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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 103 – The Magnificent Estate
*****Located at the very heart and core of Riverton City stood a breathtakingly gorgeous estate, one that seemed plucked straight directly from a fictional fantasy realm. Its magnificence was so extraordinary and magical to the extent that it seemed unreal even to the ones who saw it.It was surrounded by a softly glowing, luminous blue sea whose surface was impossibly smooth, like polished glass, reflecting a perfect mirror image of the sky above.This was OceanView Estate whose entire villas are so priceless and highly coveted by the most powerful elites in Riverton City that no one outside this exclusive circle could afford it.Its value, however, wasn’t solely due to its breathtaking beauty. What truly distinguished this estate, according to the public knowledge was a combination of factors, chief among them being its unparalleled security, which could render even the most notorious criminals and weakest entities invincible.There were also rumors that this estate maintained
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 104 - The Arrogant Butler
*****“Should… should I lower it?” Dorothy asked nervously, her eyes darting to Grace, whose calm facade was beginning to crack under the mounting pressure.She swallowed slightly, but finally nodded her head, her voice steady despite the tension. “You should.”Dorothy stared at her more but then she gritted her teeth and moved her hand toward the car’s door, lowering the windows with a trembling finger.In the next instant, they were met with the fierce, contemptuous glare of the arrogant-looking middle-aged man.Edgar peered into the car, and in the next moment, the sight of the cramped space filled with anxious, panicked faces made the anger on his face gradually fade, replaced by pure disgust and contempt.“How many times do you filthy peasants need to be warned to stay away from this place?” he sneered, his voice dripping with pure disdain. “Are you lot trying to taint the air with your presence?”“This…” Edgar’s words instantly sent shivers through the car, causing everyo
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 105 – The Discovered Treasures Behind Xavier’s Stupefaction
***** Initially, Xavier hadn’t given much thought to Oceanview Estate, despite his previous fascination with it like everyone else before his prison sentence, thinking it was yet another overpriced, overhyped place by wealthy people who don’t know what to do with their money. This assumption, however, swiftly faded even before they reached their destination, as something had already begun to stir within him. By the time they arrived, his vague stupor had transformed into absolute astonishment and disbelief, which lingered long even after everyone else in the car had snapped out of their own amazement. Xavier had remained frozen, his mind swirling with discoveries no one else in the car could have comprehended, which continued until Grace noticed his dazed expression and scoffed, utterly convinced by his look that he was merely a delusional fool, claiming to own something he hadn't even seen before in his life. While everyone else had been shocked by the breathtaking scen

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
Chapter 402 – Xavier’s Disbelief
*****"Ah!!! This is outrageous, and it badly infuriates me!”“You people are nothing but bullies!""How could such a place like this be this shamelessly biased?! We've been waiting for hours, and just because someone wealthy waltzes in, you chose to abandon us all to serve him without any iota of shame and remorse?!""Where is the fairness in this?!""I despise this bank with every fiber of my being!""I swear, I will make sure to spread the word of this disgraceful conduct to my friends, family, and every single person I have ever known! No one will ever trust this corrupt institution again!"Raging voices that overlapped each other continued reverberating throughout the bank, filling the air with sheer indignation.The furious customers standing in the endless queue behind Xavier glowered daggers at the cashier and the ostentatiously dressed man.Their collective fury was palpable—their faces flushed with rage and their eyes ablaze with hostility.Some had even clenched t
Chapter 401 – Bonus Chapter
*****[ A/N: To celebrate the major milestone of reaching chapter 400, here’s a bonus chapter! I wish I could upload more, but as I mentioned in earlier chapters, my schedule has been packed lately. So please bear with me on this one.Thanks again for your support!]—“Hey, boy! Where do you think you’re going?!”“You better not be thinking of cutting the line!”“The hell does this dude think he’s doing?”The room’s atmosphere tensed as multiple voices rose in indignation.Xavier, along with the others, instinctively turned toward the commotion.A man, likely in his early thirties, sauntered forward as though the world belonged to him. His designer-branded suit, a garish explosion of gold and navy blue, clung perfectly to his broad shoulders, and multiple diamond-studded rings glittered on his fingers.Despite the hostile murmurs from the queue, he strutted forward with an air of superiority, flashing a smug, self-satisfied grin.His sheer audacity made it evident that he w
