Harrison's face went unnoticed by Roxanne. She touched the kitchen hood, scanning its QR code with
her phone.
The price displayed on the product official website was: 180,000. Roxanne was taken aback. "Wow,
this hood costs 180,000! Is it some kind of deluxe version?" NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Roxanne couldn't believe that the developer would be so generous as to gift her a hood worth 180,000.
"Is this a fake? But, even if it's a fake, I feel like I've scored if the developer gave it to me."
Harrison's face darkened. To prove it wasn't a fake, he showed Roxanne how to verify the product's
authenticity on the official website. After verification, it turned out to be the real deal, indeed worth
180,000.
Chloe asked in surprise, "Roxanne, is the president of Rodriguez Group really that generous? Aren't
businessmen all about profit these days?"
"Exactly." Roxanne echoed this while admiring her luxurious hood. "Businessmen are usually tight-
fisted, and they can be really cunning. But this president of Rodriguez Group is so generous that it's
hard to believe. Unless he's lost his marbles, why would he be so generous in giving such luxurious
decor to homeowners?"
Harrison defended himself, "Maybe he a conscientious businessman. I heard that Rodriguez Group
does a lot of charity work both at home and abroad. It's a large company with a conscience."
There was no lie in what he said. Each year, Harrison would instruct his CFO to allocate funds for
various charities. The amount was not small. He wasn't the scheming businessman Roxanne thought
he was. Nor was he out of his mind.
Roxanne, however, still believed, "Even a large company with a conscience wouldn't be so generous in
giving such luxurious decor to homeowners. I think he must be out of his mind. But still, I'm grateful."
Harrison's face darkened even more. The label of being out of his mind was now attached to him.
He asked Roxanne, "How do you plan to thank him?"
Roxanne thought about it seriously. "I genuinely wish him good health and a long life. If he's really a
conscientious businessman, I hope he does more good deeds. He shouldn't do anything underhanded
to make ill-gotten gains in the name of being a conscientious businessman."
Were there any conscientious businessmen these days? Capitalists were scary. They exploited people
and went against their conscience.
"Also, I hope the president doesn't catch any STDs."
Harrison's face darkened even more, "Is this how you thank someone?"
Roxanne spoke candidly, "I'm just telling the truth. These tycoons have a lot of money and a lot of
women. I hope he doesn't catch these diseases. This is a sincere way of expressing gratitude."
Harrison defended himself again, "How do you know the bigwig behind the developer is a man with a
big interest in women? He might have been innocent all along."
"That's impossible." Roxanne scoffed, "He has so much money. What rich man wouldn't go after
women?"
She continued, "Those wealthy and young bosses and CEOs who are faithful and loyal only exist in
those cheesy novels. In real life, although these CEOs are reported to be good in the media, who
knows how complicated their private lives are?"
Harrison thought to himself: I'll let you see that in real life these kinds of CEOs really do exist.
Roxanne frowned. "Harrison, why are you defending the president behind Rodriguez Group so much?"
Chloe smiled and said, "Harrison, your last name is also Rodriguez right? Could it be that the president
behind the Rodriguez Group is your relative?"
Harrison replied, "It's just a coincidence. I have no connection with Rodriguez Group. If I had any ties
with them, I wouldn't have gone bankrupt and started working for someone else."
Roxanne asked, "Then why are you defending him so much?"
Harrison replied, "After all, he gave us such a luxurious decor, I should be grateful to him."
Roxanne said, "I'm very grateful. That's why I sincerely hope he doesn't catch any STDs."
Misunderstood by Roxanne, Harrison was a bit upset. He wanted to tell her that he was the president
of Rodriguez Group. But would such sudden news scare Roxanne?
He knew Roxanne was a woman who wouldn't bend for money or power. It wouldn't be wise to blurt it
out rashly. Forget it. It was better to wait a while before telling her. In case it really scared her off.
Harrison changed the topic, "Do you want to try the bedroom mattress?"
"Sure." Roxanne said, heading towards the bedroom.
Harrison, however, stopped at the door of a bedroom, "I think you'd be more suited to sleep in this
room. It's decorated in your favorite rustic style."
Roxanne and Chloe walked in and were pleasantly surprised.
"Wow! This rustic style is really beautiful!"
"Anne, your floor-to-ceiling curtain is so gorgeous, and there's a big balcony outside! There are even
lots of plants on the balcony. This developer is really thoughtful."
Roxanne was puzzled, "I remember when I bought the house, the bedroom didn't have a balcony."
How did it have a balcony now? And it was completely decorated in her preferred rustic style. Very
exquisite.
Roxanne couldn't help but exclaim, "I feel like the developer knows what I want. They specially
decorated it in my favorite rustic style."
Weird, huh! Back then Harrison asked Roxanne what kind of decor style she liked. Roxanne said she
was into the rustic style. So Harrison had the designers whip up a rustic style. As long as she was
happy, that was all that mattered.
Roxanne stared at Harrison. He frowned, "What, is my face that interesting?"
"Harrison." Roxanne cut to the chase, "Tell me straight, do you know anyone from the Rodriguez
Group?"
Harrison denied with a serious face, "No, I don't."
The more Roxanne thought about it, the more it didn't add up. Among the thousands of homeowners in
the whole neighborhood, why was she the only one to win the grand prize of luxury decor and
furniture? Plus, the furniture and appliances that were delivered were the kind only the filthy rich could
afford. And the decor style, it just so happened to be her favorite rustic style? Wasn't this too much of a
coincidence?
She looked at Harrison full of suspicion, trying to find a clue from his gaze. But Harrison's gaze
remained calm and composed, without any fluctuation. "I really don't know them. Maybe it's just a
coincidence that their decor style is rustic."
Harrison was a pro at lying, and he didn't give anything away. Roxanne thought maybe she was
overthinking. If Harrison really knew someone from the Rodriguez Group, he wouldn't have ended up
with his house seized and nowhere to live.
At this point, Harrison pointed to another room, "Roxanne, you can sleep here, I'll take the one next to
yours."
Chloe looked at them, "You two have been married for two months and you're still sleeping in separate
rooms?"
Roxanne answered, "What's so strange about that. It's what we agreed on before we got married."
"Anne." Chloe lightly pat her arm, "You can't be this unfair to Harrison, you should fulfill your duties as a
wife. You've been married for so long, how come you're still not letting Harrison sleep with you?"
