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,
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 237 – How Dare You Sent This People To Pressure My Wife
*****‘What has he done now?’ Grace couldn’t help but think, anxiety clouding her usually composed demeanor as she cast a helpless look at Xavier.Although she understood very well that Xavier was only trying to seek justice on her behalf, she couldn’t shake the feeling that he had gone too far this time.While she had secretly enjoyed watching her cousin Honey being put in her place, she had never expected the situation to escalate to the point of her coughing out a jet of blood and even fainting.Despite her dislike for Honey, Grace firmly believed one thing: "Blood is thicker than water." No matter how strained her relationship with her family was, she would never wish harm upon them.This belief had also kept her from abandoning her responsibilities toward them. Regardless of what her grandfather, uncle, or cousins had done to her, she never stopped doing her part and never severed ties completely.With this thought, Grace couldn’t help but send a conflicted and unhappy gaze
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 238 - Lucius’s Response
*****‘What is he talking about?’This question flashed through everyone’s mind, except Lucius, his entourage, and the stunned representatives. Their expressions froze, momentarily rendered speechless, while confusion danced in the others’ furrowed brows.‘So, he really did know something,’ this thought eventually struck the representatives like a bolt of lightning, their gazes darting to Lucius, just in time to notice his eyes igniting with a volatile flame, locking onto Xavier with a look that promised retribution, his teeth slightly grinding against each other.The most dumbstruck of all was Grace and Mason, and right now, both of them remained in stunned disbelief, their faces pale as the realization sank in. They, too, turned toward Lucius, instinctively waiting for him to speak.Shocked beyond Grace, however, was Mason, who had been adamant about blaming Grace for the partner companies’ action, refusing to accept that she hadn’t colluded with them in sabotaging his shot at

Chapter 282 - Honey’s Disbelief
*****Honey had just awakened from her faint after having a deep, peaceful sleep, and the first person her eyes encountered was the aloof and frostily detached Grace.So, without pausing to consider what she might have missed and how long she had been unconscious, her fury reignited.Before her eyes opened, he had thought Grace’s marriage would have already been finalized and she would have moved to start her new life of hell and torture, yet… she still dared to be in the same room with her, with that frosty and aloof demeanor she hated the most.On the other hand, the room, hearing Honey’s spiteful question continued staring at her in stunned silence, all of them having entirely forgotten her presence until now.What even took them several times greatly aback was Honey’s first behavior upon returning to his senses, and several people wondered if she was just acting or hadn’t really realized the new change of power and authority.….The expressions on every face at this moment
Chapter 280 - Lucius Rage
*****A sleek, luxurious car sat silently in the parking lot, its elegant design and calm exterior betraying the storm raging within.Inside, the atmosphere was anything but serene right now.The air felt extremely thick, as though an invisible weight was pressing down on everyone within right now.Each breath was labored, the tension so suffocating that it seemed to consume the very oxygen in the space.The pressure was so tense that it materialized into frost that clung to the windshields, making it look as if winter had suddenly descended inside the vehicle.Four people occupied the car—two in the front and two in the back.Yet, three of them dared not make a sound, feeling the charged, almost electric sensation filling the air and pricking at their skin like tiny needles.The poor old driver’s face was a mask of anxiousness, fear, and confusion, his thoughts swirling with unanswered questions.Beside the driver, the bodyguard’s eyes burned with fury and killing intent, hi
Chapter 279 – Honey Finally Awakens
*****The representatives stared at Grace in despair, their faces etched with terror after hearing her words.They could tell she wasn’t bluffing, and this… it made several of them struggle to breathe, as though their very lives were slipping away right away before their eyes.How were they supposed to report this back to their companies?What report were they supposed to give when they had been strictly instructed before leaving their respective organizations to only apply pressure on Grace and the Sky Group?They had been repeatedly cautioned not to make the termination of the partnership possible. Instead, they were only told to continue pressing Grace until she eventually caved to Lucius’s demands, and this way, they’d achieve two goals at once: completing Lucius’s goal while still maintaining their partnership with Sky Group. But now…They had recklessly taken matters into their own hands, doing exactly what they had been repeatedly warned against.…The representatives’
Chapter 278 – Lucius’s Furious Exit
