Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 277 – Ganging Up Against Lucius
*****For a heartbeat after seeing where Grace’s finger was pointed, the room was frozen, everyone seemingly caught in a suffocating stillness.It did not even look as if the representatives had heard Grace’s disappointing response to them,Their blank stares remained fixed on Lucius, as if in a trance, processing Grace's final words.Meanwhile, Lucius remained frozen, his thoughts spinning wildly. Grace's unexpected gesture—pointing at him and directing the representatives to meet with him—had left him completely paralyzed with shock.This silence, however, didn’t last for long when suddenly;“You’re the real culprit here!” A venomous voice cut through the oppressive quiet, its force akin to a whip cracking in the air.Everyone instantly turned toward the speaker, startled. And very surprisingly, it belonged to Nico.“This.”A wave of shock swept through the room at the sight before them, while Grace's face froze slightly, her disbelief matching everyone else's.Nico, who h
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 278 – Lucius’s Furious Exit
*****Grace had never anticipated a conclusion like this.Not even once, why? Because Lucious wasn’t someone anybody in the room dared to offend.Without knowing what to think, she continued gawking at the room like a fool, her mouth remaining agape for what felt like an eternity.It was as though a heavenly force had suddenly sown discord, havoc, and animosity amid her adversaries, all of them clashing with one another in front of her instead of targeting her.This continued like for what seemed an endless stretch of time before suddenly;“You all!”Lucius, the most shocked in the room finally snapped back to reality and snarled, pointing an hysterically trembling finger at Mason, his father, and the group of delegates.In the next moment, the group of delegates, the former receptionist, Nico, his father, and Dorothy’s hearts trembled, a menacing aura abruptly radiating from Lucius, instilling fear in them.Although Lucius wasn’t that formidable, just even an E-ranked fighte
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 279 – Honey Finally Awakens
*****The representatives stared at Grace in despair, their faces etched with terror after hearing her words.They could tell she wasn’t bluffing, and this… it made several of them struggle to breathe, as though their very lives were slipping away right away before their eyes.How were they supposed to report this back to their companies?What report were they supposed to give when they had been strictly instructed before leaving their respective organizations to only apply pressure on Grace and the Sky Group?They had been repeatedly cautioned not to make the termination of the partnership possible. Instead, they were only told to continue pressing Grace until she eventually caved to Lucius’s demands, and this way, they’d achieve two goals at once: completing Lucius’s goal while still maintaining their partnership with Sky Group. But now…They had recklessly taken matters into their own hands, doing exactly what they had been repeatedly warned against.…The representatives’
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 280 - Lucius Rage
*****A sleek, luxurious car sat silently in the parking lot, its elegant design and calm exterior betraying the storm raging within.Inside, the atmosphere was anything but serene right now.The air felt extremely thick, as though an invisible weight was pressing down on everyone within right now.Each breath was labored, the tension so suffocating that it seemed to consume the very oxygen in the space.The pressure was so tense that it materialized into frost that clung to the windshields, making it look as if winter had suddenly descended inside the vehicle.Four people occupied the car—two in the front and two in the back.Yet, three of them dared not make a sound, feeling the charged, almost electric sensation filling the air and pricking at their skin like tiny needles.The poor old driver’s face was a mask of anxiousness, fear, and confusion, his thoughts swirling with unanswered questions.Beside the driver, the bodyguard’s eyes burned with fury and killing intent, hi
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 281 - Honey’s Disbelief
***** Honey had just awakened from her faint after having a deep, peaceful sleep, and the first person her eyes encountered was the aloof and frostily detached Grace. So, without pausing to consider what she might have missed and how long she had been unconscious, her fury reignited. Before her eyes opened, he had thought Grace’s marriage would have already been finalized and she would have moved to start her new life of hell and torture, yet… she still dared to be in the same room with her, with that frosty and aloof demeanor she hated the most. On the other hand, the room, hearing Honey’s spiteful question continued staring at her in stunned silence, all of them having entirely forgotten her presence until now. What even took them several times greatly aback was Honey’s first behavior upon returning to his senses, and several people wondered if she was just acting or hadn’t really realized the new change of power and authority. …. The expressions on every face at
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 282 – Honey’s Incredulity
