Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 368 – Chased Off
*****The moment the crowd heard Grace’s icy command, they froze, unable to react for what felt like an eternity. Then, exchanging frantic glances, the same thought echoed like a war drum in their minds:‘Did we just shoot ourselves in the foot?’In the following second, they swallowed hard, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads as they turned back to Grace.“Pre… President Grace, plea… please don’t forget that no one knows tomorrow. It might be your time today, but it could be ours tomorrow. Don’t cut off the bridge after crossing it.”“That’s right, President Grace. Please remember the saying — never forget the friends who stood by you in times of trouble. We’ve been your partner companies for years, way long before you even dreamed of receiving this life-changing project.”“President Grace…”Their voices rose in unison, the desperation palpable. But instead of genuine remorse or apology, their words dripped with manipulation.They completely twisted the narrative, makin
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 369 – Thank You So Much!
*****“Those idiots ran so fast!”“Ah! I’m so pissed I couldn’t grab one of them. I would’ve made an example out of them!”“I need to start training my speed. If something like this happens again, and I fail to teach one of them a lesson they’ll never forget in their lives, I’ll die of regret!”The group of employees returned, panting heavily and drenched in sweat, but their eyes sparkled with excitement. And despite their exhaustion, they spoke loudly, their voices dripping with regret for not catching the fleeing presidents.Before long, they stood in front of Grace like soldiers awaiting their commander’s praise.“We chased them off like rats fleeing for their lives, President Grace!” one of them declared joyfully, jolting finally Grace and Dorothy out of their stupor.In the following second, Grace tucked her swirling thoughts into a corner of her mind and swept her gaze over the employees.“You all have my deepest gratitude,” she said, her voice steady. “Defending this co
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 370 – Dorothy’s Change of Mind
*****Although Dorothy had managed to suppress her deep-rooted animosity and dislike toward Xavier, she had forced herself to persist in disliking him, convinced he was undoubtedly trying to exploit her boss in some way or the other.Yet, time and time again, he had appeared whenever her boss was in a desperate and helpless predicament, consistently stepping in to assist her.Was it when her boss was being coerced by the patriarch of her family and her hateful extended family into marrying a hateful, arrogant guy she didn’t love? Xavier had willingly agreed to be a contracted husband for her in order to help her out.Or perhaps the day before? He had driven away everyone who was pressuring Grace.And this morning… even when she and her boss had lost all hope, Xavier had managed to turn the situation around and prepare everything before the Harrison Conglomerate arrived.And now, at last…Clenching her teeth, Dorothy, momentarily forgetting herself, suddenly lowered her head lik
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 371 – The Employees’ Speculations
*****Honestly, when Lila made up her mind to betray Janet, she hadn’t had the time to consider her job’s status. At that moment, her only concern had been rescuing her kidnapped family members from her cruel, selfish, and heartless boss, fully aware that, after failing to reclaim the partnership, Janet might actually kill them.But now, hearing Grace’s question…Already knowing the truth, she swallowed hard, suddenly feeling powerless, and then offered Grace a bitter smile.“I suppose so, ma’am,” she replied. But after thinking for a moment, her bitterness faded, replaced by a relieved smile.“That doesn’t necessarily mean it is a bad thing, though. At least I won’t have to work in that toxic environment anymore.”Everyone around her quickly nodded their heads, understanding that if her president could be so shameless and deceitful, the company itself must have been even worse.On the other hand, Grace’s lips curved into a faint smile after hearing Lila’s response.“I have an
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 372 – It Was My Doing
*****At this moment, Grace’s office was silent.Xavier and Grace were seated in the lounge area, but neither of them spoke.Xavier appeared incredibly calm, casually observing the various artworks mounted on the wall, while Grace, on the other hand, looked visibly awkward.The two had been sitting like this for over three minutes, and the silence stretched for another two before Grace finally took a deep, steadying breath.She gingerly turned her gaze toward Xavier, her heart pounding.“I apologize for not trusting you earlier,” she finally said, her voice breaking the heavy quiet and snapping Xavier’s attention back to her.A small, confused expression crossed his face.“Not trusting me?” he repeated, tilting his head.Grace’s face flushed crimson, wondering whether Xavier was teasing her, but then she realized he wasn’t, and with this, she released another small breath.“Earlier… when you told everyone the real law,” she muttered, her voice quiet and heavily laced with se
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 373 – They Are Against You Moving In With Me?
*****“You…”Grace, after staring at Xavier in a daze for a moment, finally stuttered, pointing at him in bewilderment.But in the following second, her lips twitched, and she heaved a deep sigh.“The way you always turn serious topics into jokes never fails to amuse me,” she muttered, shaking her head in exasperation.Meanwhile, Xavier—He couldn’t help but freeze, staring at Grace in an utter daze.Just now, her reaction to his response had made him think she had believed his words since she already had her doubt, but…“You don’t believe me again?” he asked, his gaze sharp and unwavering.Grace instantly rolled her eyes.“Wouldn’t I be a little too gullible if I were to believe something like that? Even if you were close to the Blackwood family, I doubt they could have convinced the Harrison family to hand over such a massive project to my Sky Group,” she said seriously.‘This…’Xavier’s lips twitched once, twice… Then, he had no idea whether to laugh or cry.“Besides…”
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 374 – They’re My In-laws, After All
*****“Then…” Xavier drawled, and Grace sighed.“They had already guessed that my marriage was a sham,” she admitted.It took a moment for Xavier to process her words before muttering, “Oh…”Then, nodding his head slightly, he glanced at her."I think that's only natural," he reasoned, pausing for a moment before continuing. "If I'm not mistaken, you haven't been seeing anyone before, and as far as they knew, you didn't have a fiancé. So why do you think they would easily believe you suddenly got married—especially when it conveniently solved your problem?"“I…”Grace faltered, and then he let out a soft sigh.“I have also thought the same,” she murmured thoughtfully before shaking her head. “They told me to invite you over. And if I had to guess, they mostly only want to see for themselves whether our marriage is real or fake.”Xavier stared at her in confusion, wondering what was wrong with that request. “Isn’t that only… normal?” He asked."Huh?" Grace lifted her eyebrows
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 375 – Getting Seduced from All Sides
*****‘Did I say something wrong?’‘Why did she suddenly switch on like that?’Walking out of Grace’s office, Xavier became filled with many unanswered questions, unable to shake off the abrupt shift in her demeanor from his mind.He had only been trying to help her because from the little he had gathered in the short time he had known Grace, neither she nor her parents could stand up to her extended family. And with the way things had ended today, he could already tell she was about to be pressured into something she wouldn’t like.That was why he had suggested going with her. It wasn’t just to support her—it was also an opportunity to meet her parents. But…‘Could it be because I have been getting too involved in her business beyond our initial deal?’A multitude of thoughts continued echoing through Xavier’s mind as he walked forward, too lost in them to notice the way the employees’ eyes lit up the moment they laid their sight on him.In the following second—“Are you hea

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
