Chapter 51
Harrison's trust touched Roxanne deeply. She gently moved Harrison's hand away and asked,
"Harrison, would you mind?"
"If I had been there, I wouldn’t just have stabbed his leg with scissors. I'd have chopped off his dick,"
Harrison responded without hesitation.
Roxanne burst into laughter, "Harrison, do you think we would have been childhood sweethearts if we
had grown up together?"
Harrison countered, "Did you have a runny nose a lot when you were a kid?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I don't like little girls who are always sniffling. If you had a runny nose all the time as a kid, I might have
found you a bit repulsive."
"You're the one who always had a runny nose. Even though I grew up in the countryside, I was very
clean as a child."
They continued walking.
Roxanne then said, "Harrison, it's strange. After my live stream, that single man at the village entrance
was arrested, and his previous crimes were exposed. It all happened so quickly."
It was impossible for the authorities to investigate and get results that quickly. Only two days had
passed, and the man was already in jail.
Harrison suggested, "Maybe a powerful person behind the scenes is helping you."
Roxanne immediately rebutted, "I’m not that lucky to know any powerful people. The richest person I
know is Oliver's brother-in-law, a local tycoon worth billions. But he doesn't give a damn about us."
Harrison noted, "What if you're just lucky and did meet someone powerful?"
Roxanne asked, "Who would that powerful person be, secretly supporting me from behind?"
Harrison said nothing. He was the one secretly supporting her.
Remembering her question a few days ago about whether he could promise not to divorce and his
promise to treat her sincerely and live a good life together, Harrison furrowed his brows. Since he
promised sincerity, he should discuss his identity with her at some point.
But now was not the time. It was a matter that demanded a serious approach.
The issue with Sebastian seemed to have passed. But it hadn't.
Roxanne exposed Sebastian's crimes online and the fact that Sebastian's son Nathaniel, who earned
half a million a year, didn't support his elderly father. Both father and son's lives were greatly affected.
Roxanne had experienced cyberbullying, and now Sebastian and Nathaniel were going through it. One
day, Nathaniel pulled up outside Roxanne's company in a high-end Porsche worth close to a million.
The moment Roxanne stepped out, Nathaniel spotted her. She was with Chloe, chatting and laughing
with their arms linked.
Chloe suggested, "Anne, Oliver aren't home today. Amelia cooked something delicious. Come eat at
my house."
Roxanne declined, "I can't. I have to go home for dinner. My father-in-law also cooked something
delicious, and Harrison will be home for dinner too. I need to go back and join them."
Chloe noted, "Your life after marriage is really different from mine. Although I carefully chose my in-
laws, they all turned out to be hard to get along with. Conversely, you ended up with a father-in-law
who adores you just by chance."
Roxanne smiled, "Indeed, my father-in-law treats me better than his own daughter."
Chloe confessed, "I'm really envious of you."
At this moment, Nathaniel, who had been leaning against his Porsche, stood up and blocked their path.
Roxanne looked at the tall young man in front of her. He looked just like Sebastian, except Nathaniel
wore glasses, and Sebastian didn't.
"Are you Nathaniel?" Roxanne asked.
Nathaniel had no idea he had a half-sister three years older than him. If it weren't for Sebastian's
suicide attempt and Roxanne's live stream retaliation, he would probably never have known he had
such a poor sister from the countryside. But Nathaniel had no intention of recognizing Roxanne as his
sister. Seeing her in a slum like this, he looked down on her. He arrogantly stated, "Roxanne, we need
to talk about our father."
Still holding Roxanne's hand, Chloe said, "Anne, is this your half-brother?"
Nathaniel gave Roxanne a disdainful look. He was certain her outfit and her shoes were definitely
cheap knockoffs.
He said with a disgusted expression, "Who's her brother? I'm a senior executive in a big company with
an annual salary of half a million. How could I have a poor relative from the countryside?"
Roxanne understood. If he didn't acknowledge her, then she would do the same. She didn't want to
recognize such an ill-mannered relative either.
Arm in arm with Chloe, she walked off without glancing at Nathaniel. Despite her cheap clothes and
appearance of poverty, she carried a queen-like aloofness in front of Nathaniel.
Nathaniel quickly caught up and blocked their path again, "Roxanne, didn't you hear me calling you? I
want to discuss the matter of supporting our father."
"Which father?" Roxanne asked coldly.
Nathaniel clarified, "Of course, our common father, Sebastian. Do you have a second father?"
Roxanne scoffed, "Didn't you just say you don't have a poor relative from the countryside like me? And
now we have a common father? You must be mistaken."
Nathaniel pointed at Roxanne's nose, "Roxanne, him abandoning you was his mistake, but you are his
daughter. You also have the duty to support him. That's your responsibility, and you can't run away from
it."
Roxanne snorted, "Nathaniel, I can't wait to hear what other ridiculous things you have to say." This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Nathaniel went on, "Roxanne, I'm not trying to take advantage of you. I'll give you 1000 dollars a month
for expenses. You just need to take care of Sebastian. No money out of your pocket."
Roxanne scoffed, "Just 1000 dollars?"
"Nathaniel, here's my counteroffer. I don't need your money. I'll give you 1500 a month, and you help
take care of Sebastian. The extra five hundred, consider it a reward."
"Do you think I need this 1500?"
"Roxanne, don't push it. You're Sebastian's daughter, too. It's your responsibility to take care of him."
"Speaking of responsibility, something just came to mind. You have ten properties in Seraphim Haven,
two of which Sebastian bought for you in his younger days. Since they were bought by Sebastian, as
his daughter, I should have the right to inherit his property. You should give me one, shouldn't you?"
Nathaniel suddenly became unusually agitated.
"Roxanne, aren't you going a bit too far? Traditionally, the property is inherited by sons. You're just a
daughter. What right do you have to my father's house? You're only his daughter."
"Me, too far? What about you? When it was our turn to take care of Sebastian, you knew perfectly well
that both sons and daughters have a share. Daughters should also be filial to their fathers. Sebastian is
my father too. But now when it comes to inheriting property, daughters suddenly don't qualify. You're
not just overstepping, and you're a hypocrite."
