Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 166
*****"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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 167
*****“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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 168
*****For a moment, Selene froze, her body paralyzed and her gaze fixed on her husband’s lifeless face, whose chest was no longer rising or falling.Her mind refused to comprehend the stillness until finally, a sharp, searing pain—unlike anything she had felt before in her life, even after getting brutally assaulted by the landlord that night—struck her, piercing through her very soul like a blade.“Help!” she abruptly screamed, her voice cutting through the night like a thunderclap. “Please, someone! Help… help me take him to the hospital! Don’t let my husband die!”“This…” Her desperate cries directly jolted the neighbors into action, and they rushed forward, determined to help. But before anyone could reach her—“You seem to be forgetting something,” the landlord’s cold, mocking voice suddenly cut through the air, dripping with malice, and in the following second, the neighbors’ hearts paused and they froze in their tracks, their courage dissolving as if on cue.‘Here it come
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 169
*****Selene’s breaths came hard and fast as she asked the question in her mind, her chest heaving with the weight of her anger, but the landlord, however, wasn’t moved by her outburst per se.Instead, he tilted his head with an air of smug amusement, staring at her for a moment before finally;“Bingo,” he drawled, clapping his hands slowly as though congratulating her on solving a riddle, and with this, his confirmation struck Selene like a bolt of lightning.She had only voiced her suspicions out of sheer desperation in the first place, never truly expecting the landlord to admit to such calculated evil.She stared at the obese, old man with a smug smile on his face in utter stupor for a moment until eventually, a sudden thought crossed her mind and in the following second;“You…” Her voice cracked. “You made him hit you on purpose, right?”“You… you intentionally made my husband hit you in the head?” She inquired, her breathing becoming laborious, but then the landlord shook
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 170
*****For a tense, drawn-out moment that felt like forever, after the sudden, cold voice rang out, no one under the oppressive shadow of the old, worn-down, and poor neighborhood could move. It was as if time itself had stopped, leaving them all trapped in a shocked paralysis.Even Selene, whose spirit had already been completely crushed, and the landlord, who had been relishing his vile fantasies of domination, were no exception, all of them gaping in the same direction.They stood frozen, wide-eyed, and slack-jawed as if they had just witnessed the impossible—an alien landing in their midst.It was Elliot who had spoken.“S—son, is… that truly you? Did you just speak” stammered the elderly man, his voice trembling with disbelief, staring at his son as if witnessing a miracle—a coward transformed.Although the old man’s love for his son was undeniable, it was marred by a single, bitter disappointment: his son’s utter lack of courage.Time and again, the middle-aged man, Elliot had ch
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 171
*****“This…” The air seemed to become still for a moment after Elliot was done speaking, and for a moment, no one was able to react, staring dazedly at him. Immediately following this, however, all hearts collectively skipped a beat and an audible gasp escaped from everyone present.The landlord, most of all, looked utterly stunned, as though he had just witnessed the most difficult-to-believe thing in the world.His jaw slackened, disbelief radiating from his wide eyes as he pointed a trembling finger.Although he couldn’t see the speaker’s face clearly due to the darkness of the night, it didn’t matter.No one—absolutely no one—had ever dared to defy him before. Not in this neighborhood, where he had long sown the seeds of fear in everyone, so deeply that they had grown into an impenetrable forest. Yet here was someone standing against him, shattering that long-standing terror.Although he had been the one to challenge the speaker to step forward, he had done so only to mock
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 172
*****No one had ever challenged the landlord before in the street and he had always been treated like a god, but now, not just one person, but two!The crowd turned toward the elderly woman, and seeing her bloodshot, hateful eyes, they followed them until it landed squarely on the landlord, and following this, a thick, suffocating silence settled over the air which continued until finally, like a dam breaking under pressure—“I hate you! I hate you, you bastard!” An unexpected yell of hatred abruptly echoed and everyone turned to look at the speaker, but before they could pinpoint him;“You scumbag ruined my life, turning me into a cripple with one-and-a-half legs after stealing my life! How heartless!” Another yell echoed, making everyone turn their heads again, but once again;“Are you never afraid of retribution?”One by one, the crowd began to remember the things done to them by this old man, and with this, a man abruptly clenched his fists, a poverty-stricken young woman o
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 173
