Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 286 – The Sky Patriarch’s Intention
*****Currently, within a moving vehicle, one that was occupied yet eerily quiet as if devoid of any soul, Mason’s family sat, each member’s brows deeply knitted.The tension in the car was stifling at this point, yet nobody noticed it.Instead, every person was utterly absorbed in their thoughts, their expressions heavily laced with grimness, sadness, incredulity, and resentment, which was utterly different in comparison with the smug confidence they had worn that morning.Over twenty minutes had already passed since they left Sky Group, yet no one had uttered even the faintest sound. It was as though they had just received profoundly shattering news from where they were coming.This oppressive silence stretched on endlessly like this for what felt like an eternity, or so it seemed, until finally:“What if she’s determined not to share this life-changing opportunity with our family?” a hoarse, uneasy voice suddenly rang out, shattering the suffocating silence like a shard of gl
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 287 – I Want Him Taken Care Of
*****For a long moment, Nico and Mason sat there, staring at the old man in stunned disbelief, their mouths agape in shock, unable to answer his question.Their expressions remained frozen, and even a hint of drool slipped from the corners of their mouths, unnoticed in their incredulous state.Honey, meanwhile, sat to the side, her thoughts in turmoil.‘What really happened back then when I was unconscious?’ she wondered desperately. How was my brother convinced to return the company to that witch? And why are they reacting like this to such a simple question?’‘This isn’t even the first time grandfather would be ordering that b!tch to hand over the company to my brother.’Her mind brimmed with questions, but she was ignored, as though she didn’t exist.Nico and Mason continued staring at the old man, their eyes filled with pure astonishment and disbelief, until finally;“You… You were going to… you were going to ask her to hand the company and the entire Projects Echelon to
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 288 – Lucius and Augustus’ Excitement
*****“Why didn’t you inform me before coming here?” Striding toward Lucius and his father was Borgia Ravencrest, the man Lucius had met alongside his father just a day ago when he rushed to report Jazzy’s demise.At this moment, Borgia’s expression was grim, his aura exuding an oppressive murderous intent that made Lucius and his father’s legs feel as though they had turned to jelly.Right now, the two men were standing before an enormous black gate, marking the entrance to Rivercrest Estate.Although they were members of an upper second-rank family—a family that could command the heavens and earth in the outside world.Here, however, they were powerless to the extent that it was an ordinary gatekeeper who had barred their entry, haughtily instructing them to either call the person they came to see or leave before they were forcibly made to disappear from the face of the world.Despite the fact that the gatekeeper was a mere mortal whom neither Lucius nor Augustus would typical
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 289 – The Anxious Father and Son Duo
*****Inside a grand, opulent hall, whose magnificence far surpassed anything Augustus and his son had ever seen in their lives, the two men stood with their heads bowed.Compared to their own estate, this place was like heaven to their hellish slum.Neither of them dared to breathe too loudly at this moment.The once proud members of a powerful upper second-rank family now resembled meek mortals standing before gods, and looking at them, one would think they were in the presence of a powerhouse.This, however, wasn’t the case. The hall was frighteningly silent, devoid of any other presence aside from the two of them.They remained frozen in place, looking like slaves awaiting their master’s command, their tension so palpable it seemed to weigh down the very air.The silence dragged on like this for what felt like a long time, each second stretching into eternity, until:“First brother, what is this news you’ve gathered all of us for? And even disturbing Father all over?”A s
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 290 - The Revercrests Second Son’s Suggestion
*****“Impossible!”Borgia’s third brother suddenly sprang to his feet, his voice reverberating through the hall with such force that Lucius stumbled back in fear.“Why would that old fool from the Harrison family do something like that?” he growled, his sharp gaze boring into Lucius like a predator ready to strike.The oppressive weight of his killing intent was so strong that Lucius couldn’t help but feel as though his very existence was about to be ripped apart.“I…” Lucius stammered, his back drenched in cold sweat.The glare wasn’t limited to Borgia’s third brother. Every single person in the room, save for Augustus and Borgia’s second brother, everyone else was now staring daggers at him—including Borgia himself.“So this is the ridiculous nonsense you dared to bring before us?” Borgia snarled, his tone menacing and dark.His words instantly emitted such a potent weight that Lucius’s knees threatened to buckle.“I… I swear to heaven,” Lucius blurted, his voice trembling
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 291 - The Revercrest Family Patriarch’s Command
