The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 80

As for this good guy, Chloe had nothing but gratitude.

At the mouth of the alley.

Alexander hopped into his Rolls Royce, the same model as Harrison's.

His bodyguards lingered in the alley, still keeping watch over Oliver.

Chloe glanced at Oliver, then at the twenty uniformed bodyguards.

"Guys, you can go do your thing. There's no need to keep an eye on him. I reckon he's done trying anything."

Oliver was beaten to a pulp and probably didn't have the energy to lay a hand on her anymore.

Even if he wanted to, he would have to wait until he's healed.

That would be a long time coming.

The lead bodyguard replied, "We have to carry out the boss's orders."

Were all rich people's bodyguards this loyal?

Chloe took another look at Oliver.

She didn't feel sorry for this man who once shared her bed at all. She thought he had it coming.

This kind of scum only dared to bully those weaker than him.

When faced with someone stronger, he became as meek as a lamb.

"Oliver, if you're not agreeing to a divorce, we'll take it to court. You better wait for the subpoena."

After picking up Aria and putting the kids to bed, Chloe called Roxanne.

Roxanne was applying a face mask.

Chloe asked, "Anne, are you asleep?"

"I'm doing a face mask. I'll read a bit, then hit the hay."

"What about Harrison?"

Roxanne laid down, putting the book she was about to read by her bedside, "I forgot to tell you, Harrison's out of the country on a business trip. Won't be back till next week."

"Huh, a programmer has to travel overseas for work?"

"I don't really know the ins and outs of his job. I suppose he's just really good at what he does."

"Anne, something odd happened today. On my way to pick up Aria, Oliver cornered me in that alley with no cameras. He wanted to hit me."

"Are you okay?" Roxanne sat up anxiously, "Why are you only telling me now?"

"I'm fine. I got saved by a big shot with twenty bodyguards, just like something out of a novel."

"What happened?"

Chloe filled Roxanne in on the details.

Roxanne agreed that it sounded like something out of a novel.

"Sounds like you got your damsel-in-distress moment."

"More like a beast in distress. I was all bruised and battered; I couldn't even recognize myself. I already have a splotchy complexion. Plus, the guy's married. I wanted to add him on WhatsApp to thank him over a meal, but he politely declined."

"Sounds like a gentleman."

"He is a real gentleman and reminds me of Harrison. That type of societal elite, businessman, successful individual."

"Why bring up Harrison? He was just a small business owner before he went bankrupt, definitely not in the same league as your knight in shining armor. Didn't you say that the key chain of your knight's car was a double R? That's a Rolls Royce. No wonder he has twenty bodyguards."

"Anne, I somehow feel like Harrison isn't really bankrupt."

"How did you figure that out?"

"Harrison has this aura about him that's even more powerful than the guy I met today. He shouldn't be bankrupt."

"Just because he's handsome, charismatic, and powerful doesn't mean he can't go bankrupt. The economy's in a slump, the pandemic's wreaking havoc, business is tough, and many people are going bankrupt. What's so strange about Harrison going bankrupt?"

"I suppose you're right."

"Chloe, are you saying that your knight in shining armor really left his twenty bodyguards there to keep an eye on Oliver?"

"When I left, they were still watching Oliver. He looked like he was about to wet his pants."

"What a wimp."

While the two friends were chatting, Harrison, who had just arrived in London and was now at his castle, was also chatting with Alexander.
