The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 134

Roxanne floored it out of the garage. She had no clue how many red lights she ran or how many traffic

rules she broke.

By the time she hit her destination, she and her crew, consisting of Chloe, Amelia, and Dominic, split up

and hit the bus station, the train station, their homes, and the spot where Aria had disappeared.

They looked all night but found not even a trace of Aria.

They even called the cops.

The cops checked the surveillance video and came up empty-handed.

Turned out that there was a side street near where Aria used to take her dance classes where there

were no cameras.

That's where Aria disappeared. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

The only lead was a word on the street that Aria left with a woman who gave her a toy.

It smelled like a con job.

When Chloe got wind of this, she passed out.

Roxanne looked at Chloe, who seemed to have aged many years overnight.

No words could soothe Chloe's broken heart.

Roxanne herself was gutted.

The sweet and clever little girl had just vanished into thin air.

Roxanne tried to say something to comfort Chloe, but she couldn't get the words out.

Chloe stood up from the bench at the police station. "I need to find Aria."

She took two steps and crumpled to the floor.

Roxanne was quick to catch her. "Chloe, you've already passed out once; cool your jets. I promise,

we'll find Aria."

Chloe couldn’t take it, "Aria's so young; she must be scared without me..."

Her voice was hoarse, and her whole body was shaking.

She was terrified. If Aria was sold to a childless family, at least she'd be alive. But if those people had

bad intentions...

She couldn't even bear to think about it.

Chloe became dizzy and started shaking. She almost passed out again.

But she held on. She found a cop and fell to her knees, begging, "Please send more people. Find my

daughter, please!"

A few uniformed officers rushed to help her up, but Chloe wouldn't stand.

She cried harder as she pleaded with them. Before long, she passed out again.

The first time, she was out for about ten minutes.

This time, Chloe's face was pale and bluish. Something was seriously wrong.

Austin, in Amelia's arms, was crying nonstop.

It was a heartbreaking sight for anyone.

Roxanne's eyes welled up with tears. She, Amelia, and Dominic rushed Chloe to the hospital.

Once Chloe was hooked up to an IV, Roxanne could finally breathe.

It had been a while since Dominic had seen Roxanne. He stole glances at her a few times.

Roxanne knew, but she didn't acknowledge Dominic.

In her life, the people Roxanne hated the most were those who abandoned her, like her parents and

Dominic.

But she knew how to regulate and heal herself.

She didn't want to harbor hatred. It made life too bitter and tiring.

Life was a journey of self-improvement. She had to deal with all the struggles in life herself. Only letting

go could make her happy.

So, she decided to marry out of the blue; despite her deep pain, she accepted Harrison and started a

new life.

She didn't care about Dominic anymore. She had no love or hate for him.

Seeing him didn't stir anything inside her.

He was just like a stranger she hadn't seen in a long time; he was barely an acquaintance.

Dominic didn't want Roxanne to see through him.

He wanted the label of heartbreaker to stick to him.

In the end, Dominic suppressed all his emotions and said calmly. "Roxanne, Chloe will wake up soon;

don't worry."

"Mhm." Roxanne replied, then asked Amelia to keep an eye on Chloe.

She stepped outside the ward to call Oliver.

Oliver, being Aria's father, had to know about her disappearance.

Roxanne even hoped that Aria had managed to escape her kidnapper.

If she was unable to find her mother, she probably went to her father's.

So, the first thing she asked when the call connected was, "Oliver, did Aria come to you?"

Oliver responded, somewhat agitated, "Roxanne, are you joking? When Chloe and I divorced, both

kids went to her. Why are you asking me for her?"

"I asked if Aria came to you."

"No."

"Aria's missing."

Oliver didn't respond or react.

Roxanne told Oliver about how Amelia lost Aria and asked him to help look for her.

Oliver casually responded, "What's the point in looking? Maybe Aria went to a friend's house to play.

