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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 256 – Lucius’s Plan
*****The conference room was completely frozen in time at this moment, making it seem as though the world itself had come to a standstill.Everyone remained standing in a daze, their expressions vacant as if their souls had momentarily left their bodies, the silence in the room so deafening—an oppressive, almost tangible force that seemed to stretch endlessly.This continued for what felt like forever before finally, a voice sliced through it like a knife.“What do we do now, Father? The trouble has met us here despite all our efforts.” Mason’s shaky words echoed through the room, snapping everyone out of their stupor.And with that, the floodgates opened.“Why did I let this stupid family waste so much of my time?”“What will happen to me now?”“I didn’t even say goodbye to my family this morning!”“Why did I volunteer to represent my company when the smarter ones had evaded it?”“Boohoo, I haven’t even prepared my will!!”“Who will take care of my family now!”The repre
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 257 – Lucius’s & Grace’s Opposite Teams
*****Right now, on one side of the conference hall stood Lucius, leading his entourage, Mason, Nico, and the representatives, a formidable group that filled the space to the brim.On the other side, however, the scene was starkly different. It was almost empty.Dorothy, whose eyes were currently empty stood stiffly beside Xavier, who leaned casually against the wall, his expression calm and even playful.In a corner, remained the old patriarch’s seated frame, his figure hunched, appearing as though the weight of decades had suddenly aged him further.Lastly, near the doorway, Grace and the receptionist stood frozen in place, both still staring in shock at the unfolding events.For a moment that seemed to stretch into eternity, no one moved.The scanty side of the hall was paralyzed, disbelief painted on their faces as they looked at the jubilating crowd standing opposite them.Eventually, however;“I…”The receptionist swallowed hard, her eyes darting nervously to Grace, th
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 258 – A Misunderstanding 1
*****Without any introduction, everyone in the conference room instantly recognized the identity of the two powerful figures at the door.In the next moment, the atmosphere grew oppressively heavy as the men’s piercing glares radiated pure venom and rage, seeping into every corner of the room.The room subconsciously froze, everyone’s breathing catching in their throats.Their hearts also began to thud frantically in their chests, echoing like war drums in the suffocating silence.Everyone in the conference hall had expected the Harrison Conglomerate’s representatives to be angry after being kept waiting and ignored—an indignity they had likely never faced before. However, this level of fury? It far exceeded their worst anticipation.It was as though they had murdered the other parties’ loved ones.….Time seemed to drag on endlessly as those in the room were paralyzed with anxiety.The two men at the door also remained motionless like statues, their unchanging expressions
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 259 – Misunderstanding 2
*****Still in the conference hall.Although Lucius’s tone was calm and he appeared as though he wasn’t affected by the suffocating tension in the room, the slight quiver in his voice and wildly racing heart was enough to show his concealed fear.As soon as he was done speaking, all eyes turned to him, but failing to recognize his true state of mind, the group behind him became slightly relieved, some of them subconsciously wiping the beads of sweat that had oozed out of their foreheads.Then holding their breath, they silently began to pray that he would be able to diffuse the volatile situation. and help save their a$$e$.….Back to Lucius.Still unknown to everyone, he was scared.That’s right… incredibly terrified, almost even more than everyone else in the room.He almost immediately recoiled as he stepped forward, feeling the icy, detached gazes of the two men and recalling the terrifying power of first-rank families and their true nature. Yet, he steeled himself, his m

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

*****“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
