The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 117

Based on what Harrison said, Roxanne recalled the leader with a bit of a belly she met yesterday.

She seemed to recall Nathaniel calling him Mr. Caleb.

She reconfirmed with Harrison, "Harrison, is the boss of Investor Complex a guy named Mr. Caleb? I

heard him saying yesterday that Nathaniel has gotten the attention of the big shot of the company, and

he might be in trouble."

"Yep." Harrison replied, "Mr. Caleb is the boss of Investor Complex, and he happens to be your half-

brother's superior."

"I don't acknowledge him as my brother."

For a good ten or twenty years, he never sought her out to acknowledge kinship.

Now that Sebastian was bedridden and needed someone to take care of him, he finally remembered to

ask her for help.

For such a relative, she wanted him to stay away from her. Seeing her anger, Harrison quickly patted

her head in an attempt to comfort her.

But he rationally reminded her, "You're just saying this out of anger, but he's still technically your half-

brother."

"I don't need a brother like that."

"Roxanne." Harrison said rationally, "To deal with people like him, you should use the most rational and

effective way, so he's scared of you, then he'll behave."

"What's the most rational and effective way?"

Harrison handed Roxanne an envelope.

"Take a look."

"What?"

After she took it, Roxanne opened it and finally understood what Harrison meant by the most rational

and effective way.

"Harrison, are you suggesting I fight Nathaniel for the property?"

Harrison nodded.

"I remember you telling me last time that Nathaniel owns ten properties at Seraphim Haven. Two of

which were bought for him by Sebastian."

"You did tell me. You said your friend helped you look it up."

Only now did Roxanne think to ask him, "Harrison, how did your friend find out all these details about

Nathaniel?"

"You forgot I used to be a businessman. Even though I'm bankrupt now, I still know quite a few people."

"Oh."

That's right.

He could afford luxury houses before he went bankrupt.

"Nathaniel has been threatening you, you should fight back and beat him."

"So, you consulted on the legal process for me?"

What she was holding was the legal process outlined by the lawyer Harrison had hired for her, along

with the lawyer's contact information.

Because she was the person directly involved, Harrison couldn't handle it for her.

Otherwise, Harrison would have already helped her get the lawsuit filing certificate.

He suggested, "This lawyer is one of the best under Mr. Johnson, she'll help you out. After you contact

her, you can go to the court to file the lawsuit."

"But I never thought about wanting Sebastian's property. I don't care about his stuff."

What she lacked was the companionship from childhood, Sebastian's sense of responsibility, and the

bond of blood.

She didn't care about Sebastian's material wealth.

"Roxanne." Harrison furrowed his brow, "This is what you're entitled to, why wouldn't you want it?"

Roxanne felt uncomfortable, "I know, if I sue them, I'm sure to win. But those aren't things Sebastian

willingly gave, what's the point if I win?"

"I've always been taking care of you, so I didn't suggest you sue Sebastian at the same time. You can

win just by suing him for neglecting his duty to provide support."

Roxanne remained silent.

Her hatred has always been directed at Sebastian for all these years.

Harrison persuaded, "Roxanne, when I suggest you sue Nathaniel, it's not to turn you into a heartless

person. It's to let you use the law as a weapon to protect yourself."

Roxanne thought for a moment and then understood.

"You're right. I can't be kind to people like Nathaniel, I have to be tough. Harrison, I'll take your advice

and sue Nathaniel. I'll make sure he has no chance to threaten me or bother me anymore."

For people like him, they should be made to feel afraid.

Only then will he not dare to cause trouble.

"That's right." Harrison patted her head.

"Off to work." Roxanne gave him a sweet smile.

He opened the car door, ready to get out.

Roxanne suddenly called to him, "Harrison!"

"Hmm?" Harrison had already stepped one foot out of the car, he turned his head to look at her.

She waved at him, "Come here."

Harrison obediently went over and immediately received a kiss from her.

"Harrison." Roxanne kissed his cheek and then giggled naughtily, "You're so handsome today!"

Harrison's heart started to race.

Just a kiss on the cheek, and his blood was already boiling.

Looking at her again, she looked absolutely gorgeous, utterly irresistible.

Harrison controlled himself, pinched her nose, "Little one, you're getting cheekier."

Roxanne chuckled happily.

"Haha, I'm only cheeky to you. Alright, off you go to work."

"Alright."

"Harrison, I'm still a bit worried about you running into Nathaniel, considering you guys work for the

same company. If you do see him, you can try to avoid him."

"Don't worry, he's going to have his hands full with troubles soon, he won't have time to bother me."