*****At first, Honey and Grace had assumed Xavier was merely trying to create division between Honey, her father, and her brother. Honey had even prepared to retaliate, while Grace had decided to stay out of it.However, seeing the current expression on Nico and Mason’s faces, they had no idea of what to think, until finally;“Brother… Father… is it true?” Honey asked cautiously, her voice shaking as her question snapped the father-son duo out of their stupor.For a moment, Mason and Nico exchanged uneasy glances. Then Nico, recovering his composure, quickly shook his head.“Don’t listen to his nonsense,” he said, though his tone lacked conviction—enough to fool even the most gullible.Had Nico denied the ‘accusation’ immediately after Xavier’s remark, Honey might have believed him. But the delayed response, coupled with his obvious discomfort, left her bewildered.She stared at the two for a moment, disbelief heavily etched into her features.“You… the two of you actually re
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 283 – The Receptionist’s Regret
*****Still in the conference room, the tension was palpable.Honey remained frozen, staring blankly as if her spirit had been completely drained. But she wasn’t the only one in shock. Grace, Dorothy, and the receptionist too, were taken aback.The three women knew how deeply Nico and Mason despised Grace, yet their current sycophantic expressions were unrecognizably genuine. It was hard to reconcile this with the duo who had betrayed Grace so effortlessly just moments ago.Grace nearly faltered under their sudden shift in demeanor, but she composed herself and said, “Uncle, cousin, I’ll take my leave now. I have work to do.”Her words instantly made Nico and Mason visibly stiffen, both of them nearly losing their composure.‘This wretched b!tch!’ they both fumed inwardly, their forced smiles barely holding.After a brief pause, however, Nico nodded her head rapidly, looking like a chicken pecking at corn.“Of course, niece. Please go ahead. We’ll continue here,” he said, atte
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 284 – Lucius’s Report
*****“Father!”Lucius abruptly burst out of his car without waiting for it to come to a complete stop, acting as though the world were crumbling around him, his frantic yell echoing through the estate.Bolting toward the mansion, he ignored the Scoan servants, who instinctively averted their eyes, knowing well that this version of Lucius—unrestrained and desperate—was the most terrifying to offend.Without acknowledging anyone, Lucius stormed through the grand halls, slamming open the doors as he made his way to his father’s bedroom.Finally, he entered, and just then;“Who dares?!”A deep, enraged voice erupted from within the room Lucius had just invaded.In the following second, the patriarch of the Scoan family and Lucius’s father, Augustus Scoan, a man in his early sixties sprang upright from his bed, yanking a duvet to cover his nakedness.“Father!”Lucius, ignoring the man’s fury called out again, finally stopping before him.As soon as Augustus saw him, though, his

Chapter 419 – The Experience With The Dispatched Guards
*****About five minutes or so ago.Xavier did not leave immediately after stepping out of the bank. Instead, he stood quietly just outside the glass doors, his back straight, his expression as calm as still water.He wasn’t a petty person who actively sought conflict, but if provoked, he would not retreat. No—he couldn’t.Not with how he had been treated today.He had to make Brenda pay and make her partners in crime realize that not everyone should be looked down upon.Because he knew—deep in his bones that if he let this go, the memory would fester like a splinter lodged beneath his skin, tormenting him each time he remembered the utter contempt, the humiliation, the outright rejection that had been thrown at him without mercy today.Even when he had just been sentenced to prison—stripped of all dignity—he had never been treated with such disgust.He clenched his fists, a storm of fury and ice churning within his chest.He stood there, silently waiting. Waiting for the ine
Chapter 418 – Gregory’s Terror
*****“I… I think I might know who the card belongs to.”A voice broke the silence, soft and uncertain, but it was enough to slice through the tension like a blade.All heads turned instantly toward the source.It was the customer who had been standing at the front of the queue behind Xavier earlier—the customer directly in front of Brenda’s counter.Now, under the scrutiny of dozens of eyes, the man’s face turned pale as snow. Sweat trickled from his temples.If the ground could have opened up and swallowed him whole, he would have welcomed it.He hadn’t even meant to speak. The words had slipped out unintentionally, as though his subconscious had betrayed him.“You… you know the owner of this?” Gregory asked, carefully raising the obsidian-colored card again, his eyes wide with a strange mix of hope and dread.The customer opened his mouth, hesitating. His lips trembled.“I…” he began, swallowing hard.He genuinely considered denying it. Pretending he had made a mistake.
Chapter 417 – I Think I Might Know Who The Card Belongs To
*****“Where is the owner of this card?”The voice wasn’t loud, but it immediately struck the crowd like a thunderclap.It was chilling. Piercing. Unmistakably authoritative.Everyone stopped talking instantly, and then their heads turned in unison toward the speaker.The moment they identified the source—Gregory—they felt another wave of fear rise up their spines.‘So, he had released the cold… with nothing but his aura.’Even more terrifying? The question he asked was directed at someone specific.Brenda.The card had fallen in front of her counter.And now, Gregory’s frostbitten gaze was locked directly on her.She froze, her breath hitched, and her knees nearly buckled.She didn’t even dare blink.Brenda’s heart began to thunder wildly in her chest, each beat crashing like a drum against her ribcage.A suffocating pressure bore down on her, accompanied by a chilling aura, unlike anything she had ever experienced in her entire life.One second…Two seconds…Three s
Chapter 416 – Where Is The Owner of This Card?
