Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 208
*****Xavier couldn’t react for a moment, staring dazedly at his mother.‘Is she serious?’ he wondered, but the determined expression on her face quickly dispelled any doubts.‘She meant every word,’ he concluded and with this, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.“So… because of your in-laws, my sleep doesn’t matter anymore?” he asked bitterly, half in disbelief and half amused.In response, however;“Hmph.” Laura scoffed, grabbing Xavier’s arm and tugging him forward.“You can catch up on sleep later. It’s far too early to start making a bad impression on your in-laws.”“This…” Xavier couldn’t decide whether to chuckle or sigh at her determination, but eventually, he sighed in defeat.“At least let me call the estate management to send over some clothes first,” he pleaded helplessly, and only after hearing this did Laura hesitate.She stared for a moment before snorting and waving impatiently.“Fine, but hurry up,” she responded.With a resigned glance at his mother,

*****“Mother, has the estate sent the dress I asked for?” Xavier, walking out of the opulent, luxurious washroom, whose size rivaled that of a two-bedroom apartment called out, rubbing his damp hair with a hand towel, but then just as he stepped into the room, he froze mid-stride.His gaze locked on the massive-sized bed, where a flashy red suit, glistering with golden gems was spread out, his mother currently smoothening it with visible excitement.“What… is that?” Xavier asked slowly, his voice laced with astonishment, and hearing him, Laura, startled looked up, finally noticing him.“Oh, son, you’re already out!” she said brightly, her grin widening, then as though recalling something, she gestured excitedly toward the suit."This is the outfit the estate sent over—just look at it!?" Laura took a moment to admire the suit, her voice brimming with joy “Isn’t it magnificent?” She inquired, then not waiting for a response, beamed.“It screams wealth and elegance! You’ll look st

*****“Are… you okay, mother?” Xavier asked cautiously once his call ended, noticing his mother staring off into space.“I…” Laura flinched slightly, snapping back to reality.“I am,” she replied, a bit too quickly. But when she noticed the doubt in Xavier’s expression, she sighed and stood up, looking at him seriously.“Son,” she began, her tone firm but caring, “I know you might hesitate to embrace expensive things because of… our financial struggles, but—”“Financial struggles?” Xavier interrupted, his brow furrowing in confusion.“I didn’t mean it that way,” Laura said hastily, her hands fluttering nervously, not knowing how to express herself.“What I mean is that you shouldn’t stress yourself so much or create unnecessary worries. What feels like a stretch today will one day be commonplace. What seems luxurious now will one day feel ordinary, and what feels insufficient will eventually become excessive.”She rose and walked closer to Xavier, her hand resting gently on hi

*****“Yes, come in,” a cold yet melodious voice rang out from the depths of a spacious, luxurious office. A second later, the bulletproof door slid open, revealing Dorothy in a knee-length blue pencil skirt that perfectly accentuated her slender yet slightly curvy figure, complemented by a sharp white blazer. She held a stylish blue handbag in one hand and a tidy folder in the other.“Good morning, boss,” she greeted respectfully as she approached the grand desk at the center of the room.Just as she was about to set the folder in her hand down, however, the figure behind the desk looked up from a pile of documents she was working on.“You’re here,” Grace uttered calmly, stretching slightly, her every movement radiating an air of poise, coldness, and elegance. However, her brows furrowed in the next second as she caught sight of Dorothy staring at her, wide-eyed and frozen in place.“Something the matter?” Grace asked, her tone laced with mild curiosity.Dorothy blinked rapidly
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 212
*****At the same time, Grace braced herself for Dorothy’s inevitable bad news, a young man in a tailored Chanel suit strode arrogantly toward a sleek black car. His lips curled into a devilish, energized smile, exuding a confidence that bordered on disdain.“Good morning, Master,” a muscular bodyguard greeted, bowing respectfully before opening the car door.Lucius Scoan acted as if the bodyguard didn’t exist, his gaze fixed ahead.Without a word, he slid into the back seat where a woman in a revealing dress awaited. Her sultry demeanor filled the space as she held an iPad in one hand and a steaming cup of coffee in the other.“Good morning, Master,” she purred, her voice low and honeyed, her eyes glimmering, slightly misty, her cheeks tinged pink—a deliberate attempt to entice Lucius, handing the steaming cup of coffee.“Morning,” Lucius replied, taking a sip of the coffee as his sharp eyes scanned the secretary’s form.In the next second, Lucius’s breathing quickened, and withou

*****Back in Grace’s office, the air was currently heavy with tension.Completely unaware that someone she had long forgotten about was currently plotting her downfall—something that would soon leave her and her entire family hopeless, helpless, and terrified Grace sat stiffly, listening to Dorothy’s report, which, as she had anticipated, was far from good news.The mission had been straightforward: Dorothy was to visit a potential company to present Grace’s meticulously crafted plan in the hope of securing even a small share of the projects—just a fragment from the leftovers.Under normal circumstances, Grace would have handled it herself—her presence and persuasive abilities often being the key to success—but that morning, she had simply run out of time.…According to Dorothy, she had arrived at the company’s headquarters right on time, coincidentally alongside the CEO. However, as soon as her identity was learned, security intervened and escorted her out, then the reception

*****Dorothy had been tasked with uncovering the connection between the Blackwood patriarch and Xavier.She had carried out the mission, but in the heat of her desperation to help her boss, she had entirely forgotten to report her findings.“You didn’t carry out the task?” Grace asked, her sharp tone cutting through Dorothy’s awkwardness.Dorothy swallowed hard. “I… I did, boss,” she admitted, guilt written across her face.“And?” Grace pressed, leaning forward.“I…” Dorothy hesitated, then began recounting her findings about Xavier and the Blackwoods.She described how Xavier had helped the elderly patriarch and how the old man later witnessed Xavier’s father being bullied.Her report was startlingly accurate, capturing events with precision, save for a few vital omissions. And had Xavier been there, he would have been stunned—wondering if she had been there.…..For a moment after Dorothy was done, Grace couldn’t react, then dazedly;“So… in other words, the villa was a
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 215 - Grace Ganged Up Against
*****For what felt like an eternity after the old man finished speaking, Grace and Dorothy remained frozen, stunned into silence, refusing to believe their ears.Meanwhile, seeing Grace like this, Mason, Honey, and Nico had a wide, smug grin on their faces, their eyes gleaming with malice, their satisfaction palpable as they relished Grace’s stunned expression.Eventually, Grace blinked, snapping herself out of her stupor. Her heart then pounded as she looked at the old man, disbelief heavily etched into her features.“I… I don’t think I heard you quite right, Grandfather,” she stammered, her voice trembling, thinking her ears had deceived her. Just at that moment;“Then I suppose your ears have stopped working,” Honey sneered, her tone dripping with venom, staring Grace down with a face etched heavily with a mocking smile.Seeing this look on Honey’s face, Grace froze again, then her gaze flicked toward Mason and Nico, searching their faces for any hint of what was going on.

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
