Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO 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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO 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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO 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?
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO 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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 233 – Are You The Biggest Fool In The Entire World
*****Given how quiet the conference room is right now, a blind person would assume it is empty if they were to walk into it.Not even the sound of breathing could be heard, all gazes staring in a daze at Xavier, whose calm and deliberate words had frozen the chaotic atmosphere, their jaws practically hitting the floor.This continued for what felt like an eternity until finally;“What nonsense did you just spout?” a venomous voice bellowed, so loud and spiteful that it instantly jolted everyone back to their senses.Following the voice, they saw it came from Mason, whose face was currently contorted with fury, his glare fixated on Xavier as if trying to burn him to ashes with his rage.Everyone immediately looked back at Xavier, wanting him to explain what he meant. But just then;“Do you even know who you just spoke to?” Honey hissed, seizing the opportunity to pile on, her voice heavily laced with venom. “Young Master Lucius here is the heir to the illustrious Scoan family,
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 234 – Why Not Just Marry Him Yourself Before Reaching Menopause?
*****The room was currently locked in stunned silence, the kind that weighed heavy and thick like an oppressive fog, everyone staring at Xavier in a daze.Honey’s face was an alarming shade of red, her chest heaving hysterically as though she were on the verge of explosion as she glared daggers at Xavier.This continued for a moment until eventually;“What... did... you... just... say?” she hissed through clenched teeth, her voice trembling with fury.“Huh?” Xavier’s brows furrowed, then completely unfazed, tilted his head as though genuinely confused by Honey’s reaction.“Why are you angry?” he asked seriously, his tone so sincere it was almost disarming.“Huh?” Everyone froze, the absurdity of Xavier’s question so alarming that they couldn’t believe their ears.‘He seriously did not just ask that question, did he?’ they wondered, and just then;“You… you… you…” Honey stammered, her finger trembling as she pointed at Xavier. “Did you just ask me why I’m angry?” She spat thr
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 235 – Honey’s Madness
*****In this world, one of the greatest abominations of all time was telling a woman to her face that she is getting old, especially bringing up her menopause status, and even more so if she was single.It was a line drawn not by ink but by collective understanding, a boundary that even the bravest dared not cross, as breaking it was the quickest way to provoke a woman's wrath.Yet, Xavier had just crossed it, even at that, boldly, unapologetically, and with an air of innocence that made it all the more infuriating.The silence that followed his words was so profound that even the faintest breath would have echoed loudly within the conference room.Everyone continued staring at him in a stupor, their faces frozen in various stages of disbelief. Time itself seemed to falter until suddenly;“Re… repeat what you just said, if you dare,” a low growl resonated through the room, dripping with coldness, and malice, as if it came from a heartless, evil soul, jolting everyone back to th
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 236 - I Want You Gone from This Room
*****“This…” Mason’s heart skipped a beat, seeing what his sister was going to do, making panic flash across his face.“Please control yourself, sister,” he pleaded frantically and without a second thought, grabbed Honey’s arm, holding her back.In the next second;“Let go of me!” Honey shrieked, thrashing violently in his grip. “I’ll kill him! I must kill him today!”“I know you must,” Mason responded, still holding Honey back firmly, his expression stricken. “We’ll deal with him, but not here! Don’t let your anger ruin everything we’ve worked for,” Mason whispered urgently into her ears, his grip tightening.Unfortunately for him, however, Honey was already beyond reason, her screams echoing in the room. “I don’t care!” she howled, her voice cracking as she struggled against Mason’s hold.“I must make him pay for this by sending him to his grave today!” Honey screamed, her voice breaking as she fought against Mason’s grip.“This…” everyone stared, not knowing what to think,

Chapter 345 - Elliot’s Emotional Outburst
********Xavier, “_”He didn’t need to ask anymore because it was already painfully obvious who this woman was.To confirm his speculation, he glanced at Elliot, and the moment he saw the one-armed man who was still frozen in place with a body drenched in cold sweat, Xavier sighed internally.‘I thought as much,’ he mulled.Understanding what was going on, Xavier first considered quietly leaving the room to give them privacy, but doing so felt like it would shatter the fragile moment.So, he stayed, watching quietly and doing his best to remain invisible.….On the other hand, by the time Tife’s sobs finally quieted, quite a lot of time had passed.With such a gentleness that no one would argue he was her biological father, the old man slowly helped Tife calm down.Seeing this, Selene cautiously approached, her eyes glistening.“Sister Tife,” she called out gently, her voice full of concern.“When… when did you come back?”Tife, carefully wiping her eyes gently looked at
Chapter 344 - The New Emotion In The Ward
*****At this moment, it was as though Elliot’s spirit, soul, and mind had completely shattered, leaving behind nothing but a hollow and lifeless shell of a man.How long has it been?One year? Two years?It felt like an eternity!And yet, currently standing before him, as if fate itself was trying to toy with him was none but… her.His wife.The very woman he had failed to protect.In an instant, the memories Elliot had worked so hard and done his best to bury came flooding back with cruel intensity.It began from their very first meeting and slowly moved to the way when she had given up everything to be with him… to their fleeting moments of happiness.And then… the day he lost her.The evil landlord, along with him, had destroyed everything. And now—just when he was trying to put her behind him, move forward, and find a way to become a better person—she appears.Several times prettier than he had remembered.……Meanwhile, while Elliot was completely lost in his daze,
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
