’s Shock and Disbelief
*****‘Owner of that card?’‘Sir?!’The security guards stood dumbfounded, their mouths slack, their jaws seemingly on the brink of unhinging.Shock struck them like a thunderclap.“What the hell is going on?” one of them finally muttered under his breath, echoing the question blazing through each of their stunned minds.Their gazes flicked toward the crowd that had steadily swelled behind the previously proud and composed bank manager—now looking more like a startled, out-of-place clerk.Meanwhile, the crowd…A sea of eyes currently bore down on Xavier, every single person staring at him with obsessive curiosity, as if hoping to peel away the layers of his being and discover the truth beneath.And finally… Xavier?He currently stood still.Unshaken. Serene. Detached.He radiated an eerie calm, like the eye of a deadly storm.Not an ounce of panic, not a flicker of uncertainty. Just composed stillness, as if he’d anticipated this exact sequence of events.Without rushing
Chapter 420 – The Manager’s Arrival
*****“Is it somehow my responsibility that you’re impoverished, insignificant, and utterly beneath notice?” the Chief Security Officer sneered, spitting his words with contempt so thick it practically clung to the air.His voice dripped with derision, and the scorn in his gaze was nothing short of poisonous.“Is it my fault,” he continued with a mocking tilt of his head, “that you chose to provoke—not just an ordinary individual—but the heir of an illustrious third-rank family? A man who, with a flick of his finger or a single spoken command, could erase every person you’ve ever known or cared for from existence?”Xavier, “…”He looked at the CSO as if watching a performing clown—blank, unimpressed, and disinterested.For a second, he said nothing, simply letting the silence thicken like fog.And then—“So what you’re telling me,” he said slowly, a trace of amusement curling in his tone, “is that the buffoon—who struts around flaunting his bloodline and abusing his identity—i
Chapter 419 – The Experience With The Dispatched Guards
*****About five minutes or so ago.Xavier did not leave immediately after stepping out of the bank. Instead, he stood quietly just outside the glass doors, his back straight, his expression as calm as still water.He wasn’t a petty person who actively sought conflict, but if provoked, he would not retreat. No—he couldn’t.Not with how he had been treated today.He had to make Brenda pay and make her partners in crime realize that not everyone should be looked down upon.Because he knew—deep in his bones that if he let this go, the memory would fester like a splinter lodged beneath his skin, tormenting him each time he remembered the utter contempt, the humiliation, the outright rejection that had been thrown at him without mercy today.Even when he had just been sentenced to prison—stripped of all dignity—he had never been treated with such disgust.He clenched his fists, a storm of fury and ice churning within his chest.He stood there, silently waiting. Waiting for the ine
Chapter 418 – Gregory’s Terror
*****“I… I think I might know who the card belongs to.”A voice broke the silence, soft and uncertain, but it was enough to slice through the tension like a blade.All heads turned instantly toward the source.It was the customer who had been standing at the front of the queue behind Xavier earlier—the customer directly in front of Brenda’s counter.Now, under the scrutiny of dozens of eyes, the man’s face turned pale as snow. Sweat trickled from his temples.If the ground could have opened up and swallowed him whole, he would have welcomed it.He hadn’t even meant to speak. The words had slipped out unintentionally, as though his subconscious had betrayed him.“You… you know the owner of this?” Gregory asked, carefully raising the obsidian-colored card again, his eyes wide with a strange mix of hope and dread.The customer opened his mouth, hesitating. His lips trembled.“I…” he began, swallowing hard.He genuinely considered denying it. Pretending he had made a mistake.
