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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 267 – The Confirmation
*****For what felt like an eternity, Lucius remained motionless, his eyes dazedly fixed on the subject line as though it might change if he willed it hard enough.His hands trembled slightly, his knuckles white from how tightly he gripped the document.The words kept replaying in his mind, crashing over and over like waves against the fragile walls of his understanding.However, the text remained unchanged, and seeing this, realizing that the words weren’t his imagination, Lucius’s soul shook, and then;‘No. That couldn’t be right!’He shook his head frantically, trying to dispel the thought‘I must be the one reading it wrong!’ he told himself, clinging to denial.Then with a new-found determination, he refocused on the same line, his eyes scanning the text again, and again, and again.Unfortunately for him, however, no matter how many times he looked, the words refused to change.Each repetition only made the less-than-fifteen-word subject feel heavier, and more complex,
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 268 – The Bombshell
*****The room remained suspended in stunned silence at this moment, almost everyone paralyzed by the representative's calm yet world-shattering declaration.This is most especially Lucius, who had hoped with everything in him that the subject of the letter had been nothing but a mistake.Presently, he appeared like someone who had just watched his entire world collapse around him.His breath hitched, his chest heaving as panic clawed at him from the inside, cold sweat pouring down his face.He felt as though he was going to slump, all strength leaving his body, and he had instinctively gripped the edge of the table with trembling hands to steady himself.Lucius’s mind was a chaotic void, looping endlessly around the same thought: ‘This can’t be happening! It can’t be real!’And yet, no matter how fervently and desperately he wished for the spoken and written words to be a mistake, they remained as they were—unyielding, immutable truth.Seeing him like this, the representative
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 269 – Xavier’s Message Recipient
*****Right now, Xavier, who had intentionally left the limelight a moment ago, leaned casually against the wall, his eyes darting around the room, taking in the thunderstruck faces of everyone present.The disbelief, unspoken horror, shock, face smacked, and hollow gazes—it was a scene he had envisioned a moment ago, particularly after the betrayals Grace had suffered. But even then, he hadn’t imagined it would play out this perfectly and to this extent.He continued staring for what felt like a long time before finally;“Wow,” he thought to himself, shaking his head slightly to clear his mind.Despite having orchestrated much of this outcome, the complete transfer of Project Echelon to Grace had also completely caught even him off guard.For a fleeting moment, he hesitated, unsure whether to laugh or cry at this exaggerated outcome.But then suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and in the next second, his lips curved into a faint, satisfied smile.“This is for the best.”T
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 270 – Xavier’s Influence
*****That morning, Xavier awoke with a singular focus: fulfilling the promise he had made to Grace.Ordinarily, achieving this would have been an easy task for someone of his caliber, but his lack of preparation and the looming urgency had complicated matters.For a moment that morning, Xavier had even considered leveraging his connections from outside Riverton City—contacts he had intentionally avoided using since his release or even revealing his true identity.But just as frustration began to creep in, he remembered something he hadn’t paid any attention to from the beginning, thinking he wouldn’t need it.It was the parting gifts from his disciples on the day he left prison. Not everything, but the gift from the country’s president himself.The prime minister’s personal contact.Although all the tokens he had gotten that day had seemed unnecessary, a gesture of respect rather than utility, Xavier had thought he’d never needed this particular one, given that his original in
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 271 – The Harrison Patriarch’s Fear
*****“Father…”As soon as the prime minister departed, the middle-aged man, who had stood respectfully like a bodyguard from the very beginning—the president of the Harrison Conglomerate and the patriarch’s second son—finally mustered the courage to speak.His tone was tense, and his expression was filled with unease, unhappiness, and question as he glanced helplessly at his father who was still beaming foolishly."Do you have any idea the level of chaos this rash decision we’ve taken today would soon cause?" he asked, his voice filled with exasperation.In the following second, the patriarch froze mid-chuckle, his grin fading."What...?" he stammered, staring at his son as if he had just committed a grave offense. "What did you just say?"“I…”The middle-aged man hesitated, briefly doubting himself under his father’s intense gaze, but he quickly steadied himself and heaved a deep, long-drawn sigh."Father, have you perhaps forgotten that Projects Echelon serves another purp

Chapter 347 – The Discord Ending
*****Hearing the sound of the slap that had just echoed through the ward like a gunshot, everyone froze, their breaths caught in their throats… especially Elliot, whose face burned where Tife’s hand had struck him.For a moment, nobody moved. Nobody spoke. Instead, they all just stared, stunned to the core, trying to process what had just happened.Then, Tife’s voice broke the silence.“You… you thought I preferred this life over the one I had with you?” she asked, but this time, her voice was no longer venomous, instead, it was trembling with unbearable rage and disbelief.Her eyes burned with fury, her chest rising and falling with the weight of her emotions.“Is that why you let me be taken away?” she demanded, her gaze cutting into Elliot like a blade.“I…” Elliot flinched from these questions and stared, guilt flickering across his face — fleeting, but Tife caught it.In the next second, her lip curled in disgust, a bitter chuckle spilling from her throat.“I knew it,”
Chapter 346 – Tife’s Reaction
*****Tife finally looked in Elliot’s direction for the first time since her entry after feeling his devastated state.This was her first love — the man she had fallen for even when he had nothing.Even when he doesn’t have any ambition.This was the man she had dedicated her youth to and the very man she had given everything for.The man who had betrayed her.The man who had let her be taken away.This very man, whom she would have willingly sacrificed her life for hadn't even dared to stand up for her when the cruel landlord came. Instead, he had collapsed under fear, too terrified to resist and stand against the oppressor.Now, seeing him again after such a long time… desperately apologizing and repeatedly bowing his head to the ground, Tife stood frozen.She couldn’t blink, couldn’t move. Her body was so tense, her chest rising and falling under the weight of her emotions.Hatred.Pure, seething hatred coursed through her veins.At a mere glance, she could tell that El
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
