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.
