The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 178

Chloe said, "Your behavior is so disgusting, and you have no shame about it. Are you proud? How can someone like you flaunt yourself in front of me?"

Her words hit home, and Hazel had no rebuttal.

Hazel willingly messed around with other men, was unfaithful to her own husband, and wrecked her reputation.

That was why Alexander left her.

Hazel was speechless.

Her face turned red with anger and then pale again.

"You, you damn..."

After noticing that Hazel was losing her cool, Chloe felt a sense of satisfaction.

But this was not enough.

Chloe crossed her arms in front of her chest and confidently spoke, "I'm different. Yes, I've had romantic experiences. I've been married and divorced. But Alexander accepts me. That means I'm way better than you, a disgraced woman, don't you think?"

Unable to find any rebuttal, Hazel could only listen in silence while grinding her teeth.

Chloe continued. "Listen, Hazel. I'm Alexander's publicly recognized girlfriend now. You, his ex-wife who betrayed him, are history. Don't even think about competing with me for Alexander."

"Even when you were unconscious, he didn't want to look at you. I was the one who persuaded him to send you to the hospital. You owe me your life!"

"He has no feelings for you anymore."

"You'd better give up the idea of reconciling with him."

After saying this, Chloe stared at Hazel sternly, warning her not to cross the line.

They locked eyes for a moment, and Chloe sent her a clear message. She wouldn't back down easily. Then she turned around and walked away confidently.

Hazel stood by the bed. She felt defeated and began weeping.

She had pulled out the IV needle in her struggle to get out of bed.

So now her hand was bleeding.

The nurse didn't know how to react.

She initially thought the woman who had burst in was a mistress who had stolen this patient's boyfriend.

But it turned out that Hazel had been messing around with other men, not just one, and that was why her husband wanted a divorce.

Now her husband had a new girlfriend, but she still wanted to cling to him?

Why didn't she cherish what she had when she had it?

The nurse felt disgusted by Hazel and didn't even want to give her an IV.

But as a healthcare professional, she had a duty to perform, so she stepped forward, grabbed Hazel's hand, and said, "Sit back on the bed; I'll give you an injection. Don't move; it'll hurt if you do."

Hazel screamed in pain. "Are you trying to kill me? Can you even give an injection properly? If not, get out!"

The nurse coldly replied. "You were the one who moved; why are you blaming me?"

The nurse felt disgusted when looking at this woman, who had betrayed her husband, and put a little more force into the injection than necessary. After that, she turned around and left.

Such people were simply disgusting.

After leaving the hospital, Alexander gave Chloe a lift to work.

He was driving but didn't take his Rolls-Royce today because Chloe's workplace was in Urban Sun Village.

The entrance was a narrow alley, and it would be inconvenient to drive a Rolls-Royce in.

In the car, he gripped the steering wheel and said, "Your response to Hazel was very confident. You should keep that confidence."

"That was just an act. Actually, I know my status is not high, so I don't blame Hazel for thinking I'm not good enough for you."

But then she quickly added, "Don't worry, I won't let Hazel get the upper hand in front of me."

She was well aware of her own situation and knew how to conduct herself.

At a red light, Alexander glanced at her. "Hazel will definitely be hostile to you; if she gives you any trouble, call me right away."

He dropped her off at the office and then left.

Roxanne saw Chloe standing at the door, watching Alexander's car leave, and came over to lightly pat her shoulder.

"Are you so reluctant to part? Did something happen between you and Mr. Alexander last night?"

Chloe was startled.

Roxanne had a mischievous smile on her face. "Chloe, did you sleep with him last night?"

"What are you talking about?" Chloe started to get nervous.

"Why were you looking so reluctant when Mr. Alexander's car was leaving?"

"I wasn't reluctant!"

"Oh, are you blushing?"

"I'm not!!"

"Haha." Roxanne laughed. "I think a new chapter of your love life is about to begin. Look, you didn't even remove the makeup I did for you yesterday."

Chloe was speechless.

"Did you keep the makeup on because you were afraid you wouldn't look good in front of Mr. Alexander?"

Chloe was a bit evasive; she didn’t want to admit it. She was a bit shy.

Roxanne originally thought that Chloe would become depressed after the hurt Oliver had caused her. She thought Chloe would even be afraid to get involved in a relationship again.

However, to her surprise, just three or four months after Chloe's divorce from Oliver, a perfect man named Alexander appeared in her life, reigniting her hope and longing for love.

This was a good thing.

Roxanne saw through Chloe's thoughts but didn't say it out loud to save her the embarrassment.

She linked arms with Chloe and said, "I'll give you the makeup kit I used yesterday and teach you how to do your makeup properly. We don't necessarily put on makeup just to please others, right? We have the right to look beautiful every day."

Chloe went along with it. "Yes, who said I put on makeup for Mr. Alexander? I do it because it makes me feel more energetic and confident."

"Right, right, right, it's not for Mr. Alexander." Roxanne agreed, a secret smile playing on her lips. She was more convinced than ever that Chloe was starting to care about Mr. Alexander's opinion of her.

In the following days, she noticed that Chloe had not only started wearing makeup but also signed up for yoga classes nearby. Chloe was going to yoga every day at lunchtime, returning more refreshed and energetic each time. She seemed more concerned about her appearance now.

After a long day, Roxanne came home late at night. After her shower, she crawled into bed, longing to curl up in Harrison's arms. Harrison, however, had already pulled her towards him. She yawned and prepared for sleep, but she wanted to share her news with Harrison first.

"Harrison, I have some good news." She said while nestled in his arms. "Chloe has started wearing makeup every day, going to yoga classes, and even looking up ways to get rid of freckles online. She must be starting a new romance soon."

Harrison turned to face her, his eyes full of tenderness. He leaned over her and spoke with a hint of jealousy in his voice. "In my arms, you're not allowed to talk about others. Got it?"

The more dissatisfied he was, the more insistent he became. So an intimate moment began. Roxanne, while pushing against his chest, reminded him. "You need to get a condom. I'm on the pill right now and can't get pregnant."

Harrison got up quickly, as if he were following an order, but came back frowning. "We're out."

"What? Are we out already? Didn't we just buy some at the beginning of the month?" Roxanne sat up, her pajamas half undone, revealing her soft curves and delicate skin.
