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uncertainty.All eyes instantly focused back on Grace, and to their astonishment, the lifeless dullness in her gaze had been replaced by a flicker of light—hope as she stared at Xavier, her expression shifting as if clinging to his words like a lifeline.Even Xavier appeared startled by this, not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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 248 – Xavier Creating A Trap
*****‘This…’Grace stared in disbelief, her eyes fixated on the transfer deed in her uncle’s hand, unable to react for what felt like an eternity.This document in her uncle’s hand was originally created to wrest control of her company from her and hand it to her cousin, Mason. Yet now that unprecedented trouble shows up, the same document she had almost signed was being used to shove all responsibility for the approaching storm onto her shoulders, wanting to make her the scapegoat, the sacrificial lamb for the wrath of a first-rank family.A whole first-rank family!Appearing like a body whose soul had already departed, leaving behind an empty shell, her gaze slowly shifted to her grandfather, searching for even a glimmer of intervention, but his expression remained stoic, detached.His silence was as loud as an outright declaration of approving of Nico’s actions of wanting to make her the cannon folder.Although Grace wasn’t shocked by this, her chest couldn’t help but tight
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 249 – An Unknown Motive
*****“This…” The room went still for a moment after everyone witnessed Mason’s sudden crazed action, then slowly, all eyes turned to Xavier, who stood watching with an infuriatingly calm expression, one corner of his lips curling upward, and just then;“But…” his voice broke the silence, sending a fresh wave of tension rippling through the room. ‘This…’ Mason’s stomach churned, and his back was subconsciously drenched with sweat. ‘What now?!’ he screamed internally, his nerves fraying, then he focused his gaze on Xavier, whose gaze was currently on him.Following this;“You’ve torn one document,” Xavier continued, his tone almost playful but filled with an unexpected seriousness, staring intently at Mason. “but how can we be sure there isn’t another somewhere else? Something that proves you’re still the president?”‘This…’Everyone froze for a moment but then gasps rippled through the room, and the representatives slowly realized what had happened.They had been wondering wh
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 250 – Willingly Walking Into A Trap
*****Though no one knew what Xavier stood to gain from what he was trying to do, Nico, Lucius, Grace, and several others in the hall saw through his ploy.They understood he was setting a trap for Mason—a calculated move to ensure Mason would deny Sky Group presidency, and no matter what the future held, he would never be able to reclaim it again.On the other end of their gazes, however, Xavier remained calm.He had never intended or attempted to hide his intentions from the start, and his calm demeanor made it clear he didn’t care who noticed.So, when Nico’s furious outburst and accusation landed, and the old man’s glare bore down on him, his smirk only widened while his eyes remained fixated on Mason.Completely ignoring Nico and the old man’s vicious and venomous glare, his mouth opened, and then;"As you already know," he continued once the disruption had died down, his tone calm and unhurried, "the future of this company is already sealed. With a scary power such as a f
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 251 – Mason’s Ignorance
*****Without uttering a sound, Mason’s pen currently scratched furiously across the face of the paper, the faint sound of his hurried writing filling the otherwise silent conference hall.Beads of sweat continued rolling down his forehead, staining the pages with his desperation.Witnessing this, the patriarch of the Sky family, Mason’s grandfather couldn’t help but hesitate, his intuition becoming stronger, then;“Grandson,” he called out, his voice hesitant but firm, his gaze fixing on Mason.Although he had no idea what Xavier was planning, he could already tell it was nothing good. After all, why would Xavier want to help Mason—especially with something like this?With this thought, the old man took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Mason, who wavered for a fleeting moment before lifting his head to meet his eyes.Hesitation flickered in the old man’s expression for a second, but then;“I think you shouldn’t be in such haste,” he urged, his voice low and measured, as thoug

Chapter 443 – High Fashion Sales Representative’s Conflicting Thought
