Chapter 229
A minute after the divorce, he removed and blocked her from his contacts! He was more determined to
cut ties with her than she was.
The heavy rain was still pouring, and the wind was howling. Raindrops were flying around in the wind,
hitting Roxanne's face. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Ouch! She wanted to get a cab back to the office.
With the weather so bad, she had been waiting for nearly half an hour with no driver accepting her
request.
The wind kept messing up her hair, time and time again.
And the flying raindrops kept hitting her face, even when she retreated deeper into the steps, she
couldn't escape from the rain drops.
In the span of just two months, she had found out that Harrison was a high-flying tycoon; she said she
would try to adjust to his status, but before she could do that, she had a miscarriage and was also
divorced.
She was working so hard to secure her career, trying to stand tall in front of him, wasn't it just to
sincerely love him?
Didn't he understand her humbleness at all?
Well, at that point she was single again, all alone in the world and no one to love her.
She squatted under the eaves of the steps, hugged her legs, buried her head between her knees and
sobbed.
It turned out that she wasn't as strong or decisive as she thought she was.
She cried until she was nearly fainting, gasping for breath.
The rain was still falling, and suddenly the wind in front of her was blocked by something.
Someone suddenly hugged her, she looked up, it was Chloe squatting in front of her with an umbrella.
Roxanne quickly wiped her tears and asked, "Chloe, how come you're here?"
Chloe was heartbroken, she had thought that her good friend had found a dependable man.
Back in Novaria, Harrison had asked her to mediate when he quarreled with Roxanne, to talk him up in
front of Roxanne.
And everything had changed all of a sudden? How long had it been since he said that, and he was
already divorced from Roxanne?
Chloe and Roxanne were from the same class, she understood Roxanne's pride and humility.
Having gone through a marriage with Oliver, she understood more than others why Roxanne insisted
on holding onto her career instead of being a full-time wife.
If a woman didn’t make her own money, what would she eat, drink or live on when a man got tired of
her?
Only when women earned their own money could they have confidence.
"Anne, don't cry; you still have me."
"Am I stupid to refuse to be the wife of a rich man and insist on divorce?"
Roxanne stopped crying, her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was hoarse.
"Is being a rich man's wife that easy? You and Harrison were worlds apart. I think he liked you only
because he was tired of seeing daughters of the rich and powerful, and found you to be refreshing."
Roxanne sniffled.
Chloe continued to say, "He said he'd support you for life, but when he's fed up, annoyed, and you
have no job, you'll be completely out of touch with society, lose your sense of self, with no way out."
"I clearly understand, this kind of CEO's love for an ordinary girl for a lifetime only exists in novels.
Even if I didn't divorce Harrison, we would still have various problems. Divorce might be a kind of
relief."
At that time, she hadn't completely fallen for him.
If she really became dependent on him and then encountered that kind of fight and divorce, it would be
more painful for her.
"Let's talk about serious matters," Chloe helped Roxanne up from the ground.
"Chloe, hold me, my foot is numb," Roxanne quickly grabbed Chloe's hand, leaning her body weight on
her.
Maybe because she cried too hard, she became so weak.
Her chest hurt, her stomach hurt, her whole body hurt.
Chloe waited for her to recover a bit, then asked, "Tell me, how much property did Harrison give you
when you divorced?"
"I didn't ask for anything," Roxanne shook her head.
"What?" Chloe was a bit shocked, "Although we can't rely on others' money, you were together for quite
some time."
"It wasn't that long, we only lived together for two months, and it was voluntary. How could I use that to
divide his property? We agreed when we got married that if we divorced, I wouldn't want his property."
"Did you refuse, or did he not give?"
"What's the difference?"
"The difference is huge. If he offered and you refused, it means Harrison is still a man of honor. But if
he didn't offer, then he's too stingy. He's so rich, is this how he treats women he's been involved with?
Capitalists are capitalists, the richer they are, the stingier."
Roxanne didn't say anything; her foot was not so numb anymore.
She straightened up, in the rain blowing from under the eaves, she gave a bitter smile.
Chloe made sense.
When they got married, Harrison didn't want her to divide his property, so he agreed to her prenuptial
agreement.
And when they were divorced, he decisively brought up that agreement, saying he wouldn't give her
any money.
But she was never with him because of his money.
Roxanne defended Harrison, "He offered, it was me who insisted not to."
"You're really bad at lying," Chloe saw through her right away.
Roxanne kept defending Harrison, "He really did offer, it was me who refused."
"Do you think I'll believe that?"
Chloe showed her the WhatsApp chat on her phone, "Look, half an hour ago, Harrison blocked me too.
I tried to message him, asking him to calm down and not divorce you, but the message couldn't be
sent. He's made up his mind, no one can stop him."
Half an hour ago, wasn't that when Harrison blocked her?
So, was Harrison trying to completely cut off all contact with her, even not contacting her friends
anymore?
He was so determined! He said she was heartless? Who was more heartless?
Chloe was a bit angry with his behavior, "Capitalists really have no regard for relationships, I almost
thought he was a good guy."
Roxanne was actually in a lot of pain, but she kept defending Harrison, "I can't blame him, I was the
one who proposed the divorce, he gave me chances, but I didn't seize them."
"Why are you always making excuses for him? He divorced you so cold-heartedly, not caring about
your feelings at all. He's just a chauvinist! Does he think just because he's the richest man in Seraphim
Haven, you've got to bend over backwards for him on everything to be his wife?" Chloe was livid.
Roxanne, on the other hand, saw things more clearly, "A man with money, power, status, and good
looks, we ordinary people might never even get the chance to see him face to face, yet I became his
wife. Other women would definitely cherish him cautiously, try to please him, butter him up. But what
about me? I was so clueless, insisting on a divorce, he must be pissed off to the max."
"Roxanne." Chloe didn't know what to say to her.
Roxanne gave a wry smile, "You can't expect me to live my life hating Harrison. Besides, I've got no
right to hate him anyway. We just weren't a good match."