Harrison replied.

"But he's that kind of person, who knows what underhanded tactics he might use."

"Haven't I already given you the way to deal with him? What's there to be afraid of?"

"You're right. If Nathaniel dares to bother you, I'll make him pay. No matter what, I won't let him bully

you."

"You care about me that much?"

"Of course! You're my hubby."

Seeing her protect him like this, Harrison couldn't help but laugh.

It seemed she was deathly afraid of him being bullied by Nathaniel.

If she knew that he was Nathaniel's boss, and Nathaniel couldn't bully him at all, what would she think?

Roxanne waved firmly at Harrison, watching him get off the car before she drove off.

She headed to the office, feeling at ease.

Why should she be afraid of someone like Nathaniel?

If he was gonna play hardball with her, she could play harder.

One day when Roxanne had some free time, she contacted the lawyer Harrison had recommended to

her.

Then she made a trip to the court to file a lawsuit against Nathaniel.

The lawyer was a middle-aged woman with short hair. She was efficient and very friendly towards

Roxanne, as well as very considerate.

Of course, she had to be, she was serving the wife of the group boss.

However, Roxanne wasn't aware of her special status.

After sorting out the matters, Roxanne said, "Ms. Stella, you've been such a great help, especially

since you didn't charge me. I'm really grateful. Harrison and I would like to treat you to a meal, are you

free tonight?"

Ms. Stella was pleasantly surprised.

However, thinking about dining with the big boss of the group, she suddenly felt a bit jittery.

Having dinner with that stern and aloof big boss might be a disaster.

Never mind. Besides, she was just a nobody. Being able to help the big boss with his domestic affairs

was already an honor for her.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Martinez, I have other engagements tonight."

"Well, we'll invite you next time when you're free."

"Ms. Martinez, if there are any other issues, I'll follow up immediately, don't worry. We'll definitely win

this lawsuit."

"Thank you, Ms. Stella."

After parting with Ms. Stella, Roxanne returned to the company.

It was already two in the afternoon.

Roxanne saw Chloe sitting at her desk, tapping on her computer while eating lunch.

She reached out to touch Chloe's lunch and found it as cold as ice.

"Why are you eating lunch now?"

She hurriedly took Chloe's lunch and heated it in the microwave.

As she typed, Chloe replied, "I haven't worked for many years, I need to relearn many professional

terms. You're working so hard, I don't want to be a burden."

After her divorce from Oliver, Chloe was very serious and hardworking in her job.

Roxanne said with concern, "If you don't eat on time, I'm gonna dock a month's pay."

"Would you really?"

Roxanne brought the heated lunch back, "Eat first, then work."

At that moment, someone delivered a parcel for Roxanne.

"Who's Roxanne? There's a parcel for you."

Roxanne went up to sign for it, "Who sent this parcel, it's huge?"

Chloe asked, "Could it be samples from the factory?"

"Let's see." Roxanne squatted down and opened the parcel.

Inside was a dead black cat and a shattered mirror.

She felt a chill run down her spine, and her heart began to tremble uncontrollably.

Who would send her such things?

Chloe was also scared and broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly came over and resealed the parcel.

"This is freaky. Who would send you such things?"

Roxanne stayed silent, she didn't know either.

"Anne, you didn't buy something online and gave the seller a bad review, did you?"

"I don't have time for that."

"Then who could do this to you?" Roxanne pondered.

After a while, she had a clue.

"I think I know who it is."

"Who? Who could be so shameless?"

"Who else but that scumbag Sebastian?"

Sebastian was now paralyzed in a hospital, needing round-the-clock care for eating, drinking, and

personal hygiene.

Nathaniel was a jerk. He didn't want to take care of Sebastian, so he harassed her in various ways

every day, threatening her.

His purpose was to have her replace him in taking care of the paralyzed Sebastian.

Who else but Nathaniel would send her such things?

"Quickly throw it away." Chloe picked up the parcel box, ready to throw it away.

Roxanne stopped her, "We need to burn these ill-omened things."

She was in business, and she was pretty superstitious about some things.

It wasn't about being superstitious, but a kind of custom.

After burning the black cat and the mirror in a remote place, Roxanne felt more than ever that Harrison

was right.

She couldn't be soft-hearted towards a shameless person like Nathaniel. She had to use stronger,

more effective means.

On the other side, the hospital called Nathaniel.

"Mr. Martinez, your father has owed two days' worth of medical and hospitalization fees. Please pay as

soon as possible. Otherwise, we'll have to stop his treatment. Also, have you not hired a nurse for your

father these two days? There's no one to deliver his meals. Do you want your father to starve to

death?"

