The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 159

"Ouch, it hurts. It really hurts."

Before Dean Langley could finish his sentence, Harrison Rodriguez grabbed his hand and led him out

of the room.

By the time Roxanne Martinez and Chloe Mitchell followed, they were nowhere to be seen.

"Did we see that rude guy somewhere before?" Chloe thought the side profile of the man seemed

familiar.

Roxanne hadn't seen the man before, but he also looked familiar to her, "Indeed, it seems like I've seen

him somewhere."

Chloe expressed her doubts, "Anne, that man seemed to have some beef with Harrison. Is Harrison

keeping anything from you? Has he paid off all his debts since he went bankrupt? Are you aware of all

that?"

Harrison seemed like a reliable guy, but Chloe was worried that his massive debts after bankruptcy

would impact Roxanne. Roxanne had worked hard to earn a stable life then. Chloe didn't want

Roxanne to experience poverty again.

Yet Roxanne wasn't worried at all.

"Don't suspect Harrison like this. He told me before that, even though he went bankrupt, he didn't owe

much. His assets could basically offset his debts."

Chloe was still concerned, "Really? Then why did that guy come looking for Harrison so aggressively

just now, as if he were there to collect debt?"

"Don't worry." Roxanne was very certain, "Every word Harrison told me is true. He's so honest; how

could he lie to me?"

She fully trusted Harrison.

But Chloe had a hunch that the man who came looking for Harrison had a complicated relationship with

him.

As if Harrison was hiding something from Roxanne.

But the normally savvy Roxanne seemed to be blinded by love.

Chloe reminded her, "You should ask Harrison if he's hiding anything from you. You're married now. If

he's really in trouble, you'd definitely be willing to face it with him, but even so, he can't lie to you. Once

there's deception in a marriage, even the best relationship will have cracks."

"I understand that principle." Roxanne was even more certain, "Don't worry, Harrison won't hide

anything from me. He bought a house in Grandeur Meadows before, which shows that he did have

some assets, enough to offset his debts."

Chloe said, "Houses in Grandeur Meadows are worth millions. Harrison must have been very wealthy

before."

Roxanne said, "He was indeed successful in business before, but he ended up losing it all."

Chloe said, "Anne, that Mr. Alexander has a villa in Bayview Villa and also in Grandeur Meadows. I've

been to his house."

Roxanne said, "Really? Mr. Alexander also bought a villa in Grandeur Meadows?"

Chloe said, "It seems Harrison was indeed wealthy before, but he was just unlucky and lost everything.

Otherwise, you'd be married to a rich husband."

When Harrison brought Dean outside, Harrison's bodyguard Jack and a dozen men surrounded them.

Looking at the situation, Dean scoffed, "What's your game? Is the richest man in Seraphim Haven

trying to bully the weak with numbers?"

Harrison looked at him, not giving him the time of day.

He didn't want to waste words on the man.

He said directly, "Don't even think about getting that piece of land."

"Harrison, what do you mean? Are you going back on your word?"

Harrison didn’t say anything.

"Didn't we agree when you asked me to seduce Hazel Dawson?"

Harrison's face darkened, "Don't think I don't know! You had contact with Hazel way before I found you.

You dared to seduce her even though you knew she was Alexander's wife? Did you really think

Alexander would do nothing?"

Seducing his good friend's wife?

Harrison was already being generous by not settling scores with him.

And he dared to come, demanding land?

Dean said, "Hazel is a woman who loves to play. If it's not me, it would be some other man. Besides,

you had already agreed to give me that land. If you go back on your word now, where's your credibility

as a businessman?"

Harrison was not one to be trifled with, "I don't need to have credibility with people like you."

"So, you're sure you won't sign over that piece of land to me, right?" Dean felt he had been greatly

wronged.

Jack by the side sneered coldly, "How dare you go after Mr. Harrison's friend's wife? We're already

being nice by not throwing you into the ocean to feed the sharks! And you're here demanding land?

You must be tired of living. This matter ends here, or you can go meet the sharks in the ocean."

