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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 244 – Xavier’s Satisfaction
*****“Huh?” Everyone was dumbstruck upon hearing Xavier, then the room froze in disbelief.‘What is he talking about?’ they wondered in unison, but before they could think much;“Have you forgotten my promise?” Xavier continued, his tone unwavering. “You can always stop working with these so-called partners who don’t see your worth.”“This…”The representatives, Dorothy, and Mason gasped, then following this, silence enveloped the room, thick and stifling.‘Promise?’ Confusion flickered across every face, the word sparking curiosity.Just at that moment;“Why… why does it look like her eyes have regained hope, could it be me?” someone murmured with uncertainty.All eyes instantly focused back on Grace, and to their astonishment, the lifeless dullness in her gaze had been replaced by a flicker of light—hope as she stared at Xavier, her expression shifting as if clinging to his words like a lifeline.Even Xavier appeared startled by this, not realizing that Grace had misinter
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 245 - Lucius’s Fear
*****For what felt like an eternity following the young woman’s words, no one in the conference room moved.Grace, the representatives, Mason, his father, Lucius, and their entourages all stood frozen, their faces etched with disbelief as they continued gaping at the young receptionist who had burst into the room.The only exception, the person who remained calm was Xavier, his sharp, playful eyes scanning the room with an unhidden smirk on his face.This continued until finally;“Could you… perhaps have made a mistake?” Lucius stammered, his usual composure crumbling for the first time in public.However, no one noticed this since they were currently equally as stunned as him.Instead, their gaze on the receptionist became so intent that the young lady couldn’t help but flinch, her confidence wavering, then;“I… I didn’t make any mistake, Young Master Lucius,” she said, her voice trembling. “The people here are indeed representatives of the Harrison Conglomerate,” she explai

Chapter 460 – I’ll Act As Your Servant
*****The receipt machine had long since fallen silent, and now the entire room followed suit.‘That’s true,’ everyone thought in unison.If Dior hadn’t turned Xavier and his family away if they had simply treated them with basic respect, that fifty million dollars would have been their sale.The realization hit like a truck and in the next instant, pity welled up among the spectators—not for Xavier, not for Amelia, but for Dior’s boutique because it was their loss.How could they be so blind?But the person almost feeling the most pain?Undoubtedly, it was Miss Lin, the supervisor of Dior’s boutique.Up until now, she had been frozen, stuck somewhere between shame and horror.But now, now that the full implications had sunk in—her face turned ghostly pale.Her mouth opened and closed wordlessly as she stared at Roxie—the very person responsible for this catastrophe."You… you…" she stammered, raising a trembling hand to point at the woman. "What have you… what have you don
Chapter 459 – Shock In The Air II
*****Having been forced to fend for herself since she was old enough to walk, Little Lola knew all too well the value of money.Fifty million dollars, however, was a number too vast for her young mind to grasp.Yet none of that mattered.She didn’t need to understand the math to revel in the moment.She had witnessed how these so-called "adults" had sneered at her uncle, spat venom at her adopted grandparents, and treated them like dirt beneath their feet.Now?Now she was grinning from ear to ear, her little chest puffed up with pride, her cheeks practically glowing as she soaked in the stunned faces around her.Justice tasted sweet, even if she couldn’t calculate the exact price tag.And finally—Miss Aria Wynn, High Fashion’s supervisor.To be fair, although Miss Aria Wynn had remained composed throughout the drama, her elegant posture unwavering, that didn’t mean she was immune to doubt.Even she—sharp, astute, and battle-hardened in the world of luxury fashion had ne
Chapter 458 – Shock In The Air
*****‘Payment successful?’The simple, mechanical phrase echoed like a thunderclap in everyone’s mind, reverberating again and again.Absolute disbelief filled the store.No one! Not a single soul in the room—not even Xavier’s parents had thought the payment would ever succeed.That amount of money… it wasn’t something ordinary people even dreamed of seeing in a bank account. And even if, by some miracle, they had it, who in their right mind would drop it all on clothing?It was the kind of wealth that could elevate a struggling family into the ranks of the upper class overnight.Yet, here it was—casually spent on nothing tangible, but… clothing.The silence that gripped the boutique was deafening.No one blinked.No one breathed.No one even dared to think.The only sound was that of the receipt printer, whirring tirelessly as it spat out a long, seemingly endless ribbon of proof.Proof that none of them could deny.The receipt unspooled like a slow-motion declaration
Chapter 457 – Payment Successful
