He tried his best to keep his cool, but he completely lost it.
No matter how tough things got at work before, he never got that cranky or messed up.
He felt that Roxanne just didn't give a damn about him. It wasn’t that she didn't care much, she just didn't care at all.
Suddenly, he felt the urge to blow off some steam, so he kicked Alexander and Samuel out of the conference room.
Then he stood alone by the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing at the view below.
Half the hustle and bustle of Seraphim Haven was in full sight.
Despite the arrival of winter, the city was anything but dreary. It was full of skyscrapers with cars coming and going; it was buzzing.
Born at the top of the power pyramid, he could look down on everyone else.
Every quality resource in this world was within his easy reach.
He was the richest man in Seraphim Haven who never got bothered by emotional problems, yet he lost his years-long emotional control because of a woman from the bottom of society.
That was unprecedented.
Outside the door, Alexander looked at the tightly closed conference room door and helplessly shook his head. He said, "Even Harrison can't resist the charm of a beautiful woman."
Alexander had never seen Harrison lose control of his emotions like that. It was clear how important Roxanne was to him.
But he was a stubborn guy who would admit nothing.
Alexander continued, "But if I were Roxanne, I wouldn't be able to stand this guy either."
It’s one thing to hide his identity, but he just casually mentioned breaking up?
Samuel put his arm around Alexander's shoulder and asked, "Harrison and Roxanne aren't really going to divorce, are they?"
Alexander laughed, "Don't worry, they're just squabbling."
Samuel asked, "They're not going to fight until they divorce, are they?"
Alexander said, "Let them fight. No one could control Harrison before. He wouldn't even listen to the chairman. Now that there’s someone who can control him, isn't that a good thing?"
Suddenly, Vincent showed up.
He had noticed that his daughter-in-law had been in a bad mood for the past few days. He wanted to ask Harrison about it, but he heard they were considering divorce.
It must have been Harrison’s fault.
"Is Harrison inside?" Vincent looked at the conference room door, intending to go in and give his arrogant son a piece of his mind.
What on earth had made his daughter-in-law unhappy? They were even considering divorce?
Alexander nodded at Vincent, "Chairman, Harrison is inside. I'll take you in."
Vincent walked in and his gaze sternly fixed on Harrison.
He thought it was a good thing that Roxanne could control Harrison because it showed he cared about her.
Harrison didn't know how to make his wife happy, and he was taking his anger out on others. What a headache!
Vincent suggested, "If you're feeling down, don't stay in the office. Take a break and think about how to win your wife back."
Could sweet talk sway Roxanne?
She was completely dedicated to her career. In her mind, he was insignificant.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt.
Turning around, Harrison looked at Vincent with anger and asked, "How do you know I'm not feeling well?"
Vincent frowned, "Alright, whoever is upset knows it best."
"Let's go." Turning around, Vincent pulled Alexander away and said, "Let him be upset by himself. After all, Roxanne hasn't been ignoring us. Let's not bother with him. He's making a mountain out of a molehill."
Alexander turned back and said, "Right, making a mountain out of a molehill!"
After they left, Vincent felt a little uneasy.
After learning some things from Alexander, he felt something was off.
