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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 272 – Lucius’s Accusation and Mason’s Heartless Suggestion
*****Although several minutes had already elapsed since the two representatives revealed the major reason for their visit, the conference room remained frozen in an eerie stillness. Every person remained motionless, their gazes vacant, like soulless puppets.It was obvious that none of them had experienced such a profound shock in their lives before.This lasted for several more minutes that felt like hours before finally;"Nonsense!"A thunderous roar forcefully spat, shattering the silence in the room, and snapping everyone back to reality, their hearts suddenly pounding.All eyes directly turned toward the source of the outburst—Lucius.His teeth were clenched so tightly that they seemed ready to shatter right now, his fiery glare locked on the two representatives."Nonsense!" he repeated, his voice dripping with venom and fury as he glared at them as if they were the very embodiment of his wrath.On the other hand, the two representatives exchanged a brief glance before
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO 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

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
Chapter 440 – Receiving Showers of Spiteful, Venomous, and Vicious Insults
*****“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
