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

*****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

*****"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

*****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

*****“Just shut the fuck up already, you old fat idiot!”A sudden thunderous roar echoed, shattering the tense atmosphere like a crack of lightning, leaving everyone stunned, their ears ringing from the sheer force of it.“This!” The landlord froze mid-sentence, his words evaporating as an icy wave swept over him, leaving the entire ground paralyzed in suffocating silence. Following this, a collective shiver rippled through the crowd, the oppressive air making even the boldest hesitate.The overweight old man had known the police leader for years and, thanks to his son's influence, he had never received anything from the other party other than respect and favor, the police leader consistently treated him as someone superior in every regard, almost servility, making all his men available at any time of the day, even himself. Yet now...“You… You… you really dare to speak to me like that?” he finally stuttered after a moment of staring dazedly, his voice trembling with disbelief a
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 197
*****Years ago, Barth had lived in constant fear that his secret would be exposed, that he would be asked to account for the resources given to him. But as time passed, and the Blackwoods’ trust in him solidified, his apprehension faded.With no one to challenge him, he grew bolder, redirecting every penny of the resources intended for the needy into his own pockets. Yet, now that he was already certain the Blackwood family had completely forgotten about the charity he managed for them, he was finally questioned.The world seemed to halt as Darius's question echoed, Barth’s confidence shattering with a speed visible to the eyes and giving way to sheer terror.Before he could think of concocting a defense, however, Darius’s voice cut through the heavy silence again.“Additionally,” he said, his tone razor-sharp, “If I recall correctly, my father has been transferring a substantial monthly allowance to you since then—based on your reports—for food and clothing to aid those you cla

