Chapter 44
Harrison arrived with bodyguards, but he was toote. Even though he usually appeared alone, without
any bodyguards apanying him, the truth was that his top-notch security personnel were dispersed
among the local citizens, concealed in various corners.
Under Harrison''s guidance, these bodyguards cleared a path for him to walk through.
Just as Roxanne was reaching her breaking point, Harrison stood in front of her, shielding her and
helping her escape. She had no idea that Harrison had sent bodyguards to protect her. In that moment
as Harrison protected her, he seemed like a hero.
When they finally reached a location where no one could follow, Harrison stopped. He, too, had been
dirtied in the process of protecting her.
Roxanne felt truly sorry to see him, who usually appeared so clean, covered in filth.
"Harrison, I''m sorry. I''ve involved you in this and made things so difficult for you."
"We''re a married couple. There''s no need for apologies."
He helped her wipe the dirt off her face. He had never seen her in such a disheveled and pitiable state
before.
"Don''t worry, no one will dare harass you outside yourpany tomorrow."
Unbeknownst to Roxanne, Harrison had already made arrangements.
She didn''t want Harrison to see her in such a state of disarray and lowered her head, feeling wronged.
"Harrison, do I look very ugly like this?"
"Not at all."
"You''re just trying tofort me."
"I''m really not lying; you don''t look ugly."
"Harrison, could I lean on your shoulder?"
Harrison didn''t respond, so Roxanne took it as his agreement. In reality, Harrison wanted to hold her
close, offering aforting embrace.
But what Roxanne truly needed right now was a shoulder to lean on. She leaned against his shoulder,
despite the dirt on his clothes.
Neither of them cared about each other''s smell. It was the first time Harrison realized that the usually
independent Roxanne also needed him at times. This feeling of being needed was truly wonderful.
He patted her back gently. "It''s okay, it''s okay."
Harrison had Alexander gather information about Sebastian''s current wife and son. Sebastian''s son
was named Nathaniel Martinez. He worked as the CFO at an investmentpany under the
Rodriguez Group, earning a yearly sry of five hundred thousand dors. He owned several
properties in Seraphim Haven, including two expensive sports cars and SUVs. Some of these
properties were gifted by Sebastian in the past, while others Nathaniel purchased himself.
Harrison also found out that the idea to defame Roxanne on the inte came from Nathaniel.
With the information collected, Harrison decided to help Roxanne resolve the online defamation issue.
Vincent was deeply saddened by Roxanne''s situation.
How could such a good daughter have such a malicious father? Vincent gave Harrison an order.
"Harrison, I don''t care. You go online and take down all the distorted videos about Sebastian."
Since the Rodriguez Group held shares in two of these mediapanies and Harrison knew the
controllers of the remaining major online media outlets, it only took a few minutes to take down the
videos from their official websites and self-media tforms.
"Dad, you used to be the chairman of thepany. If we remove these videos, won''t new ones
attacking Roxanne appear? Haven''t you thought about that?"
Could that viin Sebastian really stop at this?
He definitely wouldn''t.
Harrison said, "To solve this problem, we need to show the truth to the public and give Roxanne
justice."

Vincent retorted, "But people online often only believe what they see and hear. They trust what''s
presented to them. Sebastian abandoning Roxanne happened twenty-four years ago; it''s not easy to
rify this with just words."
"Don''t worry, I''m gathering evidence."
Vincent added, "Also, go talk to the local police station and city management department, so that those
inte users don''t cause trouble at Roxanne''spany."
"I''ve already arranged that."
"So quickly?"
Vincent noticed that Harrison was bing more and more invested in Roxanne''s affairs and taking
practical actions to protect and support her. This was a good sign. As long as his son cared enough
about this matter, Vincent could rest assured. He hadplete trust in his son''s capabilities.
As usual, Roxanne rode her electric bike and took Harrison to the subway station. Even though his long
legs were in an awkward position while sitting on her small electric bike, he started to get used to it.
Riding with her allowed him to see different scenery, something he couldn’t experience in his luxurious
car.
He felt the air was fresher as he sat on Roxanne''s electric bike. So, despite having reached the subway
station, Harrison wasn''t in a hurry to get off the electric bike. Roxanne looked back and said, "Why
haven''t you gotten off? It''s almost eight o''clock. You have to be at work by 8:30 a.m. Aren’t you afraid
of beingte?”
He was the boss of thepany. He could go to work whenever he pleased.
Apanying her to the subway station on her electric bike every day was just to avoid her finding out
his true identity for now.
After she questioned him, Harrison finally got off the electric bike. Roxanne asked, “Don’t your feet get
numb when you ride my electric bike?”
Harrison replied, “No.”
“Well then, hurry up and go to work.”
“Don’t worry too much about Sebastian. I have a friend who’s a private detective. He can help me
gather some evidence that’s favorable for you.”
“There’s no need to trouble your friend. Favors should be maintained; if you owe someone a favor, you
have to repay it. I’ve already figured out a solution. I’ll handle it myself.”
“We’re husband and wife. Why are you being so polite to me?”
“Now, go to work already.”
Harrison had to pretend to take the subway.
In reality, his driver, Anthony, had been waiting on the other side of the road for quite some time.
Anthony waited for Mr. Harrison every day from a distance.
Harrison could have just gotten into the car nearby, but he insisted on riding Roxanne''s electric bike to
the subway station.
After watching Harrison enter the subway station, Roxanne noticed somethingter on. Did Harrison
hold her waist particrly tightly when he was on her electric bike? Was he worried about falling off?
That was weird since she hadn’t ridden that fast today.
Roxanne arrived at a nearby alley near herpany and saw that there were many security personnel
patrolling it. Both the police station and the city management department were mobilized. Many tall,
suited men who seemed like bodyguards stood there, appearing quite formidable. What were they
doing? Could it be that they were capturing criminals nearby, like they didst time? But if they were
arresting criminals, local police officers would be enough. Why were there so many people who looked
like bodyguards?
She had no idea that her husband had used his connections to mobilize them to protect her from being
harassed again.
At thepany, Oliver was still pressuring her to withdraw her shares. It was really frustrating.
"Roxanne, didn''t you say you would double thepany''s sales? Look at how far the sales have
dropped now!"
"You should give me some more time."
"For how long? Three days, five days? If this continues, the wholepany will suffer because of you."
"Give me three more days."
"Alright, Roxanne, as you say. If thepany''s online business is affected by you three days from now,
you will automatically withdraw from thepany. You won''t even get your invested capital back.
Consider itpensation for the losses thepany suffered."
"Oliver, how can you treat Roxanne like this? She worked hard during the initial stages of thepany.
You don''t understand anything, and the online business was started by Roxanne. You can''t just
abandon her like this."
Oliver retorted strongly, "Is this called abandonment? Because of Roxanne, ourpany doesn''t even
have a single order now. Rent for the office building, employee sries, supplier payments… none of
them can be avoided, right? Are we all going to suffer because of her?"
Thepany''s financial staff chimed in, "Yes, Roxanne, because of you, we won''t even be able to pay
sries next month. By then, we''ll have to find new jobs."
The difficult situation they were in now was all caused by Sebastian.
Roxanne''s mind was in chaos; she waspletely muddled. "Just give me a few more days; I''ll find a
way to fix this."
She rode her electric bike alone, aimlessly wandering along the riverbank. As she walked, she racked
her brain, trying toe up with a solution.
Harrison''s arranged bodyguards were trailing behind at a distance and kept him updated on the
situation.
"Mr. Rodriguez, Roxanne has been riding her electric bike by the riverside for several rounds now.
Could she be in danger? Should I monitor her more closely?"
