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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 184
*****Although Xavier’s voice was so calm, emotionless, and quiet, it managed to cut through the place as though it were a hot knife, cutting through a nylon, causing all hearts to skip a beat.All except Darius continued gaping dazedly at him, their mouths wide agape as though wanting to catch swarms of bees, all of them finding it difficult to believe their ears.This silence of shock lasted for what felt like an eternity, before eventually;“Does… does that mean he’s not backing down? Even after the landlord had explicitly said he wouldn’t punish him?” A voice dripping with disbelief echoed, jolting everyone back to their senses and they hurriedly shut their mouths and exchanged dumbstruck gazes.Everyone began to murmur, while the landlord and Selene…Although the silence had already been shattered, the two refused to return to their senses, both still gaping at Xavier in stunned silence.‘He… did he really mean his words?’‘Is he going to challenge the landlord even after
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 185
*****Although several moments had passed since Selene had leveled her accusation against Xavier, no one in the crowd had yet regained their composure.The air continued hanging heavy with disbelief as their gazes fixed on her, all of them too stunned and unable to reconcile her words with what they had just witnessed.All the neighbors, apart from Selene and the cops had been in front of the landlord when the incident occurred, and they had clearly seen that Xavier hadn’t even laid a single finger on the man, yet….Their earlier sympathy for Xavier wasn’t due to any thinking he had actually touched the obese old man. Rather, it stemmed from their shared understanding of the landlord’s shameless nature and the certainty that he would cripple Xavier, accusing him of losing his own face.However, none of them could have anticipated that Selene would turn on Xavier first, accusing him even before the landlord had a chance to return to his senses and order the pummeling.Various tho
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 186
*****Ever since the landlord had risen from humble beginnings to a life of privilege, all thanks to his son's influence, he had never endured a humiliation as deep as the one he faced today. Even falling to his butt in the grimy dirt of the street—a place he despised with every ounce of his being.To grasp the depth of his disgust and aversion for the street's ground, one only needed to consider his peculiar routine of always bringing two pairs of shoes whenever coming.The first pair, worn from home, was always exchanged upon arrival for a second pair reserved solely for treading the accursed street.And before departing, he would always discard and burn the second pair, never wearing them again, as if even a moment's reuse would be akin to walking in filth. Yet, despite all these meticulous precautions, today, he had fallen onto the very ground he deemed unworthy of even his disposable shoes.If Xavier’s earlier attitude, which had first scared him had felt like a slap to his
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 187
*****Like everyone else, Selene wasn’t able to react for a moment after hearing the landlord’s chilling order. The weight of it sank in slowly, but deeply.This was why she had turned on Xavier earlier even though she was well aware he was only fighting on behalf of herself and her husband.As earlier stated, in Riverton City, God’s Time is her number one priority and she loves him above anything else, even herself.…She continued standing in a trance, unable to react for what felt like an eternity, the words reverberating nonstop in her ears until eventually, she found her voice back.“You… you can’t do this,” she stuttered, the desperation and fear in her voice slicing through the silence that had settled over the street, and upon hearing her, a wicked, malicious grin crept over the landlord’s face.“I can’t?” He mused mischievously, his tone dripping with menace, making Selene’s heart shake in her chest.“That’s… that’s not what I mean.” She faltered, her panic rising in
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 188
*****“Get out of the way, ma’am!” the two cops, watching Selene growled, their glares fierce as though wanting to stomp her.They were initially seething with rage at losing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and now, someone even dared to bar their path.They wanted to transfer their aggression at Selene, but they couldn’t, given how the fat old landlord was interested in her, and Selene understood this, which was why she had dared to block their path in the first place.Without bothering to listen to them, she hurriedly turned a desperate, pleading stare at the old landlord.“Didn’t… didn’t you say you were tired? That you wanted to consume our new relationship and sleep? Please, let’s… let’s leave now. He… he will die if even a single shove were to land on him again!” She sobbed with pure anguish, her emotions managing to reach the depth of almost all hearts, making the neighbors’ hearts clench in pity and sympathy for her.In the blink of an eye, every person forgot abo
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 189
*****It was as if the souls of everyone present had been ripped from their bodies right now, leaving behind lifeless bodies.No one moved, not the landlord, not Selene, not the two still-baffled officers, and the stunned crowd.Every single person other than Darius had been so sure that Xavier was finished—that he’d be pummeled into an unrecognizable heap, or, if fortune favored him, left a cripple. But the reality before them was a brutal contradiction.Their eyes continued darting from the four immobile bodies on the ground to Xavier, who continued standing calm and unarmed, and back again, bewilderment twisting their faces. At the same time, their minds raced with different questions they had no idea how to voice.This suspended moment seemed to drag on for what felt like a torturous eternity until, eventually,“I’ve always heard that people tend to become nice once they are nearing their graves,” a sudden calm, emotionless, and unhurried voice echoed, slicing through the si

Chapter 464 – The Crowd Finally Accepting Their Defeat
*****Everyone stared, slack-jawed from Xavier to Miss Aria, her words echoing endlessly in their minds.Yet, seemingly unfazed, Aria only gazed calmly at Xavier, waiting for his reaction.But...She would be waiting forever, because, as it turned out, Xavier wasn't going to react at all.Of course, Xavier wasn’t a fool.How could he not understand what the higher-ups of High Fashion were trying to do?They were obviously desperately trying to tie down a big fish, unwilling to let the customer who had just spent fifty million dollars walk away scot-free.What stupid "sole control rights"? What "50% off every future purchase"?All of it — every so-called benefit — was just bait to ensure Xavier would make High Fashion his exclusive brand for spending, splurging, and showing off his wealth.However, it seemed Xavier was the only one who immediately grasped this, or... no, everyone else understood it too.They were just simply too blinded by the sheer flex.After all, what ki
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
