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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 252 - Xavier’s Request
*****“So… can our partnership contracts be terminated now?” one of the representatives who had been hesitating since they confirmed the president finally asked, her voice breaking the tense silence in the room.The question jolted the remaining representatives back to their senses, and without a moment of pause, their murmurs of agreement rippled through the room.Before anyone could answer, however, Mason, who was now certain he was completely free from trouble instantly stepped forward, his face alight with an unsettling mix of excitement and malice.Then without hesitation;"Face her!" he declared smugly, pointing directly at Grace with a flourish. His eyes sparkled with satisfaction, and his smirk deepened.While Mason felt the sting of losing access to the resources he had always coveted, the thought of watching Grace and the company she had always treasured, even more than herself collapse in his absence brought him twisted joy.Done doing his part, diverting all attenti
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 253 – Grace’s Uncertainty
*****Despite her overwhelming reluctance, Grace forced herself to start signing each of the partnership termination contracts after making sure everything was as stated.Starting from the first person’s, she inscribed her name and signature onto the document, her movements deliberate and strained, as though every stroke was draining her strength.Seeing this, the conference hall became suffocating silent, the tension caused by her action wrapping around the representatives, who lined awkwardly before her.They had never imagined that Grace would actually really agree to terminate the agreement.Even before trouble arose, she had firmly opposed their intention to sever ties. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, she chose to do the unexpected.‘But… how did he achieve it?’ Some of them finally thought, their gazes moving toward Xavier, filled with complication.At the same time, Nico and Mason stood at the back, their faces twisted with cruel satisfaction, showing that they were e
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 254 – Become My Concubine
*****“I can’t seem to fathom how someone from the same family could harbor such venomous hatred,” seeing the undisguised look of hatred on Mason’s face, one of the representatives, staring at him couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, the words slipping out before he could even think of stopping himself. His voice instantly broke the tense silence in the room, and following this, a ripple of sighs followed.A few representatives exchanged glances, their gazes softening momentarily as they looked at Grace with what could only be described as fleeting pity.Yet, their minds were all focused on one singular thought: ‘I need to get out of this building fast before the storm arrives.’As soon as this thought appeared in their minds, some exhaled audibly, while others masked their unease behind indifferent expressions.The air grew heavier in the next instant, all of them shifting their focus back to Grace, their shared resolve silently communicated through their stares. Then, o
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 255 – Rejected
*****The shockwave of Lucius’s words reverberated through the conference room like a thunderclap, causing gasps of shock to erupt, all eyes widened in disbelief, and an unbearable tension seized every corner of the space.Grace’s body also stiffened, her fists clenched tightly beneath the table as her heart raced, humiliation scorching through her very vein like wildfire as she struggled to process what she had just heard.‘Become his concubine?’The word echoed in her mind, her disbelief almost paralyzing.Never had she imagined even once in her life that anyone would ever dare make such a degrading suggestion to her.And it wasn’t just her. Everyone in the room remained frozen, stunned into silence.Grace wasn’t just another woman; she was one of Riverton City’s most renowned business magnates—a goddess in the corporate world.Add to that was her beauty, which had long captured public admiration, and her position as a member of a second-rank family.Although she was just f

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
