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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 294 – What If I Told You I Rely On Nothing But My Strength, Would You Believe Me?
*****Noticing Xavier’s silence, the bodyguard didn’t get angry. Instead, he smirked, interpreting the lack of response as confirmation of his assumption.“Heh…” The bodyguard chuckled, his tone dripping with disdain. “I thought you were clever, considering how you’ve been managing to block my master’s plans all this while and constantly opposing him. But it turns out you’re just plain stupid.”His gloating expression deepened.“You knew I have been tailing you, likely to kill you, yet you waited instead of escaping? How bold of you? Or… should I ask, how foolish of you?” he sneered, his laughter echoing down the alleyway.“Huh?”Xavier, hearing his words suddenly tilted his head slightly, his expression shifting into one of an abrupt shock.Then before the bodyguard could react:“You…” Xavier stammered, his eyes wide. “You mean you were tailing me with… malicious intent? To kill me?”The bodyguard, “_”‘Huh?’He suddenly froze, his smirk vanishing as though it had never be
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 295 – An Unexpected News for The Bodyguard
*****“You… you…” The bodyguard, stammering and struggling to rise to his wobbling legs suddenly stuttered.With this, his entire body trembled hysterically, gapping at Xavier with disbelief, his eyes wide open as if he had just witnessed the revelation of a supreme being.“You’re… you’re an E—E-rank fighter?” he finally managed to choke out.Hearing him, Xavier smiled faintly but didn’t respond right away.Then he waved his hand. In the next moment, the suffocating aura that had been pressing the bodyguard to the ground, threatening to shatter his bones, vanished as though it hadn’t been present to begin with.Feeling the abrupt disappearance of the suffocating aura, the bodyguard immediately collapsed, gasping for breath as though the weight of the world had just left his shoulder.“How… how is this possible? How could you be an E-rank fighter?” he began to murmur to himself like someone who had lost his senses, his voice trembling with terror.E-rank power. It was a level o
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 296 – Hunter’s World Crumbling
*****“How dare you? How dare you lie about my wife, you bitch! I should have killed you long ago!” Jace Hunter, Lucius’s bodyguard, roared, his voice trembling with unbearable rage.His eyes blazed with fury, and a suffocating wave of killing intent rolled off him—a level of menace he had not once directed at Xavier, showing that he really wanted to go on a killing spree right now.Standing calmly before him, Xavier couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, slightly intrigued.‘This guy…’ he mused. ‘He’s definitely walked through mountains of corpses to hone this kind of bloodlust. It’s too potent to come from anything else.’Thinking this, a sudden amusement flickered across Xavier’s face, the sharp tension in the air only deepening his interest.With this, he was no longer in a hurry to act.On the other hand, Hunter, completely unaware of Xavier’s thoughts was trembling all over, the fury in his posture making it seem as if he might explode at any moment. But the voice on the oth

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

*****“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
