Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 174
*****“This… this scoundrel!” The landlord, who had originally been relishing the idea of the servants fighting amongst themselves before returning to their obedient servitude, suddenly froze.His hands trembled and then very slowly, his smug expression began to melt into one of pure, unrestrained fury.“Don’t listen to that old fool!” he bellowed, his voice sharp and cutting, and as soon as it sounded, all gazes turned to him.“I’m offering you miserab… you guys a week’s worth of rice! Do you think such an opportunity will ever come your way again? Not in your wretched… in your lives if you were to miss it now!”“This…” The crowd hesitated, their hearts wavering once more.The embers of defiance that had begun to glow moments ago began to flicker after hearing the obese landlord’s words, threatening to die out.Seeing this, as the crowd’s resolve began to crumble at a speed faster than eyes, despair washed over Elliot and his father.“Please guys, don’t…” Elliot’s father star
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 175
*****The neighbors, most of whom hadn’t eaten in days—some in days, and others in weeks, descended into a chaotic frenzy.They continued shoving, clawing, and striking at each other with raw desperation and this frenzy raged on for what felt like an eternity, a tangle of limbs and cries, as if survival depended on it.Eventually, it ended. But by then the ground was completely strewn with bodies, weak and bloodied.The once-unified neighbors, who had stood together crying for justice a moment ago, were now reduced to two skeletal figures of Elliot and his father, both standing, looking pale as ghosts, while the rest lay sprawled around them, all writhing and groaning in pure agony.It was clear that the poor crowds had used every single thing they had in this fight, all for the hope of securing a month's worth of rice and half a cow, and absolutely no one had yielded for the other. And the result was a complete defeat for them all.That’s right.Everyone, no matter what appear
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 176
*****Time seemed to stretch endlessly in the suffocating darkness of the late night, yet no one moved or spoke, instead, the weight of realization continued to bore down on the crowd like a suffocating shroud.The dullest among them had already understood the cruel game that had just unfolded—they had been nothing more than pawns in the landlord's twisted scheme.They all continued staring unfocused at the smug, oversized figure as he basked in his own malice. His grin, brimming with pride and scorn, burned into their minds.Seconds felt like hours until, at last;“Why... why?”An abrupt, pitiful cry echoed through the night, completely shattering the stillness, and in the following second, every pair of bloodshot eyes focused on the landlord, their expressions a mixture of despair, simmering fury, and hatred.Meanwhile, hearing the question, the landlord’s lips raised at one end.“Tch. Took you fools long enough to ask,” he sneered, his voice dripping with disdain, and then
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 177
***** The voice inquired coldly, greatly startling everyone and halting the police officers in their tracks. In the next second, all heads traced the voice, only to find Selene still crouched beside her husband, her body trembling with unrestrained fury. Right now, her crimson eyes which were completely focused on the landlord burned with hatred, her teeth grinding as though she couldn’t wait to crush him into dust with her sheer will alone. ‘This…’ the landlord’s heart skipped a beat at this sight and his eyes narrowed, but he was already used to a gaze like this, which only turns him on when it comes from the woman he’s interested in. A sly smirk quickly replaced his surprise and then; Yes?” he drawled, his tone laced with amusement and mischievousness. Hearing the response, Selene forced a deep breath, then sent a gaze filled with millions of unspoken words and emotions at her still-unconscious husband, she looked back at the landlord, and then clenched her teet
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 178
*****Although Darius’s men couldn’t determine God’s Time’s precise location—a fact that had deeply frustrated Xavier, knowing he could have done better if time hadn’t been against him—the person had identified the general area, and thinking that the rest would be easy from there, Xavier had informed Darius to drive him there.Unfortunately, however, neither of them could have anticipated what awaited them after nearly an hour's drive from the Blackwood estate.While Xavier had known that the old man might not be able to afford an apartment in a high-end neighborhood, he had never in his wildest dream anticipated where they had ended, a scene that had made his chest tighten, for it was nothing but a desolation.At first glance, they thought they’d arrived at a forsaken wasteland, an assumption that had sent Darius into a seething fury, making him immediately contact the tracking team, angrily scolding them for their incompetence and demanding a thorough re-check of the coordinates
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 179
