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

*****“This… this scoundrel!” The landlord, who had originally been relishing the idea of the servants fighting amongst themselves before returning to their obedient servitude, suddenly froze.His hands trembled and then very slowly, his smug expression began to melt into one of pure, unrestrained fury.“Don’t listen to that old fool!” he bellowed, his voice sharp and cutting, and as soon as it sounded, all gazes turned to him.“I’m offering you miserab… you guys a week’s worth of rice! Do you think such an opportunity will ever come your way again? Not in your wretched… in your lives if you were to miss it now!”“This…” The crowd hesitated, their hearts wavering once more.The embers of defiance that had begun to glow moments ago began to flicker after hearing the obese landlord’s words, threatening to die out.Seeing this, as the crowd’s resolve began to crumble at a speed faster than eyes, despair washed over Elliot and his father.“Please guys, don’t…” Elliot’s father star
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 175
*****The neighbors, most of whom hadn’t eaten in days—some in days, and others in weeks, descended into a chaotic frenzy.They continued shoving, clawing, and striking at each other with raw desperation and this frenzy raged on for what felt like an eternity, a tangle of limbs and cries, as if survival depended on it.Eventually, it ended. But by then the ground was completely strewn with bodies, weak and bloodied.The once-unified neighbors, who had stood together crying for justice a moment ago, were now reduced to two skeletal figures of Elliot and his father, both standing, looking pale as ghosts, while the rest lay sprawled around them, all writhing and groaning in pure agony.It was clear that the poor crowds had used every single thing they had in this fight, all for the hope of securing a month's worth of rice and half a cow, and absolutely no one had yielded for the other. And the result was a complete defeat for them all.That’s right.Everyone, no matter what appear
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 176
*****Time seemed to stretch endlessly in the suffocating darkness of the late night, yet no one moved or spoke, instead, the weight of realization continued to bore down on the crowd like a suffocating shroud.The dullest among them had already understood the cruel game that had just unfolded—they had been nothing more than pawns in the landlord's twisted scheme.They all continued staring unfocused at the smug, oversized figure as he basked in his own malice. His grin, brimming with pride and scorn, burned into their minds.Seconds felt like hours until, at last;“Why... why?”An abrupt, pitiful cry echoed through the night, completely shattering the stillness, and in the following second, every pair of bloodshot eyes focused on the landlord, their expressions a mixture of despair, simmering fury, and hatred.Meanwhile, hearing the question, the landlord’s lips raised at one end.“Tch. Took you fools long enough to ask,” he sneered, his voice dripping with disdain, and then

***** The voice inquired coldly, greatly startling everyone and halting the police officers in their tracks. In the next second, all heads traced the voice, only to find Selene still crouched beside her husband, her body trembling with unrestrained fury. Right now, her crimson eyes which were completely focused on the landlord burned with hatred, her teeth grinding as though she couldn’t wait to crush him into dust with her sheer will alone. ‘This…’ the landlord’s heart skipped a beat at this sight and his eyes narrowed, but he was already used to a gaze like this, which only turns him on when it comes from the woman he’s interested in. A sly smirk quickly replaced his surprise and then; Yes?” he drawled, his tone laced with amusement and mischievousness. Hearing the response, Selene forced a deep breath, then sent a gaze filled with millions of unspoken words and emotions at her still-unconscious husband, she looked back at the landlord, and then clenched her teet
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 178
*****Although Darius’s men couldn’t determine God’s Time’s precise location—a fact that had deeply frustrated Xavier, knowing he could have done better if time hadn’t been against him—the person had identified the general area, and thinking that the rest would be easy from there, Xavier had informed Darius to drive him there.Unfortunately, however, neither of them could have anticipated what awaited them after nearly an hour's drive from the Blackwood estate.While Xavier had known that the old man might not be able to afford an apartment in a high-end neighborhood, he had never in his wildest dream anticipated where they had ended, a scene that had made his chest tighten, for it was nothing but a desolation.At first glance, they thought they’d arrived at a forsaken wasteland, an assumption that had sent Darius into a seething fury, making him immediately contact the tracking team, angrily scolding them for their incompetence and demanding a thorough re-check of the coordinates
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 179