Chapter 417 – I Think I Might Know Who The Card Belongs To
*****“Where is the owner of this card?”The voice wasn’t loud, but it immediately struck the crowd like a thunderclap.It was chilling. Piercing. Unmistakably authoritative.Everyone stopped talking instantly, and then their heads turned in unison toward the speaker.The moment they identified the source—Gregory—they felt another wave of fear rise up their spines.‘So, he had released the cold… with nothing but his aura.’Even more terrifying? The question he asked was directed at someone specific.Brenda.The card had fallen in front of her counter.And now, Gregory’s frostbitten gaze was locked directly on her.She froze, her breath hitched, and her knees nearly buckled.She didn’t even dare blink.Brenda’s heart began to thunder wildly in her chest, each beat crashing like a drum against her ribcage.A suffocating pressure bore down on her, accompanied by a chilling aura, unlike anything she had ever experienced in her entire life.One second…Two seconds…Three s
Chapter 416 – Where Is The Owner of This Card?
Chapter 416 – Where Is The Owner of This Card? ***** ‘What is that thing?’ Numerous individuals pondered internally, their eyes fixated on the glossy black card lying motionless on the floor. Its surface shimmered faintly under the fluorescent lighting. It was clearly made of a rare material, unlike anything they had known. It bore a resemblance to a bank card, perhaps an advanced type of ATM card, but instinctively, everyone knew this wasn’t any ordinary financial instrument. The entire hall remained silent, as though collectively holding its breath. Each person watched Gregory’s reaction with heightened anticipation, wondering just what made this card so distinct to give him such a reaction. The tension lingered for what seemed like an unending stretch of time until finally... “Uncle… is that something important?” Julius finally asked, his curiosity pushed past its limit. His voice instantly shattered the stillness that had settled in within the bank like a
Chapter 415 – Whose Card Is That?!
*****Gregory’s eyes immediately locked onto the bewildered young man standing before him. “Could it be… are you affiliated with the Cromwell family here in Riverton?”‘What...?’A heavy hush blanketed the entire lobby like a woolen shroud.Every individual present—staff and customer alike—fixated on Gregory, their expressions frozen in astonishment.Even Julius found himself momentarily speechless.“You… you actually recognize my family?” he asked, visibly taken aback.Under ordinary circumstances, such a question might seem excessive. But in a metropolis like Riverton—where third-tier families numbered in the hundreds—it was understandable.Moreover, the heads of major branches like this one of Titan Financial Institution, especially the headquarters Branch, were often individuals hailing from second—or third-tier families themselves.Gregory didn’t immediately reply. Instead, his sharp gaze scanned Julius from head to toe. Then, just as abruptly, a faint yet familiar smile
Chapter 414 – Twisting The Event
*****The interior of the bank was deathly silent at this moment.Not a whisper, not a shuffle—only stunned expressions and the echoing tension in the air.Every gaze was fixed squarely on Gregory Langston, the prestigious branch manager of Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch.‘Offend a VVIP customer?’Whether they were employees in uniform or customers in line, furrowed brows rippled throughout the room like synchronized waves.“Why would we possibly offend a VVIP customer of all customers?”“Moreover, apart from VIP customers, we haven’t even received any customer worth being a VVIP in years, have we?”Confusion spread like wildfire amongst the various employees.Dozens of silent voices echoed within the minds of the bank employees, each one scrambling through recent memories, desperately attempting to recall if they'd slighted any important figures.But—nothing. No recollection. No one of significance had been turned away, mistreated, or even mildly inconven
Chapter 413 – Which Of You Dares To Offend The VVIP Customer?!
*****“H-He’s doomed,” a nearby customer muttered quietly, his voice barely more than a whisper, but his words echoed what everyone else was thinking.The others nodded their heads in agreement.Several people couldn’t help but pity Xavier.“I even suggested he back down... but he had to act so recklessly, despite clearly having nothing to rely on!”“Aish. I get that he wanted to stand his ground, but doesn’t he understand how life works? Some people... some people like them, you simply don’t go against them. Or you’ll end up regretting it for life.”“What a shame...”They sighed collectively, shaking their heads as they imagined the fate that awaited Xavier once the guards caught up with him and handed him over to Julius.Their thoughts naturally turned to Julius again, and they glanced in his direction—only to freeze.The fury and coldness that had distorted his face earlier could no longer be seen.Now, Julius wore the same expression he had when he first walked into the
