The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 126

Harrison frowned at the remark.

Alexander said the company's hacker problem this time was a tough nut to crack.

Indeed.

Even though Harrison was the big cheese of the Rodriguez Group, a businessman, he'd studied

computer science during his time studying abroad.

He was also a top-notch hacker.

But he'd never come up against someone like this before, someone who could breach his network.

This was no small potatoes!

Soon, Harrison's phone buzzed with a message. It was a meeting place and time from the other side.

Meanwhile.

At Tranquil Bliss Villa in the Southside Neighborhood,

Dominic had successfully hacked into the city's marriage registration system.

On the screen was the wedding registration photo of Roxanne and Harrison.

Their faces side by side in the system photo was a real eyesore.

The husband was a handsome devil, with rugged features and eyes as sharp and wise as a hawk,

radiating a powerful aura.

You could tell he was a big shot just by looking at him.

And the wife was strikingly beautiful, radiating an air of effortless elegance.

Every time Dominic woke up from a dream in the wee hours, this beautiful face would always appear in

his dreams.

But the dream was never as clear as reality.

Maybe it was because he hadn't seen her for so long, and even the deepest memories could become

blurry.

But Dominic would never forget. His longing only grew stronger.

If Roxanne really did marry a responsible, honest, family-oriented man like Chloe said, Dominic would

wish them well.

But he confirmed again that the man by Roxanne's side was Harrison Rodriguez, the wealthiest man in

Seraphim Haven he'd recently come into contact with. n

He was the big boss behind the Rodriguez Group, with a net worth in the billions.

His business empire spanned real estate, jewelry, hotels, the internet, healthcare, and finance, with five

major management companies, nine primary investment companies, and seventeen listed companies

under his belt.

How could such a filthy rich man marry a plain Jane like Roxanne?

They were like chalk and cheese.

Why on earth would Harrison marry Roxanne?

Dominic was hell-bent on not believing that they got together out of love.

Because Roxanne and Harrison had no connection whatsoever, no chance of any interaction or any

chance for romance.

Could it be that Roxanne had some kind of use to this filthy rich man?

Otherwise, why would the wealthiest man in Seraphim Haven marry a woman with no money, no

power, no background like her?

If his guess was correct, Dominic wouldn't let Harrison get away with it.

To figure out why Harrison married Roxanne, Dominic dug up every piece of information about

Harrison's family, but he couldn't find a single loophole.

This only made Dominic more puzzled.

That night, Dominic spent the whole night at Tranquil Bliss Villa analyzing everything.

Harrison also spent the whole night at East Adjacent Estates thinking.

The next morning at ten o'clock, when the two men met at the agreed-upon clubhouse, they both

looked worn out.

But both of them were dressed to the nines.

Even though Harrison was the wealthiest man in Seraphim Haven, the boss of the Rodriguez Group,

he didn't show any overly dominant attitude.

He didn't need to use a dominant attitude to overpower anyone.

When he walked into the coffee shop, he was calm and composed, radiating a natural aura, his wise

eyes commanding respect at first sight.

Then, he calmly sat down across from Dominic.

Harrison said,

"It's an honor to have such a talented person like Y-Spectre among us."

Dominic initially wanted to stand up to greet him, but since Harrison had already sat down, Dominic

didn't want to beat around the bush.

He handed Harrison the menu, saying, "Let's skip the pleasantries.

Mr. Rodriguez, you don't have to worry about your company's core database being attacked. I've paid

EastTech Consortium double the penalty and terminated the contract. No one but me can hack your

6G-Technology."

Harrison furrowed his brows.

He'd come to meet Y-Spectre today in hopes of luring him away with a higher offer.

But he'd terminated his contract with EastTech Consortium already?

What was he after?

People usually go after fame or fortune, but Harrison had a feeling that Y-Spectre wasn't after either.

Harrison asked straight up, "What do you want?"

Dominic slid the coffee cup the waiter had just brought over to Harrison and smiled faintly,

"I just want to ask Mr. Rodriguez one question."

"Go ahead." Harrison said.

"Mr. Rodriguez, you're the wealthiest man in Seraphim Haven, a billionaire, with a massive business

empire. Why would a super-rich man like you marry a common woman from the bottom rungs of

society?" Dominic asked.

Harrison didn't answer.

The Y-Spectre in front of him was becoming even more of a mystery.

How did he know so much about his marriage?

Dominic asked again, "What value does Roxanne hold for Mr. Rodriguez? What is your purpose in

getting close to her?"

"Do you know my wife?" Harrison asked.

Knew her? That was an understatement!

To Dominic, Roxanne was once his fiancée.

If it weren't for a certain accident, he and Roxanne might even have kids by now.

Every time he brought up the topic, it felt like a knife was twisting in his heart.

Dominic's body slumped a little as he sat at the table.

It seemed like something had collapsed in his eyes.

Harrison's sharp gaze caught Dominic's fleeting emotion, "Did you ever like Roxanne?"

Dominic smiled, "Sir, you just need to answer my question. What does Roxanne mean to you?"

