Chapter 225
Roxanne started to slow down munching on her spicy garlic chicken, but she was still savoring the
taste.
"I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
Roxanne had caught the eye of Harrison, and out of jealousy, the short-haired woman shot her an icy
glare.
"Ms. Martinez, I'm talking to you, did you even listen to me? Look at you, all you know is to eat, are you
a pig? Only knowing how to stuff your face, can't you hear me talking to you, don't you have any
manners?"
"You're calling me a pig!" Roxanne wiped her hands and stood up, "Who's the one with no manners?"
She was certain that this woman was interested in Harrison.
At that day’s banquet, besides family relatives, there were also some of Vincent's friends.
The short-haired woman must be the daughter of one of Vincent's friends, otherwise, she wouldn't have
been invited to that banquet.
"Do I even need to be polite to someone like you?" The short-haired woman was extremely arrogant.
She was haughty as if she wanted to step on Roxanne.
"You're uneducated, ignorant, incapable, without any background, just a parasite in society. You're only
fit to marry those blue-collar workers. Harrison must be blind to have picked you."
The short-haired woman had been chasing after Harrison since high school, for over a decade, that’s
why she was so pissed at her.
And yet, Harrison silently married someone she considered the lowest of the low.
What did Roxanne have that she didn’t?
The relentless mockery was starting to get under Roxanne's skin.
What was wrong with being low class? Weren’t they human too?
Roxanne didn't care who she was, whether she was Vincent's important guest or not, she slapped her
right across the face.
"You like my husband, want to steal him away, then just say it. What's the point of insulting people with
sharp and spiteful comments? If you're capable, then steal my husband away, make him your
husband."
She kept saying Roxanne had no upbringing, that she was low class.
To her, it was the short-haired woman who lacked manners.
"In the end, my husband chose me. Are you, the high and mighty person less than you so-called low-
class person?"
Before the short-haired woman could react, she received another slap to the face.
"Didn't you brush your teeth this morning? Your breath stinks; it smells worse than a toilet."
She was at a loss for words.
"Do you need me to give you toothpaste, to go home and brush your dirty mouth that stinks worse than
a public toilet?"
In the midst of disputes and quarrels, Roxanne never lost.
"Also, you want to steal my husband, that's impossible. I'm with the man you like every day, and we'll
always be together. I'll have his daughters, sons, have lots of children with him. Are you mad? I'm going
to piss you off. I'll piss you off so much that you won't have a chance to get my husband in your next
life, he'll be mine in the next life too. No matter how excellent you are, you won't have a chance to get
my husband. You can go spit blood now, serves you right."
The short-haired woman was thoroughly infuriated, she raised her hand preparing to strike back at her.
Then, a pair of delicate hands tightly grabbed the short-haired woman's arm, it was Nora Dawson.
"Layla, Vincent invited you to this banquet because they respect your father. They told you to respect
others when you arrive here, especially Roxanne. Is this how you respect people?"
"You're a rich man's daughter, but your heart is so dirty."
"Harrison's already married, why don't you wish them well instead of mocking others here? Who do you
think you are?"
Layla retorted, "Nora, don't put on an act here! Who doesn't know you've been secretly in love with
Harrison for years? Are you trying to pretend to be nice, then take the chance to steal him away?"
Nora angrily countered, "Do you think everyone's as scheming as you?"
Layla shot back, "Who's scheming, we'll see. At least I admit that I want to steal Roxanne's man. Unlike
some people, who clearly want to steal someone else's man, but pretend to be good friends with them,
such schemers."
Wrongly accused, Nora was filled with anger, but she still kept her composure and said, "You can say
whatever you want, I won't let you mock people at will. Whether or not the one you're mocking is
Roxanne, I will interfere."
"I can't be bothered to talk to you," Layla angrily shook off Nora's hand and left.
"Thanks for just now," Roxanne gratefully looked at Nora.
Nora managed to show a little smile and wanted to explain the situation to her, saying, "Roxanne, I'm
not like what Layla said, pretending to be nice to win over Harrison. Never mind, I won't explain."
If Roxanne thought the same, her explanation would be useless.
Nora quickly added, "Roxanne, if you think my friendliness is fake, then I won't appear in front of you
again. Anyway, you and Harrison are married, and you truly love each other, I really wish you well, I
won't try to steal your man."
Roxanne patted Nora on the shoulder and assured her, "You don't need to be so nervous, no one can
steal him away. And what Layla said, I won't take it to heart. I know your character, we're still good
friends."
Harrison saw everything that happened, he walked over to Roxanne and Nora.
He reached out, encircling Roxanne's waist and pulled her in.
He looked at Nora calmly and said with a smile, "You've had my wife for over half an hour now, can you
give her back to me?"
Nora smiled gently and teasingly said, "It's not been half an hour."
She looked at her wristwatch and corrected him, "It's only been twenty-seven minutes, okay."
Harrison held Roxanne tighter, he felt that Roxanne's waist was very stiff.
It seemed as if she didn't like him holding her like that, even so, he held her even closer.
He turned his head and leaned slightly toward Roxanne.
His nose lightly brushed against her cheek, "Roxanne, can you hang with me alone for a bit now, eh?"
Nora quickly covered her eyes as she was shy, "You two lovebirds go ahead and chat, I'm off to grab
some grub." NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Maybe she truly let go, seeing the couple so intimate, Nora didn't feel a smidge of jealousy.
Though a little heartbroken, she sincerely wished the young couple a long and sweet happiness.
She wisely turned away, just running into Evelyn who came back with some food. She quickly pulled
Evelyn away, "Don't disturb Harrison and Roxanne, they're enjoying their time."
As the two moved away, Harrison's breath still lingered on Roxanne's cheek.
His high nose brushed against her cheek, "If you're so against another woman snatching your man,
why did you divorce me?"
