Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 090 – The Lion King’s Defeat
*****The Lion King, still not realizing anything flew like a bullet after Xavier’s attack and then crashed to the ground with a loud and heavy thud—right next to Jazzy’s carcass.Xavier’s body immediately moved instinctively, ready to pounce and tear him apart for his disrespect toward his mother. But then his gaze fell on Laura, and instantly, something inside of him seemed to shift.Her expression which was still filled with dread, helplessness, apology, and exhaustion made him stop, unable to care about the Lion King again for the time being.“Mother…” he called out with a softened voice, the fiery madness that had consumed him moments ago shattering like fragile glass.He took a step toward Laura, and as he did, the frozen time around them resumed.Everyone in the arena shuddered violently the next second, gasping as if they had just surfaced from drowning.Some of them nearly fainted in the next second as they finally reacted to the first surge of aura that had erupted fr
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 091 – Frosh and His Brother’s Speculation
*****With all that had transpired, one might think an eternity had passed since Xavier had slipped out of the hospital, but that wasn’t the case. In reality, just a little over an hour had gone by which was little, considering the distance between the hospital and the underground fighting club.Presently, inside a dark-colored vehicle parked quietly some distance adjacent to the lively underground arena, the one-armed, heavily bandaged Frosh Junior and his elder brother were seated in the back, staring vacantly at the scene outside in complete stupor.The two brothers still couldn’t believe what they were witnessing, no matter how long had passed. In fact, they refused to accept it.They had reached the fighting arena before the authorities. But just as they were planning to gather together and barge in to demand Xavier, ready to destroy Jazzy's club in the process, law enforcement showed up, making them stop even though they weren't scared.…“But why would cops come into that
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 092 - The Siblings’ Fear
*****For a moment, Frosh Junior did not know how to react, hearing his brother and hearing the melancholy in his voice, but then his eyes narrowed and he quickly locked his gaze on Frosh, his breathing turning labored.“So, now that we know that jerk, who did this to me has such a close connection with a member of a second-rank family, does that mean that my revenge is only a mere fantasy?” he suddenly asked, his eyes reddening with frustration and unwillingness, dumbfounding Frosh for a moment.“That was not what I meant,” he hurriedly clarified, seeing his brother verging on panic. Before he could continue, however, intending to assure him, a soft knock tapped against the car’s windshield, startling the brothers.Frosh quickly rolled down the window beside him, recognizing the person— his newly promoted assistant from the previous day who presently appeared shocked and scared as though he just saw something scary.“What did you find?” he quickly asked, eager to know the truth
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 093 - Frosh’s Promise
***** Frosh was dumbstruck for some time after hearing his brother and feeling the pain and desperation heavily laced in his voice, then he shook his head and released a soft sigh. “Why do you say that?” he asked, staring at him in confusion. He instantly saw the anguish on his brother’s face and understood his fear. The following second, Frosh couldn’t help but laugh, even amid the unsettling situation. “You—you think that weakling, whom even I, an F-ranked fighter could easily crush with a snap of my fingers, was the one who killed Jazzy?” he laughed so hard that tears sprang to his eyes. “How is that even possible? Do you know what it takes to become a ranked fighter, let alone an E-rank, which requires a miracle and divine intervention? Then the level above?” “But…” Frosh Junior began, only to be interrupted. “If truly Jazzy has reached the E-rank and was still
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 094 – The Weight of The Past
*****“Is something the matter?” Laura, whose mind was still in turmoil from all that had happened and the second near-death encounter she had had in just two days, suddenly blurted, gazing at Xavier, who had come to an abrupt stop, staring intently in a specific direction.“I…” Xavier blinked, startled back to his senses by his mother’s voice. He then shook his head in response to her question before his brows furrowed again, subconsciously glancing back at the departing black vehicle.‘Who could have been releasing that much murderous intent and hostility toward me?’ he wondered, his rarely wrong intuition alerting him of looming trouble that he deliberates on solving right there and then.Just as he was about to step forward, however, David’s concerned voice sounded beside him, breaking through his thoughts. “Are you sure you’re alright, son?” he asked, and only then did Xavier tear his gaze away from the car, deciding to dismiss the threat and intention to act, nagging at his
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 095 – Xavier’s Embarrassment
*****Although Grace had already been accustomed to various stares throughout her life, especially since she had embarked on the journey of being an entrepreneur, this one left her deeply uncomfortable, making her palms sweat for a reason she had no idea about.“I...I hope you weren’t hurt, Aunty?” she stuttered, uncertain of how to respond to the gaze she was receiving.At the sound of her voice, Laura trembled slightly before stepping forward with her mind a flurry of emotions.She kept her warm gaze on Grace and then gently took her hands once she reached her, leaving Grace, Dorothy, and Xavier utterly flabbergasted.The trio stood there in a daze, unsure of what had just transpired, while Laura, her heart overwhelmed with joy, failed to notice.‘This—this is my daughter-in-law. I’ve —I’ve finally laid my eyes on my daughter-in-law,’ she thought with a mind filled with butterflies, her eyes brimming with unshed tears of joy.Laura had thought she would never get the chance t
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 096 – Lucius’s Other-side
