Chapter 232
Watching the slightly overweight older man walk away, Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief.
They finally sorted this mess out! Chloe was practically jumping for joy.
She hugged Roxanne, "Roxanne, you were amazing. Can we really get our goods back and avoid the
fine?"
"If that video gets out, Mr. Dino’s reputation will be in hot water. He won't risk his career,” Roxanne said
with a determined look.
Chloe planted a kiss on her cheek, “Roxanne, you're a genius."
"Don't count your chickens before they hatch. We need to watch out for this old man, he might stab us
in the back.”
"We have the video. What can he do to us?”
"It's always better to be safe than sorry.”
“Roxanne, I was so worried. I couldn’t eat a thing. I’m starving. Let’s grab a bite before we head off.
The food smells so good. Let's not let it go to waste.”
Then Chloe sat down and picked up her cutlery.
But Roxanne remained standing, "Let's take the food to go, I want to leave.”
"But you haven't eaten yet.”
"I'm a bit tired.”
Having dealt with the annoying old man, Roxanne was finally relieved, and she felt exhausted now.
Thinking back to the cold and determined look on Harrison's face when she ran into him earlier, she felt
even more tired.
She picked up her bag and pushed back her chair, "I'm heading out, you can handle the food.”
"Roxanne, what's wrong?” Chloe didn’t feel like packing up, she followed Roxanne out of the room.
Just then, they bumped into Harrison and Alexander coming out of another room.
Neither of them knew the guy with glasses.
But they couldn't be more familiar with Harrison and Alexander.
Roxanne didn't even make eye contact with Harrison as she walked past him.
Chloe tugged on her arm, "Roxanne, shouldn't we say hi?”
"There's no need for pleasantries.”
He said he didn't know her, so even if she greeted him, he wouldn't respond. Why should she
embarrass herself?
Roxanne had walked some distance away when Alexander finally glared at Harrison, "If you keep this
up, when Roxanne finally gives up, you won't stand a chance."
Harrison's face was expressionless, "Where did you get the idea that I want to win her back?”
Alexander briskly walked away, "I don't want to talk to you. Sooner or later, the chairman will find out
about this. I would like to see how you explain it to him.”
This had been kept a secret for over a month now. It was about time Vincent found out.
That afternoon, Harrison returned to Rodriguez Oasis Estates.
Vincent was at the barn feeding his calf a bottle of whiskey.
“Little one, drink up and grow strong,” he said.
He intended to slaughter the calf when it grew up and serve it to his daughter-in-law.
Standing outside the barn, Harrison couldn't help but frown.
"As chairman of the Rodriguez Group, you spend your days feeding cattle. Does this mean you've
fallen in love with the farmer's life?”
Hearing the voice, Vincent turned around and saw his son standing there alone.
Concerned, he asked, "Why did you come back alone, where's Anne, why didn't you bring Roxanne
back with you? I made it clear that if you were to come back, you should bring Roxanne. If you were to
come back alone, then don't bother.”
Vincent continued to stroke the calf's back as he fed it whiskey.
"Roxanne and I are divorced. I thought I should tell you,” Harrison said bluntly.
Vincent's hand, which was stroking the calf's back, stiffened.
The bowl of whiskey in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, the whiskey soaking into the dirt.
Vincent got up, furious, "What did you say? Dare to repeat that?”
"Roxanne and I come from different worlds and different classes.” Harrison didn't want to deceive
Vincent any longer.
Vincent wanted to grab a stick and beat his son to death.
Roxanne was such a wonderful daughter-in-law, and he lost her.
But when he tried to get up, he felt a pain in his chest and a rush of blood to his head, making him feel
unsteady.
He clutched his chest, "You're joking, right?”
How could they suddenly divorce?
"I'm not joking. You have a right to know.”
"Do you want me to die from anger?”
"If you want to find a wife for me, I can accept the blind dates you set up for me. Whoever it is, I can
accept, but don't find someone who is not of my class.”
After saying this, he emphasized, "Especially not someone like Roxanne.”
As the tycoon of Seraphim Haven, how could he give up his status for a woman from the bottom of
society?
For a woman, he had been walking on the edge of danger, almost lost.
Becoming the businessman who only considered profits and losses, without emotional entanglements,
was the path he should take.
“What? Besides Roxanne, no other woman, no matter how noble, is allowed in our house.”
“Then I can only say sorry. It's not that I don't want to get married, it's you who won't let me.”
"You go coax Roxanne back."
"I didn't initiate the divorce.”
"What's the reason for the divorce, why did Roxanne ask for a divorce? How did you upset her to the
point that she asked for a divorce? She asked for a divorce and you just divorced? Don't you know that
most of the time, women are just venting their emotions and don't really want a divorce, how can you
know so little about women? When your mother was young, I often upset her and she often mentioned
divorce. If I really divorced like you, would there be you?”
Vincent didn't know what was wrong with his son, why couldn't he inherit his high EQ?
“I've told you about this.” Harrison wanted to leave, "I'm going back.”
“You want me to die from anger.”
"Dad, it's you who taught me to take family honor as my mission. I'm fully committed to my work now,
you should be pleased."
"Bullshit!" Vincent grabbed an empty whiskey bottle from the side and fiercely hurled it towards
Harrison.
It hit Harrison's shoulder, causing him a bit of pain.
But he just tilted his head, glanced at the bottle rolling towards the bushes, and walked away.
Behind him was Vincent's angry threat, "Harrison, if you don't win Roxanne back, I'll disown you. Don't
bother coming to see me. I'm serious, if Roxanne doesn't come back, I'll die just to spite you."
Harrison didn't respond, just kept walking.
This wasn't a new threat. He'd heard it countless times before.
He didn't believe that Vincent would actually kill himself.
Getting into the car driven by Anthony, he leaned against the seat, closed his eyes, and rubbed his
temples. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
He tried to doze off on the seat, but he just couldn't sleep.
From the back of his phone case, he pulled out a picture.
Roxanne's face was void of any smiles. She looked very calm.
Harrison's fingers gently brushed over Roxanne's face in the picture, finding no warmth.
As Anthony drove, Harrison directed him, "Head to East Adjacent Estates."
"Mr. Harrison, are you going to see Mrs. Rodriguez?" Anthony seemed somewhat excited. Was Mr.
Harrison going to heed the chairman's words and coax Mrs. Rodriguez back?
"No need." Harrison put the picture away.
