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 282 - Honey’s Disbelief
*****Honey had just awakened from her faint after having a deep, peaceful sleep, and the first person her eyes encountered was the aloof and frostily detached Grace.So, without pausing to consider what she might have missed and how long she had been unconscious, her fury reignited.Before her eyes opened, he had thought Grace’s marriage would have already been finalized and she would have moved to start her new life of hell and torture, yet… she still dared to be in the same room with her, with that frosty and aloof demeanor she hated the most.On the other hand, the room, hearing Honey’s spiteful question continued staring at her in stunned silence, all of them having entirely forgotten her presence until now.What even took them several times greatly aback was Honey’s first behavior upon returning to his senses, and several people wondered if she was just acting or hadn’t really realized the new change of power and authority.….The expressions on every face at this moment
Chapter 280 - Lucius Rage
*****A sleek, luxurious car sat silently in the parking lot, its elegant design and calm exterior betraying the storm raging within.Inside, the atmosphere was anything but serene right now.The air felt extremely thick, as though an invisible weight was pressing down on everyone within right now.Each breath was labored, the tension so suffocating that it seemed to consume the very oxygen in the space.The pressure was so tense that it materialized into frost that clung to the windshields, making it look as if winter had suddenly descended inside the vehicle.Four people occupied the car—two in the front and two in the back.Yet, three of them dared not make a sound, feeling the charged, almost electric sensation filling the air and pricking at their skin like tiny needles.The poor old driver’s face was a mask of anxiousness, fear, and confusion, his thoughts swirling with unanswered questions.Beside the driver, the bodyguard’s eyes burned with fury and killing intent, hi
Chapter 279 – Honey Finally Awakens
*****The representatives stared at Grace in despair, their faces etched with terror after hearing her words.They could tell she wasn’t bluffing, and this… it made several of them struggle to breathe, as though their very lives were slipping away right away before their eyes.How were they supposed to report this back to their companies?What report were they supposed to give when they had been strictly instructed before leaving their respective organizations to only apply pressure on Grace and the Sky Group?They had been repeatedly cautioned not to make the termination of the partnership possible. Instead, they were only told to continue pressing Grace until she eventually caved to Lucius’s demands, and this way, they’d achieve two goals at once: completing Lucius’s goal while still maintaining their partnership with Sky Group. But now…They had recklessly taken matters into their own hands, doing exactly what they had been repeatedly warned against.…The representatives’
Chapter 278 – Lucius’s Furious Exit
*****Grace had never anticipated a conclusion like this.Not even once, why? Because Lucious wasn’t someone anybody in the room dared to offend.Without knowing what to think, she continued gawking at the room like a fool, her mouth remaining agape for what felt like an eternity.It was as though a heavenly force had suddenly sown discord, havoc, and animosity amid her adversaries, all of them clashing with one another in front of her instead of targeting her.This continued like for what seemed an endless stretch of time before suddenly;“You all!”Lucius, the most shocked in the room finally snapped back to reality and snarled, pointing an hysterically trembling finger at Mason, his father, and the group of delegates.In the next moment, the group of delegates, the former receptionist, Nico, his father, and Dorothy’s hearts trembled, a menacing aura abruptly radiating from Lucius, instilling fear in them.Although Lucius wasn’t that formidable, just even an E-ranked fighte
Chapter 277 – Ganging Up Against Lucius
*****For a heartbeat after seeing where Grace’s finger was pointed, the room was frozen, everyone seemingly caught in a suffocating stillness.It did not even look as if the representatives had heard Grace’s disappointing response to them,Their blank stares remained fixed on Lucius, as if in a trance, processing Grace's final words.Meanwhile, Lucius remained frozen, his thoughts spinning wildly. Grace's unexpected gesture—pointing at him and directing the representatives to meet with him—had left him completely paralyzed with shock.This silence, however, didn’t last for long when suddenly;“You’re the real culprit here!” A venomous voice cut through the oppressive quiet, its force akin to a whip cracking in the air.Everyone instantly turned toward the speaker, startled. And very surprisingly, it belonged to Nico.“This.”A wave of shock swept through the room at the sight before them, while Grace's face froze slightly, her disbelief matching everyone else's.Nico, who h
Chapter 276 – Grace’s Vengeance Heart
*****Grace’s initial reason for accompanying the Harrison representatives in the first place had been simple: a courtesy and a gesture of professionalism.But there was another motive, an unspoken and deeply personal one—a quiet hope to glean even if it’s the smallest hint about the reasoning behind the Harrison Conglomerate’s baffling decision to favor Sky Group out of the hundreds of more qualified companies out there Yet, her efforts yielded nothing.Instead, the representatives stood firm in their original statements, insisting without hesitation that it was because only her company deserved it, offering no further explanation beyond that.However, what Grace couldn’t ignore was their demeanor. The instant they stepped out of the room, the two representatives began to treat her with an almost reverential respect, one that felt entirely out of place given Sky Group’s standing relative to the monolithic Harrison Conglomerate.At first, she thought it might have been a tric
Chapter 275 - The Room’s Regret
*****Initially, everyone had thought they knew how the Harrison representative's visit would end.But this... not even Grace or Dorothy, despite their efforts of optimism had seen it coming.They had all assumed the Sky Group’s doom was sealed. That by the time the representatives departed, Grace would have been in ruin—her empire dismantled, her future destroyed beyond repair. And yet… Everything was contrary.A long moment of deafening, suffocating silence continued enveloping the conference room after Grace and the representatives vanished.The air was thick with disbelief, its oppressive pressure nearly tangible, weighing heavily on everyone.Every eye was wide, breaths were held, and the entire room was frozen in suffocating silence.None of them—least of all Lucius and his accomplices—couldn’t accept everything that had unfolded.Hadn’t they betrayed Sky Group in their desperation to align with the Harrisons?Hadn’t they dissolved every contract, severed every tie, and
Chapter 274 – The Two Representatives Depart
*****“This…”Gasps rippled across the room, every person staring in stunned disbelief.Lucius Blackwood—the embodiment of arrogance and wickedness. The untouchable tyrant, who had always acted as though he was above the entire world—was currently… groveling on the floor.This realization hit everyone hard dumbfounding them to the core.However, before the shock barely had time to settle, the loud sound of gulp echoed within the room, breaking through the tense atmosphere and drawing all eyes.It was Mason, and right now, he stood frozen, trembling as though trapped within an icy prison.The representatives also turned their gazes on him, their cold amusement laced with disdain.“You too,” one of them said, pointing directly at Mason. “Without verifying the truth, you made such a cruel suggestion, even daring to call me a stupid actor.”The words were a hammer blow, shattering whatever composure Mason had left.In the next second;“This… this is the devil’s work, sir!” he b
Chapter 273 – Lucius’s Apprehension
*****‘This…’The room became deathly silent momentarily, Mason’s words echoing in the air before finally, all eyes shifted to the patriarch whose expression was still unreadable.Even the two representatives were taken aback by Mason’s suggestion, unable to believe their ears.‘Apprehend us?’ Their minds repeated, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.Ever since joining Harrison’s Conglomerate, this is the first time in their lives to hear such disregard.They stared in a trance, while Nico.Having no idea about the part his son was headed, he only hesitated for a brief second before ultimately leaning closer to his father, his voice low but firm."Father… now isn’t the time to hesitate," he urged, his eyes bright.Instantly, the old man’s gaze turned icy, locking onto Grace.Initially, although he hadn’t entertained the possibility that the two representatives were impostors. Instead, his mind had been in complete blankness, struggling to process the sheer magnitude of the
