Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 129 - A Shocking Turn of Event
******“This…”Xavier, hearing the old man and feeling his palpable apprehension couldn't help but be stunned, but then a soft smile appeared on his face, knowing that he didn't need to be bothered about how to convince the old man again.Although he had made up his mind to reveal the truth, he had prepared for the old man to not trust him, but now, he knew that the other party wouldn't have any choice but to agree.“They’re here to pick—” he began without hesitation, but then once again, the old man cut him off."Don’t worry, son," his voice came out shaky but surprisingly determined. "I’ll handle this,” he promised and before Xavier could react, talk more, think of stopping him, he stepped out of the car.“This…” Xavier was dumbstruck by this for a moment, his mouth remaining open as he watched the man hurried away.“But… but they’re here to pick me up,” he finally finished quietly not knowing whether to laugh or cry. But the old man was already out of earshot, approaching the
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 130 – Are You A Guest?
*****For what felt like an eternity, but in reality, just a brief moment, the old driver remained frozen in space after what he had just witnessed, utterly stunned with his mouth widely ajar.He continued to gape in absolute disbelief, unable to reconcile the scene before him until finally. ‘Could—could it be that I’m now seeing and hearing things because I haven’t eaten all day?’ he wondered dazedly in his mind, struggling to accept the reality before his eyes.Although he hadn’t seen it firsthand, his deep interest in the Blackwood family and years of listening had made him well aware of the stories and rumors surrounding its elite security forces, which is that intruders were never shown any mercy, no matter what.In fact, there had always been a popular saying that had been circulating among them that; “Execution first, ask later. Yet, here they were, showing an entirely unexpected level of respect that completely contradicted the rumor surrounding them.….“I must be hallu
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 131 – God’s Time’s Shock
*****Although the old man had already witnessed how Xavier was respectfully regarded by the soldiers and had seen his sudden change in aura—assuming an entirely different presence in the blink of an eye, like a savant—he had never really expected that Xavier would actually really be a visitor of the Blackwoods.The Blackwoods—one of the most influential and powerful families in Riverton City, the very family he had rushed to Riverton City for, which he had been yearning all year to encounter, knowing that meeting them would be the breakthrough he needed to finally return to his village and reunite with his daughter. Yet, he had carried someone esteemed enough to be a friend of this family without knowing.If only he had realized who Xavier truly was from the start, he would have never dared to be so brash or dismissive, even cautioning him against meeting his guests.Dang! Would he even have dared to call someone powerful and important enough to become a friend of such a gigantic
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 132 – God’s Time’s Fear
*****For a long time after Xavier and the soldiers departed, God’s Time continued to stay in a daze, constantly reflecting on all the stories and sincere advice he had shared with Xavier—even urging him to go back to his village, believing that the city wasn’t suitable for someone like him.‘I had even considered taking someone as important as that back to the town and suggested that he could spend the night at his home before heading back to his village the next day.’ He also thought.It was only after about twenty minutes that the old man finally came back to his senses, and as soon as he did, a pained, embarrassed smile crossed his face as he released a long, heavy, and deep sigh.“Why did I even decide to assume he was like me, stereotyping him to be a poor person so quickly?” he muttered, feeling an intense urge to find a rabbit hole to crawl into, especially after recalling his opinions about the Blackwoods that he had shared with Xavier.Once again, the old man sighed dee
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 133 – The Three Brothers Anonymity
***** Although it was already late in the night, the interior of the Blackwoods’ estate was still brightly illuminated as if it were midday. The entire place was so well-lit to the extent that even the slightest hint of shadow could not be seen. One might even easily mistake it for daytime without a glimpse of the sky. ‘No wonder he easily gave out that villa without as much as a single hesitation,’ Xavier, taking in the estate’s grandeur couldn’t help but thought to himself as he sat in the car. He finally understood why the old man would willingly part with his prized villa in Oceanview. The Blackwoods’ estate was not just breathtakingly beautiful; even though Oceanview looked like something plucked straight from a painting, it seemed to lack the ethereal charm of this place—as if the Blackwoods’ estate belonged in paradise itself. Unfortunately, however, apart from this aesthetic part of the estate, the divine presence it contains, and the natural formation of heaven
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 134 – The Intensified Sense Of Danger
