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

*****Without pausing or hesitating, the officer prepared to strike Xavier, thickening the air with dread and causing everyone's hearts to tremble, especially Selene’s.She could already foresee the inevitable—that the same brutal beating that had been inflicted upon her husband was about to claim another victim, her husband's friend.Desperation surged through her in an instant and she subconsciously raised a trembling hand, ready to plead for Xavier’s life.Tears blurred her vision as she opened her mouth to cry out, but just then, however;“Stand down.”A sudden voice echoed, slicing through the tension like a whip.Although it was casual, almost playful, it seemed to carry an undercurrent of authority that directly silenced the chaos, also making the officer, who was on the verge of reaching Xavier stop in his tracks.He had been planning to make a good impression of himself from the landlord, thereby getting one step ahead of his colleague, but now…A sudden chill seemed
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 182
*****Still in the depths of the slum.At this moment, every eye was fixated on Xavier, their stares wide and unblinking as if he were some sort of otherworldly being.The weight of his earlier icy and defiant words to the landlord continued hanging thick in the air, leaving even the landlord himself frozen in place.‘What... what just happened?’ he finally wondered in his mind after what felt like an eternity had passed, still struggling to comprehend what had just transpired.The fear that had enveloped him just now was so sudden. It was as if he had been faced by a demon who was ready to reap his life, making him break out in a cold sweat, leaving his back soaked.Although the sensation had vanished as quickly as it had come, the lingering terror it left behind was far too overwhelming to be easily forgotten, and with this, the moment seemed to stretch on endlessly until, at last, an embarrassment he couldn’t control began to creep in.‘Was… was I really just intimidated by
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 183
*****Xavier and Darius frowned at this scene. But before they could react, however, the landlord waved dismissively, his tone dripping with derision.“I’ve already wasted more than enough time on you pests tonight, and If I weren’t already so tired, I would have loved to learn to source of your arrogance that made a worm like yourself think you can be rude to me. But lucky for you, I value my sleep more than your existence.” he uttered, and then glared venomously at Xavier for a moment, really regretting that he couldn’t teach him a lesson he would never forget.The old man snorted at this and then yawned again and eventually, his gaze shifted to Selene, who was still kneeling on the ground.“And you!” he barked, his voice sharp and cold, making Selene flinch, her face pale as she subconsciously looked up.“You bitch dared to sell me out and still had the audacity to call that useless piece of garbage your husband even though you have already agreed to be my concubine?” he fumed

Chapter 279 – Honey Finally Awakens
*****The representatives stared at Grace in despair, their faces etched with terror after hearing her words.They could tell she wasn’t bluffing, and this… it made several of them struggle to breathe, as though their very lives were slipping away right away before their eyes.How were they supposed to report this back to their companies?What report were they supposed to give when they had been strictly instructed before leaving their respective organizations to only apply pressure on Grace and the Sky Group?They had been repeatedly cautioned not to make the termination of the partnership possible. Instead, they were only told to continue pressing Grace until she eventually caved to Lucius’s demands, and this way, they’d achieve two goals at once: completing Lucius’s goal while still maintaining their partnership with Sky Group. But now…They had recklessly taken matters into their own hands, doing exactly what they had been repeatedly warned against.…The representatives’
Chapter 278 – Lucius’s Furious Exit
*****Grace had never anticipated a conclusion like this.Not even once, why? Because Lucious wasn’t someone anybody in the room dared to offend.Without knowing what to think, she continued gawking at the room like a fool, her mouth remaining agape for what felt like an eternity.It was as though a heavenly force had suddenly sown discord, havoc, and animosity amid her adversaries, all of them clashing with one another in front of her instead of targeting her.This continued like for what seemed an endless stretch of time before suddenly;“You all!”Lucius, the most shocked in the room finally snapped back to reality and snarled, pointing an hysterically trembling finger at Mason, his father, and the group of delegates.In the next moment, the group of delegates, the former receptionist, Nico, his father, and Dorothy’s hearts trembled, a menacing aura abruptly radiating from Lucius, instilling fear in them.Although Lucius wasn’t that formidable, just even an E-ranked fighte
Chapter 277 – Ganging Up Against Lucius
*****For a heartbeat after seeing where Grace’s finger was pointed, the room was frozen, everyone seemingly caught in a suffocating stillness.It did not even look as if the representatives had heard Grace’s disappointing response to them,Their blank stares remained fixed on Lucius, as if in a trance, processing Grace's final words.Meanwhile, Lucius remained frozen, his thoughts spinning wildly. Grace's unexpected gesture—pointing at him and directing the representatives to meet with him—had left him completely paralyzed with shock.This silence, however, didn’t last for long when suddenly;“You’re the real culprit here!” A venomous voice cut through the oppressive quiet, its force akin to a whip cracking in the air.Everyone instantly turned toward the speaker, startled. And very surprisingly, it belonged to Nico.“This.”A wave of shock swept through the room at the sight before them, while Grace's face froze slightly, her disbelief matching everyone else's.Nico, who h
Chapter 276 – Grace’s Vengeance Heart
