The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 131

It wasn't until two days later that Roxanne came up with a solution.

During these two days, the company was forced to shut down.

The two newly hired employees ditched them without even asking for their pay when they saw the company was about to go belly up.

Couldn’t really blame them though.

After all, Roxanne’s company was just a small company with few advantages. Who'd want to stick around after a blow like this?

Starting your own business was tough, especially for a woman.

And it was even harder if someone was sabotaging you from behind the scenes.

Roxanne wasn't sure if Nathaniel Martinez or Oliver Lewis was messing things up. But she was certain it was one of them.

She pulled every string she could to book a private room in a famous restaurant at Seraphim Haven.

She kept popping out to check the situation.

Chloe said, "Anne, will this plan work? Will that government official help us after his meal?"

Roxanne retorted, "Layton recommended it. I guess he'll give us some consideration. We're at the end of our rope anyway."

Chloe said, "I wonder when that government official will come out."

Roxanne then said, "We'll just wait here."

Suddenly, they heard the sound of dress shoes behind them.

"What a coincidence, running into you here."

Roxanne knew that voice was Nathaniel’s.

She turned around and, sure enough, saw Nathaniel smirking at them.

Nathaniel asked, "Roxanne, are you trying to get something done with a government official? The one dining in another private room? Heard your company got shut down. What happened?"

Roxanne instantly knew and also asked, "Did you have a hand in this?"

Nathaniel asked, "What are you talking about? When did I ever mess with things?"

Roxanne asked, "Did you get our company shut down?"

Nathaniel said, "Roxanne, you can eat what you want, but you have to watch your words. You can't blame me for your company's problems."

Roxanne replied, "You're despicable."

Nathaniel retorted, "No skin off my nose if you insult me. After all, we're half-siblings sharing the same father. How about I help you with your company's issues, but you must agree to two conditions. Firstly..."

"Don't bother," Roxanne cut him off, "I won't agree."

Nathaniel said, "Roxanne, think carefully. That official is my uncle. His word can make or break your company."

Roxanne retorted, "So it was you!"

Nathaniel didn't bother hiding it anymore, basking in his victory.

"Roxanne, now you know not to cross me."

"If you had taken care of that waste of space, Sebastian Martinez, sooner, none of this would have happened."

Roxanne added, "He's your dad, not mine. It's your responsibility to take care of him."

Nathaniel asked, "And where do you think you came from?"

Roxanne answered, "What's the difference between having a child and not taking care of it and not having one at all?"

Nathaniel said, "I don't care. You're Sebastian's daughter. As long as you take Sebastian off my hands, stop adding to my burden, and drop the lawsuit against me, your company can resume its operations."

Nathaniel added, " Otherwise, brace yourself for bankruptcy."

Roxanne clenched her fists.

She just wanted to punch this bastard to the ground.

How could Sebastian have spawned such a monster?

Like father, like son, both of them rotten to the core.

Chloe, who was standing by her side, tugged at her sleeve, trying to soothe her.

Chloe said, "Anne, don't give in to him. Sebastian is nothing but trouble. He'll just bring you more headaches. Besides, he was the one who abandoned you first. He didn't raise you. You don't owe him anything.

If we have to, we can close the company. I can quit my job, and we can start delivering food together. We can still make money.

No matter what we do, as long as we put in our best effort, it's okay, even if we earn a bit less and work a bit harder.

Anne, you must not give in to this man."

Roxanne felt like her heart was being torn apart.

Was she supposed to let Nathaniel trample all over her?

And Chloe was getting dragged into this mess too.

She felt so guilty. But she had no choice.

Nathaniel's connections far outweighed hers.

She was truly at a loss.
