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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 382 – Sage Myron & His Granddaughter Anxiousness
***** Although Xavier could perceive the impact of his actions, he continued to feign innocence and ignorance, casually chewing on the blade dangling between his lips. “What do you mean I’m not an ordinary person?” He questioned irritably. “Do I have two heads or four arms?”” “This…” The masked leader’s legs tremble. “Hehehe.” The stunning woman, on the other hand, suddenly found herself chuckling, her eyes gleaming as she fixed her gaze on Xavier. Everyone glanced in her direction, yet no one dared to reprimand her because, at this moment, a terrifying presence was standing before them. The mercenary leader, after staring at Xavier in stunned silence for what felt like an eternity, took a deep breath and forcibly steadied himself. “Considering how effortlessly you have subdued those two, you are certainly not an E-rank fighter, nor are you a D-rank,” he stated pensively. And the instant the three people present with him heard his speculation, their breathing

Chapter 421 – The Crowd’s Shock and Disbelief
*****‘Owner of that card?’‘Sir?!’The security guards stood dumbfounded, their mouths slack, their jaws seemingly on the brink of unhinging.Shock struck them like a thunderclap.“What the hell is going on?” one of them finally muttered under his breath, echoing the question blazing through each of their stunned minds.Their gazes flicked toward the crowd that had steadily swelled behind the previously proud and composed bank manager—now looking more like a startled, out-of-place clerk.Meanwhile, the crowd…A sea of eyes currently bore down on Xavier, every single person staring at him with obsessive curiosity, as if hoping to peel away the layers of his being and discover the truth beneath.And finally… Xavier?He currently stood still.Unshaken. Serene. Detached.He radiated an eerie calm, like the eye of a deadly storm.Not an ounce of panic, not a flicker of uncertainty. Just composed stillness, as if he’d anticipated this exact sequence of events.Without rushing
Chapter 420 – The Manager’s Arrival
*****“Is it somehow my responsibility that you’re impoverished, insignificant, and utterly beneath notice?” the Chief Security Officer sneered, spitting his words with contempt so thick it practically clung to the air.His voice dripped with derision, and the scorn in his gaze was nothing short of poisonous.“Is it my fault,” he continued with a mocking tilt of his head, “that you chose to provoke—not just an ordinary individual—but the heir of an illustrious third-rank family? A man who, with a flick of his finger or a single spoken command, could erase every person you’ve ever known or cared for from existence?”Xavier, “…”He looked at the CSO as if watching a performing clown—blank, unimpressed, and disinterested.For a second, he said nothing, simply letting the silence thicken like fog.And then—“So what you’re telling me,” he said slowly, a trace of amusement curling in his tone, “is that the buffoon—who struts around flaunting his bloodline and abusing his identity—i
Chapter 419 – The Experience With The Dispatched Guards
*****About five minutes or so ago.Xavier did not leave immediately after stepping out of the bank. Instead, he stood quietly just outside the glass doors, his back straight, his expression as calm as still water.He wasn’t a petty person who actively sought conflict, but if provoked, he would not retreat. No—he couldn’t.Not with how he had been treated today.He had to make Brenda pay and make her partners in crime realize that not everyone should be looked down upon.Because he knew—deep in his bones that if he let this go, the memory would fester like a splinter lodged beneath his skin, tormenting him each time he remembered the utter contempt, the humiliation, the outright rejection that had been thrown at him without mercy today.Even when he had just been sentenced to prison—stripped of all dignity—he had never been treated with such disgust.He clenched his fists, a storm of fury and ice churning within his chest.He stood there, silently waiting. Waiting for the ine
Chapter 418 – Gregory’s Terror
*****“I… I think I might know who the card belongs to.”A voice broke the silence, soft and uncertain, but it was enough to slice through the tension like a blade.All heads turned instantly toward the source.It was the customer who had been standing at the front of the queue behind Xavier earlier—the customer directly in front of Brenda’s counter.Now, under the scrutiny of dozens of eyes, the man’s face turned pale as snow. Sweat trickled from his temples.If the ground could have opened up and swallowed him whole, he would have welcomed it.He hadn’t even meant to speak. The words had slipped out unintentionally, as though his subconscious had betrayed him.“You… you know the owner of this?” Gregory asked, carefully raising the obsidian-colored card again, his eyes wide with a strange mix of hope and dread.The customer opened his mouth, hesitating. His lips trembled.“I…” he began, swallowing hard.He genuinely considered denying it. Pretending he had made a mistake.
