The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 36

Harrison was at this place because he was one of the owners. This mansion, with an initial price tag in the tens of millions of dollars, was just one of his many properties. To be more precise, the entire mansion complex was just a small part of the Rodriguez Group's investment portfolio. This time, he had come to retrieve something.

While sitting in the car, he saw Roxanne being ushered away by security guards. At this moment, Roxanne appeared somewhat embarrassed.

All of this was Oliver's fault. Oliver had no ownership in this place, yet he insisted on being overbearing with the duty-bound security and even tried to start a fight with them. Now, he had been thrown out. It was truly embarrassing!

Harrison instructed his driver, Anthony, to stop the car.

After getting out, he made a call to his butler. Then he briskly walked over to where Roxanne was.

At this point, both Oliver and Roxanne had been expelled from the entrance of the estate.

As Harrison approached, he saw Roxanne standing under the shade of a tree, looking rather dejected, while Oliver was still there, complaining.

"Roxanne!"

Harrison walked up to them under the tree.

"Harrison?" Roxanne looked up at him. "What are you doing here?"

Harrison gave Oliver a disdainful glance and asked, "What are you doing here with him? Do you have some business here?"

Oliver had shown inappropriate intentions toward Roxanne before. Harrison couldn't stand Oliver.

Roxanne couldn't stand Oliver either, especially after he had just caused a scene with others and then, when faced with a crowd, backed down so easily. He didn't act like a real man. If it weren't for Oliver, Roxanne might have already successfully infiltrated the estate. But that guy was just deadweight.

"I didn't want to come with him."

Roxanne gave Oliver a scornful look and then explained to Harrison about the need for a doctor for Aria.

Harrison furrowed his brow, thinking for a moment. "What's the name of the doctor you're looking for? I know some doctor friends; maybe they can help."

Roxanne replied urgently, "His name is Smith. Harrison, could you ask your doctor friends if they know him and if he can perform surgery on Aria?"

Oliver sneered, "Harrison, why are you asking so many questions? Do you really think you can reach this Dr. Smith? Do you think you have the power to handle everything?"

Harrison didn't want to meddle too much. He certainly didn't want to help solve Oliver's problems.

However, despite Oliver being Aria's father, she was still an innocent child. Harrison had heard from Roxanne that Aria was only six years old, a very innocent age. She was particularly adorable and well-behaved. Oliver might be detestable, but that didn't change Harrison's sympathy for an innocent little girl, especially one in such a precarious situation.

He couldn't stand by and watch an innocent child suffer.

He cast a cold glance at Oliver. "If you're capable, then why don't you contact Dr. Smith?"

Clearly, Oliver had no way of contacting Dr. Smith. He couldn't even get past the gates of Grandeur Meadows, let alone get in touch with Dr. Smith. Now that Harrison had a way of helping Aria, Oliver had nothing to say.

Harrison looked at Oliver coldly. "If you can't solve the problem, then don't say anything."

Oliver always felt an intangible pressure emanating from Harrison. This pressure suffocated him. It was truly peculiar! Despite being bankrupt and having nothing, how could Harrison possess such an aura?

Oliver, acutely aware of his own lack of sufficient strength and unable to find Dr. Smith, dared not speak further.

Roxanne, worried about Aria's well-being, urged Harrison, "Don't pay any more attention to Oliver. Quickly call and inquire about the situation."

"Don't worry, I'll make the call now." Harrison also hoped Aria would recover quickly. He walked aside and made a phone call. The issue was swiftly resolved. He returned to Roxanne's side.

"Dr. Smith agreed. He'll visit Aria's condition at the hospital in an hour and then formulate the surgical plan."

"Oliver, you need to go and pay for our daughter's surgery. The hospital needs the payment before they can schedule the procedure. Dr. Smith also has to get back after the surgery; time is of the essence."

"Where am I supposed to get that much money?"

Chloe couldn't believe her ears. "How can you possibly not have any money?"

Oliver raised his voice, "Don't I need money for entertaining clients outside? Treating them to meals, handling social affairs… doesn't all that cost money?"

"Even so, you can't have spent it all, right? We bought the house long ago, and the monthly mortgage isn't that high. Besides, even if you need to entertain clients, you should still have plenty of money left. No matter how much you spend, you can't possibly have spent everything," Chloe retorted.

Chloe had merely asked a few more questions, but Oliver's guilty conscience had made him agitated.

"Chloe, I can spend my money however I want. What right do you have to question me?" He retorted.

Over the years, Oliver had always maintained this attitude, making it impossible for Chloe to have any control over the family's finances. If it weren't for Aria's urgent need for surgery, Chloe wouldn't have questioned this.

She had no job, and asking for money from a man was difficult in itself. But she needed to take care of her children, and she had no means to earn money. She should have listened to Roxanne's advice not to have a second child so quickly and should have gone to work when Aria started preschool. But now was not the time for regrets, and it was certainly not the time to argue with Oliver.

"So you don't want to lend me the money? Fine, I'll figure it out myself. Once Aria is better, we can get a divorce."

"Divorce?" Oliver scoffed. "Chloe, you're a woman who hasn't worked for seven years. What grounds do you have for divorcing me?"

Chloe gritted her teeth, feeling absolutely furious. "If you look down on me so much, then let's get a divorce so we can both be free!”

Oliver mocked her, "Free? What will you do once you're free? Find another man?"

"Look at your sagging skin, blemishes on the face, and you've already been in bed with me countless times and have had two children. Which man would want you, a woman with a face full of worry lines?"
