The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 104

Harrison put down his coffee cup, his gaze fixed on Roxanne not far away, never leaving her.

"No need for that yet."

If that old geezer dared to step out of line with Roxanne, his guys were ready to teach him a lesson. But it seemed like his guys didn't need to lift a finger, because Roxanne had already dealt with the situation herself.

Roxanne really was a woman you didn't want to mess with. She had just whacked that old man in the face with a golf club. That was pretty badass.

Harrison thought his wife was amazing, but mostly, he felt sorry for her.

She was so careful yet so brave. Wasn't all this forced out of her by life?

What woman enjoyed hitting people? Wasn't all this because she had no one to rely on when she was a kid, was bullied too much, and had to develop skills to protect herself?

Harrison's heart was stirred. Roxanne had heard the funniest thing in the world. She looked at Finn with disdain and let out a cold laugh.

"Finn, what did you say? I didn't hear you, dare to say it again?"

Finn was running out of patience, his expression darkening. "Did you not hear me, or are you playing dumb? Let me put it bluntly, if you don't agree to sleep with me today, you can kiss this money goodbye."

Roxanne laughed. "Finn, I have to sleep with you to get back my own debt? Do you think you're the king? I'm telling you, I'm getting this debt back today."

With that, she pulled up a chair and sat down. She casually propped up her leg, looking like a mob boss. Then she pulled out her phone and read out a series of numbers.

She finished reciting the numbers and asked: "Finn, this number is your wife's phone number, right?"

Finn was suddenly flustered.

Roxanne continued: "I've been trying to collect this debt from you for years, and I've finally found a way. The reason you're worth so much is because you have a rich father-in-law, a rich wife, and you're being kept by them. You tell me, what would happen if I told your wife you wanted to sleep with me? Would you be kicked out of the house? Finn, if my hand slips, the phone will dial out. You decide whether or not to return the money."

Finn was first enraged, then had to swallow his pride and play nice. "Roxanne, don't call my wife."

Roxanne let out a cold laugh.

"By the way, every word you just said, I recorded it all. I don't mind taking a detour to the beauty salon your wife frequents, and letting her listen to today's recording."

Finn's face was turning green. If his wife heard this recording, he really would be kicked out of the house. He would be left with nothing.

Today he truly lost to Roxanne. His face darkened, "It's just over ten thousand dollars, I'll pay you back, you delete the recording first."

"I won't delete the recording until the money is in my hands."

"What if I pay you back and you still don't delete the recording?"

"You don't have a choice."

"Fine, I'll pay you back now."

A few seconds later, Roxanne's bank account received $13,578.

Finn's face was still gloomy, "Now, can you delete that recording?"

"What if I delete it and you retaliate against me later? I have to keep this recording to protect myself from your revenge."

"Roxanne, are you threatening me?"

"For a ruthless businessman like you, if I don't keep the recording, won't you send people after me? Don't even think about snatching my recording device; I've already sent a backup to a good friend, it's useless to steal it."

Finn gritted his teeth, unable to take any action against her. She was a tough cookie to crack.

After getting the money, Roxanne didn't want to waste another word on this ruthless businessman. She dropped the golf club and strode away.

Harrison watched all of this from a distance. His wife was indeed very capable. He was originally planning to help Roxanne deal with this unscrupulous businessman, but she easily solved the problem.

He didn't know how many hardships Roxanne had gone through in these years to have such strong self-protection abilities.

Watching Roxanne's departing figure, Anthony exclaimed, "Mr. Harrison, she's really amazing, so cool!"

Harrison frowned, deep in thought. He would rather she be a weak woman who needed his protection. But clearly, she didn't want to rely on him. She wanted to solve all her problems herself.

Thinking about this, Harrison's brow furrowed further. Then his phone rang. It was Roxanne calling.

Roxanne, who had got her debt back, wanted to share this joy with him right away.

Roxanne sounded cheerful and joyful on the phone. "Harrison, I've got the debt back, you don't have to worry anymore."

Harrison pretended to be clueless and asked curiously, "Didn't you say that debt has been owed for several years, how did you get it back so easily?"

Roxanne replied, "I didn't think about it carefully before, so I didn't find a good solution. This time I put some thought into it, and the problem was easily solved."

Harrison frowned. He knew the ruthless businessman had once threatened Roxanne, only if she slept with him could she get the money.

And Roxanne spoke so lightly. She was really gutsy.

If the businessman was a little more aggressive and a little more despicable, he might take more drastic measures against her. Did she know how dangerous she was? Why didn't she tell him about such a big thing, why didn't she let him help?

Harrison was somewhat angry. Should he praise her for being independent and capable, or should he be unhappy about her aloofness?

"Harrison, why aren't you talking?"

"Next time something like this happens, can you discuss it with me?"

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I was going to collect a debt? Didn't I discuss it with you?"

"What I mean is..."

Never mind. She didn't know that he actually knew everything.

"What I mean is, if you run into any trouble in the future, call me right away. Don't face it alone."

"Didn't I call you right after I got the debt back?"

"Was it easy for you to get the debt back?"

"Sort of, everything was under my control."

Harrison was silent. "Harrison, I get it. You're worried about me because you couldn't be here, right? You're afraid Finn would hurt me. Don't worry, he didn't get the chance. Instead, I gave him a piece of my mind. No more worry, okay? I'm not a pushover."

Still, Harrison was silent. "I got the money back. Let's buy some groceries tonight and have a good celebration, what do you think?"

"What would you like to eat? I can take you to a restaurant," Harrison asked.

Harrison wasn't one to frequent average restaurants. He usually hung out in fancy places. But after living with Roxanne for two months, he had grown used to suggesting such simple plans.

Roxanne thought for a moment, "Eating out is a waste of money. We can save a lot by buying ingredients and cooking at home. Let's cook ourselves, I want spicy grilled lobster and salmon."

Harrison asked, "Why are you so into spicy food?"