***** By the time Xavier was deep inside the old man’s villa, the sense of danger had escalated to a level he could no longer ignore. Unable to pinpoint the source, however, he had no option but to keep following, all the while wondering where the threat might be coming from. Though the old man radiated immense power, his strength being the strongest Xavier had encountered since returning to Riverton City—there wasn’t even the slightest trace of malice directed toward himself, and the danger wasn't even coming from him to begin with. The old man’s three sons were a different story. Unlike their father, they constantly looked at him with cold, hostile stares that filled the air with an unspoken but clear threat, however, like their father, the sense of danger being felt by Xavier wasn’t from them, and with all this, Xavier became incredibly perplexed. “So, what’s going on?” Feeling the sense of danger that had now begun to make his pulse race and a chill running down his spi
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 135 – The Old Man’s Dumbfounding Question
*****“You…” Aldric, hearing his second brother’s low grow and knowing he would definitely do what he just said became so terrified that he quickly grabbed his arm, holding it tightly.“Don’t be a fool,” he chastised furiously, his face a mask of warning while his voice heavily tinged with fear and panic. “You act now, and we lose the only chance of ever being able to save Father from his control!”******Meanwhile, unaware of what had just happened between his sons, the Blackwood patriarch wore a prideful smile that he couldn't quite hide right now. “Don’t mock my family’s little strength, young friend. This small amount of strength we possess could barely harm a chicken, let alone level the city,” he replied awkwardly to Xavier’s question, attempting to sound modest but instead coming off as arrogant, and hearing him, Xavier couldn’t help but roll his eyes.Quite the boast,’ he thought before shaking his head, the earlier pressure he had felt fading away, thinking he had finall
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 136 – The Brothers’ Rage
*****Cassandra has always been widely known as the princess of the Blackwoods, being its only grandchild.Apart from her usually stern father, Cassandra had only ever known love, affection, and attention from everyone in her life, especially her grandfather, who had only ever spoiled her beyond what anyone could imagine.He had always gone to the very extreme to ensure her happiness and according to several analyses, it was even said that the old man would rather face the world as an enemy and get chased to the furthest reaches than let the tiniest harm, even the smallest ant touch his cherished and beloved granddaughterThis is the extent to which the old man loves Cassandra and how deeply he cares for her, and she has always known it—which is why he has been her favorite person since childhood.

Chapter 279 – Honey Finally Awakens
*****The representatives stared at Grace in despair, their faces etched with terror after hearing her words.They could tell she wasn’t bluffing, and this… it made several of them struggle to breathe, as though their very lives were slipping away right away before their eyes.How were they supposed to report this back to their companies?What report were they supposed to give when they had been strictly instructed before leaving their respective organizations to only apply pressure on Grace and the Sky Group?They had been repeatedly cautioned not to make the termination of the partnership possible. Instead, they were only told to continue pressing Grace until she eventually caved to Lucius’s demands, and this way, they’d achieve two goals at once: completing Lucius’s goal while still maintaining their partnership with Sky Group. But now…They had recklessly taken matters into their own hands, doing exactly what they had been repeatedly warned against.…The representatives’
Chapter 278 – Lucius’s Furious Exit
*****Grace had never anticipated a conclusion like this.Not even once, why? Because Lucious wasn’t someone anybody in the room dared to offend.Without knowing what to think, she continued gawking at the room like a fool, her mouth remaining agape for what felt like an eternity.It was as though a heavenly force had suddenly sown discord, havoc, and animosity amid her adversaries, all of them clashing with one another in front of her instead of targeting her.This continued like for what seemed an endless stretch of time before suddenly;“You all!”Lucius, the most shocked in the room finally snapped back to reality and snarled, pointing an hysterically trembling finger at Mason, his father, and the group of delegates.In the next moment, the group of delegates, the former receptionist, Nico, his father, and Dorothy’s hearts trembled, a menacing aura abruptly radiating from Lucius, instilling fear in them.Although Lucius wasn’t that formidable, just even an E-ranked fighte
Chapter 277 – Ganging Up Against Lucius
*****For a heartbeat after seeing where Grace’s finger was pointed, the room was frozen, everyone seemingly caught in a suffocating stillness.It did not even look as if the representatives had heard Grace’s disappointing response to them,Their blank stares remained fixed on Lucius, as if in a trance, processing Grace's final words.Meanwhile, Lucius remained frozen, his thoughts spinning wildly. Grace's unexpected gesture—pointing at him and directing the representatives to meet with him—had left him completely paralyzed with shock.This silence, however, didn’t last for long when suddenly;“You’re the real culprit here!” A venomous voice cut through the oppressive quiet, its force akin to a whip cracking in the air.Everyone instantly turned toward the speaker, startled. And very surprisingly, it belonged to Nico.“This.”A wave of shock swept through the room at the sight before them, while Grace's face froze slightly, her disbelief matching everyone else's.Nico, who h
Chapter 276 – Grace’s Vengeance Heart
