Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 117 – Dorothy & Grace’s Embarrassment
*****"This... are you... are you truly the owner of this mansion—Villa Number One?" After a long pause, Dorothy, finally unable to contain her shock, confusion, and question again stammered, breaking the silence that had enveloped the three of them.Xavier, hearing the question, turned his head and stared at her for a moment, as if processing the inquiry.His expression remained blank for a moment until suddenly, a mischievous grin slowly spread across his face, followed by a lighthearted, playful chuckle"What do you think?" he asked teasingly, winking mischievously at Dorothy, but then not waiting for her to respond, he recalled something and instantly continued, smoothly changing the topic with his tone remaining playful and his voice laced with amusement."Don’t you think this place is far too shabby and insecure for someone as important as your boss?" he asked and in the following second, both Dorothy and Grace were left speechless for a moment, staring dazedly at Xavier, u
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 118 – Nico’s Report
*****“Father, I have something urgent to report to you,” a rather distressed and confused Nico abruptly declared as he entered the secondary living room of the Sky family estate, which although a luxury on its own by lower family standards, the room seemed dull and ordinary compared to the grandeur of the first-rank or even the second-rank families that have first rank families as their backer.The old Patriarch of the Sky family, who was lounging lazily in a recliner while sipping his tea and watching the news immediately shifted his gaze to the side upon hearing his son’s tense voice, a frown appearing on his aged features.“This has something to do with that little wench, right? Has she brought trouble to the family again?” he inquired in a gruff tone, suspicion lacing his words, and as soon as Nico heard his question, he hurriedly nodded his head but then shook it again after what felt like another thought.“Huh?” the old man’s frown intensified in confusion. “What’s the mean
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 119 – The Father’s, Son’s Cunningness
*****“This...” Nico’s expression couldn’t help but grow grim upon noticing his father’s reaction to the report.He had never heard of the Bloodfang group before today, yet, seeing his father’s current response, it was clear that the organization wasn’t an unknown one as he had initially assumed, but something scarier, probably than Nightshadow.‘But why is there no record of it anywhere though?’ he pondered for a moment before pushing the thought aside and refocusing his attention on his father.“Do you know them, Father?” he asked gravely, startling the old man from his thoughts.‘This...’ The elder man swallowed hard, realizing that his back had become unconsciously soaked with cold sweat. It was as though he had just heard of the most terrifying and dangerous group to ever exist.Letting out a deep breath, he focused his gaze back on Nico. “No,” he replied, leaving Nico unable to react for a moment after which his jaw dropped, looking perplexed. He had never expected this re
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 120 – Almost Caught By The Parents
*****Laura and David couldn’t believe their ears for what felt like an eternity, staring in a daze at Xavier as though he had just delivered the worst news to have ever existed.While the two had sensed that something didn’t seem quite right with Xavier and Grace’s sudden marriage, they had never anticipated that the two would part ways so quickly—on the very day of their wedding, not even waiting for a day or two.After a brief moment of silence, Laura finally managed to process Xavier's report and in the following second, she seemed to have suddenly experienced a panic attack.Her breathing grew rapid and her chest started heaving hysterically up and down, as though she were on the verge of departing with the grim reaper and joining the underworld, and seeing this, both Xavier and David were instantly alarmed.“Wife!!!”“Mother!!!”The father-son duo cried out in distress, rushing over to Laura.“Are you okay?” they both inquired, their concern evident, and only then—hearin
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 121 – Grace & Dorothy’s Conclusion And Concern
*****“Boss, are you really going to move in with tha... with him?” Dorothy's voice, though barely above a whisper abruptly shattered the silence in the Audi A6 as it sped away from the stunning Oceanview estate.She had been forcing herself to hold back the question, but now, she couldn’t keep it in any longer, and as soon as Grace, sitting in the back seat, with her countenance already returning to the cold goddess of the business world known by everyone, heard this question, she was jolted back from her thought and glanced briefly at Dorothy in the driver’s seat, then turned her gaze back to the passing scenery outside the window.“Hmmm.” She responded indifferently before returning to being lost in her thoughts again.….What he said earlier was nothing but the truth,’ she thought, her brows knitted together. ‘If we live desperately, grandfather and his relatives will soon see through our marriage, and the troubles will never end,’ she sighed inwardly.In truth, Grace had al
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 122 – Janet’s Hatred
*****"How dare that b!tch not return to her office yet!? She must still be with that vile spawn!" Inside a somewhat dark room thick with tension, an enraged and ferocious Dominic, who had turned into an entirely different person from the don known to the world, suddenly snarled, his grip on the wine glass of wine in his hand tightening until finally;“Damn her!!!” He hissed, his teeth grinding against each other and then unable to hold his emotions together again: the glass flew from his hand, shattering against the wall like the fragile threads of his composure, causing the secretary nearby to flinch slightly.The secretary had already gone pale, overwhelmed by the intense aura emanating from her E-rank fighter boss, an aura that would have long crushed ordinary people.She watched in absolute stupor as her typically calm and composed boss lost his temper and control, something she had never seen before despite having worked with him for years.'That b!tch is certainly so fortu
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 123 – The Herb’s Market