Everyone knew Harrison was a respectable businessman who often did charity work, but once

angered, he was very ruthless.

It was said that those who crossed him would be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

Killing someone in the open sea was not subject to domestic laws.

Dean didn't dare to bargain anymore. He could only accept his bad luck.

"The woman you saw just now is my wife, Roxanne." Harrison spoke in the calmest tone, but his words

were the most chilling. "If you dare to mess with her, I won't mind killing one more person."

Dean was indeed scared.

In terms of family background, the Langley family was no match for the Rodriguez Group.

In terms of tactics, he was not as ruthless as Harrison.

He had no choice but to behave.

"I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now. I won't cross the line in the future."

Roxanne waited at the door for about a few minutes before she saw Harrison come out.

No one knew if he had settled the dispute with that guy just then.

Roxanne approached him with concern, asking, "Harrison, are you okay? Did that guy give you a hard

time?"

"I'm fine. He's an old business rival of mine and has a bone to pick with me," he said calmly. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"You didn't owe him money, did you?" Roxanne asked, sounding worried, "If you did, we should pay

him back right away."

"Don't worry," Harrison patted Roxanne on the head, "I'm not in debt, and I won't drag you into paying it

off. It's just some old disputes between him and me, nothing about money."

Roxanne was still a bit worried, "Are you sure? You can't take on everything by yourself. You have a

wife now. It's my responsibility to share your burdens."

"Dingbat, are you so eager to help me pay off my debts? Do you wish your husband was in debt?"

Harrison was both surprised and touched by Roxanne's selflessness.

Roxanne replied, "I'm just worried about you being under too much pressure."

Listening to their conversation, Chloe sighed in her heart. Her good friend Roxanne was too naive. If

Harrison really had a lot of debts, would Roxanne really help him pay them off? But they were husband

and wife then. If Harrison had any trouble, Roxanne would definitely help him out.

In order to ease Roxanne's worry, Harrison gently ruffled her hair and said, "If I did have any debts, I'd

use my bonus money to secretly pay them off, so I wouldn't be able to bring the money home to you."

That made Roxanne feel relieved. She knew that Harrison had received many bonuses, which were his

extra income. If he did have any debts, he could completely pay them off with this money.

On the way home, Roxanne suddenly asked, "Harrison, your enemy said you married a poor woman.

Was he looking down on me? And who is that cheap woman ‘Hazan’ he mentioned?"

Upon hearing that question, Harrison was at a loss for how to answer. He had told many lies before,

but he could always find a way to keep them going. But that time, he didn't know how to respond.

Thankfully, Harrison had managed to prevent Dean from revealing Hazel's full name and Roxanne

might misheard the name, or all his lies would have been exposed.

After thinking for a moment, he calmly said, "Hazan is a very rich woman. When I went bankrupt, she

wanted to keep me, but I let that guy just now deal with Hazan, so I could get rid of her entanglement."

Harrison didn't want to keep lying, but he was afraid that being honest all of a sudden might make him

lose Roxanne.

He continued, "As for why he called you poor... it might be because, compared to Hazan, you really

are..."

Roxanne didn't care about being called poor. She only asked, "Is Hazan pretty?"

Harrison answered, "She's a beauty, but not as beautiful as you."

Upon hearing this, Roxanne smiled and said, "Then why didn't you compromise? You were bankrupt at

the time. If you were with her, it would have been a shortcut to a rich life."

Harrison's face darkened at that, "Is that what you think of me?"

Roxanne gave him a glance and said, "I was just joking." Then she added, "Alright, alright, I know my

husband is a man of integrity. You are definitely not that kind of person! Don't be mad!"

Just then, the traffic light turned red. Roxanne stopped the car, leaned over to the passenger seat, and

kissed Harrison on the cheek.

Harrison broke into a satisfied smile.

In the back seat, Chloe looked at them with a frown and said, "I knew I shouldn't have come with you

two. I'm still here! If you want to show off your love, do it at home."

