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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 111 – The Blackwood Family’s Estate
***** Blackwood family’s estate. Inside a grand, sprawling room with towering ceilings supported by intricately designed pillars, each symbolizing a different aspect of the family’s legacy—power, wisdom, history, and dominance were three middle-aged men and their faces were currently ashen with fury, their eyes blazing with unbridled anger, seething silently, as if on the verge of explosion. Next to them was the stunningly beautiful Cassandra, whose gaze was fixated ahead of her right now as though trying to piece together a puzzle, and this lasted for some time until finally, her eyes lit up with clarity. "He’s without a doubt the one currently on the phone with Grandfather. I’ve never seen Grandfather show such respect and deference to anyone else," she muttered quietly with a look of certainty appearing on her face as she hurriedly shot a quick look at the three men, who had remained quiet because of their belief that their father was on the phone with someone significant.

Chapter 427 – The Guards’ Anxiousness
*****Julius let out a sharp exhale after hearing his father’s infuriated voice.Knowing that his father never ignored anything concerning him and would always seek revenge on his behalf no matter the time or place, he felt slightly more at ease, reassured that reinforcements were on the way.But one thing remained absolutely clear.He wouldn’t let Xavier leave this bank without paying for everything he had done.And so, Julius turned and stormed back inside.……Meanwhile…Outside the bank stood a group of trembling souls—the security guards.They had watched everything unfold.They had heard the slap, seen the reactions, and now, they were only beginning to understand the enormity of their error.Their faces were pale. Their limbs were numb.The silence among them was heavy—until one of the guards finally croaked out a shaky whisper:“P-Please… Someone tell me we didn’t almost beat that guy up just to impress Julius.”His voice was so thin, so frightened, it was a miracle anyone hear
Chapter 426 – Julius’ Unwillingness
*****Brenda’s face was pale like a sheet of paper at this moment, her body trembling faintly.She hadn’t moved since Gregory had dismissed her. It was as though her soul had been yanked from her chest, leaving behind an empty shell.The arrogance—the spite—the pride that had once oozed from her? Gone.Now, she looked like a woman standing in the ruins of her own choices.Her lips moved slightly. Then again.“No… No… I can’t be fired…” She thought desperately, her hands clenched at her sides."I’m still under contract! That’s right… A contract staff member can’t be fired on the spot like that. If they do, the one who fired them and the organization will be inviting a lawsuit."The thought offered her a sliver of hope, and with this, her breathing steadied.But that sliver couldn’t warm the ice that had sunk into her bones.She took in a shaky breath, steeling herself.Then she turned, lifted her chin with forced determination, and began walking back into the bank.Her expression tried
Chapter 425 – The Customers’ Fearlessness
*****Everyone stood motionless at this moment, rooted in place like statues carved from stone, their eyes wide as they tracked Xavier’s unhurried, graceful stride back into the bank.His hands were in his pockets.His pace was casual, and his aura? Unshakable.He had just smacked the face of hierarchy, shattered arrogance underfoot, and turned power dynamics upside down—and now he walked away like none of it had mattered.The silence that followed was almost spiritual.Even Gregory, the bank’s esteemed manager, whose presence once demanded respect, was too stunned to react for a full ten seconds. His brain, like everyone else’s, struggled to reboot after witnessing a scene so bizarre, so unreal, it defied everything they thought they knew about status and authority.But finally, as if a switch had flipped, Gregory jolted.A wave of relief crashed over him, and without a second thought, he sprang to his feet and dashed after Xavier, his face beaming like a man who had just been spared
Chapter 424 – Gregory’s Apology
*****Gregory’s face twisted in disgust after hearing Brenda’s apology, his mind finally piecing everything together like a jigsaw puzzle falling into place.'So, he had indeed called the head office?’‘To think I was internally blaming him for reporting my branch even though he was the one in the wrong.’‘So, he was the victim after all.’A wave of dread washed over Gregory, and before he knew it, his breathing grew shallow. It was as if the very air around him was closing in on him.Without warning, he snapped.“Pack your things and get out,” he growled at Brenda, his voice thunderous and final. “You’re terminated. Immediately.”The impact of his words struck like a lightning bolt.Everyone gasped.Brenda stood paralyzed, her mouth agape in utter disbelief.‘Fired?’She looked around, her eyes searching the crowd for someone—anyone—to protest on her behalf. But all she found were stunned, speechless faces.Julius was the first to break out of the stupor. He stepped forw
Chapter 423 – Gregory’s Realization
*****“Wait… did he just say what I think he did?”“Did the manager just reprimand Young Master Julius?”“No way. That can’t be right. Not young master Julius. This has to be some kind of joke…”Murmurs spread like wildfire.They had all seen how Gregory had treated Julius earlier, with complete familiarity, like a family member. For him to suddenly raise his voice, let alone scold Julius, was beyond belief.And Julius…He looked like he’d just swallowed a fly.“This…” he muttered, his mouth agape. For a moment, no words came. Then, recovering some of his usual bluster, he forced out a shaky laugh.“Uncle,” he said, his voice louder now, trying to reassert dominance, “You’re not actually falling for this lunatic’s act, are you?”He gestured toward Xavier like he was showcasing a circus animal.“Come on! Look at him! Look at the state of his clothes! Even the servants back at my estate wear better than this—and you think this is a VVIP client?”He barked a short laugh, but
Chapter 422 – This Man Isn’t Ordinary
*****The security personnel were the most baffled at this moment, exchanging bewildered glances with each other as they tried to make sense of the chaotic scene unfolding before them.They had left briefly with one clear instruction—seize Xavier and return him to the bank so that Julius could administer his version of punishment for Xavier's audacity. Yet now… everything had changed in the blink of an eye.‘What could possibly have transpired during the few short moments we were away?’‘Why is the branch manager, a man who practically lives in his office, suddenly out here?’“What exactly is this’ card‘ everyone is whispering about?”‘And why is the entire staff and the customers assembled like something monumental is happening?’A cascade of questions thundered through their minds, yet none could form an answer. They stood motionless, confusion written all over their faces.Their gazes eventually settled on Gregory, the bank manager.But it wasn’t just the guards who had ze
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
