Chapter 214
Harrison checked the notifications on his phone.
Roxanne had withdrawn two hundred grand from his bank account.
She had started using the bank card he gave her.
Did that mean she was no longer pissed off?
"Head to the office." Harrison decided not to have Anthony tailing her anymore. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
The traffic light at the crossroad turned green.
Roxanne released the brake and sped up.
Anthony, however, made a U-turn from the left turn lane and headed back to the Rodriguez Group.
Roxanne drove her Bugatti to the Era Plaza.
Half an hour before, the Bugatti had a run-in with a Porsche. The headlight was slightly tilted, and the
paint was scratched.
But none of that stopped it from drawing people's attention.
A luxury car was indeed a luxury car.
Those who looked at her were all green with envy.
But she didn't seem to be very happy.
She called Chloe and asked her out.
Knowing she was feeling down, Chloe left her two sick kids at home under Amelia's care.
“Anne, why have you brought me to the Era Plaza? It's all luxury stores here. Everything is so pricey.”
Chloe always felt out of place in those high-end venues.
Coming from a rural area and being a divorced single mom, she felt like a fish out of water there.
“Don't sweat it. Have you forgotten? I'm now the wife of the richest man and the lady of a wealthy
family. I can afford it.”
Roxanne held Chloe's arm and walked into the store.
“Come, let me buy you a gift.”
“Anne, you seem off today. Did you have a fight with Harrison?”
Roxanne walked into a high-end women's clothing store and started picking clothes for Chloe.
After selecting a piece, she held it up against Chloe and said, “We didn’t have a fight.”
“No fight?” Chloe was skeptical.
Harrison had shut down her company, fired all her employees, and ruined her business.
It was such a big incident. There had to have been a fight, right?
“Go try it on.” Roxanne shoved the clothes into Chloe's arms.
“I'm not in the mood to try on clothes now. What the hell happened between you and Harrison?”
“Nothing really. Now go try on the clothes.”
Roxanne chose to get some fresh air instead of arguing with Harrison, just to cool down.
She needed to think about their marriage.
Think about that peculiar encounter.
In fact, she was really pissed off.
She just didn't show it.
She forced Chloe to try on clothes, bought her a ton of clothes, and also picked out a bunch for Aria
and Austin.
She bought stuff for herself, too.
All of it was paid with Harrison's bank card.
In the CEO's office on the 89th floor of the Rodriguez Group.
Harrison's phone kept receiving spending notifications.
Your bank card ending in 0038 has spent $7,800 at 10:05.
Your bank card ending in 0038 has spent $19,000 at 10:40.
Your bank card ending in 0038 has spent $60,000 at 11:05.
When the first notification came in, the corner of Harrison's mouth curled up slightly.
His mood was also great.
He thought that Roxanne finally understood how to use his bank card and was happily living the life of
a wealthy lady.
But the frequent card swipes made Harrison feel like something was off.
That wasn't Roxanne's style.
She wouldn't buy so much stuff and spend so much money in one day.
Harrison didn't care about the money. The more Roxanne used his card, the happier he was.
But according to his understanding of Roxanne, her actions seemed a bit unusual.
Where there's smoke, there's fire.
It seemed his judgement in the morning was wrong. Roxanne hadn't cooled off, but rather, she was
even more pissed.
That day, Roxanne spent over a hundred grand on Chloe.
She bought a bunch of designer clothes and bags, and even took Chloe to a beauty salon and topped
up over twenty thousand dollars.
She drove her Bugatti to drop Chloe off at home.
“Anne, you spent so much money on me today; did you ask Harrison?”
“No worries. He loves it when I use his card.” Roxanne forced a smile.
“Anne, your smile looks so strained.” Chloe was concerned for her.
Roxanne didn't answer and fell silent for a while.
“Anne, your company was shut down by Harrison. What's your plan? Will this affect your relationship
with Harrison?” Chloe was really worried.
Sitting in the driver's seat of the Bugatti, Roxanne looked lost.
She gripped the steering wheel tightly and chuckled bitterly, “I have no idea.”
She got out of the car.
She opened the car door for Chloe and said, “You should go home. The kids are waiting for you.”
That day, she returned to Harrison's mansion on time.
She prepared dinner with the chef at home.
Then she sent Harrison a message.
Harrison got home at half past six in the evening.
A lavish dinner was ready.
“We have a chef at home; you don't have to go through all this trouble to prepare dinner.”
Harrison glanced at the table full of dishes and said, “Just tell the chef whatever you want to eat.”
He put down his bag and sat next to Roxanne.
Roxanne looked at him and said, “I used your card today and bought a lot of things. You must've
received the spending notifications, right?”
“Mm.” Harrison said, “Buy whatever you like. Don't worry about the money.”
Roxanne forced a smile, “Harrison, I’m using your card and spending your money. Are you happy? You
must be very happy, right?”
Her smile gradually faded.
Her expression turned cold and annoyed, “But I'm not happy, Harrison.”
Then her words were filled with emotions.
“Harrison, it's natural for a wife to use her husband's money. Because we're family. If I run out of money
or encounter a problem I can't solve, I would gladly accept your help. But Harrison, you abruptly shut
down my company without discussing with me. You were really too arbitrary.”
Harrison frowned, "Anne, what's so bad about being a full-time housewife?"
"We shouldn't argue any further." Roxanne made a halt gesture and said, "Let's eat."
No matter how pissed off she was, she had to eat first.
Roxanne quickly finished her meal and was the first to leave the table.
Harrison hadn't even started eating.
The nanny asked, "Mr. Rodriguez, your food and soup are cold. Want me to heat them up for you?"
"No need." Harrison got up and headed upstairs.
He didn't enjoy the meal at all.
Roxanne was spending the night in the guest room.
The door was locked from the inside.
Harrison took out his key and unlocked the door from the outside.
"Roxanne, I want to talk to you." He stood at the door.
Roxanne was flipping through a book by her bedside, "If you don't agree with me going back to work,
then we have nothing to talk about."
"Please come back to our bedroom." Harrison seemed to be apologizing.
Roxanne continued reading her book, "I'm fine spending the night here."
Harrison didn't say anything else. He walked over and attempted to carry her back to their bedroom.
She struggled fiercely, not letting him carry her. Harrison had no choice but to lift her up and firmly walk
back to their bedroom.