Although Harrison didn't get to go on a date alone with Roxanne today, he was very satisfied with her

kissing him in front of Chloe.

The negotiation between Dean and Harrison didn't come to a conclusion, so two days later, he went to

find Alexander again.

He stopped Alexander in the parking lot of Rodriguez Group.

Alexander got out of the car and saw Dean, which really pissed him off.

Before Dean returned to the country, he had already started contacting Hazel overseas. They had been

sending ambiguous messages every day.

Even if Harrison didn't go to find Dean, that shameless man would still come to find Hazel.

Although Alexander and Hazel had divorced, he still couldn't accept the fact that he had been betrayed.

He strode forward. Before Dean could speak, Alexander grabbed his collar and gave him a good

beating.

After he finished, Alexander let go of his collar. "Even though Hazel is a bitch, since you dared to

seduce my woman, this is what you get."

He couldn't let that man get Hazel easily. When Dean and Hazel started dating, she hadn't divorced

Alexander yet. He needed to vent his anger.

Dean spat out blood, "Alexander, I came to talk to you today, not to fight with you."

Alexander said, "You deserve it."

"I originally wanted to tell you some things about Hazel, so you could see her true colors and not be

fooled if she comes back to bother you again. But since you're acting like this, I don't want to tell you

anymore." Dean deliberately left him hanging.

Alexander sneered, "I don't care about her affairs, so you don't need to say anything."

"Really? Do you think she only betrayed you after marriage? She deceived you when you were dating.

Don't you want to know?"

"I don't want to know." Alexander walked around Dean and left.

Dean chased after him, jogging to catch up. "Alexander, hear me out, okay? I'll spill all of Hazel's dirty

secrets, and you can help me convince Mr. Harrison to sell me that piece of land he promised me at

market value. I won't let him lose out. You guys are tight. Maybe you can change his mind.”

Alexander looked absolutely crushed. "I couldn't care less about anything related to Hazel right now.

You've got the wrong guy."

He tried to leave again.

Dean stopped him.

Even though he knew he wouldn't get his help, Dean still wanted to make him uncomfortable.

"Fine. I don't need your help with Harrison, but I still want you to know this. Did Hazel ever tell you that

she had never been with anyone else when you guys were dating?"

Before they married, Hazel had indeed said that.

Back then, Alexander thought Hazel was the most perfect woman in the world.

On their wedding night, during their first time, he saw the blood on the bed sheet.

Alexander remembered that clearly.

He'd even cut out that portion of the sheet stained with Hazel's virgin blood and kept it in Bayview villa.

Seeing Alexander's realization, Dean felt a sick sense of satisfaction.

"Alexander, you seem like a smart guy, but man, Hazel really played you for a fool."

"By the time Hazel was with you, she was no longer a virgin. She had her hymen reconstructed at a

hospital, and you didn't even notice. You're the most dumb ass in the world."

If Alexander wouldn't help him, then Dean would make him pay.

Humiliating him like that was like stomping on his face.

Alexander couldn't believe that Hazel would do such a disgraceful thing.

She even lied to him about being a virgin?

He really did feel like the biggest idiot, just like Dean said.

"Feeling like a dumb ass now?" Dean reveled in his vengeance as Alexander seethed.

"Get lost!"

…

That day, Alexander was a complete wreck.

He was distracted, no matter what he did.

After all, he gave Hazel eight years of his life and love, only to be trampled on like that.

Both Harrison and Samuel Carter could tell Alexander was heartbroken.

Samuel tried to comfort him several times but was stopped by Harrison.

"Let him be alone for a bit. He needs to digest this on his own."

That night, Alexander returned to his villa at Grandeur Meadows.

The lights were on.

A scent of seafood porridge wafted from the kitchen.

Who was it?

When Alexander walked in, it was Hazel's back he saw.

She was wearing an apron and cooking porridge in the kitchen.

Alexander stood there, feeling repulsed. He asked coldly, "Who let you in? How did you get in?"

He had changed the smart lock's password.

All facial recognition data had also been deleted.

How did Hazel get in?