*****All jaws instantly dropped as a stunned silence filled the room, everyone seemingly forgetting to breathe.The moment stretched on for what felt like an eternity until—“First brother,” a sharp, mocking voice broke the stillness, snapping Borgia out of his trance.It was his third brother, and although his tone was angry right now, his jeering smirk betrayed a sense of gloating amusement, his eyes gleaming with sly satisfaction.‘This is bad!’ Borgia instantly thought, panic surging within him. But before he could react—“Father personally ordered the brat’s image distributed yesterday so we could dig up his background and know the faction he represents,” the third brother said, his words cutting like knives. “But what did you do? You rushed back here and commanded everyone to stop the search, acting like you knew it all, claiming with certainty that he wasn’t the one who had killed Jazzy whom the family had spent countless resources grooming. What are we supposed to think
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 292 - The Revercrest Second Son’s Scheme
*****As soon as Lucius heard this old man’s order, he returned to his senses. In the next second, his heart plummeted.‘He wants…’ his blood went cold. ‘But my bodyguard must have already taken him down,’ he thought, anxiety gnawing at him.Before he knew it dread crept as he wondered what the old man would do to him once he found out he had already killed the person he was interested in.‘What do I do now?’ His thoughts raced, his body trembling.On the other hand, the patriarch, seemingly done with the man waved his hand and as he had appeared, he disappeared.“Prepare the car,” the old man ordered suddenly. “I’m going to the Harrison estate.”The moment the words left his mouth, Borgia and his third brother scrambled to their feet, practically racing each other out of the room in an obvious attempt to curry favor.The patriarch ignored them entirely. Apart from Augustus and the visibly distressed Lucius, no one else reacted.“Let’s go,” the patriarch commanded, descending
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 293 – I Thought You Were Searching For Me?
*****“Just a little more… just move into an empty alleyway,” Lucius’s bodyguard muttered desperately under his breath, his eyes unblinkingly locked on Xavier’s every move.When he first began to tail Xavier from Sky Group, his plan had been very simple: follow him until nightfall and when darkness could shroud his actions, he would act swiftly and execute his missions. But now, seeing Xavier turn into a quiet, deserted street, his mind shifted.This was a perfect-given god’s opportunity.To be honest, he would have already attacked long ago since Xavier ventured into the sparsely filled street. He was very confident Xavier wouldn’t be able to survive even a single strike from him. But haste wasn’t wise.If the murder was ultimately traced back to him or his young master, it could create future problems, particularly with Xavier’s wife’s current strength. Patience was critical.Keeping his steps as soundless as possible so that a non-ranked fighter wouldn’t be able to feel it no

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
Chapter 410 – Gregory’s Disbelief
*****"All of you are to vacate the premises immediately. A team has already been dispatched to seal the building. And if any of you are still inside when they arrive, they will have full authority to lock you in. Permanently."These words reverberated in Gregory Langston, the branch manager of Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch’s mindFollowing this:One heartbeat—dead silence.Two heartbeats—utter stillness.Three heartbeats—He stood utterly frozen in his office, his body rigid, and his eyes glazed over like those of a man who had just witnessed his world collapse.His limbs remained still in place, stiff as stone, and his pupils stared blankly ahead—soulless, vacant. It was as if the very essence had been ripped from him, leaving behind a mere husk in a suit.An oppressive stillness consumed the office like a thick fog, heavy and suffocating, yet Gregory remained completely unaware.His breath barely came out as his ears continued ringing with the echo of
Chapter 409 – Your Branch Is Officially Shut Down
*****Ring!A sudden, loud, shrill sound pierced the air in the office, jolting Gregory so violently that his soul nearly leaped out of his chest.His heart pounded frantically in his chest, and his eyes subconsciously darted toward his desk in the following second.It was his cell phone that was ringing."Who is so jobless enough to be calling me early this morning?" he muttered.He hesitated before glancing at the screen, but seeing as it was his private number, he immediately dismissed the call.If it wasn’t work-related, then it wasn’t a priority. Right now, his only concern was saving his damn branch.Yet…The phone rang again.And again.Each time louder, more persistent.Gregory’s eyebrows finally knitted together in frustration, but he still chose to ignore the nonstop ringing. He figured the caller would eventually give up once they realized he wasn’t going to pick up.But… he was completely far from right.The phone kept ringing.And ringing.Until suddenly…
