Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 055 – Jennifer Trap
*****“This…” Everyone gaped dumbly at Janet, acting as though they hadn’t heard what she just said right.Even Xavier was struck dumb.Although the Amodu family is the same as trash to the current him, he had thought the female manager would have been tempted to get its favor, given its authority as a third-ranked family, but yet…A look of interest abruptly appeared on his face while the pot-bellied manager shook, his stomach trembling from rage.Despite already knowing Janet’s uncaring attitude right from the onset, even he had never expected her to disregard such a free pie from heaven just like that.His breathing became labored as he glared ferociously at her. “What the heck do you think you are doing?” He growled beneath his voice, trembling all over.“You could have at least used this to give me a face if you don’t need any favor!” He added angrily, but Janet, acting as though she couldn’t feel he was about to burst from rage ignored him, her composed and elegant smile
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 056 – The Arrival of a Cold Goddess
*****For a moment, nobody could react, staring dazedly as though time and space had stopped for them.This stillness lingered for a moment before suddenly; “Hahahaha!”Jennifer, who had also been taken aback and thunderstruck by Xavier’s unexpected response erupted with laughter, giggling so hard as though she had just heard the most amusing joke in the universe.“I knew it!” She shrieked loudly, staring at Xavier as though he was one kind of an interesting thing, after which she cast a mockery glance at Janet.“Look who you were defending. Someone who only came to dine and dash. Hahaha!” She jeered.“We warned you he was nothing but a common prisoner who doesn’t belong among normal human beings, but you insisted on defending him. What are you going to do now that you have realized his true nature?” she added further, asking a question that made Janet's face flush slightly with embarrassment.This was the most humiliating thing she had ever felt in her life, and it only grew w
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 057 – An Unexpected Turn of Events for The Crowd
*****The breathing of all the men quickened while the ladies were utterly amazed, seeing this lady, whose beauty was several times above even A-list actresses.“Who is she?” A guy finally whispered quietly, unable to keep his composure again and because the hall was silent at this moment, the question was heard clearly by all, making them gaze at the speaker as though he were an alien.“You—you don’t know Miss Grace, Miss Grace Sky?” A lady inquired with disbelief and upon hearing this name, the guy was stunned.“The same Miss Grace Sky that was just discussed?” He mumbled dazedly, wondering what sort of coincidence had just occurred, and just then, the Pot-bellied manager snapped back to his reality, and his face instantly adopted a fawning expression as he rushed toward the newcomer."I had no idea you’d be visiting today... Welcome, Miss Sky," he said with a deferential tone, his earlier arrogance disappearing completely.“This—” the guy, who was still pondering the level of
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 058 – Jennifer’s Atrocities Revealed
*****The one who shattered the silence was the pot-bellied manager, badly jolting everyone back to reality, but since the question he just asked was what was in their minds, they Instantly stared intently at Grace in utter bewilderment.Grace, seeing all these gazes frowned.She did not appreciate all the stares being directed at her as they made her uncomfortable, but still, knowing the owner was only curious about whom she was addressing, a reason she had no idea about, she subtly nodded her head after a moment before looking back at Xavier.“Let’s go,” she said emotionlessly, and Xavier, who had remained composed and unbothered by everything going on since the beginning nodded his head casually.He glanced at the crowd and finally decided to speak up when suddenly; “Nonsense!”An outcry echoed, breaking the silliness caused by Grace’s response and her subsequent action.Everyone was startled awake and quickly looked at the owner of the furious cry. Behold, it belonged to Je
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 059 – Jennifer & Victor’s Embarrassment
