Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 391 – Report About Hunter
*****A small group remained after everyone else had left unhappily, and seeing these people, Augustus, who was still reveling in his and his family’s triumph, turned to them with a curious smile.“You have something for me?”The guards hesitated, a flicker of unease flashing across their faces before finally, they mustered their courage and then…“We…”The hesitation did not go unnoticed.“We have combed every corner of the city, as per your orders, sir, in search of Hunter.” One of them spoke, at last, his voice carrying a strained edge.Augustus’s eyes narrowed slightly.“Oh?”Lucius and his father both turned their attention fully to the guards, their interest piqued.But as the group remained awkwardly silent, their expressions darkened.“Don’t tell me…” A chill laced Augustus’s voice, his aura beginning to stir once more. “You failed to complete such a simple task?”A suffocating pressure filled the air once again, causing the guards to stiffen in alarm. Their throat
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 392 – Returning Home
*****Completely oblivious to the intricate schemes unraveling beneath the veil of night, Xavier sat comfortably in the rear seat of a sleek sedan, his excitement nearly palpable.His eyes gleamed like polished gemstones under a flickering light, an irrepressible grin stretching across his face as he clutched a small, unassuming box. Every few moments, he ran his fingers over its surface as if to reassure himself that it was real."Who would have thought today’s simple outing would yield such an invaluable treasure?" he mused, his gaze fixated on the box in his grasp.This herb had weighed heavily on his mind ever since he resolved to concoct a medicinal remedy for his parents' untimely agedness and health.Despite maintaining a façade of optimism—believing it wouldn’t be too difficult to acquire from the herbal market where Little Lola had planned to take him—deep down, a lingering unease had gnawed at him. But now…“We’ve arrived, sir.”The deep, reverent voice of the driver
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 393 – Eavesdropping
***** A shift in the atmosphere settled over the massive mansion, suffocating and heavy. Xavier’s heart clenched. He hadn’t even stepped into the living room yet, and he could already tell his mother had been deeply affected by those words. And as expected… “You—” Sarah’s voice cracked, the weight of emotion making it tremble. “You must…” But before her words could fully escape, David’s voice cut in abruptly. “So tell me, then, Little Lola. If you enjoy spending time with your grandmother and me so much, why do you keep asking about your uncle?” Xavier immediately understood. His father was trying to shift the conversation, to steer his wife away from another painful breakdown. A knowing smile played on his lips. ‘My father understood my mother better than anyone after all,’ he thought to himself. Shaking his head lightly, he prepared to step into their sight when— "Grandpa, Grandma, Little Lola don’t think you know yet…" Little Lola’s soft voice, fille
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 394 – You’re Sure This Marriage Is Not Just A Contra—
*****“Mother, Father!” Xavier called out, his voice deliberately loud, acting as though he had just entered and had no idea they were in the living room.For a brief moment, silence reigned throughout the house. Then…But then…“Uncle?”A soft, hesitant voice drifted from the living room.Just at that moment, Xavier stepped in and was met with a sight that nearly shattered him.His mother’s eyes were red and puffy, her hands hurriedly wiping at the lingering traces of tears, evidence that she had been quietly weeping before his arrival.Opposite her, his father sat rigid, his face lined with sorrow, trying and failing to mask the emotions etched onto his features.Between them, Little Lola sat still, her expression uncertain, her tiny hands clutching the hem of her dress as if needing something to hold on to.But the moment she truly registered his presence, her eyes brightened like a sky after a storm, and without hesitation, she jumped to her feet.Yet, just as quickly,
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 395 – The Pitiful Victor and Jenifer