***** "Father! Father!!!" Lucius cried out, darting forward as if his butt had caught fire, then with not even the slightest trace of pity, shoved aside the two guards, who appeared to be trying to warn him, and then slammed open the grand door before him, storming inside. “This...” The bodyguards, who had just been roughly pushed aside without any care whether they fell or injured, exchanged uneasy looks. "Master specifically said no one was to enter—why does young master always put us in impossible situations?" one of them muttered, visibly shaken. The other forced a deep breath, trying his best to maintain his composure despite knowing the consequence of making their master mad. "I’m certain the master won’t hold it against us," he whispered hopefully, although his nervous expression suggested otherwise. He then cautiously closed the door that had been forced open by Lucius. As he did so, however, the guard sneaked a glance into the hall and saw Lucius standing motionless. The
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 097 – Lucius’s Relief
***** Lucius had never taken Xavier to his mind and he had long sentenced him to death, merely waiting for news from his bodyguard whom he had dispatched to assassin him now. Never in his wildest dreams—or rather, nightmares—had he expected the next news he would hear about Xavier to be that he had slain a godlike figure such as an E-rank fighter, a level that none in his own family, despite its strength and position, had yet to attain. “You know him?” Borgia asked urgently, noticing Lucius’s dumbstruck expression and outburst. But Lucius was too frozen in shock and disbelief right now to react. He remained transfixed, staring dazedly at the phone displaying Xavier's image, where he was smiling at his parents outside the underground fighting club. Lucius’s mind was in complete turmoil, overwhelmed with fear as he remembered how he had treated Xavier earlier and even sent someone to assassinate him. He stayed like this for a moment before suddenly, something seemed to

Chapter 278 – Lucius’s Furious Exit
*****Grace had never anticipated a conclusion like this.Not even once, why? Because Lucious wasn’t someone anybody in the room dared to offend.Without knowing what to think, she continued gawking at the room like a fool, her mouth remaining agape for what felt like an eternity.It was as though a heavenly force had suddenly sown discord, havoc, and animosity amid her adversaries, all of them clashing with one another in front of her instead of targeting her.This continued like for what seemed an endless stretch of time before suddenly;“You all!”Lucius, the most shocked in the room finally snapped back to reality and snarled, pointing an hysterically trembling finger at Mason, his father, and the group of delegates.In the next moment, the group of delegates, the former receptionist, Nico, his father, and Dorothy’s hearts trembled, a menacing aura abruptly radiating from Lucius, instilling fear in them.Although Lucius wasn’t that formidable, just even an E-ranked fighte
Chapter 277 – Ganging Up Against Lucius
*****For a heartbeat after seeing where Grace’s finger was pointed, the room was frozen, everyone seemingly caught in a suffocating stillness.It did not even look as if the representatives had heard Grace’s disappointing response to them,Their blank stares remained fixed on Lucius, as if in a trance, processing Grace's final words.Meanwhile, Lucius remained frozen, his thoughts spinning wildly. Grace's unexpected gesture—pointing at him and directing the representatives to meet with him—had left him completely paralyzed with shock.This silence, however, didn’t last for long when suddenly;“You’re the real culprit here!” A venomous voice cut through the oppressive quiet, its force akin to a whip cracking in the air.Everyone instantly turned toward the speaker, startled. And very surprisingly, it belonged to Nico.“This.”A wave of shock swept through the room at the sight before them, while Grace's face froze slightly, her disbelief matching everyone else's.Nico, who h
Chapter 276 – Grace’s Vengeance Heart
*****Grace’s initial reason for accompanying the Harrison representatives in the first place had been simple: a courtesy and a gesture of professionalism.But there was another motive, an unspoken and deeply personal one—a quiet hope to glean even if it’s the smallest hint about the reasoning behind the Harrison Conglomerate’s baffling decision to favor Sky Group out of the hundreds of more qualified companies out there Yet, her efforts yielded nothing.Instead, the representatives stood firm in their original statements, insisting without hesitation that it was because only her company deserved it, offering no further explanation beyond that.However, what Grace couldn’t ignore was their demeanor. The instant they stepped out of the room, the two representatives began to treat her with an almost reverential respect, one that felt entirely out of place given Sky Group’s standing relative to the monolithic Harrison Conglomerate.At first, she thought it might have been a tric
Chapter 275 - The Room’s Regret
