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 438 – Going For Shopping
*****Although he had already assured his father and he had already accepted, Xavier, however, could sense something lingering beneath his composed exterior.A subtle crease formed between his brows, and his gaze remained distant—thoughtful, perhaps even troubled.“Are you still worried about her background?” Xavier asked, his voice quiet but direct.The question seemed to jolt David from his reverie. He looked at his son for a long second, then let out a slow, burdened sigh.“It’s not that I dislike the little girl’s presence in our life… it’s the other way, in fact,” he began. “But given her history… how fragile her heart is, the trauma she’s been through—your mother didn’t hesitate to claim her as our granddaughter.” He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.“But what if her other family members come looking for her? What if they think we’ve kidnapped her and filed a police report? Would we be able to get out of it?”That hit Xavier like a splash of cold water.He blinked, mo
Chapter 437 – An Unexpected Topic
*****By the time Xavier finished preparing his meal, the living room was once again filled with warmth and laughter.Sarah had just completed Little Lola’s braid, and the results were stunning.The little girl stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself with such unfiltered joy that it made even Xavier pause.She looked like a radiant soul—pure, innocent… like a tiny princess in a fairy tale.“Beautiful…” she whispered over and over, looking utterly entranced by her reflection.Her eyes sparkled brightly in their sockets with genuine awe as if she couldn’t believe the image staring back was truly her.“Little Lola has never been this beautiful in her whole life,” she said, her voice as serious as a judge delivering a verdict.The adults exchanged amused glances.The words sounded like self-praise, something that would normally come off as vain, but the way she said it—so sincerely and so innocently, it simply melted hearts instead.Sarah chuckled softly, brushing a few s
Chapter 436 – A Moment Of Peace
*****It was already well past noon when Xavier finally stepped out of the bank.The sun was high, the day bustling, but he felt oddly calm like a storm had passed and he’d emerged standing.Without wasting any more time, he hailed a taxi and headed straight back to Oceanview Estate.Villa Number One welcomed him with open arms and warmth that immediately softened the weariness on his face.Inside, a quiet domestic scene played out that made Xavier’s heart lift.His mother, Sarah, was gently braiding Little Lola’s hair, her hands moving with patient care.The little girl, on the other hand, sat excitedly, her legs swinging off the chair, occasionally giggling at something being said.Xavier’s father, David, sat nearby, animatedly telling stories that made both Sarah and Lola smile.For a brief moment, Xavier stood still, soaking it in.The warmth. The peace. The kind of scene he’d always dreamed of growing up.He almost didn’t want to move or speak, not wanting to shatter t
Chapter 435 – A Bitter Awakening
*****Brenda stood still at this moment, her eyes glassy with unshed tears as regret stormed her thoughts.Her mind drifted backward, replaying every decision, every turning point, every slip into arrogance.‘I couldn’t find any proper job for years after graduation,’ she thought, biting down on her trembling lip. ‘I was close to becoming homeless… starving. I couldn’t even afford a loaf of bread, let alone rent or dignity.’Her fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into her palms as her soul twisted in guilt.‘And when I finally got this job—this opportunity—through a lucky break, I vowed to cherish it. I swore I’d be loyal, that I’d treat it like my life depended on it. That I would never, ever be fired.’She blinked, and the tears finally began to sting her eyes.‘But what did I become after just a few months…?’The reflection tore through her like glass.She looked utterly broken, her once-proud aura now reduced to a shell of defeat. Her confident stride had vani
Chapter 434 – No Redemption Left
*****It had been more than three minutes since Xavier and the manager exited the bank, yet silence still gripped the bank like a vice.No one spoke.No one moved.The echoes of what had just transpired continued repeating endlessly in every mind, like a haunting dream on a loop.The employees stood frozen in place, pale-faced and drenched in cold sweat, while customers remained rooted, too stunned to process anything.And then, there was Brenda—her expression hollow, as the soul had already abandoned her body. Her eyes were vacant, her breathing shallow.She stood there, unmoving, like a statue carved from guilt and shame.Finally… the guards.All of them were still on their knees, unmoving.They had known that Xavier’s wrath was coming and had tried to prepare.They had knelt before him long before he reached them, as they had originally reached them.They'd begged, wailed, and thrown every ounce of self-respect out the window.They blamed the devil.Literally.“It wa
Chapter 433 – One Card, Half A Trillion
*****All blood was pumping fiercely at this moment.Even the customers in the crowd could feel it, as if they too were tangled in the madness unraveling before them.‘He was treated like trash… and in retaliation, he decided to withdraw his savings, knowing that’s enough punishment for the bad treatment he was given?’'No… not just punishment. Something enough to bankrupt an entire national banking system!’People blinked, looking stunned. Their indignation, their pride, their frustration—they’d all come to the bank for similar reasons.Many had planned to withdraw everything from their accounts as a form of protest. They, too, had grievances after all.They were constantly mistreated by the bankers and constantly ignored and overlooked as well, even always getting abused.But now?Now, their actions felt nothing more than children’s tantrums compared to what they’d just witnessed.Even the customer with the largest savings among the ordinary customers began to shrink inwar
Chapter 432 – What Is A Flex If Not This
*****From a young age, Julius had been taught a foundational truth of high finance:Every account has a ceiling—no matter who you are and how limitless your account and card are.Whether you were a high-ranking official or belonged to a first-tier powerhouse, the rule remained unbreakable.Even the legendary families at the apex of global wealth—those whose shadows loomed over economies. It was said they were bound by this limitation.Yes, you could control assets worth billions… trillions, even.Yes, your investments could span industries, continents, and entire empires.But when it came to liquid funds—hard cash—there was always a cap. A regulatory boundary.Julius had questioned this growing up.He had wondered why someone couldn’t just liquidate everything they had. Why couldn’t they simply convert all their assets into cold, spendable cash?The answer had always been delivered in helpless and respectful tones by economic tutors and advisors alike:Inflation. Stability
Chapter 431 – The Account Balance That Causes Commotion
*****They say maintaining absolute silence in a room with fewer than fifty people is easy. Manageable, even.Once the number crosses a hundred, though? That’s where it becomes nearly impossible.Human beings would breathe. They would shift. They would cough, murmur, sneeze, and move without realizing it. Now, multiply that by a hundred, and absolute silence becomes little more than a fantasy.But that law didn’t seem to apply here. Not today. Not in this bank.More than three hundred people were packed shoulder to shoulder within the confines of the main banking hall—customers, employees, security personnel, and even a few passersby who had walked in just moments earlier.And yet…Not a sound.Not a whisper.Not a rustle.Not even the rustle of fabric or the sigh of shifting weight.This wasn’t just silence. This was a… void.It was the kind of unnatural, oppressive stillness that made the very air feel thick and heavy—as though it might shatter if anyone dared to move.
Chapter 430 – The Titanium Account Balance
*****Right now, Julius simply stood there, looking utterly frozen.He stared blankly at Xavier, his anger completely evaporated.His arrogance had withered, and now, only confusion and disbelief remained.‘Is… is he sane?’ he wondered.Who rejects VIP treatment?His brain simply couldn’t process what was happening.….Meanwhile, Gregory stared hard at Xavier, a storm of emotions passing through his gaze.What he had just heard had completely humbled him.There was no arrogance in Xavier’s tone. No flaunting of power. No smug satisfaction. And no ridicule.It was only a quiet principleA principle Gregory had long buried beneath rules and obligations.To be honest, he, too, hated the practice.That’s rightHe hated prioritizing people based on wealth or background, likewise believing that no human being should be treated better than the other, especially when the said human beings were even in their rights.But a rule was a rule no matter what—and unless he was tired o
