Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 214
*****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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 217 - Grace’s Scary Aura
***** 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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 218 - The Representatives Nervousness
***** Mason continued standing frozen for a moment after Grace had left the office, his mind reeling. This lasted until eventually, a sudden chill ran through him as he replayed the interaction, his heart stuttering in his chest. 'Was I… really just intimidated by that bitch's mere presence?' The thought seared through his pride, leaving him flustered. ‘Hope no one saw that?’ His gaze darted around nervously, and when he confirmed no one had witnessed his faltering moment—or so he assumed—relief washed over him. But before he could gather himself, however, a sharp, cutting voice interrupted his thoughts: "Brother, are you seriously going to stand there and watch that bitch still act like she owns this company instead of you?" Honey’s voice sounded sharp and biting, slicing through the silence like a dagger. “This…” Mason snapped out of his daze, and in the following second, his face twisted with suppressed fury, his fists tightening until his knuckles turned white.
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 219 - The Representatives’ Relief
*****Startled by the sudden furious bark, all heads turned toward the source—the door and just then, Mason burst in, his expression thunderous.Ignoring every other people, his glare zeroed in on Grace, radiating pure rage.“This…” A collective gasp rippled through the room, and everyone became stunned.Ignoring decorum, however, Mason stormed toward Grace, his anger unchecked."What do you think you’re doing?" he demanded again, his tone venomous and vicious, making Grace’s brows knit slightly, her icy facade finally showing a crack.At first, she considered ignoring him, but the gravity of the moment forced her to respond."Can we address this later?" she asked, her tone emotionless, though an underlying edge hinted at her irritation.“You…” Mason growled with rage. But before he could reply, however, Honey appeared in the doorway, her eyes blazing with contempt."Later? Continue what later?" she spat, striding into the room with the grace of a predator. Her gaze locked on
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 220 - Mason’s Apprehension
*****“So, you guys requested a meeting?” Mason leaned back in the president’s chair with a laid-off expression, crossing his legs with an air of insufferable arrogance. His gaze swept over the representatives, his smirk practically dripping with condescension.“This…” the representatives pause, exchanging uneasy glances.‘Is this… how the host of a meeting meant to behave?‘ they wondered in a stupor, but then recalling that someone like this was attending to them, their excitement bubbled beneath the surface.Had Grace been in that seat, her mere presence would have commanded silence and respect, and none of them would have dared to sit without her explicit permission. But since Mason was completely different—a spoiled, clueless scion who oozed entitlement. Taking advantage of his ineptitude, the representatives sat without ceremony, just as the old man entered the room.“President Mason,” a middle-aged woman stood, her demeanor calm but calculated, and as soon as Mason heard ho
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 221 - Mason’s Resentment
***** At first, Grace had been deeply shaken by the coordinated actions of the partner companies, whose perfectly timed decisions to cut ties and demand repayment of debts seemed almost too calculated. The coincidence had been heavily weighing on her mind, and this was what she had been trying to process when Mason's sudden accusation hit her like a bolt of lightning. His words left her momentarily stunned. But as she regained her composure, her gaze fixed on Mason, her eyes narrowing, and her expression turning cold and resolute. “You… seriously believe I’d sabotage the company I’ve spent my life building?” she asked, her voice sharp and frosty, cutting through the charged silence like a blade. “What will a desperate witch not do?” A derisive snort responded, drawing everyone’s attention to the speaker, Honey, who was currently glaring venomously at Grace, her lips curling with spite. Grace’s brows immediately knitted with dissatisfaction. “What do you mean?” She ask

Chapter 421 – The Crowd’s Shock and Disbelief
*****‘Owner of that card?’‘Sir?!’The security guards stood dumbfounded, their mouths slack, their jaws seemingly on the brink of unhinging.Shock struck them like a thunderclap.“What the hell is going on?” one of them finally muttered under his breath, echoing the question blazing through each of their stunned minds.Their gazes flicked toward the crowd that had steadily swelled behind the previously proud and composed bank manager—now looking more like a startled, out-of-place clerk.Meanwhile, the crowd…A sea of eyes currently bore down on Xavier, every single person staring at him with obsessive curiosity, as if hoping to peel away the layers of his being and discover the truth beneath.And finally… Xavier?He currently stood still.Unshaken. Serene. Detached.He radiated an eerie calm, like the eye of a deadly storm.Not an ounce of panic, not a flicker of uncertainty. Just composed stillness, as if he’d anticipated this exact sequence of events.Without rushing
Chapter 420 – The Manager’s Arrival
*****“Is it somehow my responsibility that you’re impoverished, insignificant, and utterly beneath notice?” the Chief Security Officer sneered, spitting his words with contempt so thick it practically clung to the air.His voice dripped with derision, and the scorn in his gaze was nothing short of poisonous.“Is it my fault,” he continued with a mocking tilt of his head, “that you chose to provoke—not just an ordinary individual—but the heir of an illustrious third-rank family? A man who, with a flick of his finger or a single spoken command, could erase every person you’ve ever known or cared for from existence?”Xavier, “…”He looked at the CSO as if watching a performing clown—blank, unimpressed, and disinterested.For a second, he said nothing, simply letting the silence thicken like fog.And then—“So what you’re telling me,” he said slowly, a trace of amusement curling in his tone, “is that the buffoon—who struts around flaunting his bloodline and abusing his identity—i
Chapter 419 – The Experience With The Dispatched Guards
*****About five minutes or so ago.Xavier did not leave immediately after stepping out of the bank. Instead, he stood quietly just outside the glass doors, his back straight, his expression as calm as still water.He wasn’t a petty person who actively sought conflict, but if provoked, he would not retreat. No—he couldn’t.Not with how he had been treated today.He had to make Brenda pay and make her partners in crime realize that not everyone should be looked down upon.Because he knew—deep in his bones that if he let this go, the memory would fester like a splinter lodged beneath his skin, tormenting him each time he remembered the utter contempt, the humiliation, the outright rejection that had been thrown at him without mercy today.Even when he had just been sentenced to prison—stripped of all dignity—he had never been treated with such disgust.He clenched his fists, a storm of fury and ice churning within his chest.He stood there, silently waiting. Waiting for the ine
Chapter 418 – Gregory’s Terror
*****“I… I think I might know who the card belongs to.”A voice broke the silence, soft and uncertain, but it was enough to slice through the tension like a blade.All heads turned instantly toward the source.It was the customer who had been standing at the front of the queue behind Xavier earlier—the customer directly in front of Brenda’s counter.Now, under the scrutiny of dozens of eyes, the man’s face turned pale as snow. Sweat trickled from his temples.If the ground could have opened up and swallowed him whole, he would have welcomed it.He hadn’t even meant to speak. The words had slipped out unintentionally, as though his subconscious had betrayed him.“You… you know the owner of this?” Gregory asked, carefully raising the obsidian-colored card again, his eyes wide with a strange mix of hope and dread.The customer opened his mouth, hesitating. His lips trembled.“I…” he began, swallowing hard.He genuinely considered denying it. Pretending he had made a mistake.
