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,

*****“N-Niece… Daughter!” Darius and his brothers finally couldn’t help themselves but stammer, feeling an overwhelming ache in their hearts as they realized how deeply Cassandra had been wounded, to the extent that she would actually sob despite her pride.Their hearts clenched painfully, as though gripped by an invisible hand, and without a moment’s hesitation, the three took a step forward, ready to rush after Cassandra and console her when in the following second;“Let her go,” the commanding voice of the old man, who looked the most distrusted and visibly affected by his precious granddaughter’s broken state, echoed through the hall, greatly startling the three brothers.“This…” they stopped in their tracks and in the next moment, Roland and Darius whipped around, glaring at the old man with anger flashing in their eyes.“Why? Don’t you think you had been too harsh on her enough?” Roland demanded, his voice low and furious.“She sees you as her safe haven,” Darius also add
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 158
*****Still, inside the vast, quiet dining hall, the three brothers remained frozen in place, staring blankly in the direction their father had just vanished.They stood in stunned silence for a long time, until finally—“He… he just left… like that?” Aldric stammered, suddenly exchanging bewildered glances with his brothers as if the scene they had just witnessed was one that could never be real.Once again, the hall returned to silence after Aldric’s question, until finally;“Usually, he would tear into us and make us kneel outside all night, even for the smallest mistake,” Roland muttered, still half-expecting the old man to storm back in, refusing to believe he was gone just like that, but when not even his shadow could be felt, Roland scratched his head in bewilderment.“This… what we just did was a major screw-up. Is he really going to leave us unpunished?” he inquired, his voice dazed and filled with confusion.Like his brothers, he had braced himself for a punishment se

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
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
