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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 376 – Back In The Alleyway
*****Only God knew how Xavier would have reacted if he had any idea what had just happened inside the building.But he had absolutely no clue.Hell, he hadn’t even realized that anyone had tried to approach him just now, let alone seduce him.Well, it’s not that it would have made a difference—he wouldn’t have given in to their advances anyway. But if he had known, his response would have been… different.Right now, however, his mind was still preoccupied with what had happened in Grace’s office.He continued replaying the scene over and over in his mind, searching for what he might have done wrong—but he found nothing.Ultimately, he heaved a deep sigh, shaking his head.“Whatever.” He muttered.With this, he pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind and let himself return to normal.Exiting the Sky Group compound, Xavier paused and contemplated for a moment, watching as taxis came and went. He was about to flag one down when something suddenly crossed his mind.A secon
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 377 – The Robbery in The Alleyway
***** Currently, in a dimly lit opening between three towering buildings, where the last remnants of the setting sun cast long, dying rays, five men stood in a semi-circle. Dressed in black from head to toe, their faces hidden beneath cold, expressionless masks, they exuded nothing but violence—a suffocating aura of hostility and murderous intent, showing that they were not there to negotiate. At the center of their encirclement stood an elderly man draped in a simple gray robe, his aged face lined with wisdom and defiance. Beside him, a breathtakingly beautiful young woman—no older than twenty-five—clung to his sleeve, her hands trembling, her face drained of color. Although her grandfather's presence should have been comforting, fear clutched her tightly like a vice because she could already sense that the five people surrounding them weren’t there for games—they were there to rob them, an experience entirely new to her. The old man, on the other hand, did not waver.
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 378 – The Grandfather and Granddaughter’s Hopelessness
***** A violent surge of adrenaline instantly rushed down Sage Myron’s spine, leaving his body trembling as an unshakable wave of terror gripped him. A genuine, unmistakable look of fear finally cracked through his composed facade. “Who… who are you people?! Who sent you?!” he stammered, his voice barely holding together as he stared at the masked figures closing in on him, his heart hammering against his ribs. The masked men did not respond right away. Instead, they glared at him with eyes like sharpened daggers through their masks, their aggressive aura thick with hostility—an unspoken promise that they wanted nothing more than to rip him to shreds. “I gave you a better choice to pick,” the leader, the D-ranked fighter within the group, muttered darkly. His voice was calm, almost casual, but it dripped with an eerie finality. “I gave you the chance to pick life over death… but since you’ve made your decision—” He paused, savoring the moment, allowing the suffocating
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 379 – Underestimated Again
***** At this instant, the atmosphere in the opening was deathly silent, all eyes fixated on Xavier’s nonchalant and languid posture. No one had felt his presence, and for this reason, although the expressions of the figures clad in all black were concealed by the masks covering their faces, one could tell that they appeared a bit tensed and rigid at this moment, judging by their mere posture. Even the elderly man and his granddaughter found themselves awkwardly staring at Xavier, uncertain about how to react or what expression to wear at his abrupt appearance and request. And just like that, time slowly crawled forward like a sluggish snail, with no one making a move until finally… “We are members of the Nightforce Mercenary Guild. State your identity!” the leader of the masked figures commanded, his voice calculating and austere. ‘Mem... members of Night… Nightforce Mercenary Guild?’ It was the old man who reacted, his eyes suddenly widening in shock, his jaw sla
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 380 – Which of You Idiots Wants to be the Next to Fall?
***** The gorgeously, beautiful, young woman screamed just as Xavier was about to round a corner, her voice abruptly startling everyone. All eyes immediately shifted to her, and the elderly man’s gaze became filled with worry and confusion. “What do you think you’re doing?!” He hissed, while the masked figures glared menacingly at her, their murderous aura spiraling outward. However, the young woman did not spare any of them a glance. Instead, she fixed a hopeful yet anxious stare on Xavier, who had already come to a stop, his back still turned toward her. She trembled all over, her fingers nervously twisting around each other. “You… you claim you can protect us if we hand over the Everdusk Bloom, right?” She stammered. In the next moment, a suffocating, oppressive silence blanketed the area, every gaze instantly locking onto the young woman. Her grandfather and the masked men. They were dumbfounded beyond measure, then… “She…” The masked figures didn’t kn

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
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