*****The following morning.Claannng!The sharp sound of metal hitting metal suddenly echoed through the silent corridor as a heavily armored soldier slid the rusted iron bolt aside.He unlocked the cell door with a lazy flick of his wrist, the hinges screeching in protest. Then his cold, pitiless eyes peered into the suffocating darkness within, where the air was thick with the stench of sweat, filth, and something far worse—despair.“You can leave,” he spat, his voice dripping with contempt.The cell was pitch black, an abyss so consuming that even the faintest shapes were swallowed whole.At a glance, it seemed abandoned, as if no living soul had ever occupied it. But the soldier wasn’t deceived. He didn’t move, didn’t rush. Instead, he remained at the threshold, arms crossed, waiting.Seconds passed, yet no response. And realizing this, his lips twisted into a smirk.“No movement? Hah. It seems you two enjoyed the special treatment I arranged for you. Perhaps another day
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 396 – The Humiliated & Furious Couple
*****Jennifer’s breath hitched upon hearing the soldier’s question, and Victor’s shoulders trembled.The soldier had guessed right.The torment they had endured and the unspeakable horrors—although not physically, had shattered them so thoroughly that they had lost control of themselves.Their own bodies had betrayed them in their helplessness. And now—The humiliation was suffocating.The soldier’s laughter rang in their ears, each note of mockery stabbing them deeper, deeper.He didn’t even need a response. Their silence, their frozen expressions of horror, were answer enough.“Pathetic.”He waved a hand in front of his nose, feigning exaggerated nausea. “Get out of my sight before I puke.”Jennifer and Victor jolted at his words, their bodies instinctively jerking into motion.They didn’t even hesitate. Heads down, shoulders hunched, they staggered away, their steps unsteady, their minds fractured.They didn’t walk. They ran.They ran without looking back, their feet
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 397 – The Couple’s Plan For Revenge
*****“I’m curious…” Victor muttered suddenly, glancing at Jennifer after hearing her words. “How did he make that soldier obey him like that? It wasn’t just respect—it was absolute deference. Could it be… he has an identity you don’t know about?”“This…”Jennifer faltered.She had been so blinded by hatred just now that she hadn’t considered it. But now…She recalled the soldier’s words, his tone, the way he had bowed his head.Her brows furrowed, and for the first time, uncertainty flickered in her gaze.But then, as if crushing the thought beneath her heel, she let out a scornful laugh.“You think that useless loser is anything special?”Victor didn’t answer, but his hesitation spoke volumes.Jennifer sneered at this. “You… You actually thought that nobody was someone important? What a joke!”Her laughter grew louder, and harsher until it turned into something bordering on hysteria.She laughed until her sides ached until tears pricked her eyes—not from sadness, but fro
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 398 – The Soldier’s Respect
*****Xavier woke up very early that morning, his mind already set on the tasks ahead.Without a moment’s delay, he washed himself clean and reached for the only available attire in his possession—the very same outfit he had worn upon his release from prison.Although freshly laundered, it still carried a faint shadow of his past, as if it bore silent witness to the life he had left behind.‘I really need to find time to purchase some proper clothing,’ he mused to himself, though he wasn’t particularly eager about shopping for attire.Despite his usual indifference and dislike for extravagant clothing, the idea of wearing the same plain and uninspiring outfit unsettled him. Now slightly faded, the attire seemed to radiate mediocrity, resembling something a beggar might wear.To be honest, it wasn’t the absence of luxury that troubled him, but what the dress itself represented—a lingering tie to a past he was determined to leave behind.Above all, what unsettled him most was the

Chapter 405 – How Much Do You Think I Can Withdraw Using That Information From This Bank?
*****“You… you really are determined to cause trouble, aren’t you?” she snarled, her voice sharp enough to cut steel.Hearing her words, Xavier merely arched a brow at this, a trace of amusement flickering across his lips before he suppressed it.‘Me? Cause trouble?’The thought flitted across his mind, but he chose not to voice it. He simply let her words hang in the air, allowing them to fester in the thick, tension-choked silence.Brenda’s fury only escalated at this. Her entire body trembled, her jaw clenching so tightly it seemed moments away from snapping.How dare he?How dare this nobody demand that she, Brenda Hawthorne, walk over and personally pick up his card?How dare he threaten he would shut down this branch unless I was fired?Who does he think he is?The sheer audacity of it made her blood boil.But suppressing her rage, she turned sharply to Julius, her voice suddenly dripping with sickly sweet reverence.“Young Master Cromwell,” she addressed him smooth
Chapter 404 – You Are Really Determined To Cause Trouble, Aren’t You?
