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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 241 - The Room’s Disbelief
*****“What kind of options are these, for crying out loud?”“Since… since when did cutting off a head become the cure for a headache?”“Would he not be harming his own family more by selling off their main source of income?”“How could he even think of such a second option in the first place, let alone propose it?”“Is he trying to force his cousin’s hand here or ruin his own family?”The murmurs of the representatives filled the conference room at this moment, disbelief heavily etched into their faces, finding it extremely difficult to wrap their heads around Mason’s audacious declaration.In their shock, they forgot themselves entirely—forgot even the looming presence of Lucius, who was often a figure too fearsome to ignore.Well, even Lucius himself wasn’t faring much better than the representatives right now.That’s right.He sat frozen, his sharp eyes locked on Mason as if seeing him for the first time.His shock mirrored that of the room, having never expected Mason
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 242- The Two Cunning Choices
Chapter 242- The Two Cunning Choices*****‘He… he does not care?’‘How could he not care?’A whirlwind of disbelief churned away in Grace’s mind right now, trying everything she could to process her grandfather’s words.She hadn’t merely assumed the old man would care about his wife’s creation on a whim.No.Her belief that the old man would have chastised Mason for speaking about selling off the company had been rooted in the countless moments of love, care, and devotion she had witnessed him show his wife when she was alive—how he had always placed her needs above his own. And yet now...Grace remained seated motionless, her world crumbling very slowly before her. Everything she had thought immutable about her family’s legacy had been overturned in a single moment.Meanwhile, across the room, Mason and Nico also remained standing, their expressions betraying a mix of surprise and calculation.They had also shared Grace’s assumptions about the old man’s stance, and to be h
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 243 – A Pitiful Grace
*****Right now, Grace’s mind was a battlefield, both chaotic and relentless.That’s right.On one side was her life's work—Sky Group—an empire she had built with her blood, sweat, and countless sacrifices. The company wasn’t just a business; but her passion, her identity, and the only thing her late grandmother had entrusted to her. But standing in her way was Lucius, a man she loathed, someone who would undoubtedly turn her life into a nightmare if she married him.On the other side, however, was Xavier, the man she had married impulsively to escape Lucius—a man, who had somehow become tied to her as her first.Of course, the best choice for herself was already obvious: don’t marry Lucius. But this present situation, however, wasn’t just about her preferences alone.Apart from the company being the family’s major source of income, it was everything to her, the very essence of her purpose. So, could she risk it for her own happiness, talk more of a man?The answer was clear, a

Chapter 407 – I Hope You All Won’t Come To Regret This
*****“Perhaps you commoners have forgotten your place.” Julius’ voice dripped with scorn, his eyes flashing with unrestrained malice. “Perhaps we, the members of the ranked families, have become too lenient… too merciful. Maybe that’s why you insects have started to think you can defy the ranked families without consequence.”He unhurriedly straightened his posture, rolling his shoulders, and with a single movement, clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked like snapping bones.Then, a twisted smirk curled across his lips.“I haven’t had a proper warm-up in a while… Let me use you… as my punching bag.”He spat, his eyes flashing fiercely. However, just as he was about to launch a fist toward Xavier—“Young Master, please!”The anxious voice of the cashier, Brenda Hawthorne, pierced through the tension, causing Julius to halt.Upon looking at her, her previously composed demeanor had been replaced with urgency, her expression contorted into a mask of disdain and
Chapter 406 – Julius Cromwell’s Anger
*****Everyone stood frozen at this moment, their bodies stiffening as Xavier’s words reverberated through the vast, marble-floored space, sinking deep into their consciousness.For a few long, suffocating seconds, silence reigned in the bank. The occupants’ minds were still struggling to process the sheer weight of what he had just said.But before they could fully grasp it, before they could even draw a breath to react, Xavier’s voice sliced through the air once more.“You claimed that I want to challenge you. But tell me…” His gaze swept over the haughty, so-called young master with an unshakable coldness, his tone laced with contempt. “Who do you truly think you are that I’d waste even a sliver of my time on you?”His words detonated like an explosive, shattering the already brittle atmosphere. The onlookers felt as if an invisible force had struck them, rendering them momentarily disoriented.And yet, amidst the growing tension, Xavier remained eerily calm—his expression de
Chapter 405 – How Much Do You Think I Can Withdraw Using That Information From This Bank?
*****“You… you really are determined to cause trouble, aren’t you?” she snarled, her voice sharp enough to cut steel.Hearing her words, Xavier merely arched a brow at this, a trace of amusement flickering across his lips before he suppressed it.‘Me? Cause trouble?’The thought flitted across his mind, but he chose not to voice it. He simply let her words hang in the air, allowing them to fester in the thick, tension-choked silence.Brenda’s fury only escalated at this. Her entire body trembled, her jaw clenching so tightly it seemed moments away from snapping.How dare he?How dare this nobody demand that she, Brenda Hawthorne, walk over and personally pick up his card?How dare he threaten he would shut down this branch unless I was fired?Who does he think he is?The sheer audacity of it made her blood boil.But suppressing her rage, she turned sharply to Julius, her voice suddenly dripping with sickly sweet reverence.“Young Master Cromwell,” she addressed him smooth
Chapter 404 – You Are Really Determined To Cause Trouble, Aren’t You?
