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

*****“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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 198
*****The uproar continued until it reached its peak, and just then, Darius raised a hand. Gradually, the shouting quieted as if a switch had been flipped. The crowd’s intense fury then focused on their fiery gazes, fuming as they glared at the father-son duo.“You’ve heard them, right?” Darius said coldly after the place was completely silence.“All these years, my father has sent resources for renovations. Yet this place looks like it hasn’t been touched in centuries, and even pigs would reject these conditions, so, tell us, where is the estate, I want to visit it myself and see the condition there?”He asked, his words sharp as a dagger, cutting through the pretense, and at his question, Barth and his father both slumped in unison, their spirits seemingly crushed by the weight of their guilt.For a moment after, an eerie stillness fell over the street, so heavy that everyone felt suffocated, but other than the father-son duo, no one noticed.This continued for what felt like
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 199
***** "Argh!!!" "This is Death!!!" "Mercy!!!" "Spare us!!!" The relentless, blood-curdling screams cut through the dark night, each wail raw with agony, sounding as though the owners' skin were being peeled with the blunt edge of rusted blades, each cry piercing the hearts of those who dared to listen, stretching time into an unbearable eternity. Only when the voices began to weaken, however—breaking into shallow, rattling gasps—did the savage mob finally begin to hesitate, the fear of murder creeping in, forcing their rage to simmer. Yet, by then, the arrogant, overweight father and son were unrecognizable. Once clad in luxurious, expensive clothes, they now lay sprawled like grotesque parodies of their former selves, their clothes torn and soaked in blood, grime, and sweat, while their swollen faces and brutalized bodies looked almost inhuman. Despite the brutal beating—enough to have sent most to their graves were it not for the duo's excessive bulk—the mob’s
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 200
*****While the police leader was scheming to forge a connection with Xavier, the neighbors stood frozen, disbelief etched onto their faces as murmurs of astonishment rippled through the crowd, the undeniable truth settling upon them that Xavier was far more than any of them had ever imagined.This realization struck Selene hardest of all, making her mouth continue hanging open in shock, her wide eyes nearly bulging from their sockets as she stared at Xavier, a whirlwind of questions racing through her mind.‘How could my husband, who I believed to be an ordinary man, know someone like him?’‘Why did he let us suffer for so long under the landlord's thumb if he had a connection like Xavier?’‘And why... why did he keep this hidden from me?’Different thoughts like this continued swirling in her mind for what felt like forever until suddenly, it gave way to something darker, and before she knew it, guilt twisted like a dagger in her chest, the memory of her betrayal of Xavier sur
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 201
*****Xavier’s disinterest in determining the punishment for the father-son duo was apparent in his calm yet loaded response. However, anyone sharp enough to read between the lines would have caught the true meaning behind his words.And Darius, given that he was a man of formidable intellect, understood this all too well, and as soon as this realization dawned on him, fear crept into his face, particularly seeing as every single pair of eyes burned with anticipation, watching him, waiting for him to act.Swallowing hard, Darius hurriedly shifted his gaze back to Xavier, only to see that same calm, emotionless expression that hadn’t changed—unfazed and utterly unreadable on his face. Seeing this, Darius clenched his fists.“What a cunning brat,” he thought bitterly, perfectly understanding that Xavier had set a subtle trap for his family.That’s right.‘He most likely believed my family would assist those two gluttons, and because of that, he set a trap for us—a trap that could

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
Chapter 455 – Roxie Speculation
*****An overwhelming silence enveloped the boutique at this moment, thick enough to strangle breath.No one could utter a word after hearing Xavier’s old declaration.Not the customers from Dior who had eagerly waited to see the destitute Xavier and his parents humiliated.Not the staff of the Dior boutique who had ridiculed the family nonstop with brazen disdain.Not even Miss Lin, Dior’s supervisor, whose proud demeanor was suddenly frozen in time.Not the intrigued bystanders, whose whispers had faded into oblivion.Not even Miss Aria Wynn, the poised overseer of High Fashion, known for her unshakable composure, found her voice.And certainly not Amelia—who, despite never looking down on Xavier, had never once believed he could possibly command such astronomical wealth.Yet among them all, the ones most deeply rattled were none other than…Xavier’s parents.Barely a week ago, they had been scraping coins together, often skipping meals to survive the day.Yet now, their s
Chapter 454 – Here, Make The Payment
*****Roxie gave a detailed report, claiming that after she kicked Xavier and his parents out of her store, they went into the High Fashion boutique, tried on several dresses, and Amelia irresponsibly entertained them.She claimed she had gone to the High Fashion store out of goodwill, to warn Amelia about the kind of people Xavier’s family were, and yet, instead of being thanked, she and everyone who had gone out of goodwill were rudely insulted.Roxie twisted the truth with practiced ease, flipping the entire narrative in her favor. She painted Xavier and his family as swindlers, and Amelia, the sales attendant, as an enabler of criminal behavior.By the time she finished her story, many of those who had been present during the incident stared at her, dumbfounded.They knew the truth, and it was far from what Roxie had just reported.Yet, not a single one of them spoke up.Instead, after staring at her in a daze for a moment, they smiled brightly and supported her tale, eager
