Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 319 – The Ex-Partners' Decision
*****Inside the conference room of Crestline Insurance Group.“You… you… what have you done?”A middle-aged man in a sharp suit, who was always known to exude authority and confidence but now drenched in cold sweat, his face as pale as chalk, and his body trembling uncontrollably pointed his finger accusingly at another man, the company’s representative, who stood there looking like he had lost everything.The rest of the board members sat frozen in shock, their jaws slack, and their eyes wide with disbelief.Just some moments ago, they had been celebrating like the shareholders of Pinnacle Banking Corp, convinced that their company was on the brink of skyrocketing alongside Sky Group. But now… everything had crumbled.“How… how could you do this? Why?!” Crestline Insurance Group’s president roared desperately, his voice thick with rage and disbelief.“My instructions were crystal clear, to merely apply pressure on Sky Group, make them submit to Young Master Lucius’s demands.
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 320 – The Ex-Partners' Decision 2
*****Inside another conference room;“You will go with us and tell Sky Group that the decision to terminate the partnership was yours and yours alone. Is that clear?”A roguish man ordered, his voice low and threatening as he towered menacingly over a disheveled representative, whose face was currently swollen, bruised, and bloodied… clear evidence of a brutal beating that had left him barely conscious.“I… I…” The representative’s bloodshot eyes welled up with tears, but he sniffed hard, struggling to hold them back.His pride was completely gone, replaced by raw fear.“Y-yes, yes sir president” he stammered anxiously, his voice no louder than a whisper, terrified of what defiance might bring after the torture he’d already endured.….At another company;“Have you seen them?”A middle-aged woman who was dressed in immaculate business attire asked the question with cold indifference.Presently, her face showed not even the slightest hint of emotion as she stood over a trem
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 321 – Sarah’s Suggestion
*****“Why would you say that?”Sarah’s voice was impossibly soft as she looked at Little Lola, deep concern flickering in her eyes.The little girl, however, remained oblivious to any oddity in her words. Instead, she simply smiled brightly, innocently, and with utter contentment, her small face flushed with genuine happiness and relief.“Because… Little Lola feels that this might be the only best day of her life,” she answered honestly, her voice light as if she had just shared a simple fact.“This…”Sarah and David’s gazes locked across the table, and in that silent exchange, an unspoken understanding passed between them.Then, as though making up her mind, Sarah turned to Xavier.“Come here,” she said gently.Without waiting for his response, she stood and walked toward the living room and the utterly confused Xavier followed closely behind.“Is something the matter, Mother?” he asked carefully, watching as his mother furrowed her brows, deep in thought.For a moment, S
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 322 – Little Lola’s Fear
*****Xavier wanted to correct his mother, but seeing how deeply she was engrossed in her plan—and how joyful she was, a joy he couldn’t bring himself to dampen, he held back, shaking his head helplessly.On the other hand, Little Lola had turned into a statue.She sat there, unmoving, staring dazedly at Sarah as though she had just heard something too good to be true.Then, after what felt like an eternity, her tiny lips parted.“B-Big Aunty… wants Little Lola to stay here?” she whispered, her voice so small, so fragile, it nearly broke Sarah’s heart.“Yes.” Sarah nodded her head eagerly, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.Then, all of a sudden—“Big Aunty wants to make Little Lola a servant, right?”These words were spoken with heartbreaking certainty, hope, and excitement.Hearing it, Xavier, Sarah, and David all froze in complete shock.But before any of them could even react, Little Lola suddenly jumped down from her seat, dropping to her knees.Her small hands pr
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 323 – Mistress Ayra’s Fear
***** Xavier clenched his jaw, looking away. David let out a slow breath, rubbing his temples as if to ease the ache growing inside him. Sarah, on the other hand, could feel her heart breaking into pieces. ‘This child.’ ‘This tiny, precious child…’ ‘Had she truly believed that the only way to be loved… was to serve?’ A lump formed in Sarah’s throat and just then, David and Xavier glanced at her, waiting to see how she would respond. For a moment, Sarah felt helpless. Then, suddenly, an idea struck her. In the following second, as though it was the best-ever idea in the world, her eyes lit up. She looked at the little girl and, with a warm, teasing smile, said: “Well… since you’re too little to be my child…” The room grew so silent that even the sound of breathing felt loud. Xavier arched a brow and David frowned slightly in confusion. But before either of them could react, Sarah beamed and declared: “How about you be my grandchild instead?”
