The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 237

A deep sense of bitterness filled her heart.

Her throat tightened sporadically.

Holding back her tears, Roxanne said,

"I won't seek help from Harrison anymore. We're divorced and he's under no obligation to help me."

She felt utterly disheveled.

If it hadn’t been Dino’s strange suicide by jumping off a building, she might have be raped by the jerk.

Having narrowly escaped that then being questioned at the police station all night, and was released on the third day, she felt herself sour, smelly and dirty.

If she were to tell anyone that she was the ex-wife of Seraphim Haven's wealthiest man, no one would believe.

She patted Chloe on the shoulder, “Chloe, from now on, Let’s keep Harrison and me separately. Don’t associate me with Harrison anymore. Let's go home. We're sour and smelly and it's time for a good shower.”

Chloe caught up with her, “Anne, are you saying that Harrison wouldn’t even see you when you asked him for help? Is he really that heartless? Has he truly stopped contacting you?”

Roxanne didn’t respond.

She called an Uber on her phone and waited by the roadside.

She happened to notice Harrison's Rolls Royce parked in the police station’s parking lot.

His car was too conspicuous, even when surrounded by police cars, it still stood out.

Just like himself, his presence was too overpowering.

How could she believed back then, thinking he was just an ordinary man who had gone bankrupt and had to work for a living?

If she had knew he was a wealthy and influential capitalist, she would have nerve agreed to marry him.

In front of the Rolls Royce, Anthony was bending down to inspect the car.

When he got up, he noticed Roxanne and quickly walked over, "Ma’am, what are you doing here?"

"I'm not your ma’am anymore." Roxanne said with a bitter smile, "Anthony, if we ever meet in the again, just call me by my name. But we probably won't meet often."

Anthony felt a tinge of sadness, "Madam, what’s happened? Why are you all dirty? what happened?"

"Nothing." Roxanne gave a curt smile, "Just had a tumble."

Anthony didn't want to expose her lie, but seeing her disheveled appearance and knowing she'd just come from the police station, he was certain something had happened.

Anthony wanted to ask her what happened but didn’t know how to start.

"I'm walking across the road to catch a ride." Roxanne said goodbye to Anthony and walked away with Chloe.

Anthony called out after her, "Ma’am, when you went to see Mr. Harrison the night before last, he actually didn't refuse to see you."

Roxanne turned back to him, "I was just passing by that day, I didn't go to see him on purpose."

Anthony knew that on that day, she was there looking for Mr. Harrison that day.

And Mr. Harrison had spotted her, but he had refused to see her.

Anthony didn't reveal her lie and continued to speak well of Mr. Harrison.

"Ma’am, perhaps Mr. Harrison is pretending to be cold because he’s still upset with you. Ma’am, Mr. Harrison does have you in his heart. After your divorce, Mr. Harrison lost his appetite, and he has never smiled. We’re all very careful around him, afraid to upset him."

Roxanne's smile froze, her expression filled with a mixture of sadness and confusion, "Is he really unhappy?"

"Of course!"

"Anthony, you always know how to cheer me up."

"Ma’am, I'm speaking the truth."

"Anthony, please don’t call me ‘ma’am’ anymore. I'm leaving."

Anthony watched as she and her friend cross the zebra crossing.

Then, they got into a car.

Even after the car had disappeared from sight, Anthony was still staring at this direction, sighing.

Alexander accidentally revealed the information about Harrison and Roxanne's divorce.

Right now, Dominic resembled an enraged beast, charging straight for Harrison's office.

Alexander did his best to hold him back, grabbing Dominic’s arm to prevent him from barging in. "Domi, calm down. Don't act impulsively. What are you're doing?"

"Let go." Dominic's face was rigid with anger.

He gritted his teeth and warned, "If you don't let go, I won't be polite with you."

With a swift wave, he shook off Alexander's grasp and stormed into Harrison's office.

At that moment, Harrison was standing by his desk, sipping coffee.

Seeing Harrison so relaxed only infuriated Dominic more.

"You son of a gun, Harrison. What did you tell me in the first place? You said you'd take care of Roxanne for a lifetime. And now, not even a year into your marriage, you divorce her. Is this how you take care of her?"

Dominic removed his staff ID card hanging from around his neck.

With a snap, he threw it on Harrison's desk. "I no longer care about your 6G-Technology project. Do whatever you want with it."

The 6G research at Rodriguez Group had always been a target for foreign power and faced multiple threats of theft.

If not for Dominic, their security system might have probably been breached a long time ago.

Dominic had joined the 6G-Technology team for Roxanne.

Dominic wasn't motivated by money; the high salary Harrison offered wasn't what attracted him.

He was always there for Roxanne, and because of her, he wanted to help Harrison with his business.

Harrison was well aware of this.

Disappointed and angry, Dominic blurted out, "What Roxanne hated most was being abandoned. Now that you've divorced her, she'll probably never open her heart to anyone ever again. Harrison, you're a damn scoundrel."

Harrison, unwilling to be wrongfully accused, said with a stern expression, "Roxanne was the one who asked for the divorce. I'm not the one at fault."