Chapter 417 – I Think I Might Know Who The Card Belongs To
*****“Where is the owner of this card?”The voice wasn’t loud, but it immediately struck the crowd like a thunderclap.It was chilling. Piercing. Unmistakably authoritative.Everyone stopped talking instantly, and then their heads turned in unison toward the speaker.The moment they identified the source—Gregory—they felt another wave of fear rise up their spines.‘So, he had released the cold… with nothing but his aura.’Even more terrifying? The question he asked was directed at someone specific.Brenda.The card had fallen in front of her counter.And now, Gregory’s frostbitten gaze was locked directly on her.She froze, her breath hitched, and her knees nearly buckled.She didn’t even dare blink.Brenda’s heart began to thunder wildly in her chest, each beat crashing like a drum against her ribcage.A suffocating pressure bore down on her, accompanied by a chilling aura, unlike anything she had ever experienced in her entire life.One second…Two seconds…Three s
Chapter 416 – Where Is The Owner of This Card?
Chapter 416 – Where Is The Owner of This Card? ***** ‘What is that thing?’ Numerous individuals pondered internally, their eyes fixated on the glossy black card lying motionless on the floor. Its surface shimmered faintly under the fluorescent lighting. It was clearly made of a rare material, unlike anything they had known. It bore a resemblance to a bank card, perhaps an advanced type of ATM card, but instinctively, everyone knew this wasn’t any ordinary financial instrument. The entire hall remained silent, as though collectively holding its breath. Each person watched Gregory’s reaction with heightened anticipation, wondering just what made this card so distinct to give him such a reaction. The tension lingered for what seemed like an unending stretch of time until finally... “Uncle… is that something important?” Julius finally asked, his curiosity pushed past its limit. His voice instantly shattered the stillness that had settled in within the bank like a
Chapter 415 – Whose Card Is That?!
*****Gregory’s eyes immediately locked onto the bewildered young man standing before him. “Could it be… are you affiliated with the Cromwell family here in Riverton?”‘What...?’A heavy hush blanketed the entire lobby like a woolen shroud.Every individual present—staff and customer alike—fixated on Gregory, their expressions frozen in astonishment.Even Julius found himself momentarily speechless.“You… you actually recognize my family?” he asked, visibly taken aback.Under ordinary circumstances, such a question might seem excessive. But in a metropolis like Riverton—where third-tier families numbered in the hundreds—it was understandable.Moreover, the heads of major branches like this one of Titan Financial Institution, especially the headquarters Branch, were often individuals hailing from second—or third-tier families themselves.Gregory didn’t immediately reply. Instead, his sharp gaze scanned Julius from head to toe. Then, just as abruptly, a faint yet familiar smile
Chapter 414 – Twisting The Event
*****The interior of the bank was deathly silent at this moment.Not a whisper, not a shuffle—only stunned expressions and the echoing tension in the air.Every gaze was fixed squarely on Gregory Langston, the prestigious branch manager of Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch.‘Offend a VVIP customer?’Whether they were employees in uniform or customers in line, furrowed brows rippled throughout the room like synchronized waves.“Why would we possibly offend a VVIP customer of all customers?”“Moreover, apart from VIP customers, we haven’t even received any customer worth being a VVIP in years, have we?”Confusion spread like wildfire amongst the various employees.Dozens of silent voices echoed within the minds of the bank employees, each one scrambling through recent memories, desperately attempting to recall if they'd slighted any important figures.But—nothing. No recollection. No one of significance had been turned away, mistreated, or even mildly inconven
Chapter 413 – Which Of You Dares To Offend The VVIP Customer?!
*****“H-He’s doomed,” a nearby customer muttered quietly, his voice barely more than a whisper, but his words echoed what everyone else was thinking.The others nodded their heads in agreement.Several people couldn’t help but pity Xavier.“I even suggested he back down... but he had to act so recklessly, despite clearly having nothing to rely on!”“Aish. I get that he wanted to stand his ground, but doesn’t he understand how life works? Some people... some people like them, you simply don’t go against them. Or you’ll end up regretting it for life.”“What a shame...”They sighed collectively, shaking their heads as they imagined the fate that awaited Xavier once the guards caught up with him and handed him over to Julius.Their thoughts naturally turned to Julius again, and they glanced in his direction—only to freeze.The fury and coldness that had distorted his face earlier could no longer be seen.Now, Julius wore the same expression he had when he first walked into the
