Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 183
*****Xavier and Darius frowned at this scene. But before they could react, however, the landlord waved dismissively, his tone dripping with derision.“I’ve already wasted more than enough time on you pests tonight, and If I weren’t already so tired, I would have loved to learn to source of your arrogance that made a worm like yourself think you can be rude to me. But lucky for you, I value my sleep more than your existence.” he uttered, and then glared venomously at Xavier for a moment, really regretting that he couldn’t teach him a lesson he would never forget.The old man snorted at this and then yawned again and eventually, his gaze shifted to Selene, who was still kneeling on the ground.“And you!” he barked, his voice sharp and cold, making Selene flinch, her face pale as she subconsciously looked up.“You bitch dared to sell me out and still had the audacity to call that useless piece of garbage your husband even though you have already agreed to be my concubine?” he fumed
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 184
*****Although Xavier’s voice was so calm, emotionless, and quiet, it managed to cut through the place as though it were a hot knife, cutting through a nylon, causing all hearts to skip a beat.All except Darius continued gaping dazedly at him, their mouths wide agape as though wanting to catch swarms of bees, all of them finding it difficult to believe their ears.This silence of shock lasted for what felt like an eternity, before eventually;“Does… does that mean he’s not backing down? Even after the landlord had explicitly said he wouldn’t punish him?” A voice dripping with disbelief echoed, jolting everyone back to their senses and they hurriedly shut their mouths and exchanged dumbstruck gazes.Everyone began to murmur, while the landlord and Selene…Although the silence had already been shattered, the two refused to return to their senses, both still gaping at Xavier in stunned silence.‘He… did he really mean his words?’‘Is he going to challenge the landlord even after
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 185
*****Although several moments had passed since Selene had leveled her accusation against Xavier, no one in the crowd had yet regained their composure.The air continued hanging heavy with disbelief as their gazes fixed on her, all of them too stunned and unable to reconcile her words with what they had just witnessed.All the neighbors, apart from Selene and the cops had been in front of the landlord when the incident occurred, and they had clearly seen that Xavier hadn’t even laid a single finger on the man, yet….Their earlier sympathy for Xavier wasn’t due to any thinking he had actually touched the obese old man. Rather, it stemmed from their shared understanding of the landlord’s shameless nature and the certainty that he would cripple Xavier, accusing him of losing his own face.However, none of them could have anticipated that Selene would turn on Xavier first, accusing him even before the landlord had a chance to return to his senses and order the pummeling.Various tho
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 186
*****Ever since the landlord had risen from humble beginnings to a life of privilege, all thanks to his son's influence, he had never endured a humiliation as deep as the one he faced today. Even falling to his butt in the grimy dirt of the street—a place he despised with every ounce of his being.To grasp the depth of his disgust and aversion for the street's ground, one only needed to consider his peculiar routine of always bringing two pairs of shoes whenever coming.The first pair, worn from home, was always exchanged upon arrival for a second pair reserved solely for treading the accursed street.And before departing, he would always discard and burn the second pair, never wearing them again, as if even a moment's reuse would be akin to walking in filth. Yet, despite all these meticulous precautions, today, he had fallen onto the very ground he deemed unworthy of even his disposable shoes.If Xavier’s earlier attitude, which had first scared him had felt like a slap to his
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 187
*****Like everyone else, Selene wasn’t able to react for a moment after hearing the landlord’s chilling order. The weight of it sank in slowly, but deeply.This was why she had turned on Xavier earlier even though she was well aware he was only fighting on behalf of herself and her husband.As earlier stated, in Riverton City, God’s Time is her number one priority and she loves him above anything else, even herself.…She continued standing in a trance, unable to react for what felt like an eternity, the words reverberating nonstop in her ears until eventually, she found her voice back.“You… you can’t do this,” she stuttered, the desperation and fear in her voice slicing through the silence that had settled over the street, and upon hearing her, a wicked, malicious grin crept over the landlord’s face.“I can’t?” He mused mischievously, his tone dripping with menace, making Selene’s heart shake in her chest.“That’s… that’s not what I mean.” She faltered, her panic rising in
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 188
*****“Get out of the way, ma’am!” the two cops, watching Selene growled, their glares fierce as though wanting to stomp her.They were initially seething with rage at losing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and now, someone even dared to bar their path.They wanted to transfer their aggression at Selene, but they couldn’t, given how the fat old landlord was interested in her, and Selene understood this, which was why she had dared to block their path in the first place.Without bothering to listen to them, she hurriedly turned a desperate, pleading stare at the old landlord.“Didn’t… didn’t you say you were tired? That you wanted to consume our new relationship and sleep? Please, let’s… let’s leave now. He… he will die if even a single shove were to land on him again!” She sobbed with pure anguish, her emotions managing to reach the depth of almost all hearts, making the neighbors’ hearts clench in pity and sympathy for her.In the blink of an eye, every person forgot abo
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 189
*****It was as if the souls of everyone present had been ripped from their bodies right now, leaving behind lifeless bodies.No one moved, not the landlord, not Selene, not the two still-baffled officers, and the stunned crowd.Every single person other than Darius had been so sure that Xavier was finished—that he’d be pummeled into an unrecognizable heap, or, if fortune favored him, left a cripple. But the reality before them was a brutal contradiction.Their eyes continued darting from the four immobile bodies on the ground to Xavier, who continued standing calm and unarmed, and back again, bewilderment twisting their faces. At the same time, their minds raced with different questions they had no idea how to voice.This suspended moment seemed to drag on for what felt like a torturous eternity until, eventually,“I’ve always heard that people tend to become nice once they are nearing their graves,” a sudden calm, emotionless, and unhurried voice echoed, slicing through the si
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 190
*****It took only a short moment for the two officers, who had been broken-hearted about their poor luck to realize the task given to them, and with this, their entire being became filled with joy.‘Hehehe… the patient dog does eat the fat bone,’ one of them thought joyfully, the two sending mocking gazes at their four unmoving colleagues and then looking playfully at Xavier for a second, before suddenly;"He’s mine!" the larger of the two, who had wanted to attack Xavier a moment ago, growled, his humiliation from earlier fueling his fury, then not waiting for his partner’s response, he lunged at Xavier, his movements wild and filled with vicious intent.“This…” the second officer became furious and then…“Not if I get him first!” he snapped, charging after his colleague with rage.Perhaps the two were blinded by the lure of the reward or just too stupid, but they never bothered thinking about what had happened to their four colleagues again after the mission had been transfer

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
