The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 195

Roxanne asked, "So you're saying if my husband really is the richest man in Seraphim Haven, I can quit working, stop earning money, and just stay at home using his credit card and living a carefree life?"

Babette replied, "Well, yeah. If you're married to the richest man in Seraphim Haven, why would you need to work? You could live a carefree life since your husband has more than enough wealth."

Roxanne retorted, "And us common folks, can we just luck out and live a life of luxury? Is it really that easy?"

Babette answered, "Why not? If he has other women, you can just spend his money. Why bother working so hard?"

Roxanne simply smiled and didn't respond.

She respected everyone's opinions and ideas, but she also stuck to her own principles.

Whether Harrison was an ordinary guy or the richest man in Seraphim Haven, it wouldn't change her determination to earn her own money.

Babette was curious, "Roxanne, is there any connection between Harrison and the richest family in Seraphim Haven? He carries such an aura, like a leader of high society. He's from Seraphim Haven; could he be linked to the Rodriguez Group?"

Roxanne replied, "What do you think?"

Five days prior, a woman in ethnic dress had found her and revealed that Harrison was the wealthiest man in Seraphim Haven.

Those past five days, Roxanne still couldn't accept the shocking news. It was even more surreal than a dream.

Upon hearing Harrison's offhand mention of breaking up, Roxanne was furious, even though she knew he didn't mean it.

It felt like a sham marriage. As if she'd married into wealth and become a rich woman.

How could such a good thing happen to her?

It was bizarre and unreal.

The reality only made her more uneasy and worried.

In the past few days, Vincent Rodriguez continued to check in on her daily. She didn't know how to face him.

She always made the excuse of being busy at work and quickly ended the calls.

With his son and daughter-in-law living separately, Vincent was anxious and headed to the company headquarters to talk to his son.

At the headquarters, Harrison and a group of senior managers were in a meeting.

During a break, Harrison forgot his computer was still connected to the projector and that his WhatsApp account was logged in on both his phone and computer.

After opening a profile that hadn't received any messages for five days, he typed into the chat box.

“Anne, are you really that determined to divorce me?”

Divorce? The first person to see the projected screen was Alexander.

Alexander quickly patted his shoulder, his brow furrowed with worry, "Harrison, what's going on? Are you and Roxanne getting a divorce?"

Harrison was in a bad mood, and his tone was not friendly.

He replied coldly, "Which eye of yours saw me getting a divorce? Anne and I are doing just fine. Not everyone's like you and Hazel Dawson, you know?"

Samuel Carter chimed in, "We all saw it, okay? You're the one who said that you're getting a divorce."

As he spoke, Samuel pointed to the screen.

Roxanne had replied to Harrison.

The reply said, “Harrison, you're a man. A man should do as he says. If you think we should part ways, then please do as you said before.”

Harrison didn't care that his message was displayed on the big screen.

He simply replied to Anne, “I was just talking. Do you really need to take it so seriously?”

Roxanne replied, “I'm sorry, but I am serious. Also, Harrison, please think about what you did wrong, and contact me when you understand.”

Their conversation was witnessed by Alexander, Samuel, and the other senior managers.

Everyone understood why Mr. Rodriguez, who was usually calm and composed, had recently become irritable.

"You're basically saying you want a divorce from Roxanne. Stop making excuses, man. Women hate it when men do that." Alexander sure knew women.

Harrison was clueless in that area, so he turned to Alexander and asked, "So what should I do?"

He was the CEO of a big company, managing thousands of employees, but he wasn't as busy as Roxanne.

He tried his best to balance work and family, spending as much time as he could with Roxanne.

What did he do wrong?

From his gloomy face, Alexander could tell what he was thinking, "Are you feeling like, since a big shot CEO like you isn't as busy as Roxanne, what could she possibly be busy with? And that she doesn't care much about you?"

"Isn't that the case?" Harrison felt more aggrieved the more he thought about it.

"Harrison, you're the CEO of a big company. You’re usually so cool and collected, but you're getting mad because your wife is ignoring you. Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock if word gets out?"

Alexander used to get teased by Harrison a lot for wasting too much time and energy on women, which he found pointless.

Now, he seized the chance to poke fun at Harrison.

"Harrison, this kind of time and energy-wasting on women is not supposed to happen to you. You're a big businessman; how could you lose your cool?"

After saying that, Alexander started laughing his head off.

Samuel also joined Alexander's mockery, "Yeah, Harrison, a man should focus on his career and put emotions aside. That's what you taught me."

Harrison glared at the two men who were laughing at him.

Angrily, he asked, "Are you guys even my friends?”

Alexander clapped him on the shoulder, "Exactly because we're your friends, we advise you to focus on your career and not get too hung up on feelings."

"If you guys aren't going to help me win my wife back, you can get out." Harrison's face got gloomier and gloomier.