*****Grace’s initial reason for accompanying the Harrison representatives in the first place had been simple: a courtesy and a gesture of professionalism.But there was another motive, an unspoken and deeply personal one—a quiet hope to glean even if it’s the smallest hint about the reasoning behind the Harrison Conglomerate’s baffling decision to favor Sky Group out of the hundreds of more qualified companies out there Yet, her efforts yielded nothing.Instead, the representatives stood firm in their original statements, insisting without hesitation that it was because only her company deserved it, offering no further explanation beyond that.However, what Grace couldn’t ignore was their demeanor. The instant they stepped out of the room, the two representatives began to treat her with an almost reverential respect, one that felt entirely out of place given Sky Group’s standing relative to the monolithic Harrison Conglomerate.At first, she thought it might have been a tric
Chapter 275 - The Room’s Regret
*****Initially, everyone had thought they knew how the Harrison representative's visit would end.But this... not even Grace or Dorothy, despite their efforts of optimism had seen it coming.They had all assumed the Sky Group’s doom was sealed. That by the time the representatives departed, Grace would have been in ruin—her empire dismantled, her future destroyed beyond repair. And yet… Everything was contrary.A long moment of deafening, suffocating silence continued enveloping the conference room after Grace and the representatives vanished.The air was thick with disbelief, its oppressive pressure nearly tangible, weighing heavily on everyone.Every eye was wide, breaths were held, and the entire room was frozen in suffocating silence.None of them—least of all Lucius and his accomplices—couldn’t accept everything that had unfolded.Hadn’t they betrayed Sky Group in their desperation to align with the Harrisons?Hadn’t they dissolved every contract, severed every tie, and
Chapter 274 – The Two Representatives Depart
*****“This…”Gasps rippled across the room, every person staring in stunned disbelief.Lucius Blackwood—the embodiment of arrogance and wickedness. The untouchable tyrant, who had always acted as though he was above the entire world—was currently… groveling on the floor.This realization hit everyone hard dumbfounding them to the core.However, before the shock barely had time to settle, the loud sound of gulp echoed within the room, breaking through the tense atmosphere and drawing all eyes.It was Mason, and right now, he stood frozen, trembling as though trapped within an icy prison.The representatives also turned their gazes on him, their cold amusement laced with disdain.“You too,” one of them said, pointing directly at Mason. “Without verifying the truth, you made such a cruel suggestion, even daring to call me a stupid actor.”The words were a hammer blow, shattering whatever composure Mason had left.In the next second;“This… this is the devil’s work, sir!” he b
Chapter 273 – Lucius’s Apprehension
*****‘This…’The room became deathly silent momentarily, Mason’s words echoing in the air before finally, all eyes shifted to the patriarch whose expression was still unreadable.Even the two representatives were taken aback by Mason’s suggestion, unable to believe their ears.‘Apprehend us?’ Their minds repeated, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.Ever since joining Harrison’s Conglomerate, this is the first time in their lives to hear such disregard.They stared in a trance, while Nico.Having no idea about the part his son was headed, he only hesitated for a brief second before ultimately leaning closer to his father, his voice low but firm."Father… now isn’t the time to hesitate," he urged, his eyes bright.Instantly, the old man’s gaze turned icy, locking onto Grace.Initially, although he hadn’t entertained the possibility that the two representatives were impostors. Instead, his mind had been in complete blankness, struggling to process the sheer magnitude of the
Chapter 272 – Lucius’s Accusation and Mason’s Heartless Suggestion
*****Although several minutes had already elapsed since the two representatives revealed the major reason for their visit, the conference room remained frozen in an eerie stillness. Every person remained motionless, their gazes vacant, like soulless puppets.It was obvious that none of them had experienced such a profound shock in their lives before.This lasted for several more minutes that felt like hours before finally;"Nonsense!"A thunderous roar forcefully spat, shattering the silence in the room, and snapping everyone back to reality, their hearts suddenly pounding.All eyes directly turned toward the source of the outburst—Lucius.His teeth were clenched so tightly that they seemed ready to shatter right now, his fiery glare locked on the two representatives."Nonsense!" he repeated, his voice dripping with venom and fury as he glared at them as if they were the very embodiment of his wrath.On the other hand, the two representatives exchanged a brief glance before
Chapter 271 – The Harrison Patriarch’s Fear
*****“Father…”As soon as the prime minister departed, the middle-aged man, who had stood respectfully like a bodyguard from the very beginning—the president of the Harrison Conglomerate and the patriarch’s second son—finally mustered the courage to speak.His tone was tense, and his expression was filled with unease, unhappiness, and question as he glanced helplessly at his father who was still beaming foolishly."Do you have any idea the level of chaos this rash decision we’ve taken today would soon cause?" he asked, his voice filled with exasperation.In the following second, the patriarch froze mid-chuckle, his grin fading."What...?" he stammered, staring at his son as if he had just committed a grave offense. "What did you just say?"“I…”The middle-aged man hesitated, briefly doubting himself under his father’s intense gaze, but he quickly steadied himself and heaved a deep, long-drawn sigh."Father, have you perhaps forgotten that Projects Echelon serves another purp
