The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 238

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Dominic's fist swung toward Harrison, aiming for his cheek, but was caught mid-air by Harrison's swift reaction.

"You wanna fight?"

"Harrison, you're not a man."

Dominic had believed that Harrison was different from other wealthy guys, and thought he wasn't the type to be overly macho. He assumed Harrison would genuinely care for Roxanne.

Yet he didn't know Roxanne well and he divorced her without a second thought.

Dominic furiously knocked over the cup of coffee Harrison was holding, spilling it over his pristine suit.

Harrison retaliated, his temper flaring. The recent divorce had left him in a foul mood with no outlet for his frustration.

In the ensuing brawl, Alexander tried to intervene, only to get caught in the crossfire. He eventually gave up trying to stop them.

He had always believed these two rivals would coexist peacefully. Little did he know that a day would come when their fists would meet. Alexander decided to let them fight; perhaps this was the only way they could vent their anger.

But it seemed none of them had intention of stopping.

Harrison's punch shattered Dominic's glasses, leaving his eye swollen and bruised. Dominic landed a punch on Harrison's cheek, leaving a nasty bruise.

"What the hell are you guys doing?"

Their fight was interrupted by Evelyn's entrance.

She yelled, and the two men stopped their fight, their face dark with anger, finally letting go of each other.

She had heard about Harrison's divorce from Vincent Rodriguez and had rushed over to his office in order to persuade him to reconcile with Roxanne.

However, she now saw her beloved man and Harrison in the middle of a fight.

Of course, Evelyn’s first instinct was to protect her beloved, and she rushed forward to inspect Dominic’s injuries. She felt a surge of heartache.

"Dominic, are you okay?"

"None of your business." Dominic pushed Evelyn's hand away, refusing to let her touch his eye.

Evelyn turned to glare at Harrison. "Why did you hit so hard, Harrison? You've swollen Dominic’s eye!"

"He started it," Harrison retorted, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Serves him right!" Evelyn snapped. "It's your fault for divorcing Roxanne. Dominic had every reason to punch you."

Evelyn was heartbroken, though. The harshness of Dominic's punch was a clear indication of his deep feelings for Roxanne.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so furious about their divorce. Dominic was usually such a refined gentleman.

But Evelyn didn't want anyone to see her jealousy. As Dominic stormed off, she quickly followed him.

"Dominic, wait for me. Let's get you to a hospital."

"No need."

Evelyn, in her high heels, jogged to block Dominic's path. "Dominic, now that Harrison and Roxanne are divorced, are you planning to win Roxanne back?"

"Can't you see that Roxanne is still loving Harrison?" Dominic touched his swollen eye. He could bear the physical pain, but the pain in his heart was unbearable.

"I didn't want Harrison and Roxanne to divorce either."

"This matter is beyond your control."

Dominic sidestepped Evelyn and walked away.

As she watched him leave, Evelyn called out, "Dominic, are you really going to give up Harrison's 6G-Technology project? Harrison needs your help. Please, don't quit."

Dominic didn't respond. He paused briefly before continuing on his way.

A few days later, Alexander found Roxanne at a pork knuckle fast-food restaurant.

Roxanne was having dinner alone.