*****After leaving Oceanview Estate, Xavier hailed a taxi to the largest herb market in the city, thinking he’d be able to easily locate the ingredients he needed for concocting the medicines his parents needed. Unfortunately, however, he only managed to find a few of the minor components, and no matter how thoroughly he searched, there was not even the faintest sign of the others.As for the main ingredients, the ones that would truly make the medicines he was going to concoct work, which couldn’t be swapped nor absent, it was as if no one in the market had ever heard of them before, so elusive that it felt as if Xavier was the one who had imagined their existence.'What do I do now?' Holding a plastic bag with the handful of ingredients he was able to gather, Xavier after realizing that the things he was searching for weren't present in the market stood at the side, looking completely helpless and frustrated.Despite the market’s vast size, he had already circled it five time
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 124 – The Pitiful Little Girl
*****Xavier didn’t depart immediately after the little girl had gone, instead, he observed her as she hurried over to a street vendor, eagerly handing over the money he had just given her, her eyes locked on the noodles she was about to buy as though it was a sort of delicacy which anyone would die for.Eventually, after making sure the little girl was okay, he sighed deeply and then brushed off the emotions that threatened to surface, before turning and leaving the market.Barely five minutes after Xavier had left, however, four scruffy-looking roadside gangsters appeared in front of the little girl, who was crouched on the ground, happily devouring the bland-looking noodles she had just purchased as though it were the most delicious meal she had ever tasted in her life.“I see you’ve got cash on you to buy such an expensive-looking meal,” the man who seemed to be the leader, a cigarette dangling from his lips, said abruptly, and the instant the little girl, who was lost in her

Chapter 443 – High Fashion Sales Representative’s Conflicting Thought
*****At that exact moment, inside the pristine and silent interior of the High Fashion boutique, the sales associate… Amelia stood frozen in mild disbelief, her gaze currently locked on the four individuals who had just stepped through the glass doors.For a heartbeat, she genuinely believed her senses were deceiving her.The familiar chime of the doorbell had rung just a second ago, an event so rare it might as well have been mythical.In the entire stretch of weeks—perhaps months—she’d manned this boutique, the only times the entrance had opened were when she arrived for her shift, or during scheduled inspections from upper management.When the chime sounded just now, her heart had jolted in her chest, and her head had instinctively lifted, her eyes widening in hopeful anticipation. The stagnant air of the boutique had carried a different energy this time—one that made her pulse race ever so slightly.She had been employed here for close to half a year now, and in all that ti
Chapter 442 – High Fashion Boutique
*****“Huh? Don’t tell me my eyes are deceiving me!”Inside the Dior boutique that Xavier and his family had just exited, a loud exclamation shattered the buzzing atmosphere. One of the sales reps stood frozen, her expression twisted in shock and disbelief.Her colleagues instantly turned toward her with a frown, clearly annoyed. “What’s the matter with you?” One of them inquired.“This…” The sales rep pointed toward the glass windows, her finger trembling slightly.“Aren’t those the poor paupers from a moment ago? Don’t tell me they’re actually trying to enter that boutique.”The moment her voice echoed through the store, all heads swiveled sharply toward the boutique’s glass doors. Like magnets, every gaze snapped toward the opposite side of the corridor—toward Xavier and his family.They were currently walking into the High Fashion boutique.Gasps erupted one after the other in the next second.“They’re trying to enter High Fashion? What do they think they’re doing in ther
Chapter 441 – Revenge Process
*****Sarah wasn’t just suggesting they leave. She was pleading. Her voice carried quiet desperation, a maternal instinct to protect her son from further escalation—even at the cost of her pride.It was the kind of voice that forced Xavier to pause. That kind of plea couldn’t be ignored.His chest rose and fell with labored breaths. Every fiber of his being screamed to retaliate, to put every single person in their place. But he swallowed it—barely.Instead, he took a deep breath, locking away the storm inside.His gaze turned frigid as he scanned every face in the room—memorizing them, engraving their expressions into his memory. He would not forget this. Not a single face would escape the reckoning.He turned around.“Let’s go,” he said quietly.And they moved.But the crowd wasn’t finished. Their parting words were even more venomous than before.“Idiots. Delusional morons who don’t know their place.”“Coming here to steal glances, probably to steal garments too.”“They
Chapter 440 – Receiving Showers of Spiteful, Venomous, and Vicious Insults
*****“Did someone call for cleaners?” she asked, her tone dry.The attendant’s colleagues looked equally puzzled. “Cleaners? I didn’t call anyone.”“Did any of you request maintenance or janitorial support?” she asked aloud to the others.A series of headshakes followed.Realizing this, the woman turned toward Xavier’s group, an irritated look of disgust forming on her face.“You heard them, didn’t you?” she said, her tone dipped in sarcasm. “No one called for help. I don’t know which shop summoned you, but clearly, you’ve lost your way.”Her words cut through the air, sharp and dismissive.The moment Xavier heard her, his expression darkened.He didn’t say anything right away, but the glint in his eyes dimmed, replaced by a quiet storm.Sarah and David, on the other hand, immediately felt the heat of embarrassment crawl up their skin. Sarah looked as if she wanted to disappear while David clenched his fists silently.Meanwhile, the innocent Little Lola looked confused, he
Chapter 439 – Did Anybody Called For Cleaners?
