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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 098 – Grace’s & Dorothy’s Rage
*****Grace’s casual expression finally faded away as soon as she heard Xavier still insisting on owning a villa in OceanView Estate.She stared blankly at him for a moment, half-expecting him to suddenly break into a grin and admit he was merely joking. After all, who wouldn’t laugh at such an absurdity of an ordinary person claiming to own a house in OceanView Estate of all places? Yet, there he was, staring back at her, his expression steady, as if he had just casually stated the most obvious fact in the world.She had already been frustrated with him for telling his parents about their marriage—something meant to be a mere business arrangement—without giving her any warning. Now, however, he even dared to boast about something so obviously untrue.‘I thought you were a bit different, maybe even honest, based on the background check I did. But it seems I was wrong,’ she thought, any trace of lingering goodwill she might have had for Xavier vanishing entirely as if it had never
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 099 – Xavier’s Helplessness
*****Although Grace’s expression didn’t change after seeing Xavier incapable of responding to the question he was asked, her fists clenched slightly with so much fury as she suddenly regretted the mistake of giving her first time to him.Though she had regretted this from the moment it happened, she had kept trying to convince herself that he was at least better than the other men who were only interested in her looks. Especially recalling how he had stood up for her at the bar, and everything she’d learned about his past before he was sent to prison. But now, however, seeing him for what he really was—a liar, a braggart, and a shameless fraud, on top of being an ex-convict—she couldn't help but despise herself to the core, and suddenly... suddenly, she thought Xavier might have planned the incident at the bar.Though this was only a fledging thought, it grew stronger and stronger until finally, it became so believable that she couldn't take it off her mind again.In the next sec
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 100 – The Ruthless, Mysterious Mistress Ayra
***** "I knew you were somewhat different and mysterious from the first interaction I had with you, “ the figure of a beautifully shaped lady, seated behind a desk inside a dimly lit, shadowed room suddenly mumbled to herself, her expression distant and contemplative with a smug smile on her barely visible lips. Eventually, she snapped back to reality and lowered her gaze to the monitor in front of her, whose screen was providing the only light in the otherwise dark room, and carefully reread the oddly typed, somewhat encrypted message on it before finally, she couldn’t help but release a small sigh. “Never have I imagined that your level of secrecy and mysteriousness actually extends to having the strength needed to eliminate an E-rank fighter...” she whispered with a voice filled with awe, her eyes gleaming with a light that could make one’s skin crawl. Looking at the way she was muttering to herself, lost in her own thoughts, inside the dimly lit office that appeared empty save f
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 101 – Frosh and Jazzy’s Boss
*****"Have you heard the news?” A man in his mid-thirties, who currently has an indifferent expression on his icy face abruptly asked, slowly raising his head.Just at that moment, the door to the grand and somewhat dark-themed office, which radiated power and influence opened, and then Frosh carefully entered, looking extremely wary and deferential, a stark contrast to his usual arrogant, rude demeanor in the outside world.“Boss,” he first bowed his head respectfully to the man in the fine, expensive, and black suit, sitting behind the massive desk with a large cigarette between his fingers.“Yes boss, I just got the news that Jazzy was killed,” he cautiously reported with his head still bowed, but in the following second, a fleeting, calculating glint flashed in his eyes—something the man before him did not notice.The thirty-something authoritative man is Dominic, one of the terrifying and feared rulers of the underground network of Riverton City; Jazzy and Frosh’s boss.He
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 102 – Frosh Scheme
*****The silence in the office seemed to last an eternity before finally, Dominic, broke it.What did you just say?” he asked, his initial indifferent and icy expression crumbling.Heheheh!’ Frosh laughed inwardly at this but maintained his awkward demeanor.“It—it was Miss Grace. Grace Sky, Boss.”“This!” Dominic finally lost his composure, springing to his feet and glaring at Frosh, who instantly panicked.Who doesn’t know who Grace is to Dominic? She was the woman he had been slowly courting for some time now.Though he could have long gotten her by now if he wanted, he hadn’t because he desired not just her body but her heart, soul as well, and everything.But now…“Why would she do that?! Did that bastard Jazzy offend her?” he growled, his voice dark, menacing, and fierce, causing Frosh’s grin to pause.‘Huh!!!!’ he was dumbstruck by the latter part of his boss’s question.He stared dazedly at his boss for a moment, wondering how much he must have loved Grace to have

Chapter 279 – Honey Finally Awakens
*****The representatives stared at Grace in despair, their faces etched with terror after hearing her words.They could tell she wasn’t bluffing, and this… it made several of them struggle to breathe, as though their very lives were slipping away right away before their eyes.How were they supposed to report this back to their companies?What report were they supposed to give when they had been strictly instructed before leaving their respective organizations to only apply pressure on Grace and the Sky Group?They had been repeatedly cautioned not to make the termination of the partnership possible. Instead, they were only told to continue pressing Grace until she eventually caved to Lucius’s demands, and this way, they’d achieve two goals at once: completing Lucius’s goal while still maintaining their partnership with Sky Group. But now…They had recklessly taken matters into their own hands, doing exactly what they had been repeatedly warned against.…The representatives’
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