"What if I said that Roxanne and I came together because of fate, would you believe it?" Harrison said.

After a moment of thought, Dominic frowned, skeptical,

"The difference in your social status is vast, there's no way you guys could have met."

"I also find fate magical, but I did marry a woman whose life was completely different from mine, and

she's a good woman." Harrison said.

"Was it really fate that brought you two together?" Dominic asked.

"You can choose not to believe me." Harrison said.

"I hope what you said is true, if I find out you have any intention of using Roxanne, I'll make you pay."

Dominic said.

"I believe you can do it. But I hope that day never comes." Harrison said.

"I hope so too." Dominic said.

The coffee had gone cold.

Harrison didn't drink it.

Dominic asked the waiter to pour out the coffee in the cup and serve two fresh ones.

The light roasting flavor of the sun-dried coffee beans was light and elegant, drifting past Dominic,

reflecting his dignified face.

Harrison was certain, he was different from those vicious hackers.

He asked, "Is it worth it to offend foreign financial groups for a woman, and pay double the breach of

contract penalty?"

Dominic poured the newly served coffee into a small cup and handed it to him, counter-questioning,

"Is it worth it to marry a woman from the bottom of society, Mr. Harrison?"

"Roxanne doesn't know my real identity yet Please keep it a secret for me." Harrison dodged the

question.

Dominic frowned, "You can't even be honest about your identity, I doubt your intentions towards

Roxanne."

"When the time is right, I'll be honest with Anne." Harrison said.

Anne!

Such an intimate address made Dominic's heart ache a bit.

Harrison picked up the cup and took a sip, "Good coffee beans."

He put down the cup and said, "No matter what position Roxanne holds in your heart, she is mine now.

No one can take her away from me."

"Don't worry." Dominic gave a bitter smile, "I won't compete with you."

If he really wanted to compete, he wouldn't have hurt her like that seven years ago.

He wouldn't have ruthlessly left her when they were about to get married.

Dominic wrote a phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to Harrison, "This is my phone

number, and my real name."

For years, he had been known as "Y-Spectre".

No one knew his real name except for those who knew him well.

He told Harrison his real name because Harrison was Roxanne's husband.

When he got up to leave, Dominic glanced at Harrison, "If you need my help, feel free to call me. I hope

you can treat Roxanne well."

Harrison glanced at the phone number and name on the paper, and when he looked up, Dominic had

already left the box.

He was sure that this man called Dominic must have feelings for Roxanne.

Because he had feelings, he didn't continue to attack Harrison's 6G-Technology.

Suddenly, a powerful and upright competitor appeared. Harrison felt jealous.

He didn't know what kind of past Dominic and Roxanne had.

He didn't leave the box immediately, but called Chloe.

Chloe was busy at the company.

Harrison asked on the phone, "Chloe, is Roxanne next to you? Can you talk?"

"What's up?" Chloe glanced at Roxanne and walked to the bathroom, "Harrison, Roxanne is not next to

me now, go ahead."

"I want to inquire about someone." Harrison said.

"Hmm, go ahead." Chloe said.

"Dominic." Harrison answered.

How did Harrison know about Dominic?

"Is he Roxanne's ex-boyfriend?" Harrison asked.

Chloe smelled a scent of jealousy.

It was obvious even over the phone.

"Harrison, Roxanne and Dominic's relationship was a thing from seven years ago. They haven't been in

contact for a long time." Chloe said.

"I just want to know, how was their past relationship?" Harrison asked.

"Harrison, what are you worried about?" Chloe asked.

Worried about?

Seeing Dominic's lingering affection for Anne, he was afraid that his wife would leave him.

He had never been honest with Anne about his identity.

He had always been wary and calculating towards her.

If Dominic intervened, Harrison would really be afraid. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Chloe only hoped that their marital relationship could be stable and free from misunderstandings and

difficulties.

"Harrison, Dominic pursued a rich girl in the past and dumped Roxanne. He hurt her, and she has

gotten over him. This will not affect your marital relationship, you don't need to worry." Chloe said.

"Rich girl?" Harrison asked.

Dominic didn't seem like the type to cling to the wealthy.

"Don't tell Anne about our conversation today." Harrison said.

"Don't worry, I can keep a secret. I won't say anything you don't want me to say." Chloe assured him.

But after all, Roxanne was Chloe's close friend.

After ending the call with Harrison, Chloe went to Roxanne and said, "Anne, you and Harrison didn't

argue over Dominic, did you?"

"No. We haven't fought yet. What does Dominic have to do with us? How did Harrison know about

Dominic?" Roxanne asked.

"Harrison seems to know about Dominic. He just inquired about him." Chloe said.

"He's an ex from seven years ago, what's there to inquire about?" Roxanne asked.

"Maybe he's jealous." Chloe said.

"I doubt it." Roxanne said.

"Who knew that your Harrison could get jealous so easily?" Chloe was teasing her.

"I'll ask him later what he's thinking about, it's been so many years." Roxanne said.

