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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 260 - Misunderstanding 3
*****Nico stared blankly at his son after hearing him, the weight of his words not fully sinking in until eventually;“What are you talking about?” he asked, confusion and bewilderment clouding his tone.Mason, gathering his thoughts inhaled deeply, steadying himself before beginning.“Father, didn’t you see what just happened?” he inquired quietly, the voices around him not letting anyone else but his father hear him.“The Harrison family had just acknowledged Lucius and his family, and added to the fact that they already had the backing of another first-rank family, doesn’t that mean their future is limitless.” He continued, gesturing around himself, his voice gaining urgency.“Meanwhile, our family’s primary source of income—this company—has just somehow provoked the wrath of a first-rank family, and is on the verge of shutting down. Have you ever wondered how we are supposed to survive after today?”“This…”Nico froze, unable to react for a moment before finally, the impl
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 261 – An Amplified Misunderstanding, Then Shock
*****Surveying the room, Lucius instantly basked in the awe and trepidation reflected in the eyes of the others around him.Ultimately, his gaze found Grace, and then with a playful smirk;‘You didn’t expect that, did you?’ he asked with his gaze, his excitement turning into pure disdain.‘You must be regretting your decisions now, right?’ he also asked quietly, eager to see regret on Grace’s face. However, to his disappointment, her expression remained cold and unreadable as usual.It was as though, what just happened wasn’t something worth a thing.Lucius’s disdainful smirk instantly faltered, replaced by an icy glare, then…‘Let’s see how just how long you can keep up this façade’, he thought bitterly in his mind before turning back to the two higher-up representatives.“Two sirs,” Lucius began again, his tone slick with feigned respect, making the murmurs in the room instantly die down, everyone looking at him.“Sky Group has severely offended my family, and because of

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
