Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 359 – Jean’s Source of Hatred
*****‘Her?’Everyone suddenly thought, perplexed for a moment before…“Huh? Why does she look like that?” someone suddenly abruptly, their brows knitting in confusion.Everyone exchanged gazes, sharing the same sentiment because, at this moment, Jean — the woman who had exuded boldness and arrogance while leading the charge a moment ago- now stood motionless, her face ashen, her lips trembling uncontrollably.It was as though… something she had never imagined happening had just unfolded before her eyes.“President Jean, are you… alright?” an elderly woman beside her couldn’t help but ask cautiously after a moment, but Jean didn’t seem to register her words.“This…”People exchanged bewildered glances, struggling to understand what was going on, until finally…“President Jean…” another woman near Jean, a middle-aged, cautiously called out, reaching out to gently touch her arm.In the following second—“Ye… yes!”Jean flinched as if she had been struck by a sudden surge of
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 360 – Jean’s Fear
*****For a moment after Jean instructed her phone’s AI to make the call, silence blanketed the area like a heavy, suffocating shroud.Then finally…“That’s brilliant, President Jean!”“I love your resolves, President Jean!”“President Jean, you’re amazing!”“President Jean, just call your lawyer already, since Sky Group doesn’t know what’s good for it!”“President Jean…”The crowd erupted in jubilant cheers, their voices ringing with excitement.Just moments ago, they had been wracked with anxiety, watching Jean’s reaction to Xavier’s question with bated breath.A creeping dread had even started to settle over them, fearing that Xavier might have been right after all.But now… none of that mattered.For Jean to have the audacity to call her lawyer so swiftly meant only one thing — Xavier was the one who had tried twisting the lawThis realization also spread like wildfire among Sky Group employees, and in that very instant, their hatred for Xavier intensified to a fright
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 361 – Jean’s Relief
*****For a moment, after Xavier’s words fell, the area inside and outside Sky Group plunged into an eerie silence.Everyone stared at him, frozen in place, their minds scrambling to process what he had just said.‘Search for it on our phone?’These words resonated in their minds, and then, slowly, many people began to waver.‘Could he... could he actually be telling the truth all along?’Breaths hitched, and hearts began to pound in their chests.The employees exchanged anxious glances, hope flickering like a dying ember in their eyes.As for the crowd, their confidence began to shake.There was no reason for Xavier to tell them to search the law if he wasn’t absolutely certain.‘I don’t like where this is going...’ one of the presidents thought, anxiety gnawing at his gut.If the law truly was as Xavier claimed, then they were all in serious trouble.Thinking this, the President instinctively turned to Jean, hoping her composure would settle his nerves, but instead —‘She... why doe
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 362 – Grace’s Response
*****Eyebrows instantly lifted in confusion at the sudden change in her demeanor.Jean, who had been spiteful and arrogant just moments ago, now sounded almost... benevolent.Then, before anyone could think much, she heaved a dramatic sigh, her shoulders rising and falling like she carried the weight of the world.“I’ve decided to give your company another chance,” she declared, her voice laced with false magnanimity. “Out of respect for the history between our companies.”The crowd leaned in.“All you need to do,” Jean continued, “is split Project Echelon in half… and hand 50% over to us.”Silence…A heavy, suffocating silence filled the air, Jean’s request hitting like a lightning bolt.No one had expected such an abrupt change of request.Not Grace.Not her employees.And especially not the crowd.The silence persisted for what felt like an eternity before finally:“This... this is far better than the first request,” one of the employees inside the building muttered,
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 363 – Grace’s Change
*****What is called silence?This.This was what currently engulfed the entirety of Sky Group — from the buzzing office floors to the restless crowd outside the building.It wasn’t the usual silence, instead, it was the kind that weighed heavily and suffocated. It was an absolute stillness, where even the faintest sound, like a pin dropping, would echo like a thunderclap.No one could move.No one could breathe.Instead, they all stood there, frozen in place, their eyes fixated on Grace as if she had suddenly transformed into some mythical entity right before their eyes.Even Xavier, who had already resigned himself to Grace’s unwillingness to heed his words, found himself utterly stunned.And like that, the heavy and suffocating silence lingered for what felt like an eternity before finally—“You!”A startled voice echoed, shattering the quiet and causing everyone to jolt. Yet, not a single gaze shifted toward the speaker.Instead, all eyes remained glued on Grace, and
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 364 – The Truth Revealed