*****In Riverton City, rice was often seen as the humblest of foods, a staple so basic that nearly everyone could afford it—or so the outsiders believed.It came in many grades, catering with the consideration of every pocket: from the kind that cost hundreds of dollars per gram to the kind that did not even reach a dollar per kilogram.It is the most sought-after sustenance, and one of the most affordable that even many farmers choose to feed to their livestock as one of the cheapest, most efficient options.To the residents of this neighborhood, however, it was an entirely different story.Rice was not a staple that many disliked. It was a treasure, a distant dream. A luxury most of them had not tasted in years.That’s right.To these people, rice was a mythical luxury and many children often spoke of it in hushed tones, incorporating its taste into their dreams as if it were pure magic. Some even swore they’d trade their very lives for just a single day to savor it.To be

Chapter 409 – Your Branch Is Officially Shut Down
*****Ring!A sudden, loud, shrill sound pierced the air in the office, jolting Gregory so violently that his soul nearly leaped out of his chest.His heart pounded frantically in his chest, and his eyes subconsciously darted toward his desk in the following second.It was his cell phone that was ringing."Who is so jobless enough to be calling me early this morning?" he muttered.He hesitated before glancing at the screen, but seeing as it was his private number, he immediately dismissed the call.If it wasn’t work-related, then it wasn’t a priority. Right now, his only concern was saving his damn branch.Yet…The phone rang again.And again.Each time louder, more persistent.Gregory’s eyebrows finally knitted together in frustration, but he still chose to ignore the nonstop ringing. He figured the caller would eventually give up once they realized he wasn’t going to pick up.But… he was completely far from right.The phone kept ringing.And ringing.Until suddenly…
Chapter 408 – Pinnacle Bank, Riverton City’s Manager
*****"That’s right, sir. I assure you that our interest rate is practically nonexistent—just a mere 5% on the borrowed sum."Inside a well-furnished office, a distinguished middle-aged man spoke into the phone, his tone unwaveringly confident.But in the following second, upon hearing the words from the phone, a stunned expression appeared on his face as his lips carefully parted."Ano… another bank offered you as low as 4.5%?" His eyebrows shot up, and a flicker of helplessness crossed his face, but he quickly masked it with a composed and persuasive voice."Why don’t you visit us first? I’m certain we can negotiate something favorable. In fact, I might even offer you an interest rate lower than what they promised," he suggested smoothly.For the next few moments, the man continued his efforts, speaking in an increasingly compelling tone, determined to sway the person on the other end of the line.However, despite his best attempts, it was clear he had failed.The second he
Chapter 407 – I Hope You All Won’t Come To Regret This
*****“Perhaps you commoners have forgotten your place.” Julius’ voice dripped with scorn, his eyes flashing with unrestrained malice. “Perhaps we, the members of the ranked families, have become too lenient… too merciful. Maybe that’s why you insects have started to think you can defy the ranked families without consequence.”He unhurriedly straightened his posture, rolling his shoulders, and with a single movement, clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked like snapping bones.Then, a twisted smirk curled across his lips.“I haven’t had a proper warm-up in a while… Let me use you… as my punching bag.”He spat, his eyes flashing fiercely. However, just as he was about to launch a fist toward Xavier—“Young Master, please!”The anxious voice of the cashier, Brenda Hawthorne, pierced through the tension, causing Julius to halt.Upon looking at her, her previously composed demeanor had been replaced with urgency, her expression contorted into a mask of disdain and
Chapter 406 – Julius Cromwell’s Anger
*****Everyone stood frozen at this moment, their bodies stiffening as Xavier’s words reverberated through the vast, marble-floored space, sinking deep into their consciousness.For a few long, suffocating seconds, silence reigned in the bank. The occupants’ minds were still struggling to process the sheer weight of what he had just said.But before they could fully grasp it, before they could even draw a breath to react, Xavier’s voice sliced through the air once more.“You claimed that I want to challenge you. But tell me…” His gaze swept over the haughty, so-called young master with an unshakable coldness, his tone laced with contempt. “Who do you truly think you are that I’d waste even a sliver of my time on you?”His words detonated like an explosive, shattering the already brittle atmosphere. The onlookers felt as if an invisible force had struck them, rendering them momentarily disoriented.And yet, amidst the growing tension, Xavier remained eerily calm—his expression de
Chapter 405 – How Much Do You Think I Can Withdraw Using That Information From This Bank?
