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

*****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

*****Contrary to what the three brothers initially believed, their father, the elderly master of the Blackwood family, hadn’t actually left as he’d pretended to. Instead, he had remained concealed just outside the hall, positioned in a blind spot, waiting to see if his sons had come to any realizations of what he had done.“To think I can’t even keep such a small detail from those brats,” he murmured, letting out another deep, exasperated sigh as he recalled how quickly they had guessed the reason why he failed to punish them.Recalling all this, the old man stood in silence for a moment before finally, a small, helpless sigh emitted from his throat as he muttered softly, “How could I even bring myself to punish them when I was even more shameless tonight?”His gaze grew distant as he thought of how close he had come to losing control tonight, nearly executing Xavier after he had realized that he could no longer bring him closer, and had Cassandra not unwittingly intervened, he m

*****“Hmph! So much for a ‘reputable first-rank family’!” Xavier suddenly snorted, muttering with disgust as he strides down the brightly lit Blackwood villa path.Although he had been walking for what felt like ages—over twenty minutes now—he was barely halfway to the estate’s gate. Not that he noticed, since his thoughts had been tangled since leaving the dining hall, seething with rage."To think that miserable old man would even consider attacking me despite the fact that I haven’t even asked for any explanation and instead, giving them such a priceless technique even though his sons had poisoned me!” He snorted, his jaw tight as he kept moving, each step simmering with contempt and unbearable rage.Xavier was exceptionally livid at this moment, reliving the twisted memories of his time within Blackwood walls. From the sneers and unhidden hostility from the sons, who looked at him and acted as if he were a cockroach they couldn’t wait to squash, to the poisoned meal, to Cassa

*****“This would also serve as a great reminder to stay cautious of where I go and what I eat from now on, since as much as my immunity may be a blessing, it could just as easily become a curse if word got out.” Still strolling the quiet street which only contained security guards of the Blackwood, who were patrolling the place, Xavier finally mumbled to himself.His thoughts had already calmed down enough now, and considering the danger that night had nearly brought him, a flicker of unease and fear flashed in his eyes, recalling Grandpa Zev’s stern warning to him before he passed on.With a sigh, he brushed the beads of sweat from his forehead, an involuntary shiver crawling up his spine as he imagined himself becoming prey, torn apart for his immunity.….By now, Xavier had already put some distance between himself and the villa which housed the dining hall, almost at the gate.With his thoughts finally clear, he looked ahead, and seeing that he still had some steps to cover

*****As soon as the truth dawned on Xavier, he found it extremely difficult to believe it.Who… who would beat up someone so old like that… and why?” he muttered, stunned, recalling the gentle driver who’d shared his own story to advise him earlier.Xavier continued standing there, the cell phone still pressed to his ear, listening to the relentless sounds of violence on the other end.Finally, his fists clenched, anger sparking through him, and unable to bear it any longer, he ended the call, his lips pressed tightly together.“No matter his offense, why would anyone brutalize such an elderly man to this extent?” he growled, his anger and irritation mounting.And with this, he paused for a tense moment until eventually, he murmured, “The call may have been accidental, but I did tell him to reach out if he ever needed me. And since he has… I have no choice but to grudgingly help him,” He sighed, trying to justify getting involved with the old man’s business since it was the num

*****In one of Riverton City’s most forsaken slums, where rows of ramshackle homes stood, neglected and decayed. Without electricity, drainage, or even the slightest decent roads, exuding a stench of decay and despair.Although it was currently very late into the night, with most of the other parts of the city asleep, this pitch-black street that hadn’t felt the presence of electricity in the past few years was currently alive with people.In front of a nearly collapsing, patched-up wooden house, a group of weary adults gathered, each clutching a flashlight in their hands, their faces heavily contorted with pity and horror at the grim sight presently unfolding before them."Argh! This... this sight is unbearable!" suddenly muttered a worn down, poverty-stricken middle-aged man, with only one functional arm, the other hanging crippled and useless beside him. His jaw tightened in frustration, voice thick with helpless anger.“Why? Just why does God allow such an injustice and horr
