The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 86

Roxanne was puzzled. Mr. Alexander seemed to be way too concerned about her.

She had only met him twice and had one meal with him, why was he so interested in her welfare?

It was only when Alexander confirmed that Roxanne only had a superficial injury on her forehead, that he breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, Harrison, who was in London, would have dropped his important affairs and flown back to Seraphim Haven straight away.

Alexander quickly texted Harrison. [Chill, your wife only has a minor scrape on her forehead. I'll take care of her car accident, so you don't need to rush back. Finish your stuff, then come back.]

If Harrison had to come back early, Alexander would have to deal with everything instead. He would have to fly to London again.

Then, his wife would get pissed off because he wasn't there for her. He would have to figure out how to make it up to her. So, in Alexander's mind, helping Harrison sort out his domestic affairs and taking good care of his wife was like killing two birds with one stone.

Just then, a young man, who was driving the Bugatti, approached. His previous arrogance, superiority, and disdain for others disappeared in an instant when he saw Alexander. He immediately became obsequious. "Mr. Alexander, what a coincidence, didn't expect to bump into you here."

Alexander had no recollection of the young man. "Who are you?"

"Mr. Alexander, don't you remember me? I'm the son of one of your suppliers. You had dinner with my father once."

"Supplier?"

"Remember the renewable energy project? My dad showed you the proposal."

Alexander vaguely remembered him and nodded. "I recall now. But what's going on here?" He was referring to the car accident.

He continued, "Roxanne is my friend, did you block her way and cause her to crash?"

The young man instantly became submissive and kept apologizing to Roxanne.

"Ms. Martinez, right? I'm so sorry, I didn't know we were all friends. Yeah, it was my bad, I braked too abruptly, and that's why you crashed into me. I'm really sorry. Ms. Martinez, how about this, I'll get your car towed and fixed, and then I'll return it to you. Is that okay?"

Ha! Roxanne sneered inwardly. Facing the richer and more powerful Mr. Alexander, this young man suddenly became submissive, from cursing like a sailor to being extremely polite. Mr. Alexander really did her a solid today.

Seeing her frown, the young man hurriedly apologized, "Ms. Martinez, I was wrong earlier, I hope you can forgive me."

Roxanne retorted coldly, "Actually, I should be apologizing to you. I crashed into your car, and I will definitely pay for the damages."

The young man looked like he was about to cry. "Please, don't say that, if I hadn't failed to see clearly and drove in front of you, you wouldn't have crashed into me. I wouldn't dare ask you for money. I promise to fix your car within one day and return it to you."

Alexander intervened. "Ms. Martinez, let him fix it. You're injured. I'll take you to see a doctor."

Roxanne did indeed have a wound on her forehead. She touched it and saw a good amount of blood on her hand. The wound was also a bit painful.

After some persuasion from Alexander, she got into his Shelby Supercars sports car.

She knew about the Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Maybach, but she had never seen a Shelby Supercars before.

She had to check the logo. Shelby Supercars had a diamond logo. Was this a sports car worth millions of dollars?

Poverty really did limit her imagination. She thought the most expensive cars were the Bentley and Rolls-Royce. She never thought there were Shelby Supercars that cost millions. No wonder that young man changed his attitude so quickly and became so obsequious when he saw Mr. Alexander.