*****At that exact moment, inside the pristine and silent interior of the High Fashion boutique, the sales associate… Amelia stood frozen in mild disbelief, her gaze currently locked on the four individuals who had just stepped through the glass doors.For a heartbeat, she genuinely believed her senses were deceiving her.The familiar chime of the doorbell had rung just a second ago, an event so rare it might as well have been mythical.In the entire stretch of weeks—perhaps months—she’d manned this boutique, the only times the entrance had opened were when she arrived for her shift, or during scheduled inspections from upper management.When the chime sounded just now, her heart had jolted in her chest, and her head had instinctively lifted, her eyes widening in hopeful anticipation. The stagnant air of the boutique had carried a different energy this time—one that made her pulse race ever so slightly.She had been employed here for close to half a year now, and in all that ti
Chapter 442 – High Fashion Boutique
*****“Huh? Don’t tell me my eyes are deceiving me!”Inside the Dior boutique that Xavier and his family had just exited, a loud exclamation shattered the buzzing atmosphere. One of the sales reps stood frozen, her expression twisted in shock and disbelief.Her colleagues instantly turned toward her with a frown, clearly annoyed. “What’s the matter with you?” One of them inquired.“This…” The sales rep pointed toward the glass windows, her finger trembling slightly.“Aren’t those the poor paupers from a moment ago? Don’t tell me they’re actually trying to enter that boutique.”The moment her voice echoed through the store, all heads swiveled sharply toward the boutique’s glass doors. Like magnets, every gaze snapped toward the opposite side of the corridor—toward Xavier and his family.They were currently walking into the High Fashion boutique.Gasps erupted one after the other in the next second.“They’re trying to enter High Fashion? What do they think they’re doing in ther
Chapter 441 – Revenge Process
*****Sarah wasn’t just suggesting they leave. She was pleading. Her voice carried quiet desperation, a maternal instinct to protect her son from further escalation—even at the cost of her pride.It was the kind of voice that forced Xavier to pause. That kind of plea couldn’t be ignored.His chest rose and fell with labored breaths. Every fiber of his being screamed to retaliate, to put every single person in their place. But he swallowed it—barely.Instead, he took a deep breath, locking away the storm inside.His gaze turned frigid as he scanned every face in the room—memorizing them, engraving their expressions into his memory. He would not forget this. Not a single face would escape the reckoning.He turned around.“Let’s go,” he said quietly.And they moved.But the crowd wasn’t finished. Their parting words were even more venomous than before.“Idiots. Delusional morons who don’t know their place.”“Coming here to steal glances, probably to steal garments too.”“They
Chapter 440 – Receiving Showers of Spiteful, Venomous, and Vicious Insults
*****“Did someone call for cleaners?” she asked, her tone dry.The attendant’s colleagues looked equally puzzled. “Cleaners? I didn’t call anyone.”“Did any of you request maintenance or janitorial support?” she asked aloud to the others.A series of headshakes followed.Realizing this, the woman turned toward Xavier’s group, an irritated look of disgust forming on her face.“You heard them, didn’t you?” she said, her tone dipped in sarcasm. “No one called for help. I don’t know which shop summoned you, but clearly, you’ve lost your way.”Her words cut through the air, sharp and dismissive.The moment Xavier heard her, his expression darkened.He didn’t say anything right away, but the glint in his eyes dimmed, replaced by a quiet storm.Sarah and David, on the other hand, immediately felt the heat of embarrassment crawl up their skin. Sarah looked as if she wanted to disappear while David clenched his fists silently.Meanwhile, the innocent Little Lola looked confused, he
Chapter 439 – Did Anybody Called For Cleaners?
*****At present, inside an extravagant compound brimming with a vast array of elite vehicles—sleek sports cars, luxurious sedans, and custom-built SUVs, four modestly dressed individuals stood somewhat out of place, quietly observing their opulent surroundings.The entire space was bustling with stylishly adorned people, many exuding an aura of refined affluence, their outfits screaming wealth and taste.Amid this upscale paradise stood four very out-of-place figures.One, a young man with striking composure and a calm aura, looked unbothered as if the dazzling show of wealth and grandeur around him had no power to stir his heart.He stood with an air of composed indifference, his posture relaxed yet confident.Beside this handsome, refined young man in faded, casual attire, stood an older couple, who looked visibly unsettled.Despite their plain, worn clothing, it wasn’t their faded attire or lean physiques that made them stand out. It was the sheer discomfort etched into the
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