***** “What—what are you talking about?” Jennifer now drenched in buckets of sweat stammered with uneasiness. She had never, not even in her wildest imagination expected Grace to know all she had just exposed, and for this reason, she was enveloped in strong goosebumps while Grace, hearing the question smirked playfully. "I simply stated how you did not only betrayed the savior who defended you but also how you chose to turn your back on him for the very beast he saved you from, and how you decided to slander and defame him," Grace replied, helping the crowd realize they had not misheard her the first time. After saying this, Grace’s expression changed swiftly again, becoming icy and severe, as if she were not the same person who had just smirked, making a strong adrenaline crawl down Jennifer’s spine. “Try this nonsense with me again,” She spat coldly with a threatening tone, then not finishing her sentence, turned toward the elevator and walked away, leaving behind a silenc
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 060 – The Couple’s Evil Plan
*****“Did—did I just hear that idiotic tank of water blacklist my family?” Victor, whose mind suddenly felt empty abruptly stuttered, almost tripping over his own feet.His blood drained in an instant and he felt he might faint, knowing how massively this would affect him later.As for Jennifer, she couldn't have been any paler than she already was—her face was ghostly white.Ever since she and Victor had started dating, tonight was the first time he had invited her to dine at the restaurant she had long dreamed of visiting, and she had been boasting about this night for weeks. She had planned to take dozens of photos, post them on all her social media accounts, and flaunt them, but now...“It—it was that loser’s fault!” she suddenly spat viciously, her teeth clenched tightly against each other, and her eyes nearly blazing with hatred.“I—I want to destroy him! I—I want to kill him!” She forced out hysterically through gritted teeth, trembling all over as she recalled all th
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 061 – An Unexpected Marriage Proposal
*****Inside a VIP dining lounge."Thank you." Xavier, unaware that his heartless ex-girlfriend and Victor had already plotted his downfall, suddenly spoke sincerely, gazing at Grace with an expression that was hard to read.Grace, hearing Xavier's words, which felt so genuine they seemed to be the most sincere words she had ever heard in her life, paused briefly, staring back at him, but then her countenance turned icy-cold again."Don’t mention it," she replied dismissively, before gently and elegantly taking her seat.Xavier, hearing her question remained silent for a second before shaking his head."This is the second time you've helped me today, and neither was a small matter," he admitted with a sigh, staring unflinchingly at the icy-cold beauty before him.Although Xavier could have managed on his own in both situations, Grace’s assistance had saved him a great deal of time and stress, so, he recognized that he owed her for that, and since he disliked feeling indebted, h
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 062 – Conclusion
***** The document Grace handed to Xavier was a marriage contract proposal, detailing various clauses, including but not limited to Xavier's responsibilities within the marriage and what he would gain at the end if he agreed to it. Xavier read the contract more than once to make sure he hadn’t misread it, but even then, he remained utterly perplexed. “Why though?” He asked, his expression puzzled. “Why?” Grace mumbled blankly to herself, seeing his confused face after which she let out a small sigh. "This is the only way I can save myself," she explained, which only baffled Xavier further. Grace took a deep breath, her face blank and detached. "There’s a massive project my family is eager to win because it could elevate its position within the second rank," she began, pausing briefly to make sure Xavier was following before continuing in a calm, measured tone. "But... it's a project that many families are vying for, particularly those supported by first-rank powerhouses, and sin

Chapter 475 – The Vicious Couple
*****The icy venom laced in Master Tush’s words, combined with the suffocating wave of murderous intent hanging in the air, made Xavier pause, appearing utterly perplexed at this moment.Before him stood an absurd scene—one that would’ve been hilarious had it not been soaked in genuine seriousness.On one side was a woman wrapped head-to-toe in white bandages like a half-burnt mummy, and beside him was a morbidly obese middle-aged man dressed entirely in gaudy gold, from his overstuffed silk robes to his glittering loafers that screamed nouveau riche.For a moment, Xavier could only blink.‘What the hell are these two? Two villains cosplay? Are they role-playing Pharaoh and Queen of Gluttony?’ he thought sarcastically, but the heaviness in the air told him it was no joke.That suffocating pressure… the bone-chilling bloodlust…They were serious.Deadly serious.But then suddenly, a memory clicked.He vaguely recalled seeing a young thug earlier, upon walking into the store
Chapter 474 – Madam Tush’s Paic
