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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 262 - An Amplified Misunderstanding 2
*****For what felt like an eternity, silence blanketed the room.The Harrison representatives' words continued hanging in the air like a death knell, leaving everyone stunned. Their minds raced, but they failed to process what they had just uttered.It was as though the room's collective spirit had been stripped away, leaving only vacant stares.Only three people remained composed: the two representatives themselves and then… Xavier.That’s right—Xavier.Unlike the others, he stood tall and steady, like a javelin planted firmly in the ground, a faint, amused smile playing on his lips as he watched the scene unfold.This was the moment he had been waiting for, ever since witnessing the betrayal that had unfolded in the hall prior to the Harrison representatives' arrival.After taking in the room’s shock for a moment, Xavier’s gaze finally shifted to Lucius, curious about his reaction.Just at that moment, Lucius jolted back to reality, his body rigid with panic and anxiousnes
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 263 – Grace’s Emotion To The Opportunity
*****No one in the room considered thinking that the so-called "opportunity" being offered to Grace could be anything favorable.Not Grace, not Dorothy, and most of all, not the other team. After all, who were these two men?They were representatives of the Harrison Conglomerate, one of the most powerful entities in Sky City.Companies and other families would sell their souls for even the slightest association with them. So, why would such a titan waste its time coming over to grant a small company like Sky Group a chance?After jubilating for a moment, realizing it wasn’t as they’d feared, speculations filled the hall.“Could it perhaps be that Harrison conglomerate had taken an interest after her company’s location?”“Maybe they want something in her possession?”“Or perhaps they’ve come to crush her outright...”The murmurs grew louder, spreading like wildfire.Almost everyone assumed that the "opportunity" was simply a polite way for the conglomerate to demand everythi
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 264 – A Funny Misinterpretation
*****For what felt like an eternity, the conference room remained silent.No one moved, instead, their gazes remained glued to Grace as she remained frozen in place, appearing like someone who had just received the biggest shock of her life.‘What could it be?’ they all wondered, their curiosity rose to the peak."Has she been ordered to evacuate her company as soon as possible?""Could the letter be demanding everything she owns in exchange for mercy?"Speculations swirled within the room like wildfire, each more dramatic than the last, until finally, after what felt like forever, a sharp, spiteful voice echoed, shattering the silence.“What do you mean how is it possible?” The voice demanded, startling everyone back to their senses.They all traced its source, only to realize it was directed to Lucius, his mocking smirk currently gleaming with self-satisfaction.The arrogance he exuded at this moment was palpable for all to see, his posture reeking of triumph.Ever since
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 265 – Lucius’s Threat
*****Amidst the murmurs of the representatives, Mason couldn't contain his anxiety any longer.His gaze flickered toward his father, Nico, his expression a mix of frustration and desperation.“Father! Are you not done watching? Are you going to watch until this godsend, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slips away?” he asked urgently, his voice tight with worry.“I…”Nico, startled by his son's words, blinked as though coming out of a trance.In the next moment, he understood what his son was talking about.Following this, his eyes flickered with conflict for a second, hesitation weighing heavily on him.“I…” Nico’s voice faltered as he searched for the right words, but after a long, tense silence, he clenched his teeth in annoyance and then;“Fine! I’ve made up my mind. I’ll agree to your suggestion!” He muttered, the words heavy with unwillingness.Upon hearing him, Mason froze for a moment, processing his father’s abrupt decision.A moment later, his expression brightened
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 266 – Full Transfer of Ownership and Management of Harrison Conglomerate’s Project Echelon to Sky Group
*****At first, no one reacted to Mason’s words, all of them seemingly not to have heard him.They continued with their murmurs and plans as though his declaration had been nothing more than a faint whisper that had been lost in the empty air.This went on, however, until suddenly, a heavy and suffocating silence descended upon the space.It was so sudden and unexpected, making it feel as though it wasn’t the same room as just now, its weight crushing, instantly pinning everyone in place.Following this, the room slowly turned its attention to Mason, their jaws dropping as if gravity itself had given up on holding them closed.‘Did I just imagine that? Or… he… he really said what I think I heard?’The thought echoed simultaneously in their minds, the shocking words Mason had just uttered replaying over and over like a bell’s chime.For what felt like an eternity, every corner of the room remained frozen, paralyzed under the weight of disbelief.The only ones unaffected were X

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
