The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 117

Based on what Harrison said, Roxanne recalled the leader with a bit of a belly she met yesterday.

She seemed to recall Nathaniel calling him Mr. Caleb.

She reconfirmed with Harrison, "Harrison, is the boss of Investor Complex a guy named Mr. Caleb? I heard him saying yesterday that Nathaniel has gotten the attention of the big shot of the company, and he might be in trouble."

"Yep." Harrison replied, "Mr. Caleb is the boss of Investor Complex, and he happens to be your half-brother's superior."

"I don't acknowledge him as my brother."

For a good ten or twenty years, he never sought her out to acknowledge kinship.

Now that Sebastian was bedridden and needed someone to take care of him, he finally remembered to ask her for help.

For such a relative, she wanted him to stay away from her. Seeing her anger, Harrison quickly patted her head in an attempt to comfort her.

But he rationally reminded her, "You're just saying this out of anger, but he's still technically your half-brother."

"I don't need a brother like that."

"Roxanne." Harrison said rationally, "To deal with people like him, you should use the most rational and effective way, so he's scared of you, then he'll behave."

"What's the most rational and effective way?"

Harrison handed Roxanne an envelope.

"Take a look."

"What?"

After she took it, Roxanne opened it and finally understood what Harrison meant by the most rational and effective way.

"Harrison, are you suggesting I fight Nathaniel for the property?"

Harrison nodded.

"I remember you telling me last time that Nathaniel owns ten properties at Seraphim Haven. Two of which were bought for him by Sebastian."

"You did tell me. You said your friend helped you look it up."

Only now did Roxanne think to ask him, "Harrison, how did your friend find out all these details about Nathaniel?"

"You forgot I used to be a businessman. Even though I'm bankrupt now, I still know quite a few people."

"Oh."

That's right.

He could afford luxury houses before he went bankrupt.

"Nathaniel has been threatening you, you should fight back and beat him."

"So, you consulted on the legal process for me?"

What she was holding was the legal process outlined by the lawyer Harrison had hired for her, along with the lawyer's contact information.

Because she was the person directly involved, Harrison couldn't handle it for her.

Otherwise, Harrison would have already helped her get the lawsuit filing certificate.

He suggested, "This lawyer is one of the best under Mr. Johnson, she'll help you out. After you contact her, you can go to the court to file the lawsuit."

"But I never thought about wanting Sebastian's property. I don't care about his stuff."

What she lacked was the companionship from childhood, Sebastian's sense of responsibility, and the bond of blood.

She didn't care about Sebastian's material wealth.

"Roxanne." Harrison furrowed his brow, "This is what you're entitled to, why wouldn't you want it?"

Roxanne felt uncomfortable, "I know, if I sue them, I'm sure to win. But those aren't things Sebastian willingly gave, what's the point if I win?"

"I've always been taking care of you, so I didn't suggest you sue Sebastian at the same time. You can win just by suing him for neglecting his duty to provide support."

Roxanne remained silent.

Her hatred has always been directed at Sebastian for all these years.

Harrison persuaded, "Roxanne, when I suggest you sue Nathaniel, it's not to turn you into a heartless person. It's to let you use the law as a weapon to protect yourself."

Roxanne thought for a moment and then understood.

"You're right. I can't be kind to people like Nathaniel, I have to be tough. Harrison, I'll take your advice and sue Nathaniel. I'll make sure he has no chance to threaten me or bother me anymore."

For people like him, they should be made to feel afraid.

Only then will he not dare to cause trouble.

"That's right." Harrison patted her head.

"Off to work." Roxanne gave him a sweet smile.

He opened the car door, ready to get out.

Roxanne suddenly called to him, "Harrison!"

"Hmm?" Harrison had already stepped one foot out of the car, he turned his head to look at her.

She waved at him, "Come here."

Harrison obediently went over and immediately received a kiss from her.

"Harrison." Roxanne kissed his cheek and then giggled naughtily, "You're so handsome today!"

Harrison's heart started to race.

Just a kiss on the cheek, and his blood was already boiling.

Looking at her again, she looked absolutely gorgeous, utterly irresistible.

Harrison controlled himself, pinched her nose, "Little one, you're getting cheekier."

Roxanne chuckled happily.

"Haha, I'm only cheeky to you. Alright, off you go to work."

"Alright."

"Harrison, I'm still a bit worried about you running into Nathaniel, considering you guys work for the same company. If you do see him, you can try to avoid him."

"Don't worry, he's going to have his hands full with troubles soon, he won't have time to bother me." Harrison replied.

"But he's that kind of person, who knows what underhanded tactics he might use."

"Haven't I already given you the way to deal with him? What's there to be afraid of?"

"You're right. If Nathaniel dares to bother you, I'll make him pay. No matter what, I won't let him bully you."

"You care about me that much?"

"Of course! You're my hubby."

Seeing her protect him like this, Harrison couldn't help but laugh.

It seemed she was deathly afraid of him being bullied by Nathaniel.

If she knew that he was Nathaniel's boss, and Nathaniel couldn't bully him at all, what would she think?

Roxanne waved firmly at Harrison, watching him get off the car before she drove off.

She headed to the office, feeling at ease.

Why should she be afraid of someone like Nathaniel?

If he was gonna play hardball with her, she could play harder.

One day when Roxanne had some free time, she contacted the lawyer Harrison had recommended to her.

Then she made a trip to the court to file a lawsuit against Nathaniel.

The lawyer was a middle-aged woman with short hair. She was efficient and very friendly towards Roxanne, as well as very considerate.

Of course, she had to be, she was serving the wife of the group boss.

However, Roxanne wasn't aware of her special status.

After sorting out the matters, Roxanne said, "Ms. Stella, you've been such a great help, especially since you didn't charge me. I'm really grateful. Harrison and I would like to treat you to a meal, are you free tonight?"

Ms. Stella was pleasantly surprised.

However, thinking about dining with the big boss of the group, she suddenly felt a bit jittery.

Having dinner with that stern and aloof big boss might be a disaster.

Never mind. Besides, she was just a nobody. Being able to help the big boss with his domestic affairs was already an honor for her.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Martinez, I have other engagements tonight."

"Well, we'll invite you next time when you're free."

"Ms. Martinez, if there are any other issues, I'll follow up immediately, don't worry. We'll definitely win this lawsuit."

"Thank you, Ms. Stella."

After parting with Ms. Stella, Roxanne returned to the company.

It was already two in the afternoon.

Roxanne saw Chloe sitting at her desk, tapping on her computer while eating lunch.

She reached out to touch Chloe's lunch and found it as cold as ice.

"Why are you eating lunch now?"

She hurriedly took Chloe's lunch and heated it in the microwave.

As she typed, Chloe replied, "I haven't worked for many years, I need to relearn many professional terms. You're working so hard, I don't want to be a burden."

After her divorce from Oliver, Chloe was very serious and hardworking in her job.

Roxanne said with concern, "If you don't eat on time, I'm gonna dock a month's pay."

"Would you really?"

Roxanne brought the heated lunch back, "Eat first, then work."
