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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 246 - A Plot Twist
*****A heavy silence enveloped the room following Grace’s words, everyone staring dazedly at her.Just then, though;“She’s lying, Grandfather!” Mason snapped, drawing all eyes to him.“She’s definitely lying,” he added through gritted teeth. “How could a hegemon like the Harrison Conglomerate visit without notifying us beforehand?” he demanded, his voice rising.The room’s occupants instantly exchanged glances at this, finding logic in Mason’s words. Then their gazes returned to Grace, suspicion creeping into their expressions.“This…” Grace was momentarily taken aback but quickly composed herself, her expressionless gaze focusing on Mason.“Would I not have prepared to welcome them if I knew they were coming?” she asked, her tone even.Her question hung in the air, directly silencing the murmurs that had begun to rise among the representative.‘That’s true,’ the thought crossed their minds, the doubt in their eyes wavering, astonishment and confusion creeping in.Everyone
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 247 - The Scapegoat
*****For what felt like an eternity, the conference hall was filled to the brim with the desperate pleas of the partnership companies’ representatives, begging Mason to cancel their agreements with The Sky Group.Their voices carried panic and anxiousness, making it seem as though Sky Group had suddenly turned into a contagion thing no one wanted to be associated with.The abrupt change left everyone else utterly dumbstruck, unable to process the sudden shift in the representatives for what felt like forever. But then—‘This…’ Mason’s fists clenched as rage flared in his eyes, his gaze darting toward the representatives, his disgust for them growing extremely unbearable.“Haven’t I already agreed to cancel the agreements between my company and you bunch’s companies?” he snapped, his voice spiteful and dripping with venom. “Do you still need to buzz around me like a swarm of headless flies?”The venom in his words instantly silenced the room, and the group of representatives sta

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
