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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 285 – Xavier’s Depart From Sky Group
*****Outside the room, the secretary’s mocking and spiteful voice sliced through the tension like a blade.“To actually think your husband has a prostitute like you as a wife all this while,” she sneered, her words dripping with venom. “And he’s always judged me.”“I…”The naked woman trembled under the weight of the insult, wishing desperately for the ground to open up and swallow her whole. But before she could react;“Not just me,” the secretary continued, her mocking laughter cutting deeper. “He’s judged every single woman he met, calling you the perfect wife—the one who would never cheat, even if he disappeared for a decade or lost everything.”Each word struck like a hammer, leaving the woman pale and defenseless.The secretary seemed to revel in the torment. She had been doing this since the woman arrived, her cruel taunts showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.This continued until suddenly, the door before her was pulled open and Augustus stepped out, his face ste

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
