*****“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

*****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.
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 216 - Grace’s Never-expected Punishment
*****“Huh?”Grace’s unexpected defiance sent a sudden ripple of shock through the room, and then Mason, Honey, and Nico exchanged stunned, disbelief gazes, struggling to process the sudden shift in her demeanor.“You…” Honey began after a moment of silence, pointing a trembling finger at Grace.But Grace wasn’t finished. Her years of pent-up anger finally erupted like a storm.“You guys constantly undermine me and belittle my sacrifices,” she spat.“Wasn’t this company left in your father’s care after Grandmother could no longer manage it? And what happened?” She demanded frostily, glaring fiercely at Honey and Mason. “The company was nearly bankrupted!” She barked.“It was me who stepped in, pouring my blood, sweat, and energy into saving it. And yet, apart from Grandmother, has anyone here ever acknowledged my efforts before?”“This…” Everyone flinched, the silence following Grace’s question deafening.“While Grandma willed this company to me. Did she not will different mo

***** In the next second after Mason’s voice had broken the silence in the room, Nico and Honey broke into wide, gleeful grins, their expressions practically glowing with greed and malice. “Finally, all of this will be in our hands,” Nico said with a cruel chuckle, forgetting his surroundings for a moment. “No more room for that ungrateful wretch to be in control of what matters the most again!” “Hehehe…” Mason’s excitement boiled over as he turned to his father and sister. “Do you understand what this means? The entire company’s finances are finally at our disposal! I’m going to rent the most expensive suite in Lords’ Hotel for an entire week immediately after this—and then throw a party just to celebrate her removal.” “Just that?” Honey sneered, flipping her hair smugly. “I’m going to buy all those over $100k designer bags I’ve ever wanted. Who cares if I don’t need them? I’ll just burn them in front of those so-called influencers who had always looked down on me.” Her

Chapter 232 – You Are Such A Great Actor
*****The room fell into deafening silence and thick with tension after Mason finished addressing Lucius. Most people's hearts pound in their chests as they realize that whatever Mason was cooking, they will find out now.On the other hand, however, Lucius’s eyes gleamed with playfulness after hearing Mason’s words, and then he shifted his gaze toward Grace, his lips curling into a predatory smile.“Wifey,” he called out, his voice dripping with mock affection.The silence in the room became several times stronger.“I knew your defiance yesterday and you telling me you wouldn’t divorce that nobody was nothing but you just playing hard to get,” Lucius continued, his voice tinged with arrogance. “And I must say, it worked. I’m even more drawn to you now.”Behind him, his secretary stiffened, her face darkening with barely concealed anger. Her glare immediately settled on Grace, radiating venomous jealousy and hatred.‘How... how dare she?’ she thought, her chest heaving with supp

Chapter 231 – Cascade of Betrayed
*****Although the representatives were still in the same room as before, it felt as if they were standing on fragile shells right now, ready to shatter at any moment and plunge them right into a bottomless pit, their faces covered in cold sweat.Although their companies were also owned by second-rank powers, theirs belonged to the lesser second-rank, without the backing of any first-rank house, unlike Lucius, thus creating a gap as vast as heaven and earth.In the silence of the hall, their hearts pounded hysterically in their chests, especially under the amused gazes of Lucius and Mason. None of them could react for a moment, wondering what to do until eventually, a short middle-aged man stepped forward, suddenly bowing deeply in Lucius’s direction.“Young master Lucius,” he said, his voice unwavering. “I can vouch with the reputation of my company, Ellme Electronics, that I heard Miss Grace plead with President Mason to contact you, that she has agreed with your wish.”"Huh?

Chapter 230 – Mason’s Well-planned Trap
*****While Grace's mind raced, trying to decipher Mason and his sister's intentions and formulate a response, the representatives gradually regained their composure and exchanged glances.‘Did I somehow sleep through that moment?’ one of them wondered, racking his brain to recall when such a scene had occurred.‘Could these siblings be talking about another place?’ another person among the representatives pondered.Ever since they had arrived, Mason had been the one showing off his authority and flaunting his newfound power, leaving Grace no opportunity to speak, let alone plead. And yet now...Back to Grace, her gaze darted between Mason and Honey after a moment, still searching for an explanation behind their sudden alliance in this obvious fabrication.No matter how much she tried to make sense of their motives, however, she found nothing.Eventually, she shook her head slightly, deciding not to waste more energy on deciphering their games again.Taking a deep breath, she straight

