The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 77

Sitting in the back seat, Harrison, stiff as a board, said coldly, "Drive."

"I'm not your chauffeur, you know." As Alexander started the engine and hit the gas, he retorted, "I got up at the crack of dawn to drive you, and not only do you not thank me, but you're also giving me the cold shoulder. If I'd known, I would've had Anthony drive you instead."

Harrison didn't respond.

He glanced in the rear view mirror, hoping to catch one last glimpse of Roxanne.

But Roxanne's slender figure had already disappeared.

In the quiet alleyway at five in the morning, there was no one in sight, and many shop doors were tightly shut.

Harrison couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Alexander subtly observed his expression through the rear view mirror, then glanced back at the mirror and chuckled, "What's the matter, feeling bummed because Roxanne left in a hurry and didn't wave goodbye as your car pulled away?"

"You're reading too much into it." Harrison shifted his gaze away from the mirror.

"What's with the furrowed brows, then?" Alexander teased.

Harrison remained silent.

Alexander laughed, "That's just like you, clamming up when called out on your feelings."

He continued, "Harrison, you insisted that I drive you to the airport because you said you had something important to tell me. What is it?"

"While I'm away, keep an eye on Oliver for me."

"Which Oliver?"

"Chloe's husband and her business partner at the company."

"Why do I need to keep an eye on him?"

"Because he's the reason Roxanne and I got married in a hurry."

"Because of him?"

"He's been harassing Roxanne because he thinks she's pretty."

"So, you're saying Roxanne married you to escape this guy?"

Indeed.

Being constantly harassed by her best friend's husband was a real headache for Roxanne.

But Alexander was confused and asked, "But that doesn't mean Roxanne had to rush into marrying someone to prove her innocence."

"I don't understand her thinking either." Harrison replied.

Alexander laughed, "Actually, Harrison, this is a blessing in disguise. If Oliver hadn't harassed Roxanne, you wouldn't have had the chance to marry her."

Harrison asked, "So you're saying I should be grateful to that despicable man?"

"Don't waste your time on him. I'll have someone keep a close eye on him."

"I want you to do it personally."

"Why me? You know I'll be even busier when you're away on your business trip."

Harrison then told Alexander about Oliver's domestic violence towards Chloe.

Upon hearing that, Alexander was furious, "Isn't a husband supposed to cherish his wife? How could that bastard hit a woman?"

Alexander was well-known as a loving husband.

He believed that not only should a man cherish and respect his wife, but he should also pamper her, even when she's being unreasonable.

Because a wife was the one who risked her life and endured pain to bear their children. She deserved unconditional love.

And yet, Oliver, that low life, not only failed to appreciate Chloe for giving birth to their two children but also abused her?

If Alexander ever met such a man, he'd definitely teach him a lesson.

Such behavior was a disgrace to all men.

Harrison continued, "Chloe and Oliver are in the midst of a divorce. Oliver blames Roxanne for stirring things up. He'll be released from detention in a few days. Keep an eye on him."

Just in case anything unexpected happened.

After all, Oliver had been violent before, even causing Chloe's eyes to swell.

If he held a grudge and decided to take revenge not only on Chloe but also on Roxanne, what then?

Harrison wouldn't be able to rest easy in London.

"You, a woman who has given birth to two children, dare to talk about divorce with my brother? Have you looked in the mirror lately?"

Not wanting to listen to Sophia's nonsense, Chloe hung up the phone.

Then, she blocked Sophia's number, and blocked Oliver's other sister, Ava and Charlotte too.

None of the folks in the Lewis family were any good.

At the Lewis family's place.

Charlotte asked, "Why did she hang up? Wasn't she supposed to negotiate with the police station to release Oliver?"

Sophia replied, "That wretched woman, she said she wants a divorce from Oliver."

Charlotte asked, "Her? After the divorce, she will become an unwelcome person. And she dared to initiate the divorce?"

Sophia said, "I feel like she really wants to divorce Oliver this time."

Charlotte responded, "If she dares to divorce Oliver, then she should compensate for his losses and return the money she conned from me. No payback, no divorce."

Sophia agreed, "Exactly. Our Oliver wasted so many years on her. If she wants a divorce, she must pay up. We can't let Chloe off easy."

Meanwhile, on Harrison's private double-decker plane.

In the conference room, after a three-hour meeting, Harrison told everyone to take a break.

The flight attendants brought breakfast, serving each of the senior managers in turn.

But Harrison said, "I don't need mine; please take it away, thanks!"

One of the shareholders, Samuel Carter, picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip, looking at Harrison, "Harrison, you didn't have breakfast. You're not having coffee either. Aren't you hungry?"

"I had a lot for breakfast; my wife made me too much. I'm still full," Harrison stood up.

He was about to work out in the plane's gym for a bit, "The meeting will continue in half an hour."

Samuel joked, "Harrison, being a married man really is different. You're just like Alexander, showing off your happiness in front of us singles."

"Want to show off too?" Harrison raised an eyebrow, looking at Samuel, who was eating his toast, "You need a wife first."

Samuel chuckled helplessly, "Yes, yes, yes, I don't have a wife; you have a wife. Happy now?"
