The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 211

"I really don't lack material things."

She was already married to the richest man in Seraphim Haven. What else could she have possibly needed?

Whatever she wanted, Harrison would give it to her.

Roxanne waved the stick in her hand, "Alexander, I accept your gift. But if you dare to pull a fast one on me with Harrison again, I'll use this stick to teach you a lesson."

Alexander's forehead tightened.

He suddenly felt a burning sensation on his back.

As Evelyn pulled Roxanne away, he nudged Harrison's elbow and whispered, "You shut down Roxanne's company and fired all her staff. Did you even tell her? Don't drag me into your mess."

Those things were all Harrison's doing.

Alexander felt pressured.

If Roxanne didn't know about that, wouldn't he be in deep trouble for helping Harrison pull such a stunt?

Harrison didn't respond.

Alexander shot him a look, whispering, "Didn't you say you'd tell Roxanne once she's out of the hospital?"

"I'll handle it." Harrison said, his gaze on Roxanne, who was now sitting on the couch, and his brows furrowed.

A sense of suppression filled his features.

Evelyn was very fond of Roxanne.

"I really admire you. When Harrison said he was broke. His house was seized by the bank, and he borrowed money from you, you didn't even turn him down. Weren't you afraid of marrying a con artist who would swindle all your wealth?"

Roxanne chuckled, "Your brother is indeed a con artist. If I hadn't fallen for his tricks, how would I have become part of your family? Didn't I score big time?"

"No, it's Harrison who scored. It's his luck to marry a woman like you. You aren't after his wealth and are willing to face difficulties with him."

Evelyn, the daughter of a wealthy family herself, understood the power dynamics and reality of social interactions.

Harrison was very handsome. But if he was just a poor worker, no matter how good-looking he was, he wouldn't have been liked by so many rich heiresses.

Only Roxanne accepted him despite his ordinary status.

Just because of that, Evelyn really liked Roxanne.

"Did you know that your marriage to Harrison has been spread among our family and high society? Everyone is curious about you. Our relatives want to meet you. Did Vincent tell you that he's planning a party at the villa to formally introduce you to the family?"

Roxanne looked nervous. She asked, "A party?"

She had only seen such grand events on TV. She had never actually attended one.

"Yes." Evelyn smiled, "A party that Vincent is throwing especially for you."

Roxanne was surprised.

"I forgot to introduce you two to each other. This is Nora, my best friend."

Evelyn took Nora's hand and said, "You've met Nora before. You bumped into her car last time, remember?"

Roxanne remembered very clearly.

"Roxanne, I'm finally able to meet you formally." Nora said politely, "I've always wanted to be friends with you, but I didn't have the courage."

Ever since she knew that Harrison had married Roxanne and treated her genuinely, Nora had given up all her feelings for Harrison.

Seeing the man she loved being with a woman who wasn't after his wealth, Nora felt relieved.

She believed that Roxanne would treat Harrison wholeheartedly.

However, all the things Nora once wanted to do for Harrison and care for him, she then needed someone else to do, which made her feel a bit melancholic.

But she had accepted that fate.

"Let's get to know each other officially today. I'm Nora." Nora extended her hand, indicating a handshake with Roxanne.

Roxanne generously extended her right hand and said, "I’m Roxanne. We're friends from now on."

The three women chatted and gradually warmed up to each other.

In the evening, Harrison and Roxanne treated them to dinner.

After seeing them off, Harrison stood in front of the villa, one hand around Roxanne's waist, pulling her close.

With his other hand, he pinched her nose, "So you and Nora are friends now? Aren't you afraid she still has feelings for me and will make some moves?"

"You're overthinking." Roxanne turned her head to look at the discontent man.

"Nora is a good girl who truly understands people. She's not cunning at all; nothing like her sneaky sister."

"What if she's as good at pretending as her sister?" Harrison purposely tested her.
