Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 030 – Becoming The Number One Public Enemy
*****“Would Father still recognize me after all these years of being away?” Xavier couldn’t help but suddenly murmur to himself as he waited for a cab to pass by.“Would he be filled with resentment for me for making his and my mother’s life miserable all these years?”“How will our first meeting go after I’ve left him childless for so long?”He continued muttering, his mood completely somber, an emotion entirely different from the one he had before he left his mother’s ward.Xavier only sighed deeply after a long time had passed before deciding to push all the questions in his mind aside since he was certain there would be no answers for them until he faced his father. This was what Xavier was doing, when from nowhere, a sudden cry for help rang out, snapping him back to reality.He frowned slightly upon hearing this plea, but since it had nothing to do with him and he wasn’t one to interfere in other people's affairs, he chose to ignore it.However, without any warning, hi
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 031 – Cassandra’s Stupefaction
*****Most of the people in the crowd had initially only joined in to hurl insults at Xavier, not out of true anger at him but because they heard others doing so and they did not want to stand out, yet, hearing him not denying the allegation, but even repeating what he had said, they went dumbstruck, finding it difficult to believe that someone would really curse a dying old man to death.Even Cassandra Blackwood, the dazzling beauty hadn’t been completely certain of the words that had drifted into her ears earlier and she had only acted more on instinct. But now, to think she hadn’t misheard…Everyone stared blankly at Xavier as if he were an alien, and this silence persisted for a moment before the crowd resumed their verbal assault.“How shameless!”“How evil!”“To actually curse someone’s grandfather right in front of his granddaughter—how audacious!”They hurled all sorts of insults and slurs at Xavier, but he remained unfazed, continuing to gaze calmly at the face that wa
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 032 – Threatened
*****“Grandfather, how—how can you want someone like that, who probably doesn’t have any idea about treatment, to treat you?” Cassandra asked helplessly, staring at her grandfather in disbelief.“Moreover, I don’t even think there’s any truth in what he just said—it’s nothing but gibberish that could only be understood by fools like him!” She spat, then glared hatefully and aggressively at the still-composed Xavier.Just then, however, she heard heavy breathing beside her, compelling her to look, and upon realizing the heavy breathing came from her grandfather, whose face was now rapidly shifting between red, blue, and purple several times faster than earlier, and her anxiety returned and her eyes became filled with unshed tears.“Grandfather, grandfather, please don’t die on me, please! Is it him you want, I will—”“I’m not dying!” the old man, who seemed to be taking his last breath, abruptly snapped, glaring at Cassandra.“You—how dare you little brat call me a fool?”Cassa
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 033 – Cassandra’s Hatred
Chapter 033 – Cassandra’s Hatred*****A sudden cry no one had anticipated completely shattered the serene atmosphere Xavier had subconsciously built in an instant, jolting everyone back to their senses.Upon looking, everyone realized that the voice belonged to Cassandra, who was now breathing heavily as though fighting for her life while pointing at Xavier with a look of disbelief on her face.“Don’t—don’t tell me you’re actually going to treat my grandfather with such a ridiculous and useless skill such as an acupuncture technique?” she gasped, and the crowd, upon hearing her, finally snapped out of their reverie“This…” they muttered blankly before their eyes widened with disbelief.“To think I was completely mesmerized just now, thinking I was witnessing some sort of magical event!” A young man abruptly gasps.“Aish! I’m so aggrieved. I thought he would suddenly reveal himself to be someone we had all underestimated, but he’s just another one of those worthless acupunctur
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 034 – The Old Man Coming Back To Life
*****The place that was filled with the murmurs of the crowd and Cassandra's furious cries a second ago fell into a hushed silence in an instant and everyone gaped dumbly as if they had just seen a real-life alien.They stared at the old man, whom they had all assumed had already lost his life at Xavier's hands in a trance.‘Am I dreaming?’ ‘Did a ghost just come back to life?’ Many people thought blankly in stupefaction, and just at that moment, the old man who had just opened his eyes slowly sat up and amidst the stunned gazes, he sat in a lotus position and shut his eyes, appearing enigmatic in an instant.Everyone was further perplexed by the old man’s actions and they exchanged bewildered glances, trying to make sense of what was happening.‘He doesn’t look like the person on death’s door a moment ago.’ ‘Why does he look completely different from the dying old man from earlier?’ they all wondered and then slowly turned their gaze to Xavier.‘Could it be that he actuall
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 035 – The Old Man’s Identity