Chapter 229 – Grace and The Representatives’ Bewilderment
*****‘Has she really decided to agree to his term?’This question echoed through Nico, Honey, the old man, and Dorothy's minds, while the representatives continued standing in a bewildered silence, their gazes darting between Mason, Grace, and Lucius, trying to piece together what was unfolding.Even Xavier, who was rarely fazed by anything, appeared genuinely bewildered at this moment, his sharp mind racing as he also tried to process whether he had misheard or if Grace had truly agreed to Lucius’s terms.Of course, he knew exactly what those terms entailed, one of the major reasons Grace had approached him for marriage in the first place.With this, a suffocating silence enveloped the room, which stretched on for what felt like an eternity until Xavier finally broke it with a quiet, confused voice:“But I already promised to help you…”Everyone immediately turned their gazes toward him at the sound of his voice, the representatives, gazes tinged with curiosity. But just then

Chapter 228 – Mason’s Scheme
*****The atmosphere in the conference room was so stifling at this moment, the tension so thick it was almost tangible, as every eye remained locked on Lucius. “He… he is really young master Lucius?” one of the representatives stuttered.“What’s he doing here?” Another murmured in a daze.“Wasn’t he the one who ordered our various companies to pressure Sky Group?”“Or… could he be here to finish them off?”Murmurs spread among the representatives, their confusion evident in their wary glances at Lucius, trying to decipher the reason behind Lucius’s presence.Grace, however, remained outwardly indifferent, though her heart churned with a mix of nervousness, confusion, and suspicion.‘What’s he doing here again?’ she wondered, her cold gaze on him. ‘Didn’t I already make it clear to him yesterday that I would never have anything to do with him again?’Finally, Mason.He still appeared utterly dumbfounded right now.

Chapter 227 – Mason’s Rage
*****The tension in the conference room was suffocating at this moment, a taut silence following Xavier's nonchalant words. “Again?” one of the representatives whispered, their astonishment breaking the stillness.Suppose the representatives had initially dismissed Xavier’s earlier remarks as a slip of the tongue or some misunderstanding, his repeated references to Grace as his wife left no room for doubt, the weight of this revelation, striking them like a tidal wave.Their eyes instinctively turned to Grace, knowing that if she had failed to hear Xavier before, she must have heard him clearly now. To their shock, however, her expression remained composed—eerily calm.This lack of denial instantly deepened the representatives’ confusion, and they exchanged dumbstruck glances, as though they’d just stumbled upon a secret capable of shaking the very foundations of the world.‘Grace is married?’ all thought in unison, their hearts pounding at this revelation.Mason, Honey, and

Chapter 226 – The Representatives’ Shock
*****The conference room was still as death right now, the air heavy with tension.All eyes continued darting between Mason, who currently stood in stunned silence, acting as though he had just eaten a bunch of flies, and the handsome newcomer, who had just casually stridden in, exuding confidence, his easy demeanor somehow commanding attention.Different thoughts went through the representatives’ minds and their confusion cackled like static in the silence.This continued for what felt like an eternity until finally;“Hmph!” Honey broke the spell with a derisive snort.“What’s a nobody like you doing here?” Her voice dripped with disdain, fury, darkness, and coldness.“Huh…” The representatives blinked, stunned.‘Was he really not the powerful backer that brat had been arrogant about?’They thought, the realization hitting them like a punch.In the next instant, all their attention swung back to Mason, whose face was now a shade of crimson—embarrassment, anger, and disbeli

Chapter 225 – Mason’s Bewilderment
*****“So, President Mason, you said we only needed to wait a minute. It’s been almost three hours now since then. What exactly are we waiting for?” One of the representatives asked without standing up, now showing his complete disregard for Mason and the entire Sky group as a whole.While the question sounded as polite as possible, it was tinged with simmering frustration and unhappiness.They had thought that having been made to return to his senses, Mason would at least try to address them now, but contrary to their thoughts;Mason, slouched arrogantly in the president’s chair, shot the speaker a venomous glare, his irritation still lingering from his earlier defeat in the video game.“Then get the hell out of my company if you can’t wait again!” he snapped, his tone as sharp as broken glass.“This…” Everyone flinched, following which a stunned silence fell over the room, the representatives staring at Mason, their jaws slack with disbelief.“P-President Mason…” one of them
