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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 106 – The Arrogant Butler
*****For a moment after Xavier’s voice had sounded, an eerie silence enveloped both the car and the group outside, with everyone staring at him in an absolute stupor, all of them struggling to believe their ears.It felt utterly impossible that Xavier had just uttered these words, and for this reason, they all wondered whether they had misheard and it was their ears playing tricks on them.The more they tried to convince themselves that they were the ones who had misheard, however, the less certain they became.Eventually, they all exchanged gazes in pairs, and in the following second, the faces of the ones in the car paled significantly, realizing that it was as they had feared—they had really not misheard Xavier despite hoping with everything within them that they had....Edgar, to whom this question was directed was no exception. He also tried as much as he could to convince himself that his ears were the ones that had deceived him, but he failed miserably and upon seeing t
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 107 – A Hopeless Situation
***** It wasn’t a secret even to some of the average residents of Riverton City that the top real estate family, the Blackwoods, owned the best and number one villa in Oceanview Estate, a fact which even the other prominent first-rank families had always been envious about as the villa wasn’t just larger, beautiful, and more elegant than the rest, but it also occupied the best spot in the entire estate. But now… an unknown figure, a complete nobody, had just dared to claim ownership. Apart from Laura and David who failed to understand this fact, everyone else continued gaping wide-eyed at Xavier after he was done casually speaking, looking at him as if he had just made the most outrageous and shocking remark of all time. For this reason, pin-drop silence enveloped the surroundings again, with no one knowing how to react. This tense silence and stillness lingered on for what felt like ages until finally; “You… you… you… what an audacity! The audacity!!!” Edgar returned to hi
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 108 – A Sudden Unexpected Twist
***** In the silence, everyone turned their heads and looked at the owner of the recent voice, a 30 – 32-year-old pretty lady, dressed sharply in a black suit that accentuated her hourglass shape and exuded professionalism. Her calm presence, however instantly caused a dramatic shift in the soldiers and Edgar’s expressions. Edgar was first stunned, but then his face lit up with reverence before a smug grin stretched across his lips, the presence of the lady suddenly adding to his courage. ‘Hehehe…’ he chuckled excitedly, recalling the lady’s words to him after his arrival. With this, he couldn’t help but send an arrogant and smug smirk at the soldiers, reveling in his perceived victory. "You two should start packing your belongings from the smallest to the largest—you’ll pay dearly for your arrogance and disrespect towards me, your superior, with your jobs," he declared with smug superiority. The moment these words entered the soldiers’ ears, however, the remaining color
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 109 – The Rollercoaster Emotions
*****‘Sir Xavier?’‘Waiting for him?’‘This… is this real?’As though their souls had departed, leaving behind empty shells, all the people outside Oceanview Estate were staring dazedly right now, most of them with their mouths wide open, struggling to digest what had just transpired... what they had just heard.There was no exception to the shock gripping everyone right now, Xavier included due to Victoria’s respectful declaration of waiting for him, though he was less stupefied than everyone else was utterly floored.The overwhelming silence that followed Victoria’s words lingered for what seemed like an eternity, so thick that the ones standing with their mouths wide open began to drool, yet still, no one returned to their senses.……Meanwhile, sensing the tension that had filled up the atmosphere, Victoria, whose head was still bowed furrowed her brows slightly, confusion flashing across her face.She slowly lifted her head after a moment, glancing around, and the moment
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 110 – Edgar’s Fear
***** "This..." All except Edgar and Xavier felt their hearts stop briefly—Edgar’s eyes lightening up with excitement, relief, and smugness After a moment, while everyone else… ‘She… she hasn’t even confirmed his identity yet?!’ they all thought in unison, a mix of horror and helplessness gripping their minds, making the earlier hint of hope disappear. It was only David, who after processing Victoria’s words allowed a small smile to escape. 'The first good news since,' he thought in relief, knowing that the only one who could probably exonerate them from the current up-and-down situation was the Blackwood Patriarch himself who had given him the villa’s key. “Son, I… I think…” Laura, shivering from apprehension looked at Xavier as soon as she saw Victoria bringing out her cell phone, wanting to plead with him when the beaming David stopped her. "It’s alright, dear. The truth will come out now," he reassured her, speaking in a voice only the three of them in the backseat could

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
Chapter 412 – Going For Xavier
*****“Did he seriously just walk out like that after making such a bold threat?”A customer, wide-eyed and visibly bewildered, voiced what many were thinking.They glanced around at one another, confusion mirrored in every pair of eyes. It didn’t take more than a few moments for the realization to dawn on them—Xavier had simply been bluffing.“Ugh! And to think I was beginning to believe he might actually have something or someone backing him up.”“How could he leave so shamelessly, after all that?”“This is infuriating... Honestly, I’m both mad and embarrassed for ever thinking he had something hidden up his sleeve.”A ripple of murmurs surged through the hall of Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch, as customers voiced their dismay, disbelief, and conflicting emotions.Confusion, irritation, and even a trace of disappointment colored their expressions.Meanwhile, a more intense silence lingered around Brenda and Julius at this moment.The moment had struck th
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
