Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 137 – Xavier’s Unexpected Response
*****While the three brothers could do nothing other than eagerly wait for him to take a bite of the poisoned meal set before him, the unsuspecting Xavier remained stunned by the old man’s question.If only Xavier had known that in the three brothers' eyes, he was nothing more than a malicious demon who had turned their father into a lifeless puppet while aiming to use Cassandra as a means to enter and claim their family, he would have been too stunned to the core and wouldn't be able to react for a long time. The idea that he’d go to such lengths to control the Blackwood patriarch would have been incredibly laughable to him, a ridiculous notion, as he’d never held the family in any regard whatsoeverHad he also understood their true intentions toward him, he would have been incredibly furious—so much so that he’d first laugh in mockery, amused that they wanted him dead based merely on such a flimsy assumption before finally succumbing to anger.Unfortunately, however, Xavier was
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 138 – The Old Man’s Hidden Scheme
*****“Why on earth did I even think this devious bastard would waste time on formalities, first pretending he wasn’t interested all in the name of thinking we are still clueless about his plans?” Darius, after a long period of shock like everyone else, couldn’t help but grit his teeth, his fury reaching its peak.“Can’t we just get rid of him already?” Roland, who had never experienced such intense frustration in his life before acting, muttered through clenched teeth, heat practically steaming from his nostrils as he exhaled sharply from rage and madness.The two brothers, along with Aldric, began to tremble with rage, their fists clenching and unclenching as Xavier’s words struck a nerve.Meanwhile, just a few feet away from the three, the elderly head of the Blackwood family remained oblivious to his sons’ reactions, instead sitting in stunned silence, his gaze fixed on Xavier with a dumbstruck expression on his face from his response to his question.He had initially anticip
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 139 – The Roller-coastal Moment in The Dining Hall
*****Still in the massive dining hall, whose table overflowed with an elaborate feastRight now, although Xavier noticed the brothers' sudden excitement, he didn’t give it much thought. Instead, he just assumed they were happy because they were eager for him to leave, that since he was about to eat, his departure was imminent, so he simply offered a wry smile before ignoring them."Okay," he replied to the old man's request, and just at that moment, he noticed the brothers’ breaths quicken, their gazes becoming several times burning on him, making Xavier’s brows finally raise.‘Are they this disturbed by my presence?’ he wondered, sensing their heightened agitation. But with a light shrug, he finally turned his attention to the table, observing the numerous golden platters neatly and orderly arranged on it, all covered and waiting to be opened.In front of him only, eight golden plates of varying sizes lay, and knowing he was the center of attention, Xavier reached slowly toward
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 140 – Xavier’s Shocking Revelation
*****“What do you think of it?” the old man hurriedly asked after he saw Xavier done savoring the portion he had eaten, not noticing the bloodthirsty atmosphere filling the hall. Hearing him, Xavier offered a faint smile.“It’s not bad,” he replied, but no sooner had he finished speaking, however, than suddenly;“Hmph!” A sharp, furious snort cut through the room.“Not bad?” Cassandra’s voice sharpened, incensed at what she saw as Xavier’s conceit. “Do you even know what fish you just ate?” she asked icily, not waiting for a reply before growling in anger. “That fish is incredibly rare—one of only three in Riverton City, which Grandfather had spent billions in acquiring, treating it like a priceless treasure, and yet you dare to call it ‘not bad’?” Her tone dripped with loathing, furious to the core at Xavier, thinking he was just being arrogant like usual.“This…” Xavier, who had been surprisingly generous in his comment, since the taste hadn’t even reached “not bad” with how
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 141 – The Old Man’s Main Aim
*****If everyone had initially dismissed Xavier’s words as a mere rambling of a fool, that assumption had completely shattered after he had revealed the vital information regarding their Blackwood's most closely guarded treasure, and now, hearing him repeat the previous words that had infuriated them to the peak garnered a different reaction from them which was completely opposite of the first.For what felt like an eternity, they sat frozen, mouths agape, staring at Xavier as if he were some otherworldly creature, his words leaving them struggling to process what he’d just revealed.How scary is their family’s technique? Something that had always been revered by all the power in Riverton City and one of the rare top-tier cultivation methods in the entire nation.That’s not all, it is this same technique that had propelled their family from obscurity to a dominating force centuries ago. And now, he was insinuating that this powerful legacy was… was nothing but a mere replica, not
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 142 – The Never-expected Technique’s History