Nathaniel had been unstable these two days because of Caleb's words.

He didn't know how the big boss would handle him after setting his sights on him.

He was worried about his future all the time, how could he care about his seriously ill father in the

hospital?

"You guys are so annoying, Sebastian is not only my father. He also has a daughter, why don't you go

find her?"

Nathaniel hung up the phone.

He was already annoyed, and then he called up again, "Did you send the parcel I asked you to?"

"It's been sent."

To Nathaniel, Sebastian was useless now, he was just a burden.

He found a phone number that Roxanne hadn't blocked, and dialed it.

Roxanne had just finished burning the black cat and the mirror and was on her way home when she

received a call from a strange number.

She guessed, "It must be that jerk Nathaniel."

She picked up the phone, and sure enough, it was Nathaniel.

"Roxanne, did you receive the parcel? Surprised?"

"Nathaniel, what the hell do you want?"

"You go to the hospital to take care of our father, pay the medical bills, and I'll stop bothering you."

"Dream on!"

She was abandoned by Sebastian since she was a child, why should she take care of him now?

Roxanne had seen many jerks and villains, but none were as shameless as Nathaniel.

She was so angry that she was almost suffocating.

Over there, Nathaniel snorted, "Roxanne, this ain't over. For every day you don't go to the hospital to

look after our old man, I won't give you a moment of peace."

Chloe couldn't listen anymore and shouted angrily. "Nathaniel, are you even human? Do you have any

moral boundaries at all?"

Roxanne hung up the phone.

"Anne, why did you hang up? Let me swear at this jerk. He's even more revolting than Oliver."

"What's the point of shouting at someone like him?"

"What's wrong with the world these days? Why are the good guys always getting pushed around?"

"Chloe, don't get worked up. I've got a plan to deal with Nathaniel. Just sit back and watch."

When she got home that day, Roxanne didn't tell Harrison about the paper doll and death suit

Nathaniel had sent her.

She didn't want Harrison to worry.

Early next morning.

Roxanne and Chloe had just arrived at the office when they received a package.

Roxanne was still scared by what happened yesterday. Seeing the package, she and Chloe became

wary.

Chloe asked, "Anne, this isn't from Nathaniel again, is it?"

Roxanne checked the return address, "Judging by the address, it shouldn't be."

When she opened it...

The little snakes circled tightly inside the box, trying to climb out. The two immediately felt creepy.

Chloe's legs went weak, and while backing away, she pulled Roxanne with her.

"Anne, watch out."

Roxanne wasn't overly scared though.

She was a bit frightened when she first saw them.

But when she was a child and didn't have meat to eat, she had caught and eaten snakes. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

She knew these snakes were not venomous.

So she wasn't that scared.

She quickly grabbed the snakes by their weak points, and put them back into the box.

Then she quickly sealed the box.

She used duct tape to make sure the box was sealed tight.

Chloe, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but admire her bravery.

"Anne, you're not scared of snakes?"

"When I was a kid and didn't have anything to eat, I used to catch snakes. So I'm not that scared."

"Why didn't you tell me this when we were kids?"

"If I had, you would have snuck food out of your house for me and gotten into trouble with your

parents."

So she hadn't said anything.

Chloe suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for her.

Compared to her miserable childhood, her unhappy marriage seemed insignificant.

Looking at the sealed snake box, Roxanne frowned, "It must be that jerk Nathaniel trying to scare me

again."

Just as they were talking about Nathaniel, the jerk's number came up again.

No matter how many times she blocked him, he would find other numbers to call her.

She was about to lose her mind.

She picked up the phone, before Nathaniel could speak:

"Nathaniel, why are you so disgusting? You know what they say about karma, right? You're so nasty

and evil, aren't you afraid of getting hit by a car or something?"

Roxanne couldn't keep her cool when dealing with Nathaniel.

"Oh, can't handle it already?" Nathaniel was unfazed, still as arrogant and rude as ever, "The fun's just

getting started. Roxanne, I've told you, if you don't go to the hospital to take care of Sebastian, I'll keep

bugging you."

"Bastard!"

"You're right, I am a bastard. What are you gonna do about it? If you don't go to the hospital to take

care of Sebastian, there's worse to come. Roxanne, you just wait and see."

Roxanne was not going to let Nathaniel bully her like this.

Of course not.

She was thinking about how to hit back. "Chloe, let's ditch work today and teach that jerk a lesson."

"How do you plan to do that?" Chloe followed her.

Roxanne told Chloe her plan.

This time, she was determined to teach Nathaniel a lesson.