*****“This…”For a brief, agonizing moment, the scene outside plunged into an eerie stillness, the only sound in the place, being Selene’s heart-wrenching sobs, which continued piercing through the suffocating night, her cries pulling every eye toward her trembling figure.This silence seemed to drag on, heavy and uncomfortable for what felt like an eternity before eventually, the crowd began to shift their gazes—first to Xavier, then back to Selene, uncertainty and unease etched on their faces, until finally…“Sigh.”The neighbors, still sprawled in their blood and on their battered bodies, exchanged glances filled with bitter regret and helplessness, each person knowing deep down that no authority, not even a senior officer, would be able to challenge the iron grip the landlord held over this wretched place.As for Selene, not knowing what everyone where thinking, continued weeping desperately and louder, pleading for Xavier to help her.She had been convinced that Xavier wa
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 180
*****For a long, tense moment after Xavier was done speaking, no one was able to react. They continued gawking at him in a stunned silence, his calm yet weighty words reverberating like a divine decree through the air.Although his words seemed casual, they carried the weight of something spoken by a divine being, full of promise, power, and an unbreakable oath.It was as if the place, despite being filled with nearly a hundred people, was in complete silence—so still that the sound of an ant moving could be heard by everyone. This silence seemed to last forever, but eventually...“What a grand claim,” a mocking voice suddenly cut through, dripping with derision, deeply startling everyone, and upon looking, it belonged to the landlord, who was currently gazing at Xavier as though he were a clown right now.Without changing his expression, Xavier met the old man's gaze, and in the next moment, the old man continued."Just by looking at your cheap clothes, something I wouldn’t ev
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 181
*****Without pausing or hesitating, the officer prepared to strike Xavier, thickening the air with dread and causing everyone's hearts to tremble, especially Selene’s.She could already foresee the inevitable—that the same brutal beating that had been inflicted upon her husband was about to claim another victim, her husband's friend.Desperation surged through her in an instant and she subconsciously raised a trembling hand, ready to plead for Xavier’s life.Tears blurred her vision as she opened her mouth to cry out, but just then, however;“Stand down.”A sudden voice echoed, slicing through the tension like a whip.Although it was casual, almost playful, it seemed to carry an undercurrent of authority that directly silenced the chaos, also making the officer, who was on the verge of reaching Xavier stop in his tracks.He had been planning to make a good impression of himself from the landlord, thereby getting one step ahead of his colleague, but now…A sudden chill seemed

Chapter 481– A Solved Puzzle, The Truth Behind Little Lola
*****[ Previously promised chapter. ]…..Xavier wasn’t the only one staggered beyond comprehension after hearing Vidor’s vicious and venomous response to his question.Every single soul present stood motionless, paralyzed by disbelief.It was as if thunder had struck and left their minds smoldering as Vidor’s words reverberated like the echo of a gunshot, searing through the air with ruthless clarity.The one most shaken… utterly demolished was none other than Little Lola.Though still a child in form, she possessed a mind far more developed than her peers, a maturity shaped not by love or nurture, but by the cruelty life had beaten into her. Her heart had been battered countless times, but never had it shattered so violently before.She gazed at Vidor—her so-called father in a daze, forgetting her earlier terror and apprehension. The man had terrorized her days, robbed her of food, snatched away every coin she ever had, hurled her out into the streets like worthless trash,
Chapter 480 – Madam Tush’s Venonous Words & Successfully Gaslighted