Chapter 343 – Xavier’s Unexpected Offer
*****While Elliot’s mind spiraled in chaos, drowning in regret and pain, God’s Time could only stare at Xavier, tears pouring down his face like a broken dam.He had spent his entire life doing what he believed was right—helping others in the best way he knew how, without expecting anything in return.Yet, never — not even once in his wildest dreams had he imagined that great heart of kindness... of helping people with no expectation for return would one day be the very thing that saved his life.It helped him out in his direst, most hopeless, and weakest state.Gave him a second chance.A chance to live.And a chance to start over.Thinking this, God’s Time couldn’t help but clench his teeth tightly against each other, his chest heaving with the weight of his emotions. Then, sniffing hard, he nodded his head repeatedly, appearing as if he was sealing an unspoken vow.“Even… even if I have to do good until the day I die… even if kindness would end up taking my life,” he whis
Chapter 342 – Elliot’s Regret
*****By the time the husband and wife’s emotional outburst ultimately settled, several minutes had already passed.Realizing what she had done, Selene awkwardly let go of her husband and jumped to her feetThe ward fell into a heavy silence afterward, broken only by the occasional sniffle or shaky breath.Finally, however, God’s Time turned back to Xavier, his eyes swollen and red.He didn’t speak immediately.Instead, he stared, as if trying to reconcile the image of the boy he thought Xavier was with the man who had shattered his expectations beyond miles.The night they had met flashed through his mind like scenes from a fractured dream.He had assumed Xavier was also a lost soul — a wanderer like himself, someone who had fled his village in search of a greener pasture, not knowing that he would only be swallowed by the harshness of the city like himself and the others.He had even offered Xavier a place to stay in his crumbling home, thinking he was doing the boy a favor
Chapter 341 – What Did I Even Walk Into
*****Right now, the ward felt warm.Way too warm. The kind of warmth that didn’t come from sunlight or cozy conversations but from a tension so heavy it thickened the air.Xavier, the only one seated after being practically forced into a chair, felt this weight pressing down on him, so he sat awkwardly, his fingers lightly tapping against his knee, his sharp eyes flickering between Elliot and his father.The two men stood before him like sentries, bombarding him with an endless stream of gratitude.They thanked him for liberating their neighborhood.For shattering the chains of years-long oppression.For stepping into their chaos like an angel of vengeance and fighting a war that wasn’t his to fight.Their words tumbled over each other, their spits flying as they praised him relentlessly.Xavier, however, could only offer a faint, helpless smile in response.He was the one who had told them moments ago not to be tensed, but…He felt like he was suffocating, why?He wasn
Chapter 340 - Xavier’s Arrival
*****God’s Time remained frozen on his bed, his battered body stiffening as Selene’s trembling words settled like ice in his chest.Although he hadn’t heard what his wife had done, he could already guess what it meant, given that he knew his wife even more than the back of his hand.His heart began to thunder painfully against his ribs, the steady beeping of the heart monitor accelerating.“What… what do you mean?” he rasped, his voice brittle with anxiousness. “What… what did you do?”Selene, seeing what her words had caused clenched her fists, her entire body quivering.Tears began to slowly well up in her swollen, exhausted eyes, shimmering with regret so raw it seemed to swallow her whole.She wanted to take back her actions.To erase it.She wished she hadn’t done it, but…Some things just couldn’t be undone once done.Her lips parted, and in a voice brimming and fractured by guilt, she slowly and tremblingly recounted her actions — the betrayal she wished had never h
Chapter 339 - The Room’s Shock
*****Selene’s question hung in the air like a blade, sharp and unforgiving.Elliot and his father’s heads snapped toward God’s Time, their eyes wide with the same burning curiosity that had plagued them since the chaos had subsided.It wasn’t just a question. It was the question.How could God’s Time, a humble taxi driver with no background whatsoever, know someone like Xavier, and when?He did not just know Xavier—but had him storm through a warzone on his behalf, tearing through cops and the corrupt landlord like they were nothing.It made no sense.Given the sheer power Xavier had wielded—the terrifying strength, the Blackwood connections, the aura of someone who could crush entire lives with a glance—they couldn’t fathom why God’s Time had ever struggled despite knowing someone like that.Why hadn’t he used this connection this entire time?Why had he suffered in their neighborhood for so many years, scraping by under the weight of poverty and abuse?He could’ve lived i
Chapter 338 - God’s Time Disbelief
*****“Huff!”Xavier, in the back of the taxi, who presently had absolutely no idea that trouble was already closing in on him from all directions suddenly groaned, smacking himself on the forehead.“I have completely forgotten about the branch I planned to visit today,” he muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible.Just then;“Are you all right, sir?”The driver at the front, noticing Xavier’s sudden movement through the rearview mirror, abruptly asked with concern, snapping Xavier out of his thoughts.“I think so,” Xavier, after a moment of hesitation sighed, rubbing his temple.Hearing him, the driver gave a small nod and, deciding not to pry further, then he announced;“We’ve arrived at your destination.”“Huh?”Xavier blinked, completely taken aback for a moment before looking outside.He frowned in the next moment.“That was fast,” he murmured in a daze before shaking his head. ‘I must’ve been so lost in thought that I completely tuned out my surroundings,
Chapter 337 – Frosh’s Plan for Revenge
*****Meanwhile, back in the room Vidor had just vacated."Brother." A frail 17-year-old boy with ghostly pale skin suddenly stepped through the door beside the room.One of his arms was intact, while the other was missing, with bandages wrapped around the stump where it should have been, his garish outfit starkly contrasted with his delicate appearance.The instant the brawny, bald man, who had been utterly lost in his thought as he smoked his cigarette heard this voice, his head snapped up.In the following second, the ice-cold, murderous glint in his eyes thawed, replaced by something softer—concern, tenderness, and pure love.“Little bro, I told you to rest. What the hell are you doing here?” he demanded in a voice brimming with concerned anger, rushing over to help the frail young man into a chair.The boy’s crimson-rimmed eyes, swollen from silent and never-ending sobbing instantly locked onto his brother’s face.“I… I just can’t sleep, brother,” he murmured, voice quive
Chapter 336 – Vidor’s Helplessness and Rage
*****As Xavier walked away from Oceanview Estate, his mind churned with thoughts of everything that had just transpired.Then, suddenly—“I think it’s about time I settled the score with them.”He muttered to himself, his voice very low, almost a whisper to himself, but the weight behind his words was undeniable.In the following second, his gaze turned icy, and a murderous aura erupted from him, raw and unfiltered.Jennifer and Victor.He had suffered because of them.Because of her.She had been the catalyst, the one who had set everything in motion.Thinking this, Xavier couldn’t help but clench his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, the memories of the past coming flooding back—Jennifer. The woman he had once loved.The only reason he had been wrongfully accused and sent to rot away in the scariest prison in the world.But had she taken care of his parents? Looked after his company, his house, and belongings in his absence?No!She had ruined them.
Chapter 335 – Jennifer and Victor’s Terror
*****While the soldier was busy wrestling with his thoughts, still trying to understand the reason behind Xavier’s silence, Jennifer and Victor had been staring at him like hawks, all sorts of speculation running wild between them, each entertaining the same unsettling thought—just what kind of identity could Xavier possibly have?The soldier’s words earlier words had shaken them to the core, forcing them to reconsider everything they thought they knew about Xavier.Jennifer’s heart spiked in her chest.‘Could he really have some sort of an identity we should be concerned about now?’ She wondered anxiously, the mere possibility sending a strong chill down her spine.If true, she was sure the regret would haunt her for the rest of her life.Victor, on the other hand, clenched his fists tightly, his gut twisting in unease.Given his history with Xavier, he understood well that the only way to maintain his peace was to continue staying ahead in every way. If Xavier had managed to
