Chapter 78
Chapter 78
Harrison kept his lips sealed.
He strode out of the meeting room with his long, straight legs, heading to the gym on the plane for a
half-hour workout.
Roxanne had prepared a huge breakfast, and out of respect for her efforts, he ate it all, but now his
stomach was really protesting.
After he left, Samuel turned to the other executives present.
“Did you guys notice that Harrison has changed a lot after getting married?”
“Mr. Carter, Harrison is a married man now. It's normal for him to talk about his wife a lot. If you're
jealous, you can find a partner too.”
Samuel smiled at the executives, “Are you guys teasing me for being single?”
Everyone laughed.
Indeed, ever since Harrison got married, their work environment had become much more pleasant, all
thanks to his wife.
They started discussing while Harrison was away.
“I wonder what Harrison's wife is like. Is she a rich man's daughter?”
“Anyone who marries Harrison must be outstanding in all respects.”
Samuel just sipped his coffee silently.
They would be surprised if they knew that Harrison's wife was just an ordinary woman who liked to set
up stalls on the street to make money.
But fate was strange that way.
Who said that a CEO of a big company had to marry a rich man's daughter?
Marrying an ordinary citizen was also great because it exposed him to different lifestyles.
“Mr. Carter, stop just sipping your coffee. Tell us, who is Harrison's wife? Do we know her?”
Samuel shook his head, “You guys don't know her. I haven't met her either. I just heard about her from
Alexander.”
“Are there any rich girls we don't know?”
“You guys should ask Harrison.”
This kind of explosive news definitely needed to come from Harrison himself.
Meanwhile, Roxanne, who was back home, was sneezing non-stop.
Chloe, who was typing next to her, stopped and looked at her.
“Anne, you're not catching a cold, are you?”
“I rarely catch a cold. Is someone talking about me behind my back?”
“Who would talk about you behind your back?”
“Who knows? Chloe, haven't you finished work yet? Everyone else has left.”
Chloe was about to answer when she saw Oliver.
“How did you get out?” Chloe frowned.
Wasn't he supposed to be detained for five days?
Indeed, Oliver was supposed to be detained for five days, but Sophia had her husband pull some
strings and got Oliver released early.
Chloe was surprised but also on high alert.
Was this man going to take revenge on her the moment he was released?
Why did he look so menacing? Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Oliver glared at Chloe, “You were hoping I'd be locked up for longer, weren't you? Chloe, how could
you be so cruel?”
“You abused a woman and almost blinded Chloe. Don't you think you're evil?” Roxanne stood up,
fuming.
Oliver thought Chloe should take responsibility for what happened to him.
Why couldn't she just obey?
She dared to resist, even called the police on him, and rented out the house while he was away,
leaving him homeless.
Facing such a woman, he must make her know his power and make her scared so she would behave.
But Oliver had become wiser. He decided not to take action against Chloe where there were cameras.
If he wanted to teach her a lesson, it had to be somewhere without people or surveillance.
Chloe had completely given up on Oliver and did not want to talk more.
She grabbed Roxanne and said, “Anne, I don't want to talk to him.”
Talking to him was just a waste of time.
She took out a divorce agreement and decisively handed it to Oliver.
“Oliver, I must divorce you. You want my down payment and the house, right? I don't want any material
things; I only want the kids. Let's go through the divorce procedures tomorrow morning. If you don't
agree, I'll sue for divorce. I have evidence of your domestic violence and that you never care for the
children. I must take Aria and Austin.”
Only by leaving him could she avoid greater losses.
Chloe was determined.
Oliver took the divorce agreement, tore it to pieces, and sneered.
“Chloe, you want a divorce? You can pay me tens of thousands of dollars first, then maybe I'll agree to
the divorce.”
Roxanne clenched her fists, “Oliver, you're shameless. Chloe not asking for compensation from you is
already her kindness to you, and you dare to ask her for compensation. You're the scum of the scum.”
Roxanne was so angry she wanted to curse.
Chloe pulled Roxanne again and said, “Anne, it's not worth arguing with him. We'll see him in court.
The judge will make a fair judgment according to the law.”
“Let's go.”
As they were leaving, Roxanne rode her electric bike, carrying Chloe.
Sitting behind Roxanne, Chloe was lost in thought, feeling the wind.
Roxanne occasionally glanced at Chloe through the rear-view mirror.
Running into such a scumbag was really bad luck.
She comforted Chloe for a while and dropped her off at her new rented house.
“Chloe, you must not let Oliver know where you rented so as to avoid him and his family harassing you
and the kids.”
While Oliver didn't know where Chloe's new rented house was, he did know where their daughter took
dance classes.
Today Aria was going to her dance class.
Oliver waited for Chloe on the path she had to take to pick up Aria.
It was a long alley, and few people passed by.
The sudden appearance of Oliver startled Chloe.
She instinctively wanted to grab something to defend herself, but there was nothing to grab.
“What do you want?”
She immediately backed away.
“You're asking me what I want? You sent me to jail, rented out the house so I can't live there, and you
dare to talk about divorce with me? Chloe, how dare you talk about divorce with me? Besides me, what
man would want a woman like you?”
Oliver was furious. Today he was going to beat Chloe until she was scared and apologized.
He had Chloe by the hair, ready to land a nasty punch.
But then, a strong hand reached in from behind. It was Alexander.
Harrison had tasked him with watching over Oliver, so he was going to see it through personally.
Hitting a woman?
That was the last straw for Alexander - he had zero tolerance for men who used violence against
women.
Aren't men supposed to pamper, care for, and protect their women?
Laying a finger on a woman?
With a little effort, Alexander grabbed hold of Oliver's wrist. Oliver winced in pain, howling like a wolf.
"Ouch! Who the hell are you? Let go of me."
"It doesn't matter who I am. I absolutely cannot stomach men who hurt women. No way I'm gonna
stand by and watch."
Even if Chloe wasn't Roxanne's good friend, Alexander would've done the same.
He increased his grip, causing Oliver to wince even more and beg for mercy.
"Please, let go! I'll buy you dinner, cigarettes, whatever you want."
Buy him dinner? Cigarettes? Did he look like he needed that?
"Even if you offered a million bucks today, I'd still make you pay for being such a disgrace to all men."
Chloe looked at Alexander, filled with gratitude.
Besides that, she was also captivated by his striking good looks.
Who knew someone could be this handsome?
Of all the men she knew, the first one to be this attractive was Harrison.
Chloe then realized that the man in front of her and Harrison shared a similar aura.
It was an aura of nobility and power.
Of course, she had no idea that, just like Harrison, Alexander was a legend in the business world,
achieving great success at a young age.
When Chloe noticed the cross and arrow logo on the Patek Philippe watch on Alexander's wrist, she
couldn't help but gasp at his identity.
This was a watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe even more.
His background must be extraordinary!
