The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 44

Harrison arrived with bodyguards, but he was too late. Even though he usually appeared alone, without

any bodyguards accompanying him, the truth was that his top-notch security personnel were dispersed

among the local citizens, concealed in various corners.

Under Harrison's guidance, these bodyguards cleared a path for him to walk through.

Just as Roxanne was reaching her breaking point, Harrison stood in front of her, shielding her and

helping her escape. She had no idea that Harrison had sent bodyguards to protect her. In that moment

as Harrison protected her, he seemed like a hero.

When they finally reached a location where no one could follow, Harrison stopped. He, too, had been

dirtied in the process of protecting her.

Roxanne felt truly sorry to see him, who usually appeared so clean, covered in filth.

"Harrison, I'm sorry. I've involved you in this and made things so difficult for you."

"We're a married couple. There's no need for apologies."

He helped her wipe the dirt off her face. He had never seen her in such a disheveled and pitiable state

before.

"Don't worry, no one will dare harass you outside your company tomorrow."

Unbeknownst to Roxanne, Harrison had already made arrangements.

She didn't want Harrison to see her in such a state of disarray and lowered her head, feeling wronged.

"Harrison, do I look very ugly like this?"

"Not at all."

"You're just trying to comfort me."

"I'm really not lying; you don't look ugly."

"Harrison, could I lean on your shoulder?"

Harrison didn't respond, so Roxanne took it as his agreement. In reality, Harrison wanted to hold her

close, offering a comforting embrace.

But what Roxanne truly needed right now was a shoulder to lean on. She leaned against his shoulder,

despite the dirt on his clothes.

Neither of them cared about each other's smell. It was the first time Harrison realized that the usually

independent Roxanne also needed him at times. This feeling of being needed was truly wonderful.

He patted her back gently. "It's okay, it's okay."

Harrison had Alexander gather information about Sebastian's current wife and son. Sebastian's son

was named Nathaniel Martinez. He worked as the CFO at an investment company under the

Rodriguez Group, earning a yearly salary of five hundred thousand dollars. He owned several

properties in Seraphim Haven, including two expensive sports cars and SUVs. Some of these

properties were gifted by Sebastian in the past, while others Nathaniel purchased himself.

Harrison also found out that the idea to defame Roxanne on the internet came from Nathaniel.

With the information collected, Harrison decided to help Roxanne resolve the online defamation issue.

Vincent was deeply saddened by Roxanne's situation.

How could such a good daughter have such a malicious father? Vincent gave Harrison an order.

"Harrison, I don't care. You go online and take down all the distorted videos about Sebastian."

Since the Rodriguez Group held shares in two of these media companies and Harrison knew the

controllers of the remaining major online media outlets, it only took a few minutes to take down the

videos from their official websites and self-media platforms.

"Dad, you used to be the chairman of the company. If we remove these videos, won't new ones

attacking Roxanne appear? Haven't you thought about that?"

Could that villain Sebastian really stop at this?

He definitely wouldn't.

Harrison said, "To solve this problem, we need to show the truth to the public and give Roxanne

justice."

Vincent retorted, "But people online often only believe what they see and hear. They trust what's

presented to them. Sebastian abandoning Roxanne happened twenty-four years ago; it's not easy to

clarify this with just words."

"Don't worry, I'm gathering evidence."

Vincent added, "Also, go talk to the local police station and city management department, so that those

internet users don't cause trouble at Roxanne's company."

"I've already arranged that."

"So quickly?"

Vincent noticed that Harrison was becoming more and more invested in Roxanne's affairs and taking

practical actions to protect and support her. This was a good sign. As long as his son cared enough

about this matter, Vincent could rest assured. He had complete trust in his son's capabilities.

As usual, Roxanne rode her electric bike and took Harrison to the subway station. Even though his long

legs were in an awkward position while sitting on her small electric bike, he started to get used to it.

Riding with her allowed him to see different scenery, something he couldn’t experience in his luxurious

car.

He felt the air was fresher as he sat on Roxanne's electric bike. So, despite having reached the subway

station, Harrison wasn't in a hurry to get off the electric bike. Roxanne looked back and said, "Why

haven't you gotten off? It's almost eight o'clock. You have to be at work by 8:30 a.m. Aren’t you afraid

of being late?”

He was the boss of the company. He could go to work whenever he pleased.

Accompanying her to the subway station on her electric bike every day was just to avoid her finding out

his true identity for now.

After she questioned him, Harrison finally got off the electric bike. Roxanne asked, “Don’t your feet get

numb when you ride my electric bike?”

Harrison replied, “No.”

“Well then, hurry up and go to work.”

“Don’t worry too much about Sebastian. I have a friend who’s a private detective. He can help me

gather some evidence that’s favorable for you.”

“There’s no need to trouble your friend. Favors should be maintained; if you owe someone a favor, you

have to repay it. I’ve already figured out a solution. I’ll handle it myself.”

“We’re husband and wife. Why are you being so polite to me?”

“Now, go to work already.”

Harrison had to pretend to take the subway.

In reality, his driver, Anthony, had been waiting on the other side of the road for quite some time.

Anthony waited for Mr. Harrison every day from a distance.

Harrison could have just gotten into the car nearby, but he insisted on riding Roxanne's electric bike to

the subway station.

After watching Harrison enter the subway station, Roxanne noticed something later on. Did Harrison

hold her waist particularly tightly when he was on her electric bike? Was he worried about falling off?

That was weird since she hadn’t ridden that fast today.

Roxanne arrived at a nearby alley near her company and saw that there were many security personnel

patrolling it. Both the police station and the city management department were mobilized. Many tall,

suited men who seemed like bodyguards stood there, appearing quite formidable. What were they

doing? Could it be that they were capturing criminals nearby, like they did last time? But if they were

arresting criminals, local police officers would be enough. Why were there so many people who looked

like bodyguards?

She had no idea that her husband had used his connections to mobilize them to protect her from being

harassed again.

At the company, Oliver was still pressuring her to withdraw her shares. It was really frustrating.

"Roxanne, didn't you say you would double the company's sales? Look at how far the sales have

dropped now!"

"You should give me some more time."

"For how long? Three days, five days? If this continues, the whole company will suffer because of you."

"Give me three more days."

"Alright, Roxanne, as you say. If the company's online business is affected by you three days from now,

you will automatically withdraw from the company. You won't even get your invested capital back.

Consider it compensation for the losses the company suffered."

"Oliver, how can you treat Roxanne like this? She worked hard during the initial stages of the company.

You don't understand anything, and the online business was started by Roxanne. You can't just

abandon her like this."

Oliver retorted strongly, "Is this called abandonment? Because of Roxanne, our company doesn't even

have a single order now. Rent for the office building, employee salaries, supplier payments… none of

them can be avoided, right? Are we all going to suffer because of her?" This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The company's financial staff chimed in, "Yes, Roxanne, because of you, we won't even be able to pay

salaries next month. By then, we'll have to find new jobs."

The difficult situation they were in now was all caused by Sebastian.

Roxanne's mind was in chaos; she was completely muddled. "Just give me a few more days; I'll find a

way to fix this."

She rode her electric bike alone, aimlessly wandering along the riverbank. As she walked, she racked

her brain, trying to come up with a solution.

Harrison's arranged bodyguards were trailing behind at a distance and kept him updated on the

situation.

"Mr. Rodriguez, Roxanne has been riding her electric bike by the riverside for several rounds now.

Could she be in danger? Should I monitor her more closely?"