*****“Mister,” Miss Aria Wynn’s gentle yet commanding voice interrupted. “Are you still interested in completing the transaction?”The question, so casually spoken, instantly landed like a thunderclap in every ear.Everyone, no matter who fell silent again, and then they turned to the poised supervisor, wondering what her intentions were.Ultimately, someone whispered, “She’s… probably just trying to confirm the manager’s theory.”“Huh”The murmur spread, reaching every ear, and enlightenment sparked.The employees of Dior, especially those who had long coveted Amelia’s enviable position, brightened with anticipation.Roxie in particular lit up like a Christmas tree.She had long been watching Amelia from the sidelines, green with envy.While her own role was capped at the level of boutique manager, Amelia, who barely even worked, lived in luxury.Her paycheck? It was five times her own, and yet she never even lifted a finger, never pitched in, and never hustled.It was a
Chapter 456 – Roxie Speculation II
*****All attention veered to Roxie, whose words had taken on an almost theatrical flair.Miss Aria raised a brow, unimpressed but curious. “Please, elaborate.”Roxie’s face lit up like she had just been invited to audition for a lead role.Then, with pride swelling in her chest, she jabbed a finger toward Amelia.“If my thought is correct… which most definitely is, she must’ve noticed how our boutique kicked out this bunch of beggars. So, she’s trying to fabricate an extravagant sale to protect her job.”“Hmmm…” all brows rose, and Roxie continued.“She hasn’t made a single sale since she joined your company. Think about it. If she stages this fake purchase, even if the transaction fails, it’ll look like she’s indispensable, since the price of this purchase is something none had ever achieved before.”Roxie smirked, her voice brimming with smugness.“When the higher-ups at High Fashion see a failed transaction notification for fifty million dollars, they’ll most likely assum
Chapter 455 – Roxie Speculation
*****An overwhelming silence enveloped the boutique at this moment, thick enough to strangle breath.No one could utter a word after hearing Xavier’s old declaration.Not the customers from Dior who had eagerly waited to see the destitute Xavier and his parents humiliated.Not the staff of the Dior boutique who had ridiculed the family nonstop with brazen disdain.Not even Miss Lin, Dior’s supervisor, whose proud demeanor was suddenly frozen in time.Not the intrigued bystanders, whose whispers had faded into oblivion.Not even Miss Aria Wynn, the poised overseer of High Fashion, known for her unshakable composure, found her voice.And certainly not Amelia—who, despite never looking down on Xavier, had never once believed he could possibly command such astronomical wealth.Yet among them all, the ones most deeply rattled were none other than…Xavier’s parents.Barely a week ago, they had been scraping coins together, often skipping meals to survive the day.Yet now, their s
Chapter 454 – Here, Make The Payment
*****Roxie gave a detailed report, claiming that after she kicked Xavier and his parents out of her store, they went into the High Fashion boutique, tried on several dresses, and Amelia irresponsibly entertained them.She claimed she had gone to the High Fashion store out of goodwill, to warn Amelia about the kind of people Xavier’s family were, and yet, instead of being thanked, she and everyone who had gone out of goodwill were rudely insulted.Roxie twisted the truth with practiced ease, flipping the entire narrative in her favor. She painted Xavier and his family as swindlers, and Amelia, the sales attendant, as an enabler of criminal behavior.By the time she finished her story, many of those who had been present during the incident stared at her, dumbfounded.They knew the truth, and it was far from what Roxie had just reported.Yet, not a single one of them spoke up.Instead, after staring at her in a daze for a moment, they smiled brightly and supported her tale, eager
Chapter 453 – Roxie’s Report
*****Outside the luxurious boutique of High Fashion, the sidewalk was brimming with anticipation.A crowd of over fifty people gathered in a loose semi-circle, yelling and shifting, their expressions ranging from curiosity to outright impatience.Every passing second added fuel to their restlessness.Ultimately…“Hey you….” One sharply dressed woman snapped suddenly. “You said your supervisor and High Fashion’s supervisor were already nearby.” Her arms crossed tightly, and her lips furrowed into a scowl. “It’s been over ten minutes already. When exactly are they supposed to get here?”All eyes immediately turned to the person the woman was accusing—the Dior manager, who had unintentionally become the spokesperson for the growing crowd.The manager winced.The question had been direct, but the tone… the pointed, condescending tone—was what cut deep.The manager’s brows twitched in the next second, and her jaw clenched, but she forced herself to remain composed.She wanted to
Chapter 452 – Xavier’s Plan
*****“Apologies,” she said, her voice level, respectful, yet firm. “But I believe this is the High Fashion boutique—not Dior, and certainly not under anyone else’s jurisdiction. If you are not here to explore or make a purchase, I kindly ask that you leave.”Her words were like a pin dropped in a lion’s den, and silence fell. The kind of silence that pulses just before an eruption.Just at that moment—“You… you dare speak to me like that?!” someone growled. A woman in a glittering red dress, decked in gold and loud perfumes, stepped forward with fury in her eyes. “Do you even know who I am?!”That was all it took.The crowd exploded, and in the next second—“How dare she talk to us like that!”“Who does she think she is?!”“She’s just a lowly shop worker!”“Let’s see how smug she looks when she’s out on the streets!”They hurled curses, threats, and venom at Amelia. Some called her an idiot, others called her names. But through it all, Amelia stood tall, her smile never w
