The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 92

Roxanne strolled over, planning to say hi to Harrison. But Harrison casually glanced up and spotted his

wife and her friend approaching.

Talking about a lucky break!

He was planning to bring her and Chloe to court tomorrow, but since they were here now, he might as

well settle it now.

Ethan from the court followed Harrison's gaze.

Harrison waved at Roxanne and Chloe, "Ethan, this is my wife Roxanne, and her friend Chloe." With

that, he turned to Roxanne.

Roxanne asked him, "Harrison, what are you doing here at the court?"

After greeting Chloe, he answered Roxanne's question, "Our company just wrote a program for the

court. I was the one in charge, just finished discussing it with Ethan."

He was a smooth liar. When he lied, he didn't let anything slip.

Ethan played along, "Ms. Martinez, your husband's program is top-notch."

This was pre-arranged with Ethan. Roxanne's friends were all business people, and she didn't know

anyone in the court. This was her first time speaking with the head of the court.

A regular joe like her would never have a chance to meet the head. But she wasn't scared, keeping her

cool with a smile, "You flatter me, Ethan."

She was really worried about Chloe, but she wasn’t sure if she could ask Ethan for help. It was kind of

awkward for Roxanne to bring it up. After all, her husband Harrison wasn't all that close with Ethan.

Harrison seemed to know what she was thinking, "Roxanne, I was just discussing Chloe's divorce case

with Ethan."

Roxanne and Chloe both tensed up. They exchanged glances. Could Harrison really ask Ethan to

speed up the divorce proceedings?

Ethan made a welcoming gesture, "Since you're here, why don't we discuss it inside?"

After about half an hour of discussion, Chloe's divorce case was making progress. The delay in her

divorce hearing was indeed questionable. But now that Ethan was personally overseeing the case, it

could be heard in two weeks.

Mission accomplished.

Walking out of the court, Roxanne still couldn't believe it, “Harrison, did Ethan really help speed up

Chloe’s court date to two weeks from now?”

Harrison sent a Whatsapp message to his driver Anthony: [I'm with my wife, no need to pick me up. I'll

grab a cab.]

After sending the message, he answered Roxanne, "It's not really a favor. The hearing shouldn't have

been delayed five months in the first place. The deputy head who intentionally delayed the case, Ethan

will deal with him. He's a fair and just guy."

It sounded plausible, but Roxanne was still skeptical, "Harrison, you seem to know Ethan pretty well."

"We're not that close, I just helped them write a small program. We got to know each other after a few

exchanges." Harrison said.

Roxanne didn't ask any more questions.

Chloe thanked Harrison many times for his help. Harrison said to her in a friendly way, "You're a friend

to Roxanne, so don't be so formal with me. If you need help with anything, let me know. Consider me a

good friend."

Roxanne lightly patted Harrison, correcting him, "What friend? You're Chloe's brother-in-law from now

on. My bond with Chloe is tighter than blood sisters."

Harrison said, "You're right, you two are just like sisters."

Sometimes, Roxanne cared about Chloe more than him. He felt like he didn't have a place at home

anymore.

After parting with Harrison, Roxanne and Chloe returned to the office. Charlotte was at the reception.

She stopped them as soon as she saw them.

"Did you just come back from the court?" Charlotte asked.

Chloe didn't want to deal with her, she asked coldly, "What do you want?"

Charlotte despised Chloe. She felt Chloe was ungrateful and started with her sarcastic remarks,

"Chloe, how dare you divorce our Oliver? You're such an ungrateful person. Oliver has always been so

good to you and never stingy. He treats you well, lets you live comfortably without having to work and

be a housewife. What more could you ask for? And you dare want a divorce? If you really divorce

Oliver, wouldn't all his efforts over the years be wasted?"

Roxanne couldn't stand Charlotte's sarcasm, she hit back, "Charlotte, if you think Chloe has had it so

good marrying into the Lewis family, then I wish your daughters could have the same 'comfortable' life

in their marriages. They could stay home all day doing housework, work hard without complaining, and

ask their husbands for money whenever they need it. They surely can't complain even when they're

abused, and of course can't ask for divorce. Also, they should be grateful to their in-laws. Oh, and it

would be great if they were beaten to death and only got a 'serves you right'."

Charlotte's face changed instantly, "Roxanne, are you cursing my daughters?"

Roxanne was furious, "So you know this is a curse? Your daughters can't be cursed or live that life, but

Chloe should?"

It was always different when it was not happening to her.

Roxanne fumed, "I don't need to curse them. Karma's a bitch. I'm just gonna sit back and watch your

daughters get pushed around by their husbands' families."

Charlotte knew she couldn't defend herself, so she simply said, "I don't wanna argue."

People like Charlotte, doing all sorts of bad stuff, never afraid of karma. She said, "Chloe, I'll say it

again. Pay Oliver 700 grand in one go, and he'll agree to the divorce. If you can't cough up the cash,

just go back to being a housewife and stop embarrassing yourself. Just so you know, Oliver's got

friends in court, your case will just be stalled, no trial. Plus, even if you could shell out 700 grand, if you

really divorce Oliver, the kids won't be yours. Austin is a Lewis through and through. As for Aria, we've

been raising her since she was six, and we didn't do it for free. She's gotta bring a lot of money back to

the Lewis family. She's definitely not going to you."

Just then, the court sent someone over.

Last time, the court sent the paperwork to Oliver. This time, they found Oliver and asked, "Are you

Oliver?"

Oliver nodded, "Yes, I am."

The uniformed person said, "We're from the court."

Then, they handed Oliver a subpoena and said, "The person named on this subpoena must appear in

court on time, or we'll hold you legally responsible."

Holding the subpoena, Oliver was puzzled. Hadn't his brother-in-law taken care of this and told him not

to show up in court?

Just then, Charlotte got a call from Sophia.

Sophia said, "Mom, about Oliver's divorce case, don't let my husband help Oliver anymore. That

person is under investigation, and your son-in-law is suspected of bribery. It's a big mess. You guys

should just get divorced. Why drag my husband into this. It's so annoying. Mom, stop calling me.

Because of your son, my husband has been yelling at me. He even threatened to divorce me."

The call ended.

When Charlotte called back, Sophia hung up. When things were going well, the Lewis family was tight-

knit. But when things went south, they started blaming each other. That was the Lewis family.

The court's people left, and Chloe looked at Charlotte and Oliver, this disgusting mother-son duo. All Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

they saw was dollar signs, so bloody materialistic.

They wanted to divorce her, fight for Aria's custody, and even have Aria earn money for them when she

grew up. Like hell. She would never let Aria grow up in such a disgusting family.

Chloe was adamant and said, “Oliver, you can't find any excuses now, can you? Can't avoid the court

anymore, right? I'm definitely divorcing you and I've nothing to say to you. See you in court in two

weeks."
