The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 231

Roxanne thought she had already forgotten about this guy, but when Harrison suddenly appeared

before her, his cold indifferent face made her heart crumble in an instant.

For the past month or so, she had been forcing herself to go through the motions of a normal life,

eating, sleeping, working to make money.

She told herself she couldn't keep moping about him, she couldn't keep dwelling on the divorce, and

she definitely couldn't keep thinking about him.

She needed to let go of him, to find peace, and to become the unbreakable version of herself again.

But in reality, she had overestimated herself. She wasn't able to let go that easily.

Upon seeing Harrison, Roxanne stopped in her tracks as if her feet had taken root.

She desperately wanted to get away, but she felt powerless. She felt a surge of panic, as if her blood

was flowing in reverse.

All she could do was stare at Harrison, not blinking an eye.

Roxanne wanted to greet him, to ask him how he had been in the past month.

She was about to say something.

"Mr. Harrison, do you know her?" A middle-aged man with glasses standing next to Harrison

interrupted Roxanne.

Harrison casually averted his gaze from her, "I don't know her."

After saying that, he simply walked away.

His neatly pressed suit brushed past her, bringing with it a gust of wind.

All the words Roxanne wanted to say got stuck in her throat, never getting the chance to be voiced.

He said he didn't know her!

The man who once loved her deeply, who held her in a passionate embrace, said he didn't know her.

The cold air from the corridor's air conditioning made her feel even colder. Her chest hurt, as did her

stomach.

Roxanne told herself it was just because the air conditioning was too cold.

She was fine, she wasn't upset. She straightened up and started walking.

"Harrison, wait for me. It's strange that you wanted to come here for dinner." Alexander was

approaching from the front.

He was originally looking for Harrison, but stopped in his tracks when he noticed Roxanne looking a bit

pale. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Roxanne?" Alexander finally understood why Harrison had chosen to come to this neither high-end

nor famous hotel.

"Long time no see." Alexander didn't know what else to say.

Roxanne also felt a bit awkward, "Not that long, just over a month."

Over a month. Because of the divorce, this period of over a month felt like a century.

Alexander started asking about Roxanne, "How have you been recently? Is everything okay with the

new company you started? Do you need any help?"

"Everything is fine."

Alexander pointed in the direction Harrison had left, "Did Harrison just greet you?"

"Huh? Is Harrison here?" Roxanne pretended to be ignorant, "I was looking at my phone just now, and I

didn't notice him."

Alexander was speechless. His question was so lame. It was obvious that Harrison hadn't greeted

Roxanne.

Harrison was so high and mighty. He would definitely pretend not to know Roxanne. Why did he even

need to ask?

Thinking of this, Alexander said, "Well, I would like to invite you, Chloe and the kids over to my house

for dinner."

Roxanne declined straight away, "I might be busy for a while. I have something else to do. I'll go first."

Roxanne turned around and left without hesitation.

Alexander hurriedly followed her into the private room. The bespectacled Noah was making a call by

the window, while Harrison was casually flipping through the menu.

Alexander walked over, deliberately making a loud noise as he pulled out a chair to sit down, "Harrison,

did you choose to have the meal here today because Roxanne is here? Are you missing her a lot?"

Harrison continued flipping through the menu, "Did you notice anything unusual about me?"

"Right, you're not unusual at all." Alexander wished he could see through Harrison's pretense, "You're

just pretending to be calm and indifferent. You saw her and pretended not to know her. You're really

something."

If his relative married such an arrogant man, Alexander would definitely make him regret it for the rest

of his life.

Harrison continued ordering food.

Alexander turned to look at the bodyguard standing next to them, Jackson Thomas, "Jack, did Mr.

Harrison ask you to keep tabs on Roxanne's whereabouts in secret? Is it because Roxanne is here

today that he chose to eat here?"

Jackson remained silent. He didn't dare to answer the question.

"If you're not eating, get out." Harrison glanced at Alexander.

In another private room.

The fat and big-eared Mr. Dino reached out his hand. This time, he was even bolder, directly reaching

for Roxanne's chest.

Although Roxanne was thin, her figure was still upright.

Even in a tightly buttoned casual shirt, her figure was still curvaceous, making the figure underneath

even more attractive.

Mr. Dino really wanted to tear open her shirt and have a good feel.

But before his hand could land, Roxanne grabbed it and twisted his fingers hard.

Mr. Dino's face twisted in pain. "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? I'm hitting you. Isn't it obvious? Can't you tell?" Roxanne didn't bother to hide her

actions.

She twisted his fingers until they cracked.

"If you keep doing this, you won't get your goods."

He actually dared to threaten her.

How many women had this old man taken advantage of using his position, and how many dirty things

had he done?

"Chloe, show him the video."

The video of this old man saying he wanted to sleep with Roxanne and make a deal with her was

playing in front of him.

Roxanne said, "My goods are all legal, imported through regular channels. What right do you have to

withhold them? You're just a customs chief. How dare you to be so arrogant? You think I'm decent-

looking, so you want to sleep with me. Do you want to use such despicable means? Let me tell you,

don't even think about it."

"Listen, Mr. Dino, if you don't return my goods and revoke my fines, I'll make this video of you trying to

sleep with me public."

Mr. Dino failed to say anything.

"If this information spreads on the internet, I'm not sure if your position will be safe."

Mr. Dino had done a lot of these deals, but he's never met anyone as cutthroat as Roxanne. "Aren't you

afraid of my retaliation?"

"Sure, you've got your wits to be the warden. If anything happens to me, my friends, or my company,

regardless of whether you're behind it or not, I'll upload the video straight to the internet," she replied

unflinchingly.

"You're young but you sure play hardball!"

"You're too kind!" If she wasn't this tough, how could she have survived till now?

She had been fighting off the village thugs since she was a kid. She even stabbed a local bully with a

pair of scissors. She had seen a lot since entering society.

If she wasn't tough, who would have protected her?

After letting go of Mr. Dino's hand, she started with a threat and then turned friendly, "As long as you

don't mess with me, I'll be safe, and everyone will be happy. I really had no other choice but to offend

you earlier, I hope we can work well together!"

He just snorted coldly in response.

Roxanne got straight to the point, "When can I have my stuff back?"

"Tomorrow!" He spat out angrily.

Roxanne reminded him, "Also, please revoke the fine at the same time."

"You've got some nerve!"