*****Xavier, acting as though he hadn't just performed a miracle that would have made other doctors in the world become arrogant merely stared at the Old man, looking unfazed at the face of his appreciation.You…” He opened his mouth, wanting to tell the old man that there was no need to thank him, as he had only helped out of a casual impulse. But before he could get the words out of his mouth, Cassandra, who had been utterly stunned by her grandfather’s actions, rushed over and glared fiercely at Xavier before turning to her grandfather with a look of displeasure.“How can you be thanking this con artist who almost took your life, Grandfather?” she demanded with unhidden anger.The Patriarch of the Blackwood family was taken aback by his precious granddaughter’s words, then he glared at her, ready to chastise her. But before he could say anything, she continued.“Do you even know that this… this fraud and faker actually dared to stab your heart with needles, worsening your co
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 036 – Power of a First-Rank Family
*****The crowd's jaws dropped and their eyes widened as though trying to pop out of their sockets, gaping at the person who had just revealed the old man’s identity.This moment of shock, however, only lasted briefly before everyone slowly turned their gazes toward the old man and his granddaughter.Although the crowd had initially sensed that the grandfather-granddaughter duo wasn’t ordinary—especially after knowing that they own bodyguards, something very uncommon in the city—they had never expected their identity to be to this extent and be this scary.After all, who in Riverton City doesn’t know about the one and only prominent Blackwood Family? None.…Like every other place, families in Riverton City are also classified into various ranks, starting from the ordinary-ranked families to the first-rank families, and in between, there are several other ranks, each progressively harder to attain than the previous.In fact, many families have been stuck in the ordinary rank si
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 037 – The Infuriated and Confused Crowd
*****Everyone stared in a trance at Xavier for what felt like an eternity after hearing his casual words, unable to believe their eyes as he had casually treated the card—an item that anyone else in the city would have revered like a heirloom. if ever gotten, then the crowd exchanged bewildered glances.“Did—did he actually just…?” someone gasped in disbelief after a moment.They were not only stunned that Xavier had treated the life-changing gift casually, but he had arrogantly acted as though it wasn't anything special, yet accepted it.“Ah! I want to kill him! I want to kill this bastard!” the crowd finally cried out in fury, convinced that Xavier was merely pretending to be mysterious.Only god knew how they would have reacted if they were to know that Xavier had truly not taken the present to heart and he had only accepted the old man’s goodwill in order to avoid disappointing him.Even Cassandra was seething with rage right now, too furious to find any words to express he

Chapter 469 – A Bragging-like Response
*****For a few seconds after the ladies were gone, a stillness blanketed the family.No one spoke, no one reacted, and then suddenly, a soft, innocent voice broke through the silence like a gentle ripple across a calm lake.“Grandma?”The three adults jolted slightly and glanced down.Little Lola stood between them, her big, round eyes blinking up at Sarah with visible concern.“Why did that beautiful big sister’s face suddenly turn red? Is she feeling unwell?” she asked earnestly, her voice laced with concern and pure curiosity.In the following second…Cough! Cough!All three adults choked simultaneously on air, clearly caught off guard by the child’s pointed observation. They exchanged mortified glances, unsure of how to respond.Sarah coughed again, then quickly composed herself. “Ah, sweetheart… I think the weather was a bit too warm for her, that’s all,” she said, forcing a smile.Little Lola, however, tilted her head thoughtfully. “But the weather’s kinda cold thoug
Chapter 468 – Miss Aria’s Peculiar Feeling
*****Still, amidst the bustling activity of the luxury shopping complex’s parking lot, where high-end vehicles glistened like jewels under the soft glow of the setting sun, Miss Aria remained motionless, her eyes fixed on Xavier as though entranced.A peculiar feeling stirred within her, one she hadn’t experienced before in her life.Should she call it curiosity? No, it seemed to be beyond that. Should she call it love? NoWhile she had never fallen in love before, she understood perfectly that what she was feeling wasn’t love. So, what could it be?On the other hand, Xavier, acutely aware of Aria’s lingering gaze on himself, turned his head slightly and met her eyes for a fleeting second. Then his brows furrowed subtly.‘What’s with that look?’ he mused in silence, a flicker of confusion dancing across his features. Yet, rather than dwell on it, he dismissed the thought and returned to his internal deliberations.‘Not owning a car really is a hassle…’ Xavier scowled to hims
Chapter 466 – A Misunderstanding
*****By the time the family of four finally departed from the High Fashion boutique, with both Amelia and Miss Aria personally escorting them to the exit, the sun had begun to dip low on the horizon.It was early evening, close to four o’clock, and golden light spilled across the luxurious parking lot, casting elongated shadows on the polished pavement.“May I ask where your vehicle is parked? I’d like to help load these,” Amelia inquired politely, her arms brimming with shopping bags filled to the top with the few high-end clothes Xavier had casually requested.The family had repeatedly insisted that she need not concern herself, saying they would handle the bags themselves. However, both Amelia and her supervisor had firmly declined that offer, practically pleading for the privilege of serving them just a little more.With no choice left, the family had reluctantly accepted their help.As Amelia glanced around the rows of gleaming, top-of-the-line vehicles parked outside, Xav
Chapter 466 – Rewards for Good Actions II