*****“This…”For a brief, agonizing moment, the scene outside plunged into an eerie stillness, the only sound in the place, being Selene’s heart-wrenching sobs, which continued piercing through the suffocating night, her cries pulling every eye toward her trembling figure.This silence seemed to drag on, heavy and uncomfortable for what felt like an eternity before eventually, the crowd began to shift their gazes—first to Xavier, then back to Selene, uncertainty and unease etched on their faces, until finally…“Sigh.”The neighbors, still sprawled in their blood and on their battered bodies, exchanged glances filled with bitter regret and helplessness, each person knowing deep down that no authority, not even a senior officer, would be able to challenge the iron grip the landlord held over this wretched place.As for Selene, not knowing what everyone where thinking, continued weeping desperately and louder, pleading for Xavier to help her.She had been convinced that Xavier wa

*****For a long, tense moment after Xavier was done speaking, no one was able to react. They continued gawking at him in a stunned silence, his calm yet weighty words reverberating like a divine decree through the air.Although his words seemed casual, they carried the weight of something spoken by a divine being, full of promise, power, and an unbreakable oath.It was as if the place, despite being filled with nearly a hundred people, was in complete silence—so still that the sound of an ant moving could be heard by everyone. This silence seemed to last forever, but eventually...“What a grand claim,” a mocking voice suddenly cut through, dripping with derision, deeply startling everyone, and upon looking, it belonged to the landlord, who was currently gazing at Xavier as though he were a clown right now.Without changing his expression, Xavier met the old man's gaze, and in the next moment, the old man continued."Just by looking at your cheap clothes, something I wouldn’t ev

Chapter 463 – A True King
*****"The volume of items you purchased is so enormous that… that it will take more than a full day just to pack them. Moreover, we’ll need a long truck to transport everything."Dead silence fell over the room once again, and every heart skipped a beat.'The volume of the purchased items wouldn't even fit in regular transport.'‘If that wasn't the ultimate flex, then what was?’Around him, the women, who moments ago had sneered and laughed, were now gazing at Xavier with hearts in their eyes, their stares practically devouring him.‘So handsome! So powerful!’Daisy, the young lady who had been mocked in the Dior store earlier for not knowing about High Fashion, could barely restrain herself.Her heart hammered wildly against her ribs as she fantasized about throwing herself into Xavier’s arms.Their boyfriends, their male companions, noticed this shift, and their faces turned an ugly shade of green.But none of them dared to voice their anger.Not a single one, because th
Chapter 462 – The Best Form of Revenge
*****Meanwhile, Miss Lin, the elegant Dior’s supervisor.Right now, her face was pale, her usually sharp eyes dulled with regret.She had instantly believed Roxie's story and had suggested Amelia’s firing without a second thought—all because she, too, had assumed Xavier was a pauper unworthy of patience.‘Would things have been different if I hadn't judged him so quickly?’ The thought gnawed at her, biting into her pride, her stomach churning.Yet no tears came. Only a deep, hollow sense of dread.Meanwhile, standing just a few steps away, Aria Wynn—the unflappable supervisor of High Fashion—was no better.For the first time in her professional life, her mind was in chaos.Aria, who had built her reputation on her calm, her poise, and her unshakable demeanor, was now battling the overwhelming urge to simply collapse into a chair.She tried everything to steady herself—deep breaths, mental chants, tightening her fists—but nothing worked.Finally, she gave up.Instead, she s
Chapter 461 – All Pleading For Forgiveness
*****Never in her life had Roxie imagined she would one day kneel down in public, kowtowing, groveling, and begging at someone’s feet—much less offering herself as a servant.Yet here she was.And the worst part?She hadn’t even realized it.If anything, right now, Roxie was trapped in a storm of devastation, pain, and unbearable regret, unable to comprehend how things had spiraled so horrifically out of control.Just some minutes ago, Xavier and his parents had walked into her store of their own volition… calm, polite, and willing to spend their money there.But she and everyone there, blinded by prejudice and contempt for anyone who looked poor, had chased the family of four away as though they were nothing but filth tarnishing the presence of the wealthy ones.And now?Not only had she lost the opportunity to earn a million and a half dollars in commission alone, but she had also thrown away the chance for a promotion she had always longed for—dreamed of.No, worse.She
Chapter 460 – I’ll Act As Your Servant
*****The receipt machine had long since fallen silent, and now the entire room followed suit.‘That’s true,’ everyone thought in unison.If Dior hadn’t turned Xavier and his family away if they had simply treated them with basic respect, that fifty million dollars would have been their sale.The realization hit like a truck and in the next instant, pity welled up among the spectators—not for Xavier, not for Amelia, but for Dior’s boutique because it was their loss.How could they be so blind?But the person almost feeling the most pain?Undoubtedly, it was Miss Lin, the supervisor of Dior’s boutique.Up until now, she had been frozen, stuck somewhere between shame and horror.But now, now that the full implications had sunk in—her face turned ghostly pale.Her mouth opened and closed wordlessly as she stared at Roxie—the very person responsible for this catastrophe."You… you…" she stammered, raising a trembling hand to point at the woman. "What have you… what have you don
Chapter 459 – Shock In The Air II