*****Grace’s initial reason for accompanying the Harrison representatives in the first place had been simple: a courtesy and a gesture of professionalism.But there was another motive, an unspoken and deeply personal one—a quiet hope to glean even if it’s the smallest hint about the reasoning behind the Harrison Conglomerate’s baffling decision to favor Sky Group out of the hundreds of more qualified companies out there Yet, her efforts yielded nothing.Instead, the representatives stood firm in their original statements, insisting without hesitation that it was because only her company deserved it, offering no further explanation beyond that.However, what Grace couldn’t ignore was their demeanor. The instant they stepped out of the room, the two representatives began to treat her with an almost reverential respect, one that felt entirely out of place given Sky Group’s standing relative to the monolithic Harrison Conglomerate.At first, she thought it might have been a tric
Chapter 275 - The Room’s Regret
*****Initially, everyone had thought they knew how the Harrison representative's visit would end.But this... not even Grace or Dorothy, despite their efforts of optimism had seen it coming.They had all assumed the Sky Group’s doom was sealed. That by the time the representatives departed, Grace would have been in ruin—her empire dismantled, her future destroyed beyond repair. And yet… Everything was contrary.A long moment of deafening, suffocating silence continued enveloping the conference room after Grace and the representatives vanished.The air was thick with disbelief, its oppressive pressure nearly tangible, weighing heavily on everyone.Every eye was wide, breaths were held, and the entire room was frozen in suffocating silence.None of them—least of all Lucius and his accomplices—couldn’t accept everything that had unfolded.Hadn’t they betrayed Sky Group in their desperation to align with the Harrisons?Hadn’t they dissolved every contract, severed every tie, and
Chapter 274 – The Two Representatives Depart
*****“This…”Gasps rippled across the room, every person staring in stunned disbelief.Lucius Blackwood—the embodiment of arrogance and wickedness. The untouchable tyrant, who had always acted as though he was above the entire world—was currently… groveling on the floor.This realization hit everyone hard dumbfounding them to the core.However, before the shock barely had time to settle, the loud sound of gulp echoed within the room, breaking through the tense atmosphere and drawing all eyes.It was Mason, and right now, he stood frozen, trembling as though trapped within an icy prison.The representatives also turned their gazes on him, their cold amusement laced with disdain.“You too,” one of them said, pointing directly at Mason. “Without verifying the truth, you made such a cruel suggestion, even daring to call me a stupid actor.”The words were a hammer blow, shattering whatever composure Mason had left.In the next second;“This… this is the devil’s work, sir!” he b
Chapter 273 – Lucius’s Apprehension
*****‘This…’The room became deathly silent momentarily, Mason’s words echoing in the air before finally, all eyes shifted to the patriarch whose expression was still unreadable.Even the two representatives were taken aback by Mason’s suggestion, unable to believe their ears.‘Apprehend us?’ Their minds repeated, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.Ever since joining Harrison’s Conglomerate, this is the first time in their lives to hear such disregard.They stared in a trance, while Nico.Having no idea about the part his son was headed, he only hesitated for a brief second before ultimately leaning closer to his father, his voice low but firm."Father… now isn’t the time to hesitate," he urged, his eyes bright.Instantly, the old man’s gaze turned icy, locking onto Grace.Initially, although he hadn’t entertained the possibility that the two representatives were impostors. Instead, his mind had been in complete blankness, struggling to process the sheer magnitude of the
Chapter 272 – Lucius’s Accusation and Mason’s Heartless Suggestion
*****Although several minutes had already elapsed since the two representatives revealed the major reason for their visit, the conference room remained frozen in an eerie stillness. Every person remained motionless, their gazes vacant, like soulless puppets.It was obvious that none of them had experienced such a profound shock in their lives before.This lasted for several more minutes that felt like hours before finally;"Nonsense!"A thunderous roar forcefully spat, shattering the silence in the room, and snapping everyone back to reality, their hearts suddenly pounding.All eyes directly turned toward the source of the outburst—Lucius.His teeth were clenched so tightly that they seemed ready to shatter right now, his fiery glare locked on the two representatives."Nonsense!" he repeated, his voice dripping with venom and fury as he glared at them as if they were the very embodiment of his wrath.On the other hand, the two representatives exchanged a brief glance before
Chapter 271 – The Harrison Patriarch’s Fear
*****“Father…”As soon as the prime minister departed, the middle-aged man, who had stood respectfully like a bodyguard from the very beginning—the president of the Harrison Conglomerate and the patriarch’s second son—finally mustered the courage to speak.His tone was tense, and his expression was filled with unease, unhappiness, and question as he glanced helplessly at his father who was still beaming foolishly."Do you have any idea the level of chaos this rash decision we’ve taken today would soon cause?" he asked, his voice filled with exasperation.In the following second, the patriarch froze mid-chuckle, his grin fading."What...?" he stammered, staring at his son as if he had just committed a grave offense. "What did you just say?"“I…”The middle-aged man hesitated, briefly doubting himself under his father’s intense gaze, but he quickly steadied himself and heaved a deep, long-drawn sigh."Father, have you perhaps forgotten that Projects Echelon serves another purp