*****At present, inside an extravagant compound brimming with a vast array of elite vehicles—sleek sports cars, luxurious sedans, and custom-built SUVs, four modestly dressed individuals stood somewhat out of place, quietly observing their opulent surroundings.The entire space was bustling with stylishly adorned people, many exuding an aura of refined affluence, their outfits screaming wealth and taste.Amid this upscale paradise stood four very out-of-place figures.One, a young man with striking composure and a calm aura, looked unbothered as if the dazzling show of wealth and grandeur around him had no power to stir his heart.He stood with an air of composed indifference, his posture relaxed yet confident.Beside this handsome, refined young man in faded, casual attire, stood an older couple, who looked visibly unsettled.Despite their plain, worn clothing, it wasn’t their faded attire or lean physiques that made them stand out. It was the sheer discomfort etched into the
Chapter 438 – Going For Shopping
*****Although he had already assured his father and he had already accepted, Xavier, however, could sense something lingering beneath his composed exterior.A subtle crease formed between his brows, and his gaze remained distant—thoughtful, perhaps even troubled.“Are you still worried about her background?” Xavier asked, his voice quiet but direct.The question seemed to jolt David from his reverie. He looked at his son for a long second, then let out a slow, burdened sigh.“It’s not that I dislike the little girl’s presence in our life… it’s the other way, in fact,” he began. “But given her history… how fragile her heart is, the trauma she’s been through—your mother didn’t hesitate to claim her as our granddaughter.” He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.“But what if her other family members come looking for her? What if they think we’ve kidnapped her and filed a police report? Would we be able to get out of it?”That hit Xavier like a splash of cold water.He blinked, mo
Chapter 437 – An Unexpected Topic
*****By the time Xavier finished preparing his meal, the living room was once again filled with warmth and laughter.Sarah had just completed Little Lola’s braid, and the results were stunning.The little girl stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself with such unfiltered joy that it made even Xavier pause.She looked like a radiant soul—pure, innocent… like a tiny princess in a fairy tale.“Beautiful…” she whispered over and over, looking utterly entranced by her reflection.Her eyes sparkled brightly in their sockets with genuine awe as if she couldn’t believe the image staring back was truly her.“Little Lola has never been this beautiful in her whole life,” she said, her voice as serious as a judge delivering a verdict.The adults exchanged amused glances.The words sounded like self-praise, something that would normally come off as vain, but the way she said it—so sincerely and so innocently, it simply melted hearts instead.Sarah chuckled softly, brushing a few s
Chapter 436 – A Moment Of Peace
*****It was already well past noon when Xavier finally stepped out of the bank.The sun was high, the day bustling, but he felt oddly calm like a storm had passed and he’d emerged standing.Without wasting any more time, he hailed a taxi and headed straight back to Oceanview Estate.Villa Number One welcomed him with open arms and warmth that immediately softened the weariness on his face.Inside, a quiet domestic scene played out that made Xavier’s heart lift.His mother, Sarah, was gently braiding Little Lola’s hair, her hands moving with patient care.The little girl, on the other hand, sat excitedly, her legs swinging off the chair, occasionally giggling at something being said.Xavier’s father, David, sat nearby, animatedly telling stories that made both Sarah and Lola smile.For a brief moment, Xavier stood still, soaking it in.The warmth. The peace. The kind of scene he’d always dreamed of growing up.He almost didn’t want to move or speak, not wanting to shatter t
Chapter 435 – A Bitter Awakening
*****Brenda stood still at this moment, her eyes glassy with unshed tears as regret stormed her thoughts.Her mind drifted backward, replaying every decision, every turning point, every slip into arrogance.‘I couldn’t find any proper job for years after graduation,’ she thought, biting down on her trembling lip. ‘I was close to becoming homeless… starving. I couldn’t even afford a loaf of bread, let alone rent or dignity.’Her fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into her palms as her soul twisted in guilt.‘And when I finally got this job—this opportunity—through a lucky break, I vowed to cherish it. I swore I’d be loyal, that I’d treat it like my life depended on it. That I would never, ever be fired.’She blinked, and the tears finally began to sting her eyes.‘But what did I become after just a few months…?’The reflection tore through her like glass.She looked utterly broken, her once-proud aura now reduced to a shell of defeat. Her confident stride had vani
