The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 50

Alexander said, "Don't hide behind responsibility and education, dude. What's so hard about admitting

it?"

Harrison retorted, "I don't want to argue with you."

Alexander said, "Alright, alright, we won't argue."

At this moment.

Roxanne rushed back to the office.

In the morning, her colleagues mistakenly thought she was person of poor character, even calling her a

bitch.

Now, all misunderstandings were cleared. They all apologized to her.

On the one hand, she was indeed misunderstood. On the other hand, as a partner in the company and

after clarifying the facts through a live broadcast, the company's orders skyrocketed, significantly

improving the performance and saving the company from closure. The future looked brighter, and they

would continue to work under her leadership. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Roxanne could clearly see who was sincerely apologizing and who was just trying to save their own

skin. But she chose to let it slide.

Now that the orders had skyrocketed, they needed more hands on deck. She wouldn't fire them just

because they insulted her. But if necessary, she wouldn't hesitate to do so.

The same went for Oliver Lewis, who came over smiling and said, "Roxanne, you're amazing. Your live

broadcast brought so much benefit to the company. We can't do without you."

Oliver knew well that Roxanne had suddenly become a sensation. She was of great value now. Of

course, he needed to suck up to her.

Roxanne didn't buy it. She returned to her desk and checked the online store orders, and indeed, there

were a lot, unimaginably so.

The company had finally turned around, and the business was better than ever. Roxanne made an

internal call to summon a few key staff and said straight up, "Calculate how many orders and how

much profit my live broadcast brought in. For this month's revenue, don't give Oliver a dime. After I take

my share, the rest will be distributed as employee benefits."

Oliver's face changed instantly, "Roxanne, what do you mean by this? I'm a major shareholder of the

company, and you're not giving me a penny?"

Roxanne played a recording without hesitation.

"You've received a lot of criticism online, and it's affecting the company's online business. Do you really

think you can double our sales? Do you know that everyone online wants something bad to happen to

you?"

"Don't bother me about online criticism. Just tell me, what if I manage to double the company's sales in

a few days? What would you do then?"

"I'll eat my own excrement."

"Don't speak nonsense. Be practical. Tell me, if I really manage to double the company's sales in a few

days, what would you do?"

"If you truly manage to double the company's sales, all the extra profits will be yours. But if you can't,

take your initial investment and get out of my company."

Oliver was at a loss for words. Roxanne had already anticipated the public opinion. Sebastian's slander

made her the target of criticism, but as long as she clarified the situation, she was sure to benefit. So,

when Oliver wanted her to leave the company, she recorded the conversation.

"Oliver, all the employees are listening. You wouldn't want to back out now, would you?"

"I was just talking casually. How could you take it seriously?"

"If everyone spoke casually like you, how would the company operate, and how would employees be

managed? We must follow the rules, or who will trust you in the future?"

The employees chimed in, "Exactly, Mr. Lewis. You said it yourself. If Roxanne can double the

company's sales, all the extra profit goes to her. You can't go back on your word."

Roxanne said, "I won't enjoy the profit alone. I'll distribute Oliver's share to everyone."

She knew very well that the employees were siding with her now because she could bring profit to the

company, not out of loyalty to her.

Since the fallout with Oliver, more challenges awaited her.

Other than Chloe, the rest of the employees needed to be attracted to benefits for now. That's the

reality. Fortunately, she was confident she could win against Oliver.

Oliver was defeated, seething with anger and wanting to retaliate, but he couldn't do anything to her.

"Roxanne, you've got guts."

Watching Oliver storm off in anger, Roxanne felt a sense of satisfaction.

After dispersing the employees, Chloe gave Roxanne a big thumbs up. "Anne, you're amazing. You not

only exposed Sebastian for who he truly is, protected your own reputation, but also made Oliver bow

down."

"He didn't bow down. Didn't you see how he was seething? There will be more battles ahead."

"Same here. To divorce Oliver and get my house back, I have to fight the whole Lewis family."

"Don't worry, you've got me. We'll slowly figure out how to handle the divorce and the house issue."

"Anne, you're right. Women should work hard to earn money and develop their careers to establish

their own status. I've been feeling more confident these past few days. Especially after getting back the

500,000 from Charlotte, I feel more empowered."

"As long as you continue to work hard and develop your career, you'll feel more and more empowered."

The Sebastian storm had temporarily passed.

After a couple of days, Chloe and Roxanne went to the cafeteria together. Chloe suddenly brought up,

"Anne, my mom called me yesterday and told me that the single man who once bullied you was

arrested."

"Really?" Even now, mentioning that single man made Roxanne grind her teeth. Such a person

deserved to be punished.

"Do you know? In the past twenty-plus years, this man has violated twelve people. All of them were left

in rural areas by their parents, just like you. It's really horrifying. Luckily, you stabbed him in the thigh

with scissors, or else you might have ruined your life."

"He's a total scumbag!" Roxanne ground her teeth. She should have done more than just stab him in

the thigh, and she should have castrated him. That way, he wouldn't have been able to hurt more

people.

After work that day, Roxanne asked Harrison to meet her at the park where they usually set up their

stall. Today, they didn't set up the stall. She just wanted to have a chat with Harrison.

Harrison wondered, was Roxanne inviting him to the park for a date? He hadn't expected their first date

to be somewhere other than a fancy restaurant, a classy concert hall, or the upscale golf course where

the high and mighty usually hang out. Instead, they were in this mosquito-infested park. But it didn't

seem so bad with Roxanne by his side, even with the buzz-buzzing mosquitoes.

Nighttime. They were walking side by side, their shadows blending into one under the moonlight. It did

feel like a date.

Harrison asked, "Roxanne, did you ask me out for something specific?"

Roxanne stopped, "Harrison, did you catch on my live stream a couple of days ago when I mentioned

that bachelor from my village who almost violated me when I was seven?"

Harrison responded gently, "Yeah, I heard it but didn't want to pick at your wounds, so I didn't ask you

about it."

Roxanne wanted to set the record straight, "Harrison, I want to tell you, although that bachelor did

mean to harm me, I wasn't violated. Since we're married now, I should be honest with you. I wasn't

really..."

"I believe you!" Harrison interrupted, covering Roxanne's mouth gently with his hand, "You're so smart

and brave. You're not afraid of anything. I believe you weren't violated."

He could see her worry. She must be scared.

Scared that he might misunderstand her.

So, Harrison silenced Roxanne, stopping her from explaining further. The more she explained, the

more her past pain became apparent.

At that moment, his fingers gently covered her lips. Those lips were so soft. He really wanted to kiss

them...
