The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 38

Upon hearing Roxanne's suggestion, Chloe furrowed her brow, "Are you sure this approach will work?"

Roxanne replied confidently, "We won't know until we try. As long as you can play your role convincingly without any mistakes, I believe they'll fall for it."

"Roxanne, but doesn't this seem a bit too cunning? After all, we're still family."

"You've treated them as family and given your all for them. You have children and still take care of their entire family. But have they treated you like family?"

"They haven't really treated me like family."

As she recalled the injustices she had suffered over the past few years, Chloe couldn't quell the anger burning within her anymore.

However, she worried that she might not have the necessary skills and cunning to engage in a fight with her own family.

After listening to Chloe's concerns, Roxanne encouraged her, "Chloe, don't worry about not having enough abilities. Think about your two children. Without money and a house, how would you protect them? Be realistic; don't be too kind to others. Otherwise, they will take advantage of you."

Chloe made a firm decision and nodded resolutely, "Roxanne, I'll take your advice."

She decided to take action immediately.

When Aria was discharged from the hospital after her surgery, Chloe took care of her while studying the stock market.

Recently, Charlotte noticed that after Chloe finished work, she would leave Austin and Aria in Amelia's care.

Chloe would then sit on the couch for hours with a computer in front of her.

Charlotte asked, "Chloe, are you researching stocks?"

Chloe stared at the computer and replied, "Yes."

Charlotte wanted her money, "Where did you get the money to buy stocks? If you have money, why not let me keep it safe? Why invest in risky stocks?"

Ha! Did she want her money again?

She once said she would keep Aria and Austin's childbirth fund safe for her.

However, she never returned it.

If she gave her money to this nasty old woman to keep, she would truly be a fool.

Chloe decided not to argue with Charlotte.

Roxanne had told her to stay calm, and also learn how and when to act.

In the battle against the villains in this family, she couldn't confront them head-on; she had to use strategies.

Otherwise, she would suffer great losses.

While suppressing her anger, Chloe pretended, "Mom, you're the one managing things at home. If I really had money, I would definitely have you keep it for me. All this money is tied up in stocks, and I can't access it at the moment."

"In fact, I borrowed this money to invest in stocks. I thought that if the stocks made money, I could repay the debt for Aria's surgery."

"Can you really make money?" Charlotte asked, feeling skeptical.

"Of course! I have a college classmate who works in stock funds. He has insider information, so making money is very possible."

Charlotte found Oliver.

"Oliver, you're right. Chloe indeed managed to borrow money. Not only for Aria's surgery, but she also borrowed money to invest in stocks. Can she really make money by investing in stocks?"

"Her college classmate does work with stock funds, and if he truly provided her with insider information, making money isn't impossible."

During dinner, Chloe intentionally withdrew a lot of cash, placing fresh banknotes conspicuously on the dining table.

The pile of cash on the table amounted to twelve thousand dollars.

Charlotte was flabbergasted to see so much money.

"Chloe, how did you get so much money?" she asked.

Chloe touched the cash and explained, "I earned it through stock trading."

She collected the cash, placed it into a bag one by one, and handed it to Amelia.

"Amelia, this is money I borrowed from Roxanne to pay for Aria's surgery. Please go to Roxanne later and give her the money."

With two thousand dollars remaining, Chloe gave it to Charlotte, "Mom, please keep this part for me."
