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

*****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

*****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

*****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

*****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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 194
*****No one moved or spoke for what felt like an eternity after Barth had crashed down.Not Selene, not the neighbors crowding the street, not the assembled police officers, and most certainly not the landlord, whose wrathful fantasies of vengeance against Xavier and anyone tied to him had abruptly evaporated into thin air right now.They all remained rooted in place, their eyes transfixed on Barth, who remained trembling on the ground, his entire body quaking as if he had come face-to-face with the embodiment of his worst nightmare.The oppressive silence stretched on, suffocating and unbroken for what felt like an eternity, until eventually, the landlord finally forced himself to return to his senses, then swallowing audibly, he jabbed a pudgy finger at his son, his voice trembling with a mix of disbelief, shock, and nervousness.“Son… are… are you all right?” he stammered, and as soon as the crowd heard him, they collectively leaned forward, their ears straining to catch Bart
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 195
*****“This…” A collective gasp finally rippled through the crowd after what felt like an eternity had passed, shattering the heavy silence as all eyes locked on the old landlord, who remained sprawled face-first in the dirt.“What… what just happened?” Someone stuttered, refusing to believe their eyes.Even the obese old man stayed frozen in shock, to the extent that he wasn’t able to spit out the gritty soil invading his mouth.Although he hadn’t seen the culprit when he fell, the truth now struck him like a cruel joke. It was his son’s foot—his own son’s foot—that had caused his humiliation.‘This can’t be real,’ he thought, his mind whirling in denial.‘My son wouldn’t trip me to make such a huge joke of me!’‘Even if he did, it must not be intentional! Definitely not!’A storm of conflicting thoughts churned in his mind, each more absurd than the last, and this lasted for what felt like an eternity before he finally forced himself to lift his gaze to Barth, expecting some

Chapter 282 - Honey’s Disbelief
*****Honey had just awakened from her faint after having a deep, peaceful sleep, and the first person her eyes encountered was the aloof and frostily detached Grace.So, without pausing to consider what she might have missed and how long she had been unconscious, her fury reignited.Before her eyes opened, he had thought Grace’s marriage would have already been finalized and she would have moved to start her new life of hell and torture, yet… she still dared to be in the same room with her, with that frosty and aloof demeanor she hated the most.On the other hand, the room, hearing Honey’s spiteful question continued staring at her in stunned silence, all of them having entirely forgotten her presence until now.What even took them several times greatly aback was Honey’s first behavior upon returning to his senses, and several people wondered if she was just acting or hadn’t really realized the new change of power and authority.….The expressions on every face at this moment
Chapter 280 - Lucius Rage
*****A sleek, luxurious car sat silently in the parking lot, its elegant design and calm exterior betraying the storm raging within.Inside, the atmosphere was anything but serene right now.The air felt extremely thick, as though an invisible weight was pressing down on everyone within right now.Each breath was labored, the tension so suffocating that it seemed to consume the very oxygen in the space.The pressure was so tense that it materialized into frost that clung to the windshields, making it look as if winter had suddenly descended inside the vehicle.Four people occupied the car—two in the front and two in the back.Yet, three of them dared not make a sound, feeling the charged, almost electric sensation filling the air and pricking at their skin like tiny needles.The poor old driver’s face was a mask of anxiousness, fear, and confusion, his thoughts swirling with unanswered questions.Beside the driver, the bodyguard’s eyes burned with fury and killing intent, hi
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