*****Every single person in the bank was struck speechless at this moment.Young master Julius Cromwell was frozen in place, his smirk wiped clean off his face.Brenda Hawthorne, the haughty cashier, gawked, her lips slightly parted as though words had failed her.Her colleagues, the waiting customers, and even the armed security guards—every last one of them—stood motionless, their gazes locked onto Xavier as if he were some mythical beast that had just emerged in their midst.With this, a suffocating tension wrapped around the entire bank like an iron chain. The air itself seemed to constrict, thick with disbelief.Moments ago, the place was filled with noise and chatter, but now? The silence was so absolute, so deafening, that it became more oppressive than the previous clamor.Seconds stretched unbearably long, each one dragging out the tension further.And then suddenly—“Interesting.”The word, uttered in an infuriatingly playful tone, shattered the silence like glass
Chapter 403 – Xavier’s Threat
*****"Although this is my first time meeting you," Julius, in flamboyant attire, spoke with an air of calculated leisure, his piercing gaze sweeping over Xavier from head to toe.The sheer repulsion in his eyes was unmistakable, as though he were looking at something filthy, something unworthy of existence."...And given your…” he drawled, clicking his lips, the disgust in his eyes evident. “…Extremely humble state, I doubt I'll ever have the misfortune of crossing paths with you again," he continued, his voice rich and pleasant to the ear, yet laced with unmistakable derision. "After all, I rarely find myself in the same space as... your kind."His tone, seemingly polite on the surface, was dripping with undisguised contempt.The implication of his words was crystal clear—Xavier was too poor, too insignificant to even exist in the same world as him.Of course, Xavier caught the meaning of his words instantly, yet his face remained impassive, betraying no reaction. His cold, un
Chapter 402 – Xavier’s Disbelief
*****"Ah!!! This is outrageous, and it badly infuriates me!”“You people are nothing but bullies!""How could such a place like this be this shamelessly biased?! We've been waiting for hours, and just because someone wealthy waltzes in, you chose to abandon us all to serve him without any iota of shame and remorse?!""Where is the fairness in this?!""I despise this bank with every fiber of my being!""I swear, I will make sure to spread the word of this disgraceful conduct to my friends, family, and every single person I have ever known! No one will ever trust this corrupt institution again!"Raging voices that overlapped each other continued reverberating throughout the bank, filling the air with sheer indignation.The furious customers standing in the endless queue behind Xavier glowered daggers at the cashier and the ostentatiously dressed man.Their collective fury was palpable—their faces flushed with rage and their eyes ablaze with hostility.Some had even clenched t
Chapter 401 – Bonus Chapter
*****[ A/N: To celebrate the major milestone of reaching chapter 400, here’s a bonus chapter! I wish I could upload more, but as I mentioned in earlier chapters, my schedule has been packed lately. So please bear with me on this one.Thanks again for your support!]—“Hey, boy! Where do you think you’re going?!”“You better not be thinking of cutting the line!”“The hell does this dude think he’s doing?”The room’s atmosphere tensed as multiple voices rose in indignation.Xavier, along with the others, instinctively turned toward the commotion.A man, likely in his early thirties, sauntered forward as though the world belonged to him. His designer-branded suit, a garish explosion of gold and navy blue, clung perfectly to his broad shoulders, and multiple diamond-studded rings glittered on his fingers.Despite the hostile murmurs from the queue, he strutted forward with an air of superiority, flashing a smug, self-satisfied grin.His sheer audacity made it evident that he w
Chapter 400 – The Overtly Arrogant Cashier
*****“Pardon?”Xavier couldn’t help but ask staring in a daze at Brenda, and just then, the lady finally lifted her gaze, her eyes unhurriedly dragging over Xavier from head to toe as if assessing his worth.Then, as if repulsed by what she saw, her lips slowly curled in open disdain.“Do I look like I’m playing here?” she sneered, her voice dripping with contempt.Xavier’s fingers flexed, his patience thinning at an alarming rate.Her voice sharpened further, loud and commanding, as though scolding an unruly dog.“You stand there and wait until I call you! You don’t just walk up like you own the place!”Her tone grated against Xavier’s nerves, and for a split second, his vision darkened.The bank had already tested him for hours. He had endured the horrendous service, the incompetence, the long wait, and the deafening complaints.But this?…….The moment the cashier, Brenda, snapped at Xavier, numerous heads turned in his direction, and immediately, some of Brenda’s colle
Chapter 399 – The Overcrowded Bank
*****It wasn’t long before they arrived at a bank, and as soon as Xavier stepped inside it, he was greeted by a sight that made his brows lift in mild surprise.The place was packed.Long, winding queues stretched across the entire hall, snaking their way to the very back, as though every single person in the city had chosen this exact morning to make a withdrawal.‘Wow.’His eyes swept over the seemingly endless lines of people, amusement flickering across his features.‘What in the world? Are they handing out free money today, or does everyone just happen to be in dire need of cash at the exact same time?’…….At this very moment, Xavier stood motionless, his gaze fixed on the seemingly endless lines stretching across the bank’s interior.A slight frown formed on his face as he scanned the room, his sharp eyes darting from one queue to another, searching—hoping—for the shortest one.Yet, to his dismay, they were all excruciatingly long.The countless air conditioning mac