Chapter 417 – I Think I Might Know Who The Card Belongs To
*****“Where is the owner of this card?”The voice wasn’t loud, but it immediately struck the crowd like a thunderclap.It was chilling. Piercing. Unmistakably authoritative.Everyone stopped talking instantly, and then their heads turned in unison toward the speaker.The moment they identified the source—Gregory—they felt another wave of fear rise up their spines.‘So, he had released the cold… with nothing but his aura.’Even more terrifying? The question he asked was directed at someone specific.Brenda.The card had fallen in front of her counter.And now, Gregory’s frostbitten gaze was locked directly on her.She froze, her breath hitched, and her knees nearly buckled.She didn’t even dare blink.Brenda’s heart began to thunder wildly in her chest, each beat crashing like a drum against her ribcage.A suffocating pressure bore down on her, accompanied by a chilling aura, unlike anything she had ever experienced in her entire life.One second…Two seconds…Three s
Chapter 416 – Where Is The Owner of This Card?
Chapter 416 – Where Is The Owner of This Card? ***** ‘What is that thing?’ Numerous individuals pondered internally, their eyes fixated on the glossy black card lying motionless on the floor. Its surface shimmered faintly under the fluorescent lighting. It was clearly made of a rare material, unlike anything they had known. It bore a resemblance to a bank card, perhaps an advanced type of ATM card, but instinctively, everyone knew this wasn’t any ordinary financial instrument. The entire hall remained silent, as though collectively holding its breath. Each person watched Gregory’s reaction with heightened anticipation, wondering just what made this card so distinct to give him such a reaction. The tension lingered for what seemed like an unending stretch of time until finally... “Uncle… is that something important?” Julius finally asked, his curiosity pushed past its limit. His voice instantly shattered the stillness that had settled in within the bank like a
Chapter 415 – Whose Card Is That?!
*****Gregory’s eyes immediately locked onto the bewildered young man standing before him. “Could it be… are you affiliated with the Cromwell family here in Riverton?”‘What...?’A heavy hush blanketed the entire lobby like a woolen shroud.Every individual present—staff and customer alike—fixated on Gregory, their expressions frozen in astonishment.Even Julius found himself momentarily speechless.“You… you actually recognize my family?” he asked, visibly taken aback.Under ordinary circumstances, such a question might seem excessive. But in a metropolis like Riverton—where third-tier families numbered in the hundreds—it was understandable.Moreover, the heads of major branches like this one of Titan Financial Institution, especially the headquarters Branch, were often individuals hailing from second—or third-tier families themselves.Gregory didn’t immediately reply. Instead, his sharp gaze scanned Julius from head to toe. Then, just as abruptly, a faint yet familiar smile
Chapter 414 – Twisting The Event
*****The interior of the bank was deathly silent at this moment.Not a whisper, not a shuffle—only stunned expressions and the echoing tension in the air.Every gaze was fixed squarely on Gregory Langston, the prestigious branch manager of Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch.‘Offend a VVIP customer?’Whether they were employees in uniform or customers in line, furrowed brows rippled throughout the room like synchronized waves.“Why would we possibly offend a VVIP customer of all customers?”“Moreover, apart from VIP customers, we haven’t even received any customer worth being a VVIP in years, have we?”Confusion spread like wildfire amongst the various employees.Dozens of silent voices echoed within the minds of the bank employees, each one scrambling through recent memories, desperately attempting to recall if they'd slighted any important figures.But—nothing. No recollection. No one of significance had been turned away, mistreated, or even mildly inconven
Chapter 413 – Which Of You Dares To Offend The VVIP Customer?!
*****“H-He’s doomed,” a nearby customer muttered quietly, his voice barely more than a whisper, but his words echoed what everyone else was thinking.The others nodded their heads in agreement.Several people couldn’t help but pity Xavier.“I even suggested he back down... but he had to act so recklessly, despite clearly having nothing to rely on!”“Aish. I get that he wanted to stand his ground, but doesn’t he understand how life works? Some people... some people like them, you simply don’t go against them. Or you’ll end up regretting it for life.”“What a shame...”They sighed collectively, shaking their heads as they imagined the fate that awaited Xavier once the guards caught up with him and handed him over to Julius.Their thoughts naturally turned to Julius again, and they glanced in his direction—only to freeze.The fury and coldness that had distorted his face earlier could no longer be seen.Now, Julius wore the same expression he had when he first walked into the