*****“For twenty godforsaken years, I’ve dedicated every breath to you, and yet the first time someone whispers poison in your ear, you turn on me like a rabid dog? You trusted a stranger… a violent, evil mongrel over me?”“I… I didn’t know what to believe—” Master Tush choked, utterly helpless, regretful, and frustrated right now. But before he could finish…“Oh shut up!” his wife snapped at him, her tone now brimming with venom.“You make me sick. You couldn’t even see what was right in front of you! Look at what he did to me! Look at the bruises, the bandages, the blood! And you DARED to hesitate? You call yourself a husband? You don’t deserve to kneel at my feet, much less call me your wife!”Each word was carved into Master Tush’s bloated pride like a jagged dagger. He lowered his head, his entire frame quivering with regret.“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” he muttered, his voice collapsing into itself.But Madam Tush was far from done.Her eyes blazed now… not with grief, bu
Chapter 479 – A Seasoned Manipulator
*****Madam Tush’s limbs began to fail her, her knees buckling as a wave of dread washed over her, crashing into her chest like a tidal wave.She staggered, her spine prickling with icy fear.She had been meticulous… frighteningly so over the years.She had constantly laced every smile, touch, and midnight whisper with deception. For years, she had hidden her betrayal beneath the façade of a devoted and faithful wife, wrapping herself in the illusion of love.She had played her role perfectly so that she would never be caught.She had done every single thing to hide her disgust for her husband, yet now…A violent tremor raced through Madam Tush’s body, and for the briefest moment, a flicker of guilt… raw and damning flashed across the visible part of her heavily made-up face. But then, her heart skipped a frantic beat.‘NOT NOW!’ Her mind screamed at her. ‘I can’t afford a single mistake right now. Not even a flinch nor a tear out of place.’Madam Tush forcefully calmed herse
Chapter 478 – Vidor and Madam Tush’s Terror (Previously promised Bonus Chapter)
*****(Previously promised Bonus Chapter)….Absolutely no one anticipated the venom Xavier spewed so suddenly.Not Master Tush, not the smug guards, not the trembling attendant, not the haughty Madam Tush—Not even Vidor, the worthless excuse of a man, whom Xavier had thrown his question at.They all stood paralyzed, their expressions frozen in time, stunned by the bombshell Xavier had casually dropped like a flaming meteor into their fragile reality.His words continued echoing through the store like a curse, sticking in the air and clearly haunting their thoughts.Seconds ticked by, feeling like eternal minutes.Then—“Wha… what kind of deranged filth just came out of your mouth?!”Both Vidor and Madam Tush shrieked simultaneously, their voices laced with unmistakable panic. It was as if they shared not just the same sin, but the same rotting soul.At that precise moment, both of them were internally crumbling.Vidor’s face was flushed crimson with dread. He knew exact
Chapter 477 – Xavier’s Question
*****Hearing Vidor’s offer, Madam Tush, who was still brimming with revenge, paused for a second, but then her lip curled into a vicious smirk, already imagining the scene painted by Vidor.Master Tush, on the other hand, blinked in surprise, his brow raised in bemused curiosity.‘Isn’t this scum her father?’ he thought.Xavier, meanwhile, narrowed his gaze.Of course, he had recognized Vidor the moment he saw him.How could he forget someone like that?This pathetic excuse for a father, who had always treated his daughter like dirt and filth unworthy of love or care.In fact, Xavier had been planning to sort his busy schedule and find this man… this coward and evil man who deserved nothing but scorn and pain.For a moment, time slowed. No one said a word.Then—Master Tush laughed. A cold, grating chuckle, devoid of humor or sanity.“Oh, this is going to be delightfully twisted,” he sneered. “I was going to make that child bleed regardless of your offer. But… if her path
Chapter 476 – Vidor’s Offer
*****Xavier had never anticipated that chaos would once again arrive during what should have been a simple, quiet purchase. All he had wanted was to buy the herbs, return home, prepare the restorative potion for his parents, and perhaps, for once, rest early.Now, with an aching jaw and nerves fraying at the edges, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.“I’ve had a long, soul-draining day already. I seriously don’t have the time or the patience for any of this idiocy again,” he muttered, his tone cold, heavy, and sharp like a serrated blade—so dark that it made the earlier tension in the room feel like a warm breeze in comparison.“You insolent mutt…”Master Tush’s face twisted into a snarl. His veins bulged, rage pulsing through his oversized frame like molten lava.“What the hell are you worthless meat sacks standing around for?! Break their bones already! Do your damn jobs!” he bellowed, each word saturated with venom.The two guards straightened instantly.Then, wit
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
