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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 239 - Lucius’s Scheme Revealed
*****Everyone had assumed that Xavier would be trembling with fear, shaken to his very core after the near-close-to-death encounter he just had.But contrary to their expectation, he just stood there, calm and collected, an amused smirk playing on his lips.Not only did he remain unfazed as though everything had been in his control from the beginning, but he even had the audacity to chuckle, a sound that sent a ripple of disbelief and astonishment through the room.Mouths opened in shock, but before anyone could think of a reaction;“I saw what you did there,” Xavier broke the silence in the room, his tone light and almost playful, completely defying every expectation.“You’re trying to gaslight me, aren’t you? You want me to second-guess my instincts, right?” he continued, his words biting yet casual. Then, with this, he leaned lazily against the wall, his nonchalance a stark contrast to the tension that had seized the room.“What is he talking…” One of the representatives mu
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 240 - Mason’s Options To Grace
*****Mason’s eyes burned with newfound intensity after his father’s sharp words sliced through his earlier confusion and then very slowly, realization dawned like a storm clearing the skies, leaving him feeling both invigorated and embarrassed.Ultimately;‘Ah Mason!’ he scolded himself inwardly, almost smacking himself on the face as he recalled his recent thought. ‘you’re still the naive fool who can’t distinguish friend from foe.’With this, he snapped to his senses, and without hesitation, his gaze fell on Xavier, cold and calculating.“You know,” Mason began suddenly, his voice ringing out like a whip crack and jolting everyone in the room. “You’ve been spouting nothing but pure nonsense since you walked in here.”“Huh?” Everyone immediately gasped, their brows furrowing in bewilderment.Because Mason’s conversation with his father had been conducted in near silence, no one in the room knew what had happened, so, hearing the sudden words from Mason, who should have been b

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
