The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 99

"No sweat," Chloe said firmly. "As long as I can divorce this deadbeat and make sure I get custody of the kids, I don't give a damn about the rest."

Aria and Austin were her whole world. As long as she could be with her two kids, she wasn't scared of any hardships that might come after the divorce.

The divorce proceedings dragged on for over an hour. Chloe got what she wanted: full custody of her kids. But that didn't mean she was winning at life.

After leaving the courthouse, the Lewis family was still spewing venom.

Roxanne got Chloe into the car. On the ride, Chloe tried her best to keep it together, not to let herself cry. But she couldn't hold back. She once thought marrying Oliver would give her a lifetime of happiness. Who would've guessed she'd end up like this?

Roxanne comforted Chloe for a long time. Wiping away her tears, Chloe managed a smile, "Actually, it's not that bad. When I was with Oliver, we had nothing. Now, even though we're divorced, at least I've got my two adorable munchkins."

Being able to walk away with Austin and Aria was a blessing indeed.

However, as Chloe was laughing, she started crying again. Roxanne handed her a tissue to wipe away her tears. Taking the tissue, Chloe wiped her eyes, "I'm fine. I just feel relieved and liberated."

After Chloe's divorce, Roxanne didn't waste any more time. She proposed to Oliver to dissolve their company. In a couple of days, the company was dissolved.

Roxanne and Chloe decided to start a business together. She shared the news with Harrison. Harrison tried to persuade her over the phone. "Roxanne, running a business isn't a walk in the park. I can hook you up with a job at Rodriguez Group. At least it would provide you with a stable income and security."

"Are you looking down on us?" Roxanne retorted.

"I didn't mean it like that. I just want you to have a steadier life," Harrison tried to explain. He thought if Roxanne could work at Rodriguez Group, she'd have an easy time earning a high salary, instead of hustling all over the place.

However, Roxanne was a go-getter. That very day, she registered a new company with Chloe. Once the registration was done, they started hiring new staff.

Back home in the evening, Harrison set down his briefcase and started, “Roxanne, you should take a look at Rodriguez Group. I saw their latest job posting, they don't require a degree.”

Roxanne was in the kitchen, making soup. She glanced back at him. “Do you think Rodriguez Group is yours to give? One, I don’t want to go. Two, I don’t have the qualifications. Three, I really want to start my own business.”

She felt that a steady job had its limitations. Even if she were to join Rodriguez Group, she'd probably be stuck doing menial tasks.

Skimming off the froth from the soup, she looked at Harrison who came over and added, "Don't worry about my job. In a while, Chloe and I will get our business off the ground."

Unable to persuade her, Harrison gave up. Roxanne turned down the heat on the stove a little, turned around and said, "Tomorrow, I need to go to Pearl Building to collect a long-overdue payment. I still need to make some preparations. Turn off the stove in about twenty minutes."

"Pearl Building?" Harrison frowned, deep in thought. He had been there before. It was a high-end place frequented by the wealthy. To get in, one had to be in formal attire. Should he remind Roxanne?

Harrison asked, "What time are you going?"

Roxanne answered, "I'll be there at ten in the morning. I've already set a meeting with the guy who owes me."

"How much does he owe you, and for how long?"
