The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 163

Harrison was on the phone, frowning like a champ.

Roxanne's intuition was on point, like always.

Even though he'd asked the bodyguards to be subtle, Roxanne still noticed she was being tailed.

In awe of Roxanne's sharp instincts, he had to keep playing his part and reassure her, "Anne, chill out. I'll be there in no time. Just park your car outside the police station and stay put. If any baddies are following you, they won't dare make a move there."

Harrison's voice had a calming effect on her, easing her anxiety significantly.

"Okay. I'll wait for you here."

After hanging up, Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief.

Chloe, who was sitting next to her, asked what happened.

"Anne, who's tailing you? Is it really that serious?"

Seraphim Haven was a pretty safe place. Even if they were being tailed, what could possibly happen?

Chloe thought Roxanne was overreacting.

It wasn't until Roxanne filled her in on the recent stalking events that Chloe started to freak out.

"If someone is really tailing you like this, it's definitely dangerous, Anne. Did you see that news online? Someone went missing recently and they think they were stalked. They haven't even found the body yet. Terrifying!"

Roxanne frowned, "I had the same thought, why else would someone be tailing me? I don't have any enemies."

"Don't worry, Anne," Chloe patted her hand, "If we park outside the police station, the bad guys won't dare to do anything. We'll wait for Harrison."

Harrison had Anthony drive him over in a regular company car to the Dragonrow Avenue police station.

Seeing Roxanne's red Porsche, he walked over and got in.

He comforted Roxanne, putting her at ease.

With Harrison around, she wasn't as scared anymore.

Later, Harrison reminded the bodyguards to be more careful, but the next day, Roxanne still felt like she was being followed.

She was walking down a narrow alley in Urban Sun Village.

This alley was so narrow that the bodyguards tailing her had nowhere to hide.

Roxanne looked back.

The two bodyguards, disguised as a couple, kept walking naturally without giving anything away.

Roxanne pretended to stroll on casually. As she walked, she texted Harrison that she was being followed again.

Harrison hurried over to meet her.

Although she was a bit scared, Roxanne acted casual and held Harrison's hand tightly.

"I'll take you somewhere."

With Harrison there, her boldness increased a notch.

She walked ahead, head down.

"Anne, where are we going?"

"Just follow me."

She pretended to be chatting and laughing with Harrison as they entered the deep end of the alley.

After turning a corner, Roxanne pulled Harrison aside, "Shh, be quiet."

When the footsteps got closer, Roxanne jumped out and grabbed one of her stalkers, twisting his arm behind his back to immobilize him.

"Are you following me?"

Roxanne thought, anyone bold enough to tail her must be pretty skilled.

She was prepared for a fight but to her surprise, the guy didn't resist at all.

Even a normal person would fight back when grabbed like this, right?

Seeing his buddy looking at her warily, she quickly said, "Harrison, quick! That's his partner! You need to take him down."

Harrison looked at the bodyguard.

The bodyguard looked back at him.

Their eyes met. Harrison looked serious. The bodyguard thought he was angry.

Did they mess up somehow and upset the boss?

Both bodyguards were big guys, though one was disguised as a woman.

Seeing Harrison's stern face, they were a bit scared but couldn't blow their cover in front of Mrs. Rodriguez.

They were in a pickle.

Being exposed was not because of incompetence, but because the alley was just too narrow. There was nowhere to hide.

The bodyguard posing as a woman, now held by Roxanne, explained in a panic, "Uh... Ms. Martinez, we weren't intentionally following you. We mean no harm."

Roxanne's grip tightened, "You know who I am and you're still saying you're not following me?"

Harrison's face turned even darker.

Couldn't Jack find some smarter bodyguards?

He'd have to give him a piece of his mind.

The bodyguard Roxanne was holding didn't dare resist.

After all, he couldn't very well fight Mrs. Rodriguez.

If it were anyone else, he would've fought back by now.

Mrs. Rodriguez didn't have the strength to keep him in check, but how dare he fight back?

Roxanne was getting more confused. How could someone tailing her be so easily overpowered?

She knew her own strength.

If she were up against a tough bodyguard, she'd definitely lose.

His partner was just standing there, looking scared.

Weird.

"Who sent you?"

"Our boss."

"Who's your boss?"

Roxanne was determined to find out who had been sending people to tail her every day.

"Spill it!" She twisted the bodyguard's arm harder.

He could've fought back but didn't dare.

Roxanne huffed, "If you're going to tail me, at least send someone competent. A newbie like you can't even beat me. Your boss must've hired a bunch of losers."

The bodyguards were close to tears.

Normally, they could take on ten guys at once.

They're only looking so wimpy 'cause they ain't got the guts to go hard on Mrs. Rodriguez.

Would Mr. Harrison fire them if he heard his wife calling them good for nothing?

Harrison's face was getting darker by the second as he stood nearby.

"You took care of them, didn't you?" Harrison praised, "And you've got guts."

Roxanne said, "Even so, you should've helped! What if I couldn't handle them?"

Harrison replied, "Don't worry. They wouldn't dare to hit you, and they obviously can't beat you."

Roxanne said, "Yeah, they were already crying out in pain before I even really started. Their boss must be a fool."

Harrison's face fell. He wondered how Roxanne would react if she knew he was the boss she just called a fool.

He tentatively asked, "Anne, would you be tempted if this tycoon offered you a lot of money?"

Roxanne replied, "You actually believe their story? They must have some other motive."

But she felt that they probably didn't mean her any harm.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been completely passive when she was suppressing them.

Harrison asked again, "I mean hypothetically. If the tycoon really loved you and was willing to give you a lot of money to make you a rich lady, would you be tempted?"

Roxanne replied, "I'll never be a rich lady in this lifetime. I don't like that complicated life. I like being ordinary. Harrison, are you worried that someone will steal me away? Don't worry. No matter how rich the tycoon is, I'll never be unfaithful to you."

Harrison was indeed worried, but not that she would be taken away.

He knew that Roxanne was absolutely loyal to her marriage and partner.

No matter what happened, she would always be faithful to him.

His only worry was that Roxanne would leave him if his identity was revealed.

After all, she had said that she liked being ordinary.

And she didn't like being deceived.

He was deeply worried, and his brow was furrowed.

Roxanne walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and smoothed out his furrowed brows with one hand.

"Harrison, seriously, there's no need to worry. No one can snatch me away from you. Besides, I'm not all that. What real bigshot would go for a plain Jane like me?"

"You're far from plain! You're amazing."

She's the best woman in the world. No one can hold a candle to her.

Harrison was dead set on this.

Roxanne was over the moon about the compliment.

She couldn't help but tiptoe to kiss his cheeks a couple of times.

"Harrison, you're the best too!"

She had many female friends. Their husbands had all sorts of shortcomings. Some were irresponsible, some were not money-makers, some were both irresponsible and didn't do chores, never even taking care of the kids.

Harrison had none of those flaws.

He was responsible, considerate, and knew how to bring home the bacon.

If they had kids in the future, he'd definitely be a top-notch dad.

Even now, when she wasn't pregnant, he was always taking good care of her.

It's hard to find a catch like him.

She had to treasure him.

Plus, she had a fantastic father-in-law.

Even if she was offered all the wealth in the world, she wouldn't ditch Harrison.

That night, under the moonlight, they went home together.

As soon as they stepped through the door, they started getting frisky, from the front door, to the couch, the bathroom, and then the bed...