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 324 – Mistress Ayra’s Fear 2
***** Right now, Mistress Ayra stood motionless, the air around her feeling thick, suffocating, and almost unreal. Her graceful composure and aura of effortless leadership had completely shattered. For what felt like an eternity, she remained in place, unable to react, her mind looping over the name she had just heard. “Bloodfang Viper.” She muttered the name again under her breath, her voice barely a whisper as a dark memory resurfaced in her mind. This person was nothing but a madman. No! He was several times worse than a madman to the extent that even among the lunatics of the Bloodfang League, he was a being they feared and no one wished to have any relation with. A man who would complete his mission at any cost… no matter how steep and expensive. Even if it meant sacrificing himself. Even if it meant slaughtering the target’s entire bloodline. Even if it meant dragging the whole world into ruin. And even if the price of success required offering
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 325 – The Second Lion King’s Return
***** “Bloodfang Viper is one of the Bloodfang League’s most powerful assassins and one of their few top-tier, hidden assets.” Mistress Ayra muttered to herself and then tapped her fingers lightly against her arm, her mind rapidly trying to connect the pieces. “But since Bloodfang League has hundreds of lunatic assassins who could easily finish the mission, why did they send one of their absolute best?” Her brows furrowed deeper in contemplation and perplexity. “Why are they taking this target that seriously?” “… could it be that they had already done their research and realized something I haven't, that no lesser assassin could handle him?” Several thoughts popped into her mind and the more she thought about it, the more questions arose in her mind, and the more questions that arose, the greater her unease became. Before she knew it, a strong headache crept in. Ultimately, Mistress Ayra couldn't help but rub her temple before exhaling a sharp breath. “…The
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 326 – The Second Lion King’s Change
***** For a moment, time itself seemed to pause within the bar, everyone staring at the Second Lion King in a daze, then; “Who do we have here?” Mistress Ayra’s voice rang out, bright and playful as always. In the following second, the heavy and suffocating silence blanketing the bar was shattered like a piece of glass. The Second Lion King flinched slightly, as did the other customers, all of them breaking out of their trance. Immediately following this, awkwardness spread through the bar like a disease, no one knowing what to say. Everyone in the bar knew what had happened and had made it the only discussed topic within the bar. They had mocked it, calling the Second Lion King a eunuch who had lost everything and also cursing his deceased brother. They had gossiped about it right up until the moment he walked in, loudly laughing about it until the second Lion King entered and heard them. Recalling this, the customers felt their throats go dry, and sweat

Chapter 445 – The Changed Little Lola
*****David's gaze dropped to his hands—wrinkled, toughened by labor, marked by time. His eyes shimmered with unshed tears, glistening beneath the store’s ambient lighting.Finally, in a soft, hoarse voice, he spoke:“…Alright, son.”He cleared his throat, then stood a little straighter.“I’ll pick something for myself. Something decent.”Xavier didn’t say a word, but the small upward curve of his lips spoke volumes. It was a smile of pride, quiet victory, and deep affection.David turned to Amelia. “Could you show me where the men’s section is? Something for… older men?”Xavier immediately let out a long-suffering groan and rolled his eyes.“Father, come on. You’re not that old, you know? Just find something that would suit the younger you. You might even surprise yourself.”David snorted and gave his son a playful glare, but didn’t argue. Deep down, he felt just a little lighter, a little freer.Amelia, smiling now with renewed warmth, nodded eagerly and guided David towa
Chapter 445 – Changing David’s Train of Thought
*****“Father, why don’t you have a look around? Pick something you like—anything at all.”David furrowed his brows immediately and gave his son a long, sideways glance. “Do I strike you as the kind of man who goes window shopping?” he grumbled. “Besides, I’m not exactly young anymore. I’ve got enough clothes to last me until the end of my days. You focus on yourself, your mother, and the little one. I don’t need anything new.”His tone was firm… blunt even, leaving no room for argument.Xavier studied his father silently for a few seconds upon hearing him. He had expected that reaction, yet it still left him a little speechless.Ultimately, he sighed with mild exasperation. “Dad…”He paused, a gentle frown creasing his brow.“Back when I was little until I went away, even when you were working day and night just to make ends meet, you never once splurged on yourself. Every dime you earned, you poured into the family. I still remember you always arguing with Mother about how ‘a
Chapter 444 – The Emotional Little Lola
*****Xavier didn’t reply to the sales assistant immediately.Instead, he turned gradually, his eyes softening as they settled on Little Lola. At this very instant, the young girl’s expression was alight with wonder.Her sparkling eyes, wide with amazement, were fixed intently in a specific direction. The longing shimmering within them was unmistakable.It was a gaze so pure, so filled with innocent yearning, that anyone watching could instantly recognize it—she had discovered something that had utterly captivated her heart.Without a second thought, Xavier followed the trail of her gaze.His eyes landed squarely upon a delicately displayed princess-style gown hanging under a spotlight.The dress was exquisite, crafted with a meticulous blend of pastel colors, and adorned with intricate embroidery that resembled blooming spring flowers. The lace hem rippled like waves frozen in time, and floral patterns danced along the fabric, giving the gown an ethereal, fairytale-like charm.
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