She'll come back when she's done."

Something didn't add up. Roxanne felt it in her gut.

Oliver was Aria's biological father. His daughter was missing, and he was this nonchalant?

After thinking about how Oliver had pressured Chloe for money a few days ago, a light bulb went off in

Roxanne's head.

"Oliver, did you hide Aria?"

"Roxanne, are you crazy? Why would I hide my own daughter?"

"Are you trying to use Aria to threaten Chloe into giving you money?"

"You're nuts."

Click! The call ended.

Roxanne was now even more certain that something was off.

Aria was seven; she wouldn't have been so easily taken by a stranger.

Maybe she was taken by someone she knew.

She rushed off to find Oliver and found him with his sisters, Ava and Sophia, seemingly discussing

something.

Aria wasn't in the house.

Roxanne didn’t waver, "Oliver, hand over Aria. I know you're hiding her."

Roxanne stormed in, and Oliver dropped the pretense.

Oliver spoke with no hint of shame in his voice, "Yeah, I had my mom take Aria away, so what? My

mom wants to see her granddaughter; is that wrong?"

Roxanne was seething with anger. "That old hag of yours is nothing but mean to Aria. How could she

possibly miss her? Hand her over now."

Oliver frowned.

He knew Roxanne was a tough cookie; he was no match for her.

So, when Roxanne started badmouthing his mother, Charlotte, Oliver didn't talk back.

He had one goal in mind. The minute Chloe paid back the money she conned from his mom, he'd

return Aria. After all, his mom taking her granddaughter wasn't illegal, and the cops wouldn't bother with

it.

Sophia shot Roxanne a look, "Tell Chloe that my little brother, Oliver, is waiting to use this money to

marry a new wife. My future sister-in-law is young and beautiful; she’s way better than Chloe.”

Roxanne was having none of it. She wanted to fight, but it would be three against one. She would be at

a disadvantage, but she was still furious.

Roxanne angrily retorted, "Sophia, your brother is getting a new wife and wants his ex to pay for it? If

your husband left you for a new wife, would you also pay for him?"

Sophia retorted, "Who are you cursing?"

"I'm cursing you! I want you to divorce your husband soon and have to pay for his new wife."

"Are you asking for a fight?" Sophia glared menacingly.

Bring it on.

Roxanne wasn't new to brawls.

She stepped forward and kicked Sophia in the stomach.

Ava and Oliver immediately stepped in.

Roxanne grabbed a vase with her left hand and smashed it into someone's face.

Her right foot kicked another person down.

All three of them got hit. They looked at each other, wanting to charge at her again, but they were a bit

scared.

Roxanne was indeed a tough nut to crack.

They were all a bit intimidated. But they were siblings, so they mustered their courage and charged at

Roxanne again.

Sophia, who got kicked, was the first to strike. She grabbed Roxanne's hair.

Roxanne felt like her scalp was being torn off, and her neck was pressed so hard she couldn't lift it.

But she wasn't one to be bullied.

She grabbed Sophia's elbow, gave it a strong pull, and tossed her over her shoulder.

Sophia was thrown off balance and couldn't get up for a while.

Roxanne fought like a wild animal. She had no formal training. This over-the-shoulder throw was self-

taught.

On this side, she was in a heated fight with three people.

On the other side, Charlotte was in a van with Aria.

They had been driving for a whole night since left Seraphim Haven.

Aria glared at Charlotte, "You lied to me; Dad didn't have a car accident. You wicked woman, where are

you taking me?"

"Don't you know to call me Grandma? Who are you calling a wicked woman? Are you asking for a

beating?"

With that, Charlotte started hitting Aria. She pinched Aria and slapped her.

In the end, she slapped Aria three times. Aria's face turned red instantly.

But her mom taught her that she shouldn’t let people walk all over her. So she bit down hard on

Charlotte's arm.

"Ah, ah, ah...you little brat! Let go, let go."