*****Having been forced to fend for herself since she was old enough to walk, Little Lola knew all too well the value of money.Fifty million dollars, however, was a number too vast for her young mind to grasp.Yet none of that mattered.She didn’t need to understand the math to revel in the moment.She had witnessed how these so-called "adults" had sneered at her uncle, spat venom at her adopted grandparents, and treated them like dirt beneath their feet.Now?Now she was grinning from ear to ear, her little chest puffed up with pride, her cheeks practically glowing as she soaked in the stunned faces around her.Justice tasted sweet, even if she couldn’t calculate the exact price tag.And finally—Miss Aria Wynn, High Fashion’s supervisor.To be fair, although Miss Aria Wynn had remained composed throughout the drama, her elegant posture unwavering, that didn’t mean she was immune to doubt.Even she—sharp, astute, and battle-hardened in the world of luxury fashion had ne
Chapter 458 – Shock In The Air
*****‘Payment successful?’The simple, mechanical phrase echoed like a thunderclap in everyone’s mind, reverberating again and again.Absolute disbelief filled the store.No one! Not a single soul in the room—not even Xavier’s parents had thought the payment would ever succeed.That amount of money… it wasn’t something ordinary people even dreamed of seeing in a bank account. And even if, by some miracle, they had it, who in their right mind would drop it all on clothing?It was the kind of wealth that could elevate a struggling family into the ranks of the upper class overnight.Yet, here it was—casually spent on nothing tangible, but… clothing.The silence that gripped the boutique was deafening.No one blinked.No one breathed.No one even dared to think.The only sound was that of the receipt printer, whirring tirelessly as it spat out a long, seemingly endless ribbon of proof.Proof that none of them could deny.The receipt unspooled like a slow-motion declaration
Chapter 457 – Payment Successful
*****“Mister,” Miss Aria Wynn’s gentle yet commanding voice interrupted. “Are you still interested in completing the transaction?”The question, so casually spoken, instantly landed like a thunderclap in every ear.Everyone, no matter who fell silent again, and then they turned to the poised supervisor, wondering what her intentions were.Ultimately, someone whispered, “She’s… probably just trying to confirm the manager’s theory.”“Huh”The murmur spread, reaching every ear, and enlightenment sparked.The employees of Dior, especially those who had long coveted Amelia’s enviable position, brightened with anticipation.Roxie in particular lit up like a Christmas tree.She had long been watching Amelia from the sidelines, green with envy.While her own role was capped at the level of boutique manager, Amelia, who barely even worked, lived in luxury.Her paycheck? It was five times her own, and yet she never even lifted a finger, never pitched in, and never hustled.It was a
Chapter 456 – Roxie Speculation II
*****All attention veered to Roxie, whose words had taken on an almost theatrical flair.Miss Aria raised a brow, unimpressed but curious. “Please, elaborate.”Roxie’s face lit up like she had just been invited to audition for a lead role.Then, with pride swelling in her chest, she jabbed a finger toward Amelia.“If my thought is correct… which most definitely is, she must’ve noticed how our boutique kicked out this bunch of beggars. So, she’s trying to fabricate an extravagant sale to protect her job.”“Hmmm…” all brows rose, and Roxie continued.“She hasn’t made a single sale since she joined your company. Think about it. If she stages this fake purchase, even if the transaction fails, it’ll look like she’s indispensable, since the price of this purchase is something none had ever achieved before.”Roxie smirked, her voice brimming with smugness.“When the higher-ups at High Fashion see a failed transaction notification for fifty million dollars, they’ll most likely assum
Chapter 455 – Roxie Speculation
*****An overwhelming silence enveloped the boutique at this moment, thick enough to strangle breath.No one could utter a word after hearing Xavier’s old declaration.Not the customers from Dior who had eagerly waited to see the destitute Xavier and his parents humiliated.Not the staff of the Dior boutique who had ridiculed the family nonstop with brazen disdain.Not even Miss Lin, Dior’s supervisor, whose proud demeanor was suddenly frozen in time.Not the intrigued bystanders, whose whispers had faded into oblivion.Not even Miss Aria Wynn, the poised overseer of High Fashion, known for her unshakable composure, found her voice.And certainly not Amelia—who, despite never looking down on Xavier, had never once believed he could possibly command such astronomical wealth.Yet among them all, the ones most deeply rattled were none other than…Xavier’s parents.Barely a week ago, they had been scraping coins together, often skipping meals to survive the day.Yet now, their s