Chapter 416 – Where Is The Owner of This Card? ***** ‘What is that thing?’ Numerous individuals pondered internally, their eyes fixated on the glossy black card lying motionless on the floor. Its surface shimmered faintly under the fluorescent lighting. It was clearly made of a rare material, unlike anything they had known. It bore a resemblance to a bank card, perhaps an advanced type of ATM card, but instinctively, everyone knew this wasn’t any ordinary financial instrument. The entire hall remained silent, as though collectively holding its breath. Each person watched Gregory’s reaction with heightened anticipation, wondering just what made this card so distinct to give him such a reaction. The tension lingered for what seemed like an unending stretch of time until finally... “Uncle… is that something important?” Julius finally asked, his curiosity pushed past its limit. His voice instantly shattered the stillness that had settled in within the bank like a
Chapter 415 – Whose Card Is That?!
*****Gregory’s eyes immediately locked onto the bewildered young man standing before him. “Could it be… are you affiliated with the Cromwell family here in Riverton?”‘What...?’A heavy hush blanketed the entire lobby like a woolen shroud.Every individual present—staff and customer alike—fixated on Gregory, their expressions frozen in astonishment.Even Julius found himself momentarily speechless.“You… you actually recognize my family?” he asked, visibly taken aback.Under ordinary circumstances, such a question might seem excessive. But in a metropolis like Riverton—where third-tier families numbered in the hundreds—it was understandable.Moreover, the heads of major branches like this one of Titan Financial Institution, especially the headquarters Branch, were often individuals hailing from second—or third-tier families themselves.Gregory didn’t immediately reply. Instead, his sharp gaze scanned Julius from head to toe. Then, just as abruptly, a faint yet familiar smile
Chapter 414 – Twisting The Event
*****The interior of the bank was deathly silent at this moment.Not a whisper, not a shuffle—only stunned expressions and the echoing tension in the air.Every gaze was fixed squarely on Gregory Langston, the prestigious branch manager of Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch.‘Offend a VVIP customer?’Whether they were employees in uniform or customers in line, furrowed brows rippled throughout the room like synchronized waves.“Why would we possibly offend a VVIP customer of all customers?”“Moreover, apart from VIP customers, we haven’t even received any customer worth being a VVIP in years, have we?”Confusion spread like wildfire amongst the various employees.Dozens of silent voices echoed within the minds of the bank employees, each one scrambling through recent memories, desperately attempting to recall if they'd slighted any important figures.But—nothing. No recollection. No one of significance had been turned away, mistreated, or even mildly inconven
Chapter 413 – Which Of You Dares To Offend The VVIP Customer?!
*****“H-He’s doomed,” a nearby customer muttered quietly, his voice barely more than a whisper, but his words echoed what everyone else was thinking.The others nodded their heads in agreement.Several people couldn’t help but pity Xavier.“I even suggested he back down... but he had to act so recklessly, despite clearly having nothing to rely on!”“Aish. I get that he wanted to stand his ground, but doesn’t he understand how life works? Some people... some people like them, you simply don’t go against them. Or you’ll end up regretting it for life.”“What a shame...”They sighed collectively, shaking their heads as they imagined the fate that awaited Xavier once the guards caught up with him and handed him over to Julius.Their thoughts naturally turned to Julius again, and they glanced in his direction—only to freeze.The fury and coldness that had distorted his face earlier could no longer be seen.Now, Julius wore the same expression he had when he first walked into the
Chapter 412 – Going For Xavier
*****“Did he seriously just walk out like that after making such a bold threat?”A customer, wide-eyed and visibly bewildered, voiced what many were thinking.They glanced around at one another, confusion mirrored in every pair of eyes. It didn’t take more than a few moments for the realization to dawn on them—Xavier had simply been bluffing.“Ugh! And to think I was beginning to believe he might actually have something or someone backing him up.”“How could he leave so shamelessly, after all that?”“This is infuriating... Honestly, I’m both mad and embarrassed for ever thinking he had something hidden up his sleeve.”A ripple of murmurs surged through the hall of Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch, as customers voiced their dismay, disbelief, and conflicting emotions.Confusion, irritation, and even a trace of disappointment colored their expressions.Meanwhile, a more intense silence lingered around Brenda and Julius at this moment.The moment had struck th
Chapter 411 – Find The Powerhouse and Seek Forgiveness
*****“You inherited one of the most successful banks in all of Riverton City,” the caller continued, his voice laced with venom, not giving Gregory the chance to respond. “Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch. A top performer with sky-high ROI. And what did you do with it? You turned it into a graveyard for profit in less than three years.”“I…” Gregory’s lips parted again, but his voice faltered into nothing.The voice on the phone did not allow him time to defend himself.“And on top of that, somehow—somehow—you still managed to offend an entity so powerful that they could dismantle our entire financial institution with a single phone call. Tell me, Gregory, how does a man like you pull that off? You’ve just made history.”The words were heavily coated with thick sarcasm, but Gregory barely registered them.His brain had once again short-circuited.‘My branch… provoked someone capable of collapsing the entire bank? How? When? Where?’‘Just how in the good world