*****Just as Madam Tush was going to take matters into her own hands… literally:“Wife, I beg of you—please,” Master Tush gasped, panting as though he’d just clawed his way out of a collapsed mine.Sweat poured from his bloated face like a ruptured dam, soaking the collar of his tailored shirt as his massive chest heaved up and down, threatening to split his ribs.Madam Tush paused, then twisted her neck toward her husband, her gaze as sharp as a serpent's fang.Her entire being radiated blistering malice, her hatred boiling over like molten steel. Despite her bandaged frame and the façade of injury, her eyes burned with one singular obsession—revenge.“Don’t you dare try to stop me!” she snarled aggressively, her voice coarse and jagged like broken glass.Master Tush froze at the venom in his wife’s voice. He was stunned momentarily. But then he exhaled a frustrated breath that trembled through his thick lips.“I know what they did was disgraceful. I know you were humiliated
Chapter 473 - Madam Tush’s Fury
*****Meanwhile, unaware of the hell that had just been unleashed and fast approaching him, Xavier stood quietly inside the city's largest herbal emporium, side by side with the delicately dressed Little Lola.She looked like a porcelain princess—doll-like in appearance, innocent in demeanor. Standing close to Xavier, her tiny fingers clutched the hem of his shirt gently.Xavier, however, had completely lost his usual composure. The calm, collected aura that typically surrounded him had vanished, replaced by a look of awe and unfiltered desire.His sharp eyes scanned every shelf, every ornate cabinet, and every diagram plastered across the walls. The illustrations of rare herbs—from the commonly known to the mythical—danced before him.But it wasn’t the visuals that had stolen his attention.It was the smell.The store was suffused with the concentrated fragrance of ancient flora—earthy, rich, medicinal.It was soothing yet invigorating, the kind of scent that made one’s blood
Chapter 472 – Vidor’s Relief and Plan for Revenge
*****Still, inside the lavish, oppressively decadent office, a suffocating silence hung like a storm cloud as all eyes locked onto the trembling thug who had just barged in.Every breath felt frozen, and every heartbeat deafening. No one moved, no one blinked. And the air seemed to have solidified, trapping everyone in an eerie still frame.They found it hard to process his words for a moment until finally…“Did… did you just say…” Vidor’s voice cracked, hoarse, and laced with disbelief, “That the two fugitives… whom we’ve ransacked the entire city for… are here?”His words shattered the silence like a hammer to glass.The thug visibly flinched, and his throat bobbed as he struggled to swallow the lump of fear rising in it.Ultimately, he turned his head very slowly and mechanically, only to be met with an ocean of eyes—every one of them piercing, merciless, and glinting with lethal impatience. The weight of those stares crashed into him like a tsunami.His breath quickened,
Chapter 471 – Vidor’s Desperation
*****Vidor’s mouth opened, but no words would come out. Instead, his throat constricted with panic.He wanted to cry, to scream, to beg—but all he managed to do was a strangled gasp.He had combed through every slum in the entire city.He had hunted every place.And he had mobilized every contact he could get every snitch, and every rat in the underground.Desperation had driven him mad, and he had offered rewards, even going to the extent of offering his own daughter as a prize to anyone who could locate her, offering her body to be used however the finder desired.But even that vile bait had yielded no results.“I… I…” Vidor stammered hoarsely, tears prickling the corners of his eyes.His rage toward his daughter flared even more, and he felt like seeing and tearing her apart.‘That little witch! I should have drowned you to death at birth…’But now, regret was a luxury he could not afford, because kneeling before him was the embodiment of torment, known even in the unde
Chapter 470 – Vidor’s Fear
*****Inside the taxi, neither Sarah nor David could collect their thoughts. Instead, the echo of their son's words reverberated endlessly in their minds.’50 million dollars, pocket change?’That statement alone had shattered every preconceived notion they once held.They had wanted to scold Xavier.They had wanted to scream at him and demand answers.They had been moments away from unleashing a storm of disbelief.Fifty million dollars wasn’t just money—it was legacy. A fortune that some powerful, wealthy families have spent generations building.With that sum, you could purchase your dream mansion, a fleet of exotic cars, even a private jet, and never lift a finger in labor again.That amount could build a business empire… yet their son had spoken of it like it was spare lunch money.He had spoken too casually, calmly, and utterly unshaken.It was as though he were referring to pocket lint.By the time the family of four eventually arrived at Villa Number One, neither p
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