*****“You… you really are determined to cause trouble, aren’t you?” she snarled, her voice sharp enough to cut steel.Hearing her words, Xavier merely arched a brow at this, a trace of amusement flickering across his lips before he suppressed it.‘Me? Cause trouble?’The thought flitted across his mind, but he chose not to voice it. He simply let her words hang in the air, allowing them to fester in the thick, tension-choked silence.Brenda’s fury only escalated at this. Her entire body trembled, her jaw clenching so tightly it seemed moments away from snapping.How dare he?How dare this nobody demand that she, Brenda Hawthorne, walk over and personally pick up his card?How dare he threaten he would shut down this branch unless I was fired?Who does he think he is?The sheer audacity of it made her blood boil.But suppressing her rage, she turned sharply to Julius, her voice suddenly dripping with sickly sweet reverence.“Young Master Cromwell,” she addressed him smooth
Chapter 404 – You Are Really Determined To Cause Trouble, Aren’t You?
*****Every single person in the bank was struck speechless at this moment.Young master Julius Cromwell was frozen in place, his smirk wiped clean off his face.Brenda Hawthorne, the haughty cashier, gawked, her lips slightly parted as though words had failed her.Her colleagues, the waiting customers, and even the armed security guards—every last one of them—stood motionless, their gazes locked onto Xavier as if he were some mythical beast that had just emerged in their midst.With this, a suffocating tension wrapped around the entire bank like an iron chain. The air itself seemed to constrict, thick with disbelief.Moments ago, the place was filled with noise and chatter, but now? The silence was so absolute, so deafening, that it became more oppressive than the previous clamor.Seconds stretched unbearably long, each one dragging out the tension further.And then suddenly—“Interesting.”The word, uttered in an infuriatingly playful tone, shattered the silence like glass
Chapter 403 – Xavier’s Threat
*****"Although this is my first time meeting you," Julius, in flamboyant attire, spoke with an air of calculated leisure, his piercing gaze sweeping over Xavier from head to toe.The sheer repulsion in his eyes was unmistakable, as though he were looking at something filthy, something unworthy of existence."...And given your…” he drawled, clicking his lips, the disgust in his eyes evident. “…Extremely humble state, I doubt I'll ever have the misfortune of crossing paths with you again," he continued, his voice rich and pleasant to the ear, yet laced with unmistakable derision. "After all, I rarely find myself in the same space as... your kind."His tone, seemingly polite on the surface, was dripping with undisguised contempt.The implication of his words was crystal clear—Xavier was too poor, too insignificant to even exist in the same world as him.Of course, Xavier caught the meaning of his words instantly, yet his face remained impassive, betraying no reaction. His cold, un
Chapter 402 – Xavier’s Disbelief
*****"Ah!!! This is outrageous, and it badly infuriates me!”“You people are nothing but bullies!""How could such a place like this be this shamelessly biased?! We've been waiting for hours, and just because someone wealthy waltzes in, you chose to abandon us all to serve him without any iota of shame and remorse?!""Where is the fairness in this?!""I despise this bank with every fiber of my being!""I swear, I will make sure to spread the word of this disgraceful conduct to my friends, family, and every single person I have ever known! No one will ever trust this corrupt institution again!"Raging voices that overlapped each other continued reverberating throughout the bank, filling the air with sheer indignation.The furious customers standing in the endless queue behind Xavier glowered daggers at the cashier and the ostentatiously dressed man.Their collective fury was palpable—their faces flushed with rage and their eyes ablaze with hostility.Some had even clenched t
Chapter 401 – Bonus Chapter
*****[ A/N: To celebrate the major milestone of reaching chapter 400, here’s a bonus chapter! I wish I could upload more, but as I mentioned in earlier chapters, my schedule has been packed lately. So please bear with me on this one.Thanks again for your support!]—“Hey, boy! Where do you think you’re going?!”“You better not be thinking of cutting the line!”“The hell does this dude think he’s doing?”The room’s atmosphere tensed as multiple voices rose in indignation.Xavier, along with the others, instinctively turned toward the commotion.A man, likely in his early thirties, sauntered forward as though the world belonged to him. His designer-branded suit, a garish explosion of gold and navy blue, clung perfectly to his broad shoulders, and multiple diamond-studded rings glittered on his fingers.Despite the hostile murmurs from the queue, he strutted forward with an air of superiority, flashing a smug, self-satisfied grin.His sheer audacity made it evident that he w