*****Meanwhile, not knowing the thought going through their father’s mind or all of his cooked-up plans, otherwise, the brothers would have almost died of embarrassment, none of the Blackwood family members seated around the huge dining table could react at first, the old man’s words hanging heavily in the silence.They sat frozen in place, gaping at the old patriarch in absolute shock. Not even Darius, typically the sharpest among them, had ever suspected anything like this in his life no matter the research he had done to find the source of his father’s strange and constantly worse illness.This lasted for a moment before finally; Darius found his voice. “Fa—father… do you truly mean what you had just said?” He carefully inquired, his question instantly jolting everyone back to awareness, their eyes snapping to the old man in concern.“Why did you keep such important information from us?” Aldric asked, his voice tight with worry, gazing at the old man, while Roland...“Could i

*****"I..." Darius's voice faltered as he took in his eldest brother's question, momentarily stunned. He then glanced around, and upon feeling the weight of everyone's gazes intensely fixated on himself, he felt uncomfortable and gave a subtle shake of his head, reading their silent accusations from their gazes."You… you really knew?" Roland gasped, his voice breaking the silence that had enveloped the room, laden with shock.He stared at Darius, disbelief etching deep lines on his face, and his other brother mirrored his expression, stunned that their third brother would actually withhold such a piece of earth-shattering information from them.Meanwhile, Darius, seeing the look of betrayal in his brothers' eyes which pierced straight through him was paralyzed for a heartbeat, but then he returned to his senses and quickly shook his head more firmly. "It's not what you think, brothers," he said quietly, his voice almost pleading, but Roland’s gaze remained hard, while Aldric’s f
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 144
*****Gaping at Xavier in utter disbelief as he calmly eats his meal and savors each bite as though he hadn’t a single care in the world, entirely indifferent to the devastating revelations that had just shaken the room, everyone’s jaws couldn’t help but nearly hit the floor.‘He… he actually still has the mood to eat, enjoying his food like nothing has anything to do with him?’ they thought in an absolute stupor, glancing at one another in stunned silence.After a moment, the family exchanged wry smiles and shook their heads, dismissing their fears. Clearly, Xavier did not care in the least about their family’s ‘huge secret that could turn their entire world upside down, which they had long been safeguarding.They were lost in these thoughts for a moment until eventually, the old man resumed, undeterred by the brief interruption. “According to the pattern that helped me uncover this truth,” he said calmly, “each of our ancestors' decline followed the same path as mine. First, the

Chapter 343 – Xavier’s Unexpected Offer
*****While Elliot’s mind spiraled in chaos, drowning in regret and pain, God’s Time could only stare at Xavier, tears pouring down his face like a broken dam.He had spent his entire life doing what he believed was right—helping others in the best way he knew how, without expecting anything in return.Yet, never — not even once in his wildest dreams had he imagined that great heart of kindness... of helping people with no expectation for return would one day be the very thing that saved his life.It helped him out in his direst, most hopeless, and weakest state.Gave him a second chance.A chance to live.And a chance to start over.Thinking this, God’s Time couldn’t help but clench his teeth tightly against each other, his chest heaving with the weight of his emotions. Then, sniffing hard, he nodded his head repeatedly, appearing as if he was sealing an unspoken vow.“Even… even if I have to do good until the day I die… even if kindness would end up taking my life,” he whis
Chapter 342 – Elliot’s Regret
*****By the time the husband and wife’s emotional outburst ultimately settled, several minutes had already passed.Realizing what she had done, Selene awkwardly let go of her husband and jumped to her feetThe ward fell into a heavy silence afterward, broken only by the occasional sniffle or shaky breath.Finally, however, God’s Time turned back to Xavier, his eyes swollen and red.He didn’t speak immediately.Instead, he stared, as if trying to reconcile the image of the boy he thought Xavier was with the man who had shattered his expectations beyond miles.The night they had met flashed through his mind like scenes from a fractured dream.He had assumed Xavier was also a lost soul — a wanderer like himself, someone who had fled his village in search of a greener pasture, not knowing that he would only be swallowed by the harshness of the city like himself and the others.He had even offered Xavier a place to stay in his crumbling home, thinking he was doing the boy a favor
Chapter 341 – What Did I Even Walk Into
*****Right now, the ward felt warm.Way too warm. The kind of warmth that didn’t come from sunlight or cozy conversations but from a tension so heavy it thickened the air.Xavier, the only one seated after being practically forced into a chair, felt this weight pressing down on him, so he sat awkwardly, his fingers lightly tapping against his knee, his sharp eyes flickering between Elliot and his father.The two men stood before him like sentries, bombarding him with an endless stream of gratitude.They thanked him for liberating their neighborhood.For shattering the chains of years-long oppression.For stepping into their chaos like an angel of vengeance and fighting a war that wasn’t his to fight.Their words tumbled over each other, their spits flying as they praised him relentlessly.Xavier, however, could only offer a faint, helpless smile in response.He was the one who had told them moments ago not to be tensed, but…He felt like he was suffocating, why?He wasn
Chapter 340 - Xavier’s Arrival
