The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 47

Wasn't her life already a hot mess?

Being attacked by strangers, getting pelted with rotten eggs, misunderstood and criticized, even her company's business was seriously affected. Employees were demanding salaries and wanting to quit.

If things continued this way, her company would go belly up for sure. Running a small business was already a hard slog. It was a struggle just to survive. After Sebastian Martinez smeared her name online, it was like adding insult to injury, driving her into a corner. Did Sebastian want to make things even worse for her?

She clenched her phone, her newly adjusted mood flaring up again. "Sebastian, you want the house and living expenses, right? Let's meet and talk."

An hour later.

Roxanne Martinez was waiting for Sebastian in a coffee shop.

When Sebastian showed up, he still had his cane, but his face was full of arrogance. It seemed like he had Roxanne all figured out. "Are the house and living expenses ready? If not, we have nothing to discuss."

Roxanne poured some coffee, not even glancing at Sebastian, "Can't we just sit down and have a civil conversation as father and daughter?"

"No need to talk. I have only one condition. You buy a house in full payment under my name and pay me thirty years of living expenses in one go. Then, I'll speak well of you online."

"Dad!"

When Roxanne shouted, "Dad,” the cup in her hand was trembling, along with her lips.

She choked back tears. She hadn't had the chance to call him 'Dad' since she was four.

Where was her dad? Where could she call out for her dad?

So unfamiliar. So hateful. So painful. And so yearned for.

Who didn't yearn for a father's love?

"When did you remember that you had a daughter like me?"

For a split second, a hint of guilt flashed in Sebastian's eyes, just a hint, but it was gone quickly. Maybe he knew he had failed Roxanne as a father. But that wasn't going to make him soften up.

He was getting impatient, "Quit beating around the bush. If you don't have the house and living expenses ready, we have nothing to discuss."

"You want the house and living expenses, fine. Sit down and listen to me. When I'm done, I'll satisfy your demands," Roxanne deliberately took out a bank card and placed it on the table. "This is all my savings. As you said, I became a boss outside, started a company, and made quite a bit of money."

Sebastian was indeed fooled by this and sat down.

In reality, there was no money on Roxanne's card.
