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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 381 – You Are Not Some Ordinary Guy, Are You?
***** For a moment, no one could respond. Not the elderly man, not his granddaughter, and most especially, not the masked mercenaries. Everyone continued staring at Xavier in a trance who should have already been slaughtered, completely unsure of how to react until finally… “Where… where is Fifth Brother?” One of the masked figures stammered, shattering the silence like a fragile piece of glass. In the next second, speculations filled the air. “Fifth Brother and his usual antics.” “Why hasn’t he finished off this idiot already?” “Ugh! I should have been assigned the task.” The masked men began to express their discontent and irritation while scanning their surroundings. However, Xavier did not interject. Instead, he remained entirely at ease, even leisurely chewing on a blade of grass he had procured from who knows where. At last, however, when the group of mercenaries began to complain after not seeing what they were searching for… “Are you searchin

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
Chapter 434 – No Redemption Left
*****It had been more than three minutes since Xavier and the manager exited the bank, yet silence still gripped the bank like a vice.No one spoke.No one moved.The echoes of what had just transpired continued repeating endlessly in every mind, like a haunting dream on a loop.The employees stood frozen in place, pale-faced and drenched in cold sweat, while customers remained rooted, too stunned to process anything.And then, there was Brenda—her expression hollow, as the soul had already abandoned her body. Her eyes were vacant, her breathing shallow.She stood there, unmoving, like a statue carved from guilt and shame.Finally… the guards.All of them were still on their knees, unmoving.They had known that Xavier’s wrath was coming and had tried to prepare.They had knelt before him long before he reached them, as they had originally reached them.They'd begged, wailed, and thrown every ounce of self-respect out the window.They blamed the devil.Literally.“It wa
Chapter 433 – One Card, Half A Trillion
*****All blood was pumping fiercely at this moment.Even the customers in the crowd could feel it, as if they too were tangled in the madness unraveling before them.‘He was treated like trash… and in retaliation, he decided to withdraw his savings, knowing that’s enough punishment for the bad treatment he was given?’'No… not just punishment. Something enough to bankrupt an entire national banking system!’People blinked, looking stunned. Their indignation, their pride, their frustration—they’d all come to the bank for similar reasons.Many had planned to withdraw everything from their accounts as a form of protest. They, too, had grievances after all.They were constantly mistreated by the bankers and constantly ignored and overlooked as well, even always getting abused.But now?Now, their actions felt nothing more than children’s tantrums compared to what they’d just witnessed.Even the customer with the largest savings among the ordinary customers began to shrink inwar
Chapter 432 – What Is A Flex If Not This
*****From a young age, Julius had been taught a foundational truth of high finance:Every account has a ceiling—no matter who you are and how limitless your account and card are.Whether you were a high-ranking official or belonged to a first-tier powerhouse, the rule remained unbreakable.Even the legendary families at the apex of global wealth—those whose shadows loomed over economies. It was said they were bound by this limitation.Yes, you could control assets worth billions… trillions, even.Yes, your investments could span industries, continents, and entire empires.But when it came to liquid funds—hard cash—there was always a cap. A regulatory boundary.Julius had questioned this growing up.He had wondered why someone couldn’t just liquidate everything they had. Why couldn’t they simply convert all their assets into cold, spendable cash?The answer had always been delivered in helpless and respectful tones by economic tutors and advisors alike:Inflation. Stability
Chapter 431 – The Account Balance That Causes Commotion
*****They say maintaining absolute silence in a room with fewer than fifty people is easy. Manageable, even.Once the number crosses a hundred, though? That’s where it becomes nearly impossible.Human beings would breathe. They would shift. They would cough, murmur, sneeze, and move without realizing it. Now, multiply that by a hundred, and absolute silence becomes little more than a fantasy.But that law didn’t seem to apply here. Not today. Not in this bank.More than three hundred people were packed shoulder to shoulder within the confines of the main banking hall—customers, employees, security personnel, and even a few passersby who had walked in just moments earlier.And yet…Not a sound.Not a whisper.Not a rustle.Not even the rustle of fabric or the sigh of shifting weight.This wasn’t just silence. This was a… void.It was the kind of unnatural, oppressive stillness that made the very air feel thick and heavy—as though it might shatter if anyone dared to move.
Chapter 430 – The Titanium Account Balance
*****Right now, Julius simply stood there, looking utterly frozen.He stared blankly at Xavier, his anger completely evaporated.His arrogance had withered, and now, only confusion and disbelief remained.‘Is… is he sane?’ he wondered.Who rejects VIP treatment?His brain simply couldn’t process what was happening.….Meanwhile, Gregory stared hard at Xavier, a storm of emotions passing through his gaze.What he had just heard had completely humbled him.There was no arrogance in Xavier’s tone. No flaunting of power. No smug satisfaction. And no ridicule.It was only a quiet principleA principle Gregory had long buried beneath rules and obligations.To be honest, he, too, hated the practice.That’s rightHe hated prioritizing people based on wealth or background, likewise believing that no human being should be treated better than the other, especially when the said human beings were even in their rights.But a rule was a rule no matter what—and unless he was tired o
