Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 160
*****“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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 163
*****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

*****Although God’s Time had driven like a man possessed, fueled by his wife’s despairing call and prayed desperately against all hope that he wouldn’t be too late, he had, unfortunately, arrived, only to find out that… he was a moment too slow.That’s right.He had arrived just in time to witness the horrifying scene of his frail, helpless wife, savagely beaten by the landlord until she collapsed and fainted.The scene could be said to be the scariest he had ever witnessed in his life, a sight beyond nightmare—a blend of terror, heartbreak, and disbelief, unlike anything God’s Time had ever thought he would ever witness.He had literally frozen in place for what felt like an eternity, his body locking into place as if turned to stone, paralyzed as the scene replayed in his mind over and over, searing itself into his memory until… he had snapped and lost it.Yes, he had lost it.Despite being known for his calm nature and aversion to violence, God’s Time had felt a surge of ra

***** "Please… please, sir, let my husband go! He’s going to die!" A frail, battered woman with graying hair abruptly pleaded, her voice laced with desperation as she crawled forward, her knees scraping the rough ground, and nonstop tears streaming down her face. Though traces of her former beauty still lingered beneath the scars of hardship, she was now a shadow of herself, worn down by years of suffering. This was Selene, God’s Time’s wife, a woman once known for her resilience and grace. At this moment, however, she appeared utterly devastated, shattered, and teetering on the brink of collapse. She seemed broken, helpless, and terrified, with her hands trembling hysterically as she knocked her forehead repeatedly on the cold, hard, and unforgiving ground, pounding it until blood seeped from her brow, mixing with the dirt as she pleaded over and over. But the elderly man standing before her—a bloated, graying landlord with a fresh bandage wrapped around his head—remained as c

*****"Sir, you... you want us to hold our hand?" one of the thug-like officers finally asked, his tone cautious as he stared at the obese old man in disbelief after a long, thick, and tense silence had filled up the place, all of them, trying to process his order.“Hmmm.” The old landlord tilted his head slightly, a knowing smirk, the kind that hinted at schemes well laid and victories assured playing on his face.‘This…’ The cops froze, dumbstruck. Unease washed over them in the next second and they exchanged nervous glances, each thinking: ‘What about the promotion he promised us?’As soon as this thought went through their minds, one of the officers hurriedly looked back at the obese landlord, emboldened by desperation."Sir... we've almost finished dealing with him. Won't stopping now cause... cause future consequences?” He inquired after a moment of hesitation and as soon as Selene, who was still on her knees heard him, she froze with fear.She clutched the hem of her gown

*****“This…” Selene’s heart trembled frantically, seeing the eyes that blood had filled, and then;“Husband,” she whispered again, her voice breaking under the weight of her sorrow. She stared at God’s Time with tearful, wide eyes, trembling as if frozen for years, seeing him like this for the first time—a mangled figure far removed from the vibrant man she adored.She tried her best to hold it in and be strong for him, but unfortunately; the tears she had been fighting to hold back finally spilled over, streaming down her cheeks in uncontrollable waves.“Boohoo!” A deep, choking sob escaped her as she collapsed into the pool of blood beside God’s Time.Then with her body shivering hysterically, she wrapped her arms around his broken body, her trembling fingers brushing the blood-soaked strands of his hair and his bruised, battered skin.Without hesitation, she cradled his bloodied figure, gently helping him sit upright despite his fragile state.“Why?” Her voice rose with des

