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 345 - Elliot’s Emotional Outburst
********Xavier, “_”He didn’t need to ask anymore because it was already painfully obvious who this woman was.To confirm his speculation, he glanced at Elliot, and the moment he saw the one-armed man who was still frozen in place with a body drenched in cold sweat, Xavier sighed internally.‘I thought as much,’ he mulled.Understanding what was going on, Xavier first considered quietly leaving the room to give them privacy, but doing so felt like it would shatter the fragile moment.So, he stayed, watching quietly and doing his best to remain invisible.….On the other hand, by the time Tife’s sobs finally quieted, quite a lot of time had passed.With such a gentleness that no one would argue he was her biological father, the old man slowly helped Tife calm down.Seeing this, Selene cautiously approached, her eyes glistening.“Sister Tife,” she called out gently, her voice full of concern.“When… when did you come back?”Tife, carefully wiping her eyes gently looked at
Chapter 344 - The New Emotion In The Ward
*****At this moment, it was as though Elliot’s spirit, soul, and mind had completely shattered, leaving behind nothing but a hollow and lifeless shell of a man.How long has it been?One year? Two years?It felt like an eternity!And yet, currently standing before him, as if fate itself was trying to toy with him was none but… her.His wife.The very woman he had failed to protect.In an instant, the memories Elliot had worked so hard and done his best to bury came flooding back with cruel intensity.It began from their very first meeting and slowly moved to the way when she had given up everything to be with him… to their fleeting moments of happiness.And then… the day he lost her.The evil landlord, along with him, had destroyed everything. And now—just when he was trying to put her behind him, move forward, and find a way to become a better person—she appears.Several times prettier than he had remembered.……Meanwhile, while Elliot was completely lost in his daze,
Chapter 343 – Xavier’s Unexpected Offer
*****While Elliot’s mind spiraled in chaos, drowning in regret and pain, God’s Time could only stare at Xavier, tears pouring down his face like a broken dam.He had spent his entire life doing what he believed was right—helping others in the best way he knew how, without expecting anything in return.Yet, never — not even once in his wildest dreams had he imagined that great heart of kindness... of helping people with no expectation for return would one day be the very thing that saved his life.It helped him out in his direst, most hopeless, and weakest state.Gave him a second chance.A chance to live.And a chance to start over.Thinking this, God’s Time couldn’t help but clench his teeth tightly against each other, his chest heaving with the weight of his emotions. Then, sniffing hard, he nodded his head repeatedly, appearing as if he was sealing an unspoken vow.“Even… even if I have to do good until the day I die… even if kindness would end up taking my life,” he whis
Chapter 342 – Elliot’s Regret
*****By the time the husband and wife’s emotional outburst ultimately settled, several minutes had already passed.Realizing what she had done, Selene awkwardly let go of her husband and jumped to her feetThe ward fell into a heavy silence afterward, broken only by the occasional sniffle or shaky breath.Finally, however, God’s Time turned back to Xavier, his eyes swollen and red.He didn’t speak immediately.Instead, he stared, as if trying to reconcile the image of the boy he thought Xavier was with the man who had shattered his expectations beyond miles.The night they had met flashed through his mind like scenes from a fractured dream.He had assumed Xavier was also a lost soul — a wanderer like himself, someone who had fled his village in search of a greener pasture, not knowing that he would only be swallowed by the harshness of the city like himself and the others.He had even offered Xavier a place to stay in his crumbling home, thinking he was doing the boy a favor
Chapter 341 – What Did I Even Walk Into