*****Initially, everyone had thought they knew how the Harrison representative's visit would end.But this... not even Grace or Dorothy, despite their efforts of optimism had seen it coming.They had all assumed the Sky Group’s doom was sealed. That by the time the representatives departed, Grace would have been in ruin—her empire dismantled, her future destroyed beyond repair. And yet… Everything was contrary.A long moment of deafening, suffocating silence continued enveloping the conference room after Grace and the representatives vanished.The air was thick with disbelief, its oppressive pressure nearly tangible, weighing heavily on everyone.Every eye was wide, breaths were held, and the entire room was frozen in suffocating silence.None of them—least of all Lucius and his accomplices—couldn’t accept everything that had unfolded.Hadn’t they betrayed Sky Group in their desperation to align with the Harrisons?Hadn’t they dissolved every contract, severed every tie, and
Chapter 274 – The Two Representatives Depart
*****“This…”Gasps rippled across the room, every person staring in stunned disbelief.Lucius Blackwood—the embodiment of arrogance and wickedness. The untouchable tyrant, who had always acted as though he was above the entire world—was currently… groveling on the floor.This realization hit everyone hard dumbfounding them to the core.However, before the shock barely had time to settle, the loud sound of gulp echoed within the room, breaking through the tense atmosphere and drawing all eyes.It was Mason, and right now, he stood frozen, trembling as though trapped within an icy prison.The representatives also turned their gazes on him, their cold amusement laced with disdain.“You too,” one of them said, pointing directly at Mason. “Without verifying the truth, you made such a cruel suggestion, even daring to call me a stupid actor.”The words were a hammer blow, shattering whatever composure Mason had left.In the next second;“This… this is the devil’s work, sir!” he b
Chapter 273 – Lucius’s Apprehension
*****‘This…’The room became deathly silent momentarily, Mason’s words echoing in the air before finally, all eyes shifted to the patriarch whose expression was still unreadable.Even the two representatives were taken aback by Mason’s suggestion, unable to believe their ears.‘Apprehend us?’ Their minds repeated, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.Ever since joining Harrison’s Conglomerate, this is the first time in their lives to hear such disregard.They stared in a trance, while Nico.Having no idea about the part his son was headed, he only hesitated for a brief second before ultimately leaning closer to his father, his voice low but firm."Father… now isn’t the time to hesitate," he urged, his eyes bright.Instantly, the old man’s gaze turned icy, locking onto Grace.Initially, although he hadn’t entertained the possibility that the two representatives were impostors. Instead, his mind had been in complete blankness, struggling to process the sheer magnitude of the
Chapter 272 – Lucius’s Accusation and Mason’s Heartless Suggestion
*****Although several minutes had already elapsed since the two representatives revealed the major reason for their visit, the conference room remained frozen in an eerie stillness. Every person remained motionless, their gazes vacant, like soulless puppets.It was obvious that none of them had experienced such a profound shock in their lives before.This lasted for several more minutes that felt like hours before finally;"Nonsense!"A thunderous roar forcefully spat, shattering the silence in the room, and snapping everyone back to reality, their hearts suddenly pounding.All eyes directly turned toward the source of the outburst—Lucius.His teeth were clenched so tightly that they seemed ready to shatter right now, his fiery glare locked on the two representatives."Nonsense!" he repeated, his voice dripping with venom and fury as he glared at them as if they were the very embodiment of his wrath.On the other hand, the two representatives exchanged a brief glance before
Chapter 271 – The Harrison Patriarch’s Fear
*****“Father…”As soon as the prime minister departed, the middle-aged man, who had stood respectfully like a bodyguard from the very beginning—the president of the Harrison Conglomerate and the patriarch’s second son—finally mustered the courage to speak.His tone was tense, and his expression was filled with unease, unhappiness, and question as he glanced helplessly at his father who was still beaming foolishly."Do you have any idea the level of chaos this rash decision we’ve taken today would soon cause?" he asked, his voice filled with exasperation.In the following second, the patriarch froze mid-chuckle, his grin fading."What...?" he stammered, staring at his son as if he had just committed a grave offense. "What did you just say?"“I…”The middle-aged man hesitated, briefly doubting himself under his father’s intense gaze, but he quickly steadied himself and heaved a deep, long-drawn sigh."Father, have you perhaps forgotten that Projects Echelon serves another purp
Chapter 270 – Xavier’s Influence
*****That morning, Xavier awoke with a singular focus: fulfilling the promise he had made to Grace.Ordinarily, achieving this would have been an easy task for someone of his caliber, but his lack of preparation and the looming urgency had complicated matters.For a moment that morning, Xavier had even considered leveraging his connections from outside Riverton City—contacts he had intentionally avoided using since his release or even revealing his true identity.But just as frustration began to creep in, he remembered something he hadn’t paid any attention to from the beginning, thinking he wouldn’t need it.It was the parting gifts from his disciples on the day he left prison. Not everything, but the gift from the country’s president himself.The prime minister’s personal contact.Although all the tokens he had gotten that day had seemed unnecessary, a gesture of respect rather than utility, Xavier had thought he’d never needed this particular one, given that his original in