*****God’s Time remained frozen on his bed, his battered body stiffening as Selene’s trembling words settled like ice in his chest.Although he hadn’t heard what his wife had done, he could already guess what it meant, given that he knew his wife even more than the back of his hand.His heart began to thunder painfully against his ribs, the steady beeping of the heart monitor accelerating.“What… what do you mean?” he rasped, his voice brittle with anxiousness. “What… what did you do?”Selene, seeing what her words had caused clenched her fists, her entire body quivering.Tears began to slowly well up in her swollen, exhausted eyes, shimmering with regret so raw it seemed to swallow her whole.She wanted to take back her actions.To erase it.She wished she hadn’t done it, but…Some things just couldn’t be undone once done.Her lips parted, and in a voice brimming and fractured by guilt, she slowly and tremblingly recounted her actions — the betrayal she wished had never h
Chapter 339 - The Room’s Shock
*****Selene’s question hung in the air like a blade, sharp and unforgiving.Elliot and his father’s heads snapped toward God’s Time, their eyes wide with the same burning curiosity that had plagued them since the chaos had subsided.It wasn’t just a question. It was the question.How could God’s Time, a humble taxi driver with no background whatsoever, know someone like Xavier, and when?He did not just know Xavier—but had him storm through a warzone on his behalf, tearing through cops and the corrupt landlord like they were nothing.It made no sense.Given the sheer power Xavier had wielded—the terrifying strength, the Blackwood connections, the aura of someone who could crush entire lives with a glance—they couldn’t fathom why God’s Time had ever struggled despite knowing someone like that.Why hadn’t he used this connection this entire time?Why had he suffered in their neighborhood for so many years, scraping by under the weight of poverty and abuse?He could’ve lived i
Chapter 338 - God’s Time Disbelief
*****“Huff!”Xavier, in the back of the taxi, who presently had absolutely no idea that trouble was already closing in on him from all directions suddenly groaned, smacking himself on the forehead.“I have completely forgotten about the branch I planned to visit today,” he muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible.Just then;“Are you all right, sir?”The driver at the front, noticing Xavier’s sudden movement through the rearview mirror, abruptly asked with concern, snapping Xavier out of his thoughts.“I think so,” Xavier, after a moment of hesitation sighed, rubbing his temple.Hearing him, the driver gave a small nod and, deciding not to pry further, then he announced;“We’ve arrived at your destination.”“Huh?”Xavier blinked, completely taken aback for a moment before looking outside.He frowned in the next moment.“That was fast,” he murmured in a daze before shaking his head. ‘I must’ve been so lost in thought that I completely tuned out my surroundings,
Chapter 337 – Frosh’s Plan for Revenge
*****Meanwhile, back in the room Vidor had just vacated."Brother." A frail 17-year-old boy with ghostly pale skin suddenly stepped through the door beside the room.One of his arms was intact, while the other was missing, with bandages wrapped around the stump where it should have been, his garish outfit starkly contrasted with his delicate appearance.The instant the brawny, bald man, who had been utterly lost in his thought as he smoked his cigarette heard this voice, his head snapped up.In the following second, the ice-cold, murderous glint in his eyes thawed, replaced by something softer—concern, tenderness, and pure love.“Little bro, I told you to rest. What the hell are you doing here?” he demanded in a voice brimming with concerned anger, rushing over to help the frail young man into a chair.The boy’s crimson-rimmed eyes, swollen from silent and never-ending sobbing instantly locked onto his brother’s face.“I… I just can’t sleep, brother,” he murmured, voice quive
Chapter 336 – Vidor’s Helplessness and Rage
*****As Xavier walked away from Oceanview Estate, his mind churned with thoughts of everything that had just transpired.Then, suddenly—“I think it’s about time I settled the score with them.”He muttered to himself, his voice very low, almost a whisper to himself, but the weight behind his words was undeniable.In the following second, his gaze turned icy, and a murderous aura erupted from him, raw and unfiltered.Jennifer and Victor.He had suffered because of them.Because of her.She had been the catalyst, the one who had set everything in motion.Thinking this, Xavier couldn’t help but clench his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, the memories of the past coming flooding back—Jennifer. The woman he had once loved.The only reason he had been wrongfully accused and sent to rot away in the scariest prison in the world.But had she taken care of his parents? Looked after his company, his house, and belongings in his absence?No!She had ruined them.
Chapter 335 – Jennifer and Victor’s Terror
*****While the soldier was busy wrestling with his thoughts, still trying to understand the reason behind Xavier’s silence, Jennifer and Victor had been staring at him like hawks, all sorts of speculation running wild between them, each entertaining the same unsettling thought—just what kind of identity could Xavier possibly have?The soldier’s words earlier words had shaken them to the core, forcing them to reconsider everything they thought they knew about Xavier.Jennifer’s heart spiked in her chest.‘Could he really have some sort of an identity we should be concerned about now?’ She wondered anxiously, the mere possibility sending a strong chill down her spine.If true, she was sure the regret would haunt her for the rest of her life.Victor, on the other hand, clenched his fists tightly, his gut twisting in unease.Given his history with Xavier, he understood well that the only way to maintain his peace was to continue staying ahead in every way. If Xavier had managed to