*****Right now, the ward felt warm.Way too warm. The kind of warmth that didn’t come from sunlight or cozy conversations but from a tension so heavy it thickened the air.Xavier, the only one seated after being practically forced into a chair, felt this weight pressing down on him, so he sat awkwardly, his fingers lightly tapping against his knee, his sharp eyes flickering between Elliot and his father.The two men stood before him like sentries, bombarding him with an endless stream of gratitude.They thanked him for liberating their neighborhood.For shattering the chains of years-long oppression.For stepping into their chaos like an angel of vengeance and fighting a war that wasn’t his to fight.Their words tumbled over each other, their spits flying as they praised him relentlessly.Xavier, however, could only offer a faint, helpless smile in response.He was the one who had told them moments ago not to be tensed, but…He felt like he was suffocating, why?He wasn
Chapter 340 - Xavier’s Arrival
*****God’s Time remained frozen on his bed, his battered body stiffening as Selene’s trembling words settled like ice in his chest.Although he hadn’t heard what his wife had done, he could already guess what it meant, given that he knew his wife even more than the back of his hand.His heart began to thunder painfully against his ribs, the steady beeping of the heart monitor accelerating.“What… what do you mean?” he rasped, his voice brittle with anxiousness. “What… what did you do?”Selene, seeing what her words had caused clenched her fists, her entire body quivering.Tears began to slowly well up in her swollen, exhausted eyes, shimmering with regret so raw it seemed to swallow her whole.She wanted to take back her actions.To erase it.She wished she hadn’t done it, but…Some things just couldn’t be undone once done.Her lips parted, and in a voice brimming and fractured by guilt, she slowly and tremblingly recounted her actions — the betrayal she wished had never h
Chapter 339 - The Room’s Shock
*****Selene’s question hung in the air like a blade, sharp and unforgiving.Elliot and his father’s heads snapped toward God’s Time, their eyes wide with the same burning curiosity that had plagued them since the chaos had subsided.It wasn’t just a question. It was the question.How could God’s Time, a humble taxi driver with no background whatsoever, know someone like Xavier, and when?He did not just know Xavier—but had him storm through a warzone on his behalf, tearing through cops and the corrupt landlord like they were nothing.It made no sense.Given the sheer power Xavier had wielded—the terrifying strength, the Blackwood connections, the aura of someone who could crush entire lives with a glance—they couldn’t fathom why God’s Time had ever struggled despite knowing someone like that.Why hadn’t he used this connection this entire time?Why had he suffered in their neighborhood for so many years, scraping by under the weight of poverty and abuse?He could’ve lived i
Chapter 338 - God’s Time Disbelief
*****“Huff!”Xavier, in the back of the taxi, who presently had absolutely no idea that trouble was already closing in on him from all directions suddenly groaned, smacking himself on the forehead.“I have completely forgotten about the branch I planned to visit today,” he muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible.Just then;“Are you all right, sir?”The driver at the front, noticing Xavier’s sudden movement through the rearview mirror, abruptly asked with concern, snapping Xavier out of his thoughts.“I think so,” Xavier, after a moment of hesitation sighed, rubbing his temple.Hearing him, the driver gave a small nod and, deciding not to pry further, then he announced;“We’ve arrived at your destination.”“Huh?”Xavier blinked, completely taken aback for a moment before looking outside.He frowned in the next moment.“That was fast,” he murmured in a daze before shaking his head. ‘I must’ve been so lost in thought that I completely tuned out my surroundings,
Chapter 337 – Frosh’s Plan for Revenge
*****Meanwhile, back in the room Vidor had just vacated."Brother." A frail 17-year-old boy with ghostly pale skin suddenly stepped through the door beside the room.One of his arms was intact, while the other was missing, with bandages wrapped around the stump where it should have been, his garish outfit starkly contrasted with his delicate appearance.The instant the brawny, bald man, who had been utterly lost in his thought as he smoked his cigarette heard this voice, his head snapped up.In the following second, the ice-cold, murderous glint in his eyes thawed, replaced by something softer—concern, tenderness, and pure love.“Little bro, I told you to rest. What the hell are you doing here?” he demanded in a voice brimming with concerned anger, rushing over to help the frail young man into a chair.The boy’s crimson-rimmed eyes, swollen from silent and never-ending sobbing instantly locked onto his brother’s face.“I… I just can’t sleep, brother,” he murmured, voice quive