*****Every single person in the bank was struck speechless at this moment.Young master Julius Cromwell was frozen in place, his smirk wiped clean off his face.Brenda Hawthorne, the haughty cashier, gawked, her lips slightly parted as though words had failed her.Her colleagues, the waiting customers, and even the armed security guards—every last one of them—stood motionless, their gazes locked onto Xavier as if he were some mythical beast that had just emerged in their midst.With this, a suffocating tension wrapped around the entire bank like an iron chain. The air itself seemed to constrict, thick with disbelief.Moments ago, the place was filled with noise and chatter, but now? The silence was so absolute, so deafening, that it became more oppressive than the previous clamor.Seconds stretched unbearably long, each one dragging out the tension further.And then suddenly—“Interesting.”The word, uttered in an infuriatingly playful tone, shattered the silence like glass
Chapter 403 – Xavier’s Threat
*****"Although this is my first time meeting you," Julius, in flamboyant attire, spoke with an air of calculated leisure, his piercing gaze sweeping over Xavier from head to toe.The sheer repulsion in his eyes was unmistakable, as though he were looking at something filthy, something unworthy of existence."...And given your…” he drawled, clicking his lips, the disgust in his eyes evident. “…Extremely humble state, I doubt I'll ever have the misfortune of crossing paths with you again," he continued, his voice rich and pleasant to the ear, yet laced with unmistakable derision. "After all, I rarely find myself in the same space as... your kind."His tone, seemingly polite on the surface, was dripping with undisguised contempt.The implication of his words was crystal clear—Xavier was too poor, too insignificant to even exist in the same world as him.Of course, Xavier caught the meaning of his words instantly, yet his face remained impassive, betraying no reaction. His cold, un
Chapter 402 – Xavier’s Disbelief
*****"Ah!!! This is outrageous, and it badly infuriates me!”“You people are nothing but bullies!""How could such a place like this be this shamelessly biased?! We've been waiting for hours, and just because someone wealthy waltzes in, you chose to abandon us all to serve him without any iota of shame and remorse?!""Where is the fairness in this?!""I despise this bank with every fiber of my being!""I swear, I will make sure to spread the word of this disgraceful conduct to my friends, family, and every single person I have ever known! No one will ever trust this corrupt institution again!"Raging voices that overlapped each other continued reverberating throughout the bank, filling the air with sheer indignation.The furious customers standing in the endless queue behind Xavier glowered daggers at the cashier and the ostentatiously dressed man.Their collective fury was palpable—their faces flushed with rage and their eyes ablaze with hostility.Some had even clenched t
Chapter 401 – Bonus Chapter
*****[ A/N: To celebrate the major milestone of reaching chapter 400, here’s a bonus chapter! I wish I could upload more, but as I mentioned in earlier chapters, my schedule has been packed lately. So please bear with me on this one.Thanks again for your support!]—“Hey, boy! Where do you think you’re going?!”“You better not be thinking of cutting the line!”“The hell does this dude think he’s doing?”The room’s atmosphere tensed as multiple voices rose in indignation.Xavier, along with the others, instinctively turned toward the commotion.A man, likely in his early thirties, sauntered forward as though the world belonged to him. His designer-branded suit, a garish explosion of gold and navy blue, clung perfectly to his broad shoulders, and multiple diamond-studded rings glittered on his fingers.Despite the hostile murmurs from the queue, he strutted forward with an air of superiority, flashing a smug, self-satisfied grin.His sheer audacity made it evident that he w
Chapter 400 – The Overtly Arrogant Cashier
*****“Pardon?”Xavier couldn’t help but ask staring in a daze at Brenda, and just then, the lady finally lifted her gaze, her eyes unhurriedly dragging over Xavier from head to toe as if assessing his worth.Then, as if repulsed by what she saw, her lips slowly curled in open disdain.“Do I look like I’m playing here?” she sneered, her voice dripping with contempt.Xavier’s fingers flexed, his patience thinning at an alarming rate.Her voice sharpened further, loud and commanding, as though scolding an unruly dog.“You stand there and wait until I call you! You don’t just walk up like you own the place!”Her tone grated against Xavier’s nerves, and for a split second, his vision darkened.The bank had already tested him for hours. He had endured the horrendous service, the incompetence, the long wait, and the deafening complaints.But this?…….The moment the cashier, Brenda, snapped at Xavier, numerous heads turned in his direction, and immediately, some of Brenda’s colle
Chapter 399 – The Overcrowded Bank
*****It wasn’t long before they arrived at a bank, and as soon as Xavier stepped inside it, he was greeted by a sight that made his brows lift in mild surprise.The place was packed.Long, winding queues stretched across the entire hall, snaking their way to the very back, as though every single person in the city had chosen this exact morning to make a withdrawal.‘Wow.’His eyes swept over the seemingly endless lines of people, amusement flickering across his features.‘What in the world? Are they handing out free money today, or does everyone just happen to be in dire need of cash at the exact same time?’…….At this very moment, Xavier stood motionless, his gaze fixed on the seemingly endless lines stretching across the bank’s interior.A slight frown formed on his face as he scanned the room, his sharp eyes darting from one queue to another, searching—hoping—for the shortest one.Yet, to his dismay, they were all excruciatingly long.The countless air conditioning mac