*****Grace had never anticipated a conclusion like this.Not even once, why? Because Lucious wasn’t someone anybody in the room dared to offend.Without knowing what to think, she continued gawking at the room like a fool, her mouth remaining agape for what felt like an eternity.It was as though a heavenly force had suddenly sown discord, havoc, and animosity amid her adversaries, all of them clashing with one another in front of her instead of targeting her.This continued like for what seemed an endless stretch of time before suddenly;“You all!”Lucius, the most shocked in the room finally snapped back to reality and snarled, pointing an hysterically trembling finger at Mason, his father, and the group of delegates.In the next moment, the group of delegates, the former receptionist, Nico, his father, and Dorothy’s hearts trembled, a menacing aura abruptly radiating from Lucius, instilling fear in them.Although Lucius wasn’t that formidable, just even an E-ranked fighte
Chapter 277 – Ganging Up Against Lucius
*****For a heartbeat after seeing where Grace’s finger was pointed, the room was frozen, everyone seemingly caught in a suffocating stillness.It did not even look as if the representatives had heard Grace’s disappointing response to them,Their blank stares remained fixed on Lucius, as if in a trance, processing Grace's final words.Meanwhile, Lucius remained frozen, his thoughts spinning wildly. Grace's unexpected gesture—pointing at him and directing the representatives to meet with him—had left him completely paralyzed with shock.This silence, however, didn’t last for long when suddenly;“You’re the real culprit here!” A venomous voice cut through the oppressive quiet, its force akin to a whip cracking in the air.Everyone instantly turned toward the speaker, startled. And very surprisingly, it belonged to Nico.“This.”A wave of shock swept through the room at the sight before them, while Grace's face froze slightly, her disbelief matching everyone else's.Nico, who h
Chapter 276 – Grace’s Vengeance Heart
*****Grace’s initial reason for accompanying the Harrison representatives in the first place had been simple: a courtesy and a gesture of professionalism.But there was another motive, an unspoken and deeply personal one—a quiet hope to glean even if it’s the smallest hint about the reasoning behind the Harrison Conglomerate’s baffling decision to favor Sky Group out of the hundreds of more qualified companies out there Yet, her efforts yielded nothing.Instead, the representatives stood firm in their original statements, insisting without hesitation that it was because only her company deserved it, offering no further explanation beyond that.However, what Grace couldn’t ignore was their demeanor. The instant they stepped out of the room, the two representatives began to treat her with an almost reverential respect, one that felt entirely out of place given Sky Group’s standing relative to the monolithic Harrison Conglomerate.At first, she thought it might have been a tric
Chapter 275 - The Room’s Regret
*****Initially, everyone had thought they knew how the Harrison representative's visit would end.But this... not even Grace or Dorothy, despite their efforts of optimism had seen it coming.They had all assumed the Sky Group’s doom was sealed. That by the time the representatives departed, Grace would have been in ruin—her empire dismantled, her future destroyed beyond repair. And yet… Everything was contrary.A long moment of deafening, suffocating silence continued enveloping the conference room after Grace and the representatives vanished.The air was thick with disbelief, its oppressive pressure nearly tangible, weighing heavily on everyone.Every eye was wide, breaths were held, and the entire room was frozen in suffocating silence.None of them—least of all Lucius and his accomplices—couldn’t accept everything that had unfolded.Hadn’t they betrayed Sky Group in their desperation to align with the Harrisons?Hadn’t they dissolved every contract, severed every tie, and
Chapter 274 – The Two Representatives Depart
*****“This…”Gasps rippled across the room, every person staring in stunned disbelief.Lucius Blackwood—the embodiment of arrogance and wickedness. The untouchable tyrant, who had always acted as though he was above the entire world—was currently… groveling on the floor.This realization hit everyone hard dumbfounding them to the core.However, before the shock barely had time to settle, the loud sound of gulp echoed within the room, breaking through the tense atmosphere and drawing all eyes.It was Mason, and right now, he stood frozen, trembling as though trapped within an icy prison.The representatives also turned their gazes on him, their cold amusement laced with disdain.“You too,” one of them said, pointing directly at Mason. “Without verifying the truth, you made such a cruel suggestion, even daring to call me a stupid actor.”The words were a hammer blow, shattering whatever composure Mason had left.In the next second;“This… this is the devil’s work, sir!” he b
Chapter 273 – Lucius’s Apprehension
*****‘This…’The room became deathly silent momentarily, Mason’s words echoing in the air before finally, all eyes shifted to the patriarch whose expression was still unreadable.Even the two representatives were taken aback by Mason’s suggestion, unable to believe their ears.‘Apprehend us?’ Their minds repeated, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.Ever since joining Harrison’s Conglomerate, this is the first time in their lives to hear such disregard.They stared in a trance, while Nico.Having no idea about the part his son was headed, he only hesitated for a brief second before ultimately leaning closer to his father, his voice low but firm."Father… now isn’t the time to hesitate," he urged, his eyes bright.Instantly, the old man’s gaze turned icy, locking onto Grace.Initially, although he hadn’t entertained the possibility that the two representatives were impostors. Instead, his mind had been in complete blankness, struggling to process the sheer magnitude of the
