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

*****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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 190
*****It took only a short moment for the two officers, who had been broken-hearted about their poor luck to realize the task given to them, and with this, their entire being became filled with joy.‘Hehehe… the patient dog does eat the fat bone,’ one of them thought joyfully, the two sending mocking gazes at their four unmoving colleagues and then looking playfully at Xavier for a second, before suddenly;"He’s mine!" the larger of the two, who had wanted to attack Xavier a moment ago, growled, his humiliation from earlier fueling his fury, then not waiting for his partner’s response, he lunged at Xavier, his movements wild and filled with vicious intent.“This…” the second officer became furious and then…“Not if I get him first!” he snapped, charging after his colleague with rage.Perhaps the two were blinded by the lure of the reward or just too stupid, but they never bothered thinking about what had happened to their four colleagues again after the mission had been transfer
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 191
*****For what felt like an eternity, no one was able to react. They stood frozen, staring in a trans, their mouths agape and their eyes almost popping out of their sockets with sheer disbelief.It was as though they were witnessing the impossible—the sight of a corpse that had long been buried and forgotten, clawing its way out of the grave.Aside from the anguished screams of the figure writhing frantically in the dirt, an oppressive silence hung over the scene right now. It felt as though the very definition of sound itself had vanished, leaving the onlookers ensnared in an unsettling, suffocating stillness.This persisted until, eventually;“What... what just happened?” someone stammered, their trembling voice echoing the unspoken question lingering in every mind, and as soon as everyone heard him, their eyes turned to the still expressionless Xavier, their stares heavy with a blend of fear and suspicion.It was as if he were a sort of nightmarish being pulled straight from
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 192
*****Still in the middle of the night, within the decaying slum.Although an hour or so had crawled since the fatty old landlord had made his desperate call to his son, no one dared to stir or even whisper. Not the wary neighbors. Not the battered officer nursing his crushed arm. Not Selene. Not a single soul.They continued to stare in absolute silence, the tension in the air pressing down like an invisible weight so palpable that some struggled to draw air into their lungs.However, amidst this smothering atmosphere, Xavier remained calm.He stood motionless, his arms folded across his chest, and his expression unreadable as he watched the arrogant, mockery, and heartless smirk plastered across the landlord's face as if he had no idea what was going through the other party’s mind.To be sincere, Xavier wasn’t even going to the old man a moment ago like the obese landlord and everyone else had assumed.That’s right.While he greatly despised and loathed the old man’s cruelty
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 193
*****"His… son is here—with so many entourages!?! " the neighbors sat frozen in terror, staring dazedly at the commotion caused by the vehicles.This lasted for what felt like an eternity before eventually, a shared instinct for survival took over them and without hesitation, they leaped to their feet in a frenzy, desperate to escape.Before they could turn to flee in different directions, the thunderous roar of the approaching engines extinguished any hope of escape. Then the drivers, showing no concern for their vehicles, charged forward with an air of absolute dominance, as if they owned the world.In an instant, more than five police cruisers and a sleek, intimidating SUV closed in around the crowd.As soon as this happened, the atmosphere grew heavy with tension, and the onlookers felt their breath catch, trapped between their lungs and throats as if the gravity of the moment had robbed them of the ability to breathe.They watched in stunned, fearful silence as the officer

Chapter 411 – Find The Powerhouse and Seek Forgiveness
*****“You inherited one of the most successful banks in all of Riverton City,” the caller continued, his voice laced with venom, not giving Gregory the chance to respond. “Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch. A top performer with sky-high ROI. And what did you do with it? You turned it into a graveyard for profit in less than three years.”“I…” Gregory’s lips parted again, but his voice faltered into nothing.The voice on the phone did not allow him time to defend himself.“And on top of that, somehow—somehow—you still managed to offend an entity so powerful that they could dismantle our entire financial institution with a single phone call. Tell me, Gregory, how does a man like you pull that off? You’ve just made history.”The words were heavily coated with thick sarcasm, but Gregory barely registered them.His brain had once again short-circuited.‘My branch… provoked someone capable of collapsing the entire bank? How? When? Where?’‘Just how in the good world
Chapter 410 – Gregory’s Disbelief
*****"All of you are to vacate the premises immediately. A team has already been dispatched to seal the building. And if any of you are still inside when they arrive, they will have full authority to lock you in. Permanently."These words reverberated in Gregory Langston, the branch manager of Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch’s mindFollowing this:One heartbeat—dead silence.Two heartbeats—utter stillness.Three heartbeats—He stood utterly frozen in his office, his body rigid, and his eyes glazed over like those of a man who had just witnessed his world collapse.His limbs remained still in place, stiff as stone, and his pupils stared blankly ahead—soulless, vacant. It was as if the very essence had been ripped from him, leaving behind a mere husk in a suit.An oppressive stillness consumed the office like a thick fog, heavy and suffocating, yet Gregory remained completely unaware.His breath barely came out as his ears continued ringing with the echo of
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