"No, Anne, I just promised Harrison I wouldn't spill the beans to you." Chloe told her no.

"But since you promised Harrison, why are you telling me?" Roxanne asked.

"Because you're my best friend, duh." Chloe said.

"Ha-ha, Harrison might go bananas." Roxanne said.

"Just zip your lip to him." Roxanne warned her.

"Don't worry, my lips are sealed." Chloe reassured her.

Chloe went back to her desk and continued working.

Two minutes later, Dominic called,

"Chloe, there's something I need to dig up."

"You're snooping on Harrison, aren't you?" Chloe asked.

"Yes. But I hope you won't spill the beans to Roxanne." Dominic said.

"Anne's out. Shoot." Chloe said.

"How did she meet Harrison?” Dominic asked.

"Actually, you played Cupid between Roxanne and Harrison." Chloe said.

"Me?"

Dominic was puzzled, "Chloe, cut the crap."

"Remember seven years ago when you dumped Anne? You two were about to tie the knot and you left

her out of the blue. She was devastated and fled to Marientown in the west." Chloe said.

"And then?" Dominic asked.

"In the middle of nowhere, she met Harrison's dad. They teamed up to survive a wolf attack and

became friends." Chloe said

, "But during these seven years, Anne lost touch with him.

Six months ago, they bumped into each other again. Harrison's dad introduced Anne to Harrison. She

was contemplating marriage at the time. They chatted online for three months and got hitched."

Chloe was too shy to tell Dominic about Oliver, the jerk who constantly harassed Roxanne, ultimately

pushing her to get married.

It felt like a disgrace.

Dominic asked, "Do you guys know the real deal with Harrison?"

"We know." Chloe said, "Harrison broke the news about his bankruptcy to Anne on their wedding day.

It's admirable, given he was dirt poor. And he's been very responsible since, giving every penny he

earns to Anne. She's the queen bee at home, loved by both her husband and father-in-law."

Honest?

Harrison hid the fact that he was the mogul of Seraphim Haven.

Was that honesty?

Hopefully Harrison didn't have other motives towards Roxanne, or Dominic would have his hide.

Chloe tried to reason with him, "Dominic, there's no point in digging this up. Anne's already hitched.

You shouldn't bother her life anymore."

"This is the last time I'll ask about her. I won't do it again." Dominic hung up.

Chloe was puzzled.

Why were these two men calling her about each other today? Were they about to become rivals?

On the other end.

Harrison was a bit worried.

He called Vincent again, "Dad, did Anne tell you anything about her ex when you met her in

Marientown?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Vincent was clueless.

"Did Anne go to the wilderness of Marientown alone because she broke up with someone?" Harrison

asked.

"Are you getting the green-eyed monster?" Vincent asked.

Harrison didn't respond.

"Harrison, you're really getting a bad case of the green-eyed monster, and over something that

happened seven years ago. Is it necessary?" Vincent said.

"Dad, just tell me." Harrison pleaded.

"Since you're so concerned about Roxanne, I'll tell you." Vincent said.

Vincent told Harrison everything about meeting Roxanne in Marientown.

After listening, Harrison felt uneasy.

He murmured, "Was Anne really that hurt? The guy who caused her so much pain must be someone

she deeply loved."

"Harrison." Vincent felt his son was deep in the emotional whirlpool, "why are you so anxious?"

"I have to hang up." Harrison didn't feel like doing anything.

He just wanted to see Roxanne.

He was desperate, and h

e couldn't wait any longer.

When he arrived at Roxanne's office, it was noon.

Roxanne and Chloe were having lunch.

They ordered two servings of beef stew - very simple.

When Harrison walked in, Roxanne was in the dressing room changing her clothes as they were

stained with sauce.

Chloe was surprised to see him.

Wasn't today a workday?

"Harrison, why are you here? Have you eaten?" Chloe asked.

"Where's Roxanne?" Harrison asked.

"She got her clothes dirty, so she's changing her shirt." Chloe said.

In the dressing room, Roxanne removed her stained clothes and found that her body was also smeared

with sticky sauce, so she took a shower.

When she came out in fresh clothes, she saw Harrison.

They had just parted this morning, but to Harrison, it felt like a long time had passed.

"Why are you here?" Roxanne was surprised.

Harrison didn't say a word. He walked up to her, wrapped one arm around her waist, the other

supporting her head, and held her tight.

His grip was a bit too strong and a bit too heavy. Roxanne's head was tightly pressed against his chest.

"Harrison, you're holding too tight." Roxanne said.

Chloe was still outside.

"Anne, I missed you." Harrison kissed her forehead.

His thin lips gently touched her forehead, kissing deeply.

"Chloe is still outside!" Roxanne said.

"Don't worry, I didn't see anything. Carry on." Chloe purposely came over and closed the door for them.

When the door slammed shut,

Harrison's kisses became more passionate, filled with his strong desire.

He planted kisses on her forehead, nose, cheeks, neck, and collarbone.

Seemingly not satisfied, he hoisted her onto the table, bent down, and started to undress her.
