The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 77

Sitting in the back seat, Harrison, stiff as a board, said coldly, "Drive."

"I'm not your chauffeur, you know." As Alexander started the engine and hit the gas, he retorted, "I got

up at the crack of dawn to drive you, and not only do you not thank me, but you're also giving me the

cold shoulder. If I'd known, I would've had Anthony drive you instead."

Harrison didn't respond.

He glanced in the rear view mirror, hoping to catch one last glimpse of Roxanne.

But Roxanne's slender figure had already disappeared.

In the quiet alleyway at five in the morning, there was no one in sight, and many shop doors were

tightly shut.

Harrison couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Alexander subtly observed his expression through the rear view mirror, then glanced back at the mirror

and chuckled, "What's the matter, feeling bummed because Roxanne left in a hurry and didn't wave

goodbye as your car pulled away?"

"You're reading too much into it." Harrison shifted his gaze away from the mirror.

"What's with the furrowed brows, then?" Alexander teased.

Harrison remained silent.

Alexander laughed, "That's just like you, clamming up when called out on your feelings."

He continued, "Harrison, you insisted that I drive you to the airport because you said you had

something important to tell me. What is it?"

"While I'm away, keep an eye on Oliver for me."

"Which Oliver?"

"Chloe's husband and her business partner at the company."

"Why do I need to keep an eye on him?"

"Because he's the reason Roxanne and I got married in a hurry."

"Because of him?"

"He's been harassing Roxanne because he thinks she's pretty."

"So, you're saying Roxanne married you to escape this guy?"

Indeed.

Being constantly harassed by her best friend's husband was a real headache for Roxanne.

But Alexander was confused and asked, "But that doesn't mean Roxanne had to rush into marrying

someone to prove her innocence."

"I don't understand her thinking either." Harrison replied.

Alexander laughed, "Actually, Harrison, this is a blessing in disguise. If Oliver hadn't harassed

Roxanne, you wouldn't have had the chance to marry her."

Harrison asked, "So you're saying I should be grateful to that despicable man?"

"Don't waste your time on him. I'll have someone keep a close eye on him."

"I want you to do it personally."

"Why me? You know I'll be even busier when you're away on your business trip."

Harrison then told Alexander about Oliver's domestic violence towards Chloe.

Upon hearing that, Alexander was furious, "Isn't a husband supposed to cherish his wife? How could

that bastard hit a woman?"

Alexander was well-known as a loving husband.

He believed that not only should a man cherish and respect his wife, but he should also pamper her,

even when she's being unreasonable.

Because a wife was the one who risked her life and endured pain to bear their children. She deserved

unconditional love.

And yet, Oliver, that low life, not only failed to appreciate Chloe for giving birth to their two children but

also abused her?

If Alexander ever met such a man, he'd definitely teach him a lesson.

Such behavior was a disgrace to all men.

Harrison continued, "Chloe and Oliver are in the midst of a divorce. Oliver blames Roxanne for stirring

things up. He'll be released from detention in a few days. Keep an eye on him."

Just in case anything unexpected happened.

After all, Oliver had been violent before, even causing Chloe's eyes to swell.

If he held a grudge and decided to take revenge not only on Chloe but also on Roxanne, what then?

Harrison wouldn't be able to rest easy in London.

"Don't worry. Since you've asked, I'll definitely make time to keep an eye on him personally."

Moreover, that kind of man had already aroused Alexander's anger.

If he ever crossed paths with him, he'd definitely give him a piece of his mind.

Alexander had his ways. He never went easy on anyone when it came to teaching them a lesson.

After sending Harrison off, Roxanne went back home to tidy up the house, had breakfast, and then

headed to the office.

She arrived early, thinking that no one would be there yet, but to her surprise, Chloe was even earlier.

Chloe was sitting in front of her computer, munching on a sandwich while typing with one hand.

"Chloe, your face is still bruised. Why did you come into the office? Aren't you afraid of people seeing?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Should I hide just because I've been abused?"

She was determined to divorce Oliver. She might lose the house after the divorce, but she had to gain

custody of the children.

Raising children required a lot of money in the future, so she had to work.

Whether the road ahead was smooth or bumpy, she had to rely on herself.

Although Roxanne felt sorry for Chloe, she admired her determination.

Not many women would have worked so hard right after being abused.

"Chloe, one day, you'll thank yourself for being so hardworking now."

"Anne, if there's anyone to thank, it's you. You've been with me all this time. I'm so touched."

Around ten o'clock, Chloe received a call from Sophia.

As soon as she picked up, Sophia's shrill voice came through the receiver.

"Chloe, you wicked woman! You threw out my mom's luggage, rented out the house, and even got

Oliver locked up. How cruel can you be? Are you tired of living? I'll have Oliver divorce you; you believe

me?"

Chloe felt a stabbing pain in her stomach.

Was Sophia blind?

"Didn't you see that Oliver was the one who beat me up first? What's the use of keeping a man who

abuses his wife? And it's not him who's going to divorce me. Once he gets out of detention, I'm going to

divorce him. I'm done with him."

"You, a woman who has given birth to two children, dare to talk about divorce with my brother? Have

you looked in the mirror lately?"

Not wanting to listen to Sophia's nonsense, Chloe hung up the phone.

Then, she blocked Sophia's number, and blocked Oliver's other sister, Ava and Charlotte too.

None of the folks in the Lewis family were any good.

At the Lewis family's place.

Charlotte asked, "Why did she hang up? Wasn't she supposed to negotiate with the police station to

release Oliver?"

Sophia replied, "That wretched woman, she said she wants a divorce from Oliver."

Charlotte asked, "Her? After the divorce, she will become an unwelcome person. And she dared to

initiate the divorce?"

Sophia said, "I feel like she really wants to divorce Oliver this time."

Charlotte responded, "If she dares to divorce Oliver, then she should compensate for his losses and

return the money she conned from me. No payback, no divorce."

Sophia agreed, "Exactly. Our Oliver wasted so many years on her. If she wants a divorce, she must pay

up. We can't let Chloe off easy."

Meanwhile, on Harrison's private double-decker plane.

In the conference room, after a three-hour meeting, Harrison told everyone to take a break.

The flight attendants brought breakfast, serving each of the senior managers in turn.

But Harrison said, "I don't need mine; please take it away, thanks!"

One of the shareholders, Samuel Carter, picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip, looking at

Harrison, "Harrison, you didn't have breakfast. You're not having coffee either. Aren't you hungry?"

"I had a lot for breakfast; my wife made me too much. I'm still full," Harrison stood up.

He was about to work out in the plane's gym for a bit, "The meeting will continue in half an hour."

Samuel joked, "Harrison, being a married man really is different. You're just like Alexander, showing off

your happiness in front of us singles."

"Want to show off too?" Harrison raised an eyebrow, looking at Samuel, who was eating his toast, "You

need a wife first."

Samuel chuckled helplessly, "Yes, yes, yes, I don't have a wife; you have a wife. Happy now?"
