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

*****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

*****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

*****A thick, impenetrable silence filled the hall at this moment, leaving everyone seated in stunned stillness, struggling to process Darius’s words.They continued sitting lifeless, looking as though they had just received the most tragic news of all time, the atmosphere so suffocating that if an ordinary person were to enter right now, they would faint even before they took their second step.This continued for what felt like an eternity until finally; “Third… third brother, what happened? What’s going on?” Aldric, Cassandra’s father stammered, his shaky voice cutting through the oppressive stillness that had settled over the hall. And at his words, everyone quickly turned to Darius, the second most tragic-looking person in the room right now other than the old man.“I…” Darius’s mouth opened, a look of difficulty appearing on his face before he eventually shook his head. “If I told you I understood what went wrong, it would be nothing but a monstrous lie,” he responded with a

***** Although they had clung to hope, thinking that since Xavier fully understood their plight in such detail, there was a probability that he might also hold the answer to save them, none of them had truly expected that he would actually have the solution. And with this, a long, stretched moment passed, with everyone sitting motionless, staring at him with dazed expressions, as if their minds had short-circuited, lost in a whirlwind of disbelief. 'Is this… could this be a miracle? Another chance for my family, for my son?' The old man felt a chill creep over him, his hands trembling and eyes turning crimson red with unshed tears as he looked at Xavier, his heart both hopeful and afraid. This continued until finally, after a while of turning Xavier’s response over and over again in his mind, his aged face, which had been worn beyond his years just a moment ago seemed to return to normal and eventually, he could no longer hold himself back again. “Young… young friend!” he cri

***** “I*… ignorantly poi—poisoned him?” The frail Blackwood patriarch stood trembling, his once-commanding presence having faded to a ghostly shadow, weak and visibly terrified as he stuttered in absolute disbelief, swallowing hard as Darius’s words sank in. “We…” The three brothers stood frozen there, their faces deathly pale and eyes wide with shock as they stared at Xavier’s unmoving body on the floor. Like the old man, their minds were also paralyzed with disbelief right now, having forgotten what they had done due to the recent turn of events. It was as if their very souls had abandoned them at this moment, leaving them hollow for what felt like an eternity before finally, they comprehended the magnitude of what they had done—the plotting, the poison, and the twisted thrill they’d initially felt about Xavier’s downfall. Before long, a heavy silence blanketed the room, the brothers unsure how to react for a moment until finally; “You fools!” The old man roared in rage, thick
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 148
*****The Blackwoods hadn’t just assumed Xavier had died when he had slumped to the floor a moment ago. They had come to this conclusion after feeling every trace of vitality slip away from his body, leaving behind only a lifeless shell that seemed far beyond salvation which was why they had not bothered seeking treatment for him. Now… now, however…'How… how is this possible? Aldric, who had supplied the poison that Xavier had ingested, thought in absolute shock after a long time had passed, feeling as if his senses were betraying him.He had gone to extraordinary lengths to obtain the deadliest toxin he could find, a venom rumored to be unstoppable in all of Riverton. Yet here was Xavier, not in any way looking like someone who had just eaten a whole lot of it.Like Aldric, everyone else remained lost in their thoughts, still dumbstruck by the sight of the emotionless eyes fixed upon them. And just like that, the enormous dining hall remained shrouded in breathless silence, with

Chapter 445 – The Changed Little Lola
*****David's gaze dropped to his hands—wrinkled, toughened by labor, marked by time. His eyes shimmered with unshed tears, glistening beneath the store’s ambient lighting.Finally, in a soft, hoarse voice, he spoke:“…Alright, son.”He cleared his throat, then stood a little straighter.“I’ll pick something for myself. Something decent.”Xavier didn’t say a word, but the small upward curve of his lips spoke volumes. It was a smile of pride, quiet victory, and deep affection.David turned to Amelia. “Could you show me where the men’s section is? Something for… older men?”Xavier immediately let out a long-suffering groan and rolled his eyes.“Father, come on. You’re not that old, you know? Just find something that would suit the younger you. You might even surprise yourself.”David snorted and gave his son a playful glare, but didn’t argue. Deep down, he felt just a little lighter, a little freer.Amelia, smiling now with renewed warmth, nodded eagerly and guided David towa
Chapter 445 – Changing David’s Train of Thought
*****“Father, why don’t you have a look around? Pick something you like—anything at all.”David furrowed his brows immediately and gave his son a long, sideways glance. “Do I strike you as the kind of man who goes window shopping?” he grumbled. “Besides, I’m not exactly young anymore. I’ve got enough clothes to last me until the end of my days. You focus on yourself, your mother, and the little one. I don’t need anything new.”His tone was firm… blunt even, leaving no room for argument.Xavier studied his father silently for a few seconds upon hearing him. He had expected that reaction, yet it still left him a little speechless.Ultimately, he sighed with mild exasperation. “Dad…”He paused, a gentle frown creasing his brow.“Back when I was little until I went away, even when you were working day and night just to make ends meet, you never once splurged on yourself. Every dime you earned, you poured into the family. I still remember you always arguing with Mother about how ‘a
Chapter 444 – The Emotional Little Lola
*****Xavier didn’t reply to the sales assistant immediately.Instead, he turned gradually, his eyes softening as they settled on Little Lola. At this very instant, the young girl’s expression was alight with wonder.Her sparkling eyes, wide with amazement, were fixed intently in a specific direction. The longing shimmering within them was unmistakable.It was a gaze so pure, so filled with innocent yearning, that anyone watching could instantly recognize it—she had discovered something that had utterly captivated her heart.Without a second thought, Xavier followed the trail of her gaze.His eyes landed squarely upon a delicately displayed princess-style gown hanging under a spotlight.The dress was exquisite, crafted with a meticulous blend of pastel colors, and adorned with intricate embroidery that resembled blooming spring flowers. The lace hem rippled like waves frozen in time, and floral patterns danced along the fabric, giving the gown an ethereal, fairytale-like charm.
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

*****“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
