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.
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 112 – Edgar’s Regret
*****As soon as these words left his mouth, he felt his heart race and his palms grow sweaty in nervousness, but just then;"How about I come tonight?" The words he hadn't anticipated entered his ear from the cell phone, sounding like the most beautiful melody he had heard in years, and in the next moment, the old man was completely flabbergasted, the words echoing in his mind and resonating in his ears."You… you’ll come tonight?" he stuttered and the following second, his eyes lit up as he could no longer contain his excitement—barely maintaining his composure.This response filled the old man with such joy that he could no longer wait for the evening and once the call ended, he jumped to his feet, laughing uproariously, stunning everyone in the room."This… this is wonderful, hahaha!"“Huh…” The four in the room, seeing the old man like this were dumbstruck and couldn’t react again, finding it difficult to believe he was their patriarch."You! Inform the staff to start prep
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 113 – Edgar’s Regret 2
*****Everyone couldn’t help but remain frozen in shock, struggling to comprehend how this presently subdued Edgar on his knees with such a pitiful face and teary eyes could be the same haughty, difficult-to-handle, and rude one from a moment ago.Their mouths continued to hang open, completely lost for words while Edgar... If remorse could be a person right now, it would be him.He wanted to smack himself repeatedly on the face, frantically cursing his foolishness and stupidity, as his pride and false sense of superiority had not only sabotaged his rise even before it began but also ruined any chance he would ever get again in the future.He was filled to the brim with self-loath right now.Not seemingly to notice all the gazes directed at him nor giving a cent about the haughty image he had been keeping, his body began to tremble hysterically, looking like he would sob at any moment even though no tears would fall from his eyes.Finally, after what felt like an eternity to him

Chapter 430 – The Titanium Account Balance
*****Right now, Julius simply stood there, looking utterly frozen.He stared blankly at Xavier, his anger completely evaporated.His arrogance had withered, and now, only confusion and disbelief remained.‘Is… is he sane?’ he wondered.Who rejects VIP treatment?His brain simply couldn’t process what was happening.….Meanwhile, Gregory stared hard at Xavier, a storm of emotions passing through his gaze.What he had just heard had completely humbled him.There was no arrogance in Xavier’s tone. No flaunting of power. No smug satisfaction. And no ridicule.It was only a quiet principleA principle Gregory had long buried beneath rules and obligations.To be honest, he, too, hated the practice.That’s rightHe hated prioritizing people based on wealth or background, likewise believing that no human being should be treated better than the other, especially when the said human beings were even in their rights.But a rule was a rule no matter what—and unless he was tired o
Chapter 429 – The Customers' Rising Admiration for Xavier
*****After Julius and Brenda, the guards were the most shocked after hearing Gregory make the announcement.Their knees turned to liquid, their eyes went wide, and their blood turned to ice.They had laughed at Xavier not long ago, insulting and calling him a lowlife entity for daring to challenge Julius and not give him a face.They had claimed he should have groveled before Julius—that he didn’t deserve to breathe the same air as him.And now?They had insulted a man who now made even Julius—their golden boy—look like a child playing dress-up.One of the guards whimpered softly, and another staggered before slumping against the wall, his hands shaking violently.“Wait… who was supposed to give face to who in the first place?” one of them muttered. “Weren’t we and even that Julius the ones who should’ve knelt to him from the start?”Regret tore through them like a thunderclap, the weight of their mistake suffocating them.They felt weak, almost sobbing.Their pride, their
Chapter 428 – An Unexpected Announcement
*****“Sir, please come with me to my office. I’ll personally handle everything for you.”That was the first thing the stunned customers heard upon rushing into the bank, causing their jaws to nearly drop to the floor.They froze, baffled.This wasn’t just any bank manager speaking—this was Gregory, the notoriously prideful manager of Pinnacle Bank, humbling himself without hesitation.But then they remembered that he had knelt before Xavier not long ago, even slapping the descendant of a third-rank family for him.Those two acts instantly silenced any thoughts of ridicule.Now, they looked at Xavier with awe—awe and something bordering on reverence.Envy flickered in their eyes, their minds bursting with questions they dared not speak aloud.'Who exactly was this man?'Xavier, however, remained utterly indifferent.From beginning to end, not once did his expression falter.He stood tall, poised, his bearing calm and composed—as if everything happening had already played o
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
