The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 169

It was raining cats and dogs.

Raindrops were splattering on the umbrella.

Under the umbrella, Hazel's eyes were filled with cold sarcasm. She was having a rough time. So she was going to make everyone pay for her misery.

If only Harrison would speak up, he could convince Alexander to take her back.

If only Alexander would give her another chance, she could start over, go back to the good old days, being lovey-dovey with Alexander.

But Harrison and Alexander didn't give her this chance. They pushed her down the wrong path.

It wasn't her fault.

She was going to spill all of Harrison's beans, let Roxanne know everything, break their trust, break their marriage. She wouldn't let anyone off the hook.

"Mrs. Rodriguez, we have a lot to talk about. How about we go sit in your car and chat?" Hazel was such a pain in the ass.

Thinking about her betraying Mr. Alexander and having secret rendezvous with other men, Roxanne felt sick to her stomach.

This kind of dirty person didn't deserve to sit in her car.

"Sorry, I just had my car cleaned."

"Are you saying I'm dirty?"

"You realize you're dirty?"

Roxanne hated people who cheated on their marriages, regardless of gender.

Roxanne planned to ignore this disgusting woman in front of her.

She folded her umbrella, ready to get into the driver's seat.

At this moment, Hazel grabbed her and said, "Didn't anyone teach you about respecting people? I'm not done talking yet."

If she didn't ruin Roxanne and Harrison's marriage today, she wouldn't be Hazel.

"And you, who sleeps with other men, cheating on your marriage, cheating on your husband, you deserve respect?" Roxanne disdainfully shook off Hazel's hand and specifically took out a tissue from the car to wipe her hand. "So dirty!"

"You..." Hazel was so angry that she turned pale, almost forgetting why she came to find Roxanne.

"Hazel?"

At this time, a male voice rang.

The wrist of Hazel holding the umbrella was pulled back by a strong arm.

She turned her head to look, she didn't know the man. But Roxanne recognized him.

That was Dominic, her ex-boyfriend.

Ever since Aria was found last time, she and Dominic hadn't seen each other.

Dominic pulled Hazel away hurriedly and said, "Who are you? What are you doing? Let me go. If you don't let me go, I'm going to call the cops."

Hazel struggled a few times and was let go by Dominic.

Then, Dominic threw a few photos in her face.

The photos fell in the rain.

Hazel looked down; her face turned green, then pale.

The photos on the ground were of her and different men in hotel rooms.

Obviously, she was not wearing anything.

And in the photos, she was wild, completely different from her gentle appearance.

All her secrets were exposed, and Hazel was both ashamed and angry.

She stared at Dominic, "Where did you get these photos?"

"If you don't want people to know, don't do it." Dominic said lightly.

Hazel panicked.

She was at a loss as she asked, "What do you want? You want money?"

Dominic said, "If you keep quiet, these photos won't be public. Otherwise, you will become the focus of attention in Seraphim Haven, even on the whole internet."

Hazel understood more than anyone else.

Once these photos were exposed, she would become the laughing stock on the internet.

That would be utterly humiliating.

Although she divorced Alexander and was kicked out by her parents, not many people knew about it.

Her parents still left her some dignity.

Even though Alexander divorced her, they only announced it as a peaceful divorce.

Her scandal was not made public.

In the eyes of outsiders, she was still the daughter of the Dawson family, who enjoyed an excellent reputation in social circles.

If these photos were exposed, her reputation would be ruined.

She would not be able to lift her head in the social circle of Seraphim Haven.

No, she couldn't let this happen.

Hazel glanced at Roxanne, who was still standing by the car door, holding an umbrella, looking at her.

This time, she had to keep quiet.

She was unwilling. She stared at Dominic and asked, "Why should I believe you? What if I stop bothering her, and you still post these photos on the internet? What should I do?"

"Do you think you have a choice?" Dominic's tone was still cold.

Hazel couldn't deal with him.

With no choice, she had to compromise and said, "Fine, I agree."

"To alleviate Roxanne's suspicion, go and say a few words to her now. Follow my instructions." Dominic gave a few instructions.

Hazel obediently returned to Roxanne.

This time, her attitude became humble, no more cold sarcasm.

Hazel, holding her umbrella, said, "Mrs. Rodriguez, I heard that your husband Harrison has a relative who is a high-ranking official in the provincial government. I have something I want him to help with. Could your husband introduce him to me?"

Roxanne knew that Harrison had an uncle who was a high-ranking official in the provincial government.

The last time she had trouble at the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, it was this relative who helped to solve it.

Hazel knew this too?

For these rich people, it should be easy to find out these relationships, right?

But Roxanne didn't plan to help her.

First, she didn't want Harrison to ask for favors.

Second, Hazel didn't deserve it.

"You came to me for this?" Roxanne asked.

"Yes."

"Forget it; there's no way I'm helping you."

With the task completed, Hazel glanced at Dominic.

Dominic gave her a satisfied look, and Hazel left in a huff.

Then, Dominic came back to Roxanne under his umbrella.

The person he missed was right in front of him.

But because she was already married to Harrison, they had a clear boundary.

She was so close to him, yet so far away.

Dominic tried to control his pain and said expressionlessly, "Long time no see!"

If it wasn't for that accident, Roxanne would never have ended up tying the knot with Harrison. He would have settled down with Roxanne a long time ago. Their kid might've been around the same age as Aria by now.

Dominic was filled with resentment.

But what could he do?

The one hoping she could recover from her pain and find happiness again was him.

The one wishing she would never belong to any other man was also him.

Dominic was troubled. He even thought he was being ridiculous himself. However, facing his Roxanne, Dominic's inner turmoil was completely invisible.

Roxanne had long cut ties with Dominic. She had made up her mind during her journey to Marientown, facing the desolate wilderness, attacked by wolves, and experiencing life and death.

She decided to live her life for herself and not place so much importance on men.

Once someone insignificant was out of her life, she would never have any emotions for him.

So, Roxanne was quite cold towards Dominic.

She casually asked, "Do you also know Hazel?"

Dominic lied, "After Mr. Alexander divorced Hazel, there were some disputes. I was entrusted by Mr. Alexander to negotiate with Hazel."

Roxanne said, "All right, I have things to do. I'll go first."

She then got into her car.
