The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 321

The sting of emotion hit Harrison's nose unexpectedly.

He had always prided himself on being exceptional in every way, a self-made man who never caused

his father, Vincent, a moment's worry in the business world.

But the truth was, Vincent had his heart broken over him all along.

Being a parent was never easy.

Looking at his own life, Harrison realized he hadn't been present for most of it. Roxanne had gone

through pregnancy, childbirth, and raised their little Angela up to three years old without much help

from him.

Instead, it was he who had caused Roxanne so much pain.

He truly was a bastard, a failure of a man.

In front of his father, Harrison couldn't muster the sentimental words that would've pleased the old man.

He held his gratitude close to his heart and said sincerely, "Dad, in the future, when it comes to

managing marriages, I will definitely learn from you."

Vincent patted his shoulder gently and said, "You're a good kid, Harrison. To admit one's fault is a

virtue."

Harrison looked down, his gaze falling on his father's arm. The same arm that once swung a golf club

with vigorous strength was now speckled with age spots and lacked its former power. Vincent had aged

before his very eyes.

And Harrison hadn't even given him the chance to enjoy his golden years with little Angela.

Grateful words buried deep, Harrison resolved to do more and speak less from now on.

After leaving Dominic's, Evelyn drove back to her company.

The Miller Group was located in the bustling CBD of Seraphim Haven, just a stone's throw from the

Rodriguez Group.

At the crossroads, her Bentley met Harrison's Rolls Royce.

Anthony, Harrison's driver, always slowed down at the sight of her car and would remind Harrison, "Mr.

Harrison, that's Ms. Miller's car."

Harrison rolled down his window and glanced at Evelyn, who rested one hand on the steering wheel

and the other on the window ledge, looking back at him.

Evelyn flashed a playful smile, "Harrison, you're coming into the office so late today. Don't tell me you

spent the whole night making up for lost time with Roxanne." Her smile turned mischievous, "So, how

was it? After several years without, was last night out of this world?"

Harrison's face became gloomy, and he admonished her, "Shouldn't you, as a lady, watch your

language?"

“Oh, come on, Harrison. Don't be as stiff as those old executives on your team. Can't I, your friend,

have a little fun with you outside of work?"

Jokes were allowed, but her jokes were always a bit too risqué for his taste.

"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you. I've got an interview to attend to. See you around," she said,

waving her hand before speeding off.

Anthony pressed the accelerator, steering the car towards the parking lot, "Mr. Harrison, it's tough for

someone as free-spirited as Ms. Miller to run such a big company under so many constraints."

Harrison didn't respond, but it was clear he was in a good mood; the loneliness that used to cloud his

face was gone.

As they circled around the office building's ornamental fountain, Anthony suggested, "Now that you and Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

the missus are back together, why not consider having another child? Otherwise, Angela might end up

like Ms. Miller, burdened with the family business."

"There's no plan for a second child, and don't mention it to Roxanne," Harrison said, unwilling to

pressure her.

As for Angela, Harrison had no intention of letting her follow in the footsteps of her aunt. Whether she

wanted to join his company or pursue her own path, he would respect her wishes.

Outside the CEO's office.

The company's legal director and CFO had been waiting for Harrison for some time.

Mr. Johnson and Victor greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Harrison."

Harrison nodded and entered his office, "Let's talk inside."

Once settled, Harrison sat on the couch, and the two men stood before him.

"Take a seat," Harrison motioned to the CFO, "Victor, did you prepare the documents I asked for?"

Victor handed over a pile of documents. "Mr. Harrison, the Rodriguez Group's finances are strong, and

we're liquid. Why did you want me to detail these asset portfolios?"

Harrison didn't answer immediately but looked over the papers.

"I want all these real estate properties transferred to Roxanne's name. Stocks, bonds, futures, and the

foreign currency reserves, too. Victor, assist Mr. Johnson with this."

Victor expressed his concern, "Mr. Harrison, such a large change might alarm the board. You're the

major shareholder; if everything moves under Roxanne's name, it could affect your influence."

Harrison's assets were vast; reviewing them would take more than a day.

Closing the folder, he said, "No worries. Draft an authorization agreement, Mr. Johnson."

In essence, Harrison intended to transfer all his wealth to Roxanne, then have her authorize him to

continue as the CEO, managing the entire group.

He would still be the one working, but Roxanne would be the beneficiary.

He wanted to give her the utmost security.

Knowing about their previous divorce, Mr. Johnson asked cautiously, "Mr. Harrison, you're not planning

to have Roxanne quit her job and live off this wealth, are you?"

"Of course not."

He wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

Assets to Roxanne, as well as freedom and respect, would be hers.

If she wanted to carve out her own career path, so be it.

Handing over these assets was merely his way of giving her a safety net, a boost of confidence.

He asked, "Mr. Johnson, how soon can we wrap this up?"

Mr. Johnson replied, "Mr. Harrison, such significant amendments will take at least a week to process all

the paperwork."

Harrison nodded and said, "Alright, Victor, I need you to work closely with Mr. Johnson on this."

Victor nodded in agreement, "Sure thing."

Harrison continued, "Let's keep this change under wraps for now. Roxanne prefers to keep a low

profile. And Victor, from now on, update Roxanne about the company's earnings quarterly. She should

be aware of how fruitful her assets are."

From here on out, Harrison intended to ensure Roxanne could be an independent woman of means,

fully capable of standing on her own two feet, with the added advantage of his support—a true self-

made lady of affluence.

In a nutshell, he was going to see Roxanne happy.

Meanwhile, there was a hiccup with Evelyn's interview.