*****‘No! It shouldn’t have been like this!’Jean’s mind suddenly spiraled, her eyes turning bloodshot with rage and madness.‘She should have chosen to split Project Echelon into two without questioning me!’‘How dare she want to verify the law?’‘Is she doubting me?!’‘I hate this!’‘I hate her!’Slowly, Jean’s breathing became ragged, her chest rising and falling like a caged animal. The veins on her temples throbbed violently, her fingers curling into trembling fists.The group of presidents saw this, yet misread her reaction, assuming their relentless insults had finally fractured Jean’s composure.And just then…“I gave you two options, one of which was the simplest and best one, yet you think you can create a third for yourself?”Jean’s icy, venomous voice sliced through the commotion like a blade, instantly snapping everyone back to their senses — all except Xavier and Grace.In the next moment, the air thickened, and the space fell into a sudden, oppressive stil
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 365 – Jean Having Taste of Her Own Medicine
*****Feeling the abrupt shift in the atmosphere, Jane couldn’t help but freeze, suddenly feeling as though a cold hand had caught her throat.Heavy goosebumps began to rise on her skin, and her mind went numb as she realized to her horror that she had just been… caught red-handed.At the same time the truth settled within her, the world outside seemed to freeze.Both inside Sky Group’s building and outside within the crowd, every person stood frozen as though their souls had momentarily vacated their bodies.They were frozen, unable to react or speak, as the weight of what had just happened sank in. Then, at last, after what felt like an eternity..."Did..." A raspy voice sounded in the building, thick with disbelief. "She... she really did twist the law?"Though the voice wasn’t loud, it shattered the silence, and in that moment, time seemed to resume its relentless march.Everyone snapped back to reality, and in an instant, fury ignited like wildfire within them. Rage surge
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 366 – Jean’s Unfortunate Fate
*****Jean’s eyes burned red, her jaw clenched so tightly it trembled.Her fists also balled into two tight fists at her sides, nails digging into her skin, as finally, she turned her furious gaze toward... Xavier.That’s right, Xavier.She despised everyone around her, and if given the choice, she wouldn’t hesitate to have them all slaughtered. But even more than them, she hated Xavier.She knew he was the reason the tables had turned, and if not for him, she would have already secured her share of Projects Echelon and left Sky Group behind.Even if the truth eventually comes to light, by then, it would have been too late for Sky Group and Grace. Yet…“All this was your fault!” she suddenly spat, her voice venomous and brimming with hatred.Hearing her, the crowd slowly fell into stunned silence, the weight of her words crashing over them like a thunderclap.For a moment, no one moved. Then slowly, Jean turned toward Grace, her chest heaving with rage.“You…” she hissed, po

Chapter 449 – Anything That Can Fit Us—Bring It. We Are Buying
*****David exhaled a long sigh before speaking. “Xavier… are you sure you can afford all this?”Before Xavier could respond, a small, sweet voice interrupted.“Uncle… you don’t need to buy the dresses for Little Lola,” the little girl said softly, her voice like a breeze through spring leaves. “Actually, Little Lola wouldn’t even be sad if we returned the one she’s wearing.”Her eyes sparkled, her smile serene and completely honest. “Just getting to wear this pretty dress and feel like a princess for even a few minutes… It’s more than enough to make Little Lola’s heart happy forever.”David’s throat tightened, and Sarah bit her lip to hold back the emotions surging in her chest.But Xavier…He knelt beside the little girl, his smile gentle as he patted her head with affection.“You don’t trust Uncle too?” he teased.Without missing a beat, Little Lola shook her head fervently.“Little Lola trusts Uncle very, very much!” she declared, the seriousness in her voice catching ev
Chapter 448 – Do You Really Want To Buy An Entire Section
*****Back in High Fashion…A stunned silence reigned after Xavier’s casual declaration.“We’re taking everything.”The words still hung in the air, echoing in Amelia’s mind like a thunderclap.She gaped at Xavier. ‘Did he just say… everything?’ She blinked hard as if that would clear up the hallucination she was surely having.‘He couldn’t be serious. Could he?’Her eyes drifted toward the rack Xavier had pointed at—a rack holding nearly twenty high-end designer dresses. Each one is handcrafted, each one radiating exclusivity and elegance. While they didn’t have price tags—High Fashion rarely displayed them—she knew the average cost per dress was over $50,000.'That’s easily a million dollars,' she thought, almost swaying on her feet.If Xavier had strolled in wearing a Rolex wristwatch, with a polished entourage or air of power, maybe she wouldn’t have hesitated to believe him. But this man… this handsome-looking, modestly dressed customer… he didn’t fit the image. At all.
Chapter 447 – The Deserted Dior Boutique
*****Initially, everyone inside the luxurious Dior boutique was vibrating with anticipation, their eyes subtly trained on the glass doors of High Fashion across the street.They were waiting for the moment—that delicious instant when Xavier and his so-called “family of four” would come rushing out, eyes wide, mouths agape, clinging to each other in sticker-shock horror after seeing the prices of the items inside.Some had even prepped their phones, cameras open, ready to capture that fleeting expression of embarrassment and panic. A few were already composing sarcastic captions in their heads, eager to post the spectacle online and revel in the comment section of collective mockery.They had been convinced it was only a matter of seconds—maybe a minute at most. After all, what kind of people walked into High Fashion Boutique, where a single shoelace might cost a mortgage payment?But five minutes passed.Then six.Then seven.Still, no one emerged.“…Could it be that they fa
Chapter 446 – 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
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