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
Chapter 434 – No Redemption Left
*****It had been more than three minutes since Xavier and the manager exited the bank, yet silence still gripped the bank like a vice.No one spoke.No one moved.The echoes of what had just transpired continued repeating endlessly in every mind, like a haunting dream on a loop.The employees stood frozen in place, pale-faced and drenched in cold sweat, while customers remained rooted, too stunned to process anything.And then, there was Brenda—her expression hollow, as the soul had already abandoned her body. Her eyes were vacant, her breathing shallow.She stood there, unmoving, like a statue carved from guilt and shame.Finally… the guards.All of them were still on their knees, unmoving.They had known that Xavier’s wrath was coming and had tried to prepare.They had knelt before him long before he reached them, as they had originally reached them.They'd begged, wailed, and thrown every ounce of self-respect out the window.They blamed the devil.Literally.“It wa
Chapter 433 – One Card, Half A Trillion
*****All blood was pumping fiercely at this moment.Even the customers in the crowd could feel it, as if they too were tangled in the madness unraveling before them.‘He was treated like trash… and in retaliation, he decided to withdraw his savings, knowing that’s enough punishment for the bad treatment he was given?’'No… not just punishment. Something enough to bankrupt an entire national banking system!’People blinked, looking stunned. Their indignation, their pride, their frustration—they’d all come to the bank for similar reasons.Many had planned to withdraw everything from their accounts as a form of protest. They, too, had grievances after all.They were constantly mistreated by the bankers and constantly ignored and overlooked as well, even always getting abused.But now?Now, their actions felt nothing more than children’s tantrums compared to what they’d just witnessed.Even the customer with the largest savings among the ordinary customers began to shrink inwar
Chapter 432 – What Is A Flex If Not This
*****From a young age, Julius had been taught a foundational truth of high finance:Every account has a ceiling—no matter who you are and how limitless your account and card are.Whether you were a high-ranking official or belonged to a first-tier powerhouse, the rule remained unbreakable.Even the legendary families at the apex of global wealth—those whose shadows loomed over economies. It was said they were bound by this limitation.Yes, you could control assets worth billions… trillions, even.Yes, your investments could span industries, continents, and entire empires.But when it came to liquid funds—hard cash—there was always a cap. A regulatory boundary.Julius had questioned this growing up.He had wondered why someone couldn’t just liquidate everything they had. Why couldn’t they simply convert all their assets into cold, spendable cash?The answer had always been delivered in helpless and respectful tones by economic tutors and advisors alike:Inflation. Stability
Chapter 431 – The Account Balance That Causes Commotion
*****They say maintaining absolute silence in a room with fewer than fifty people is easy. Manageable, even.Once the number crosses a hundred, though? That’s where it becomes nearly impossible.Human beings would breathe. They would shift. They would cough, murmur, sneeze, and move without realizing it. Now, multiply that by a hundred, and absolute silence becomes little more than a fantasy.But that law didn’t seem to apply here. Not today. Not in this bank.More than three hundred people were packed shoulder to shoulder within the confines of the main banking hall—customers, employees, security personnel, and even a few passersby who had walked in just moments earlier.And yet…Not a sound.Not a whisper.Not a rustle.Not even the rustle of fabric or the sigh of shifting weight.This wasn’t just silence. This was a… void.It was the kind of unnatural, oppressive stillness that made the very air feel thick and heavy—as though it might shatter if anyone dared to move.
Chapter 430 – The Titanium Account Balance
*****Right now, Julius simply stood there, looking utterly frozen.He stared blankly at Xavier, his anger completely evaporated.His arrogance had withered, and now, only confusion and disbelief remained.‘Is… is he sane?’ he wondered.Who rejects VIP treatment?His brain simply couldn’t process what was happening.….Meanwhile, Gregory stared hard at Xavier, a storm of emotions passing through his gaze.What he had just heard had completely humbled him.There was no arrogance in Xavier’s tone. No flaunting of power. No smug satisfaction. And no ridicule.It was only a quiet principleA principle Gregory had long buried beneath rules and obligations.To be honest, he, too, hated the practice.That’s rightHe hated prioritizing people based on wealth or background, likewise believing that no human being should be treated better than the other, especially when the said human beings were even in their rights.But a rule was a rule no matter what—and unless he was tired o
Chapter 429 – The Customers' Rising Admiration for Xavier
*****After Julius and Brenda, the guards were the most shocked after hearing Gregory make the announcement.Their knees turned to liquid, their eyes went wide, and their blood turned to ice.They had laughed at Xavier not long ago, insulting and calling him a lowlife entity for daring to challenge Julius and not give him a face.They had claimed he should have groveled before Julius—that he didn’t deserve to breathe the same air as him.And now?They had insulted a man who now made even Julius—their golden boy—look like a child playing dress-up.One of the guards whimpered softly, and another staggered before slumping against the wall, his hands shaking violently.“Wait… who was supposed to give face to who in the first place?” one of them muttered. “Weren’t we and even that Julius the ones who should’ve knelt to him from the start?”Regret tore through them like a thunderclap, the weight of their mistake suffocating them.They felt weak, almost sobbing.Their pride, their
Chapter 428 – An Unexpected Announcement
*****“Sir, please come with me to my office. I’ll personally handle everything for you.”That was the first thing the stunned customers heard upon rushing into the bank, causing their jaws to nearly drop to the floor.They froze, baffled.This wasn’t just any bank manager speaking—this was Gregory, the notoriously prideful manager of Pinnacle Bank, humbling himself without hesitation.But then they remembered that he had knelt before Xavier not long ago, even slapping the descendant of a third-rank family for him.Those two acts instantly silenced any thoughts of ridicule.Now, they looked at Xavier with awe—awe and something bordering on reverence.Envy flickered in their eyes, their minds bursting with questions they dared not speak aloud.'Who exactly was this man?'Xavier, however, remained utterly indifferent.From beginning to end, not once did his expression falter.He stood tall, poised, his bearing calm and composed—as if everything happening had already played o
