Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 149
***** Moments ago, the three brothers had been filled with questions about how Xavier had managed to survive such a potent poison, but now, none dared to ask. They clenched their fists, frustration, embarrassment, and regret bubbling beneath their skin after hearing his spiteful words, something no one had dared to utter before to them. The tension lingered in the air, thick and suffocating for a long time. But then suddenly; “Thud!” An unexpected, resounding thud echoed through the hall, jolting everyone from their silence. Upon tracing the sound, they realized it came from Darius who had fallen to his knees before Xavier, his expression a mixture of desperation and anguish as he pleaded. “Young master,” he began, his voice trembling and thick with remorse, “I know forgiveness is too much to ask, especially after we had nearly taken your life without hesitation. But… but please, could you in your mercy put all the blame on me. I misjudged the truth due to checking the wron
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 150
*****“If luck and fate are truly on your side,” a calm, detached voice resonated through the eerily silent dining hall, where the pile of dishes on the large dining table lay untouched. Every gaze, every flicker, and ounce of focus, riveted on the speaker—a lean, tall, and incredibly man of unwavering composure, Xavier."Reaching the final stage of this technique is remarkably simple," he continued, his tone devoid of warmth as ever. "The benefits are twofold. First, the practitioner would gain unparalleled spiritual and physical strength, able to surpass ranks and defeat opponents far above them. And second..." Xavier's words floated out with the authority of a grandmaster imparting ancient wisdom rather than someone facing people whom he currently felt an unprecedented level of disgust for. He paused, his expression impassive, before resuming."The second benefit is that the practitioner would essentially become immune to aging and death." His words hung in the air, deepening th
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 151
*****As soon as everyone in the huge dining hall heard this emotionlessly cold voice, they instinctively turned their gazes toward the source of the sound, and upon seeing the speaker: Xavier, their hearts skipped a beat, and it felt as though they had been doused in cold water, each of them trembling for a moment as they subconsciously recalled what they had done to their savior.If before Xavier had given them this technique, they had felt guilty and apologetic, that was merely because of misunderstanding and betraying him. Now, however, feeling the insane level of the technique given to them by him and knowing how priceless it was, they felt a massive level of shame, remorse, and regret.'Aish, why didn’t we even give him a moment of doubt? Would someone with such a valuable resource that could bring all the first-rank powers in the city to their knees even need any reason to turn my father into a puppet and seize the family’s resources?' The three brothers couldn’t help but th

*****‘I really wish it wouldn’t come to this level and you’d be a friend, but I—I’m sorry, I can’t take the risk of leaving fire on my roof,’ the old man, staring at Xavier with such a stare that hides a level of killing intent which no one could believe thought and then an item appeared in his hand, which he was going to invoke, to summon all the hidden strength hiding in the mansion when suddenly, without any forewarning—“Would you really judge an entire family for the actions of just three of its members?” A soft, pleading voice cut through the tension in the room, catching everyone off guard, especially the elderly man.As soon as they turned to look at the owner, they saw Cassandra, her gaze locked unwaveringly on Xavier’s back, her expression both defiant and determined, unaware that her grandfather had just condemned Xavier to death.Meanwhile, hearing her question, Xavier, having just reached the doorway and about to exit, paused, making a tense silence once again fill t
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 153
*****As mentioned before, Cassandra had always been treated like a princess by everyone in her family, practically indulged, and as a result, she had developed an innate pride from childhood, even without realizing it.This haughtiness had also led her to subconsciously look down on others, never truly valuing anybody apart from her family, because, first, her family was among the most influential in the city, and second, she was the sole third-generation descendant, unlike the third-generation descendants from the other prominent families who had to compete and share resources.Initially, everybody apart from her father hadn’t minded, but in recent years, their concern for her had grown significantly, fearing that with her inflated standards—so far above anything Riverton or nearby cities could offer—she might never find anyone suitable for marriage, yet… yet, right now…For what seemed like an eternity after Cassandra’s proposal, no one could react, instead, disbelief and shock
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 154
*****“This…” Even after a long time had passed after hearing Xavier’s shocking and never-expected question, none of the Blackwood would return to their senses.They continued standing in an absolute stupor, gaping at him as if they had just discovered he was an alien and not the human they had originally thought him to be.His words continued to reverberate over and over again in their minds, and they continued refusing to believe their ears, not wanting to accept that Xavier had really said what they had heard.This was especially true for Cassandra, whose faint respect and sense of apology toward Xavier had shattered the moment she assumed he had been so easily won over by a woman.She continued standing there, numb and dumb, replaying his question in disbelief until finally…“You…” she raised a trembling finger toward Xavier, her voice choking with anger and confusion. “You… you clearly said that when… when…” she tried to recall any moment when Xavier had explicitly agreed t
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 155
***** Although this wasn’t the first time Xavier had stated he hadn’t agreed to marry Cassandra, everyone, hearing him again reacted as if it were the first time—only now, their shock was even greater. They all stared at Xavier in stunned silence, some of them so shocked they didn’t even realize they were drooling. While his scornful words were only meant for Cassandra, they struck them all like the voice of a devil. This was especially true for Cassandra, who had never been spoken to in a way even remotely as harsh as Xavier had just addressed her in her entire life. She had only ever been treated as royalty—admired, respected, and constantly flattered, no matter who stood before her. Yet here she was, humiliated and stripped of the dignity she had always taken for granted. She felt as though she were dreaming, unable to believe her ears. 'Did… did a mere ex-convict just speak to me like that?' She thought in absolute disbelief and the next moment... "How dare you
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 156
*****For a long, tense moment after Xavier was gone, his words continued to reverberate nonstop in the air of the hall, making no one able to return to their senses, clearly dumbstruck by them.They stood frozen, like hollow shells, whose spirits and souls had already departed their bodies, leaving only empty bodies gazing blankly into the void for what seemed an eternity before finally...“Did… did he… did that nobody just say all those things to me?” Cassandra, the most shocked of all, gasped, her wide eyes locked onto the spot where Xavier had already vanished. Then trembling uncontrollably as though in the grip of a seizure, she forcefully tore her gaze away from the now-empty doorway and looked back at her family’s faces with a mixture of fury and disbelief.Thanks to her sudden voice, the other Blackwood were also jolted awake from their stupor state, however, feeling Cassandra’s horrified and hopeful gaze on them, brimming with rage and unwillingness to accept the reality,

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