*****“You are hereby fired!” Miss Lin spat, her entire being brimming with hatred, barely contained rage and unwillingness.“I’ll contact the higher-ups personally after I leave here and report your actions today. Your conduct today was inexcusable!”Roxie and the others: “…”They stood like statues, their faces blank and their spirits crushed, unable to form even a whisper of protest.“And don’t expect even a cent of compensation, but instead legal consequences of your actions,” Miss Lin spat bitterly before whirling around and storming off, her heels pounding the floor with fury.As she stomped away, Miss Aria’s expression twitched into a sly, mischievous smile.“Sister Lin,” she called softly.Lin paused mid-step, glancing back with weary dread.Aria’s grin deepened. “Since your store played such a ‘pivotal’ role in creating this opportunity for me, why don’t you wait for me outside? I’ll take you to dinner later… as a gesture of appreciation.”Lin stumbled and almost vo
Chapter 465 – Rewards for Good Actions
*****Upon hearing her supervisor's solemn words, Amelia’s lips parted ever so slightly, and a sharp tremor coursed through her chest, her heartbeat stumbling for a brief moment.An uneasy flutter danced in her stomach, her breath catching. What message could warrant such a serious tone?“For maintaining professional integrity, for showing respect to the client without prejudice, and for upholding the conduct befitting a representative of our organization—without ever doubting the customer's financial capability—I have been instructed to express the gratitude of High Fashion’s upper management,” Aria declared, her voice steady, resonant, and dignified.‘That…’The words struck like lightning.Miss Lin, Roxie, and every employee present felt as though they'd been slapped across the face with ice.Although Aria hadn’t directly named anyone, her message was a mirror that reflected their disgrace with agonizing clarity.Unbothered by their visible shame, Miss Aria turned her tranq
Chapter 464 – The Crowd Finally Accepting Their Defeat
*****Everyone stared, slack-jawed from Xavier to Miss Aria, her words echoing endlessly in their minds.Yet, seemingly unfazed, Aria only gazed calmly at Xavier, waiting for his reaction.But...She would be waiting forever, because, as it turned out, Xavier wasn't going to react at all.Of course, Xavier wasn’t a fool.How could he not understand what the higher-ups of High Fashion were trying to do?They were obviously desperately trying to tie down a big fish, unwilling to let the customer who had just spent fifty million dollars walk away scot-free.What stupid "sole control rights"? What "50% off every future purchase"?All of it — every so-called benefit — was just bait to ensure Xavier would make High Fashion his exclusive brand for spending, splurging, and showing off his wealth.However, it seemed Xavier was the only one who immediately grasped this, or... no, everyone else understood it too.They were just simply too blinded by the sheer flex.After all, what ki
Chapter 463 – A True King
*****"The volume of items you purchased is so enormous that… that it will take more than a full day just to pack them. Moreover, we’ll need a long truck to transport everything."Dead silence fell over the room once again, and every heart skipped a beat.'The volume of the purchased items wouldn't even fit in regular transport.'‘If that wasn't the ultimate flex, then what was?’Around him, the women, who moments ago had sneered and laughed, were now gazing at Xavier with hearts in their eyes, their stares practically devouring him.‘So handsome! So powerful!’Daisy, the young lady who had been mocked in the Dior store earlier for not knowing about High Fashion, could barely restrain herself.Her heart hammered wildly against her ribs as she fantasized about throwing herself into Xavier’s arms.Their boyfriends, their male companions, noticed this shift, and their faces turned an ugly shade of green.But none of them dared to voice their anger.Not a single one, because th
Chapter 462 – The Best Form of Revenge
*****Meanwhile, Miss Lin, the elegant Dior’s supervisor.Right now, her face was pale, her usually sharp eyes dulled with regret.She had instantly believed Roxie's story and had suggested Amelia’s firing without a second thought—all because she, too, had assumed Xavier was a pauper unworthy of patience.‘Would things have been different if I hadn't judged him so quickly?’ The thought gnawed at her, biting into her pride, her stomach churning.Yet no tears came. Only a deep, hollow sense of dread.Meanwhile, standing just a few steps away, Aria Wynn—the unflappable supervisor of High Fashion—was no better.For the first time in her professional life, her mind was in chaos.Aria, who had built her reputation on her calm, her poise, and her unshakable demeanor, was now battling the overwhelming urge to simply collapse into a chair.She tried everything to steady herself—deep breaths, mental chants, tightening her fists—but nothing worked.Finally, she gave up.Instead, she s
Chapter 461 – All Pleading For Forgiveness
*****Never in her life had Roxie imagined she would one day kneel down in public, kowtowing, groveling, and begging at someone’s feet—much less offering herself as a servant.Yet here she was.And the worst part?She hadn’t even realized it.If anything, right now, Roxie was trapped in a storm of devastation, pain, and unbearable regret, unable to comprehend how things had spiraled so horrifically out of control.Just some minutes ago, Xavier and his parents had walked into her store of their own volition… calm, polite, and willing to spend their money there.But she and everyone there, blinded by prejudice and contempt for anyone who looked poor, had chased the family of four away as though they were nothing but filth tarnishing the presence of the wealthy ones.And now?Not only had she lost the opportunity to earn a million and a half dollars in commission alone, but she had also thrown away the chance for a promotion she had always longed for—dreamed of.No, worse.She
