Chapter 100
Vincent was called over by Harrison.
Harrison figured that Roxanne was heading to Pearl Building today and given how she was dressed
plus her social status, she would definitely get stopped by the receptionist there.
Because Pearl Building was an upscale establishment. If a person wasn''t dressed formally andcked
social status, they couldn''t enter.
With no time to offer a helping hand personally, Harrison sent in Vincent for the rescue.
Vincent had a soft spot for Roxanne.
Seeing Roxanne getting held back, being humiliated, Vincent just couldn’t stomach it.
He jumped out of the car, ready to intervene, only to be held back by his butler from behind.
"Mr. Rodriguez, Harrison has warned you not to expose your identity. Rushing in to help Roxanne
would be a dead giveaway, wouldn''t it?"
Vincent halted.
He felt terrible for Roxanne; that was why he was in such a hurry. Especially when he saw Nathaniel
belittling her, he was itching to p Nathaniel right across his face.
Last month, Roxanne was bullied by Sebastian and Nathaniel. Vincent had intended to kick Nathaniel
out of Rodriguez Group’s subsidiary. But Harrison insisted that scum like Nathaniel should stick around
for a slow and painful punishment, so Vincent held back.
How could he bear to see Roxanne being humiliated like this?
"Marcus, ring up Victor. Tell him to whip out thepany checkbook and buy Pearl Building. Get it
done in five minutes."
Victor was the CFO of Rodriguez Group.
"Mr. Rodriguez, are we really buying Pearl Building?”
Really buying it? Pearl Building was worth hundreds of millions of dors.
Marcus hesitated for a moment, then Vincent whipped out his phone and dialed Victor, the CFO of
Rodriguez Group.
"Mr. Rodriguez, what can I do for you?"
"Victor, I want to buy Pearl Building. Get on it right now. Five minutes."
"Mr. Rodriguez, it can''t be done in five minutes."
He was serious?
"I''ve done my homework, Pearl Building is owned by Mr. Bishop. Call him, and tell him I''m buying his
building. Payment on the spot, no dy. Call me when it''s done."
Vincent knew the high society like the back of his hand. He knew who owned Pearl Building, and he
could find out. He was making the call right next to his car.
Not far away, Roxanne and Chloe left reluctantly.
Chloe asked, "Anne, what do we do? We can''t even get in, how are we supposed to collect the debt?"
Roxanne was a bit troubled. She used to think that earning 3 to 4 thousand dors a month was
already above average. Her ie was quite stable, and she felt a bit superior. But she was still at the
bottom of the society.
In ces frequented by the rich, she was nobody. She couldn’t even get in. She felt a bit down.
It wasn''t vanity; it was because the debtor insisted on meeting her here.
The debtor said if she showed up on time today, he would pay back the ten thousand dors he owed
her for years.
If she couldn''t get in, she couldn''t collect the debt. She was very anxious.
She said worriedly, "Let''s just wait outside. Finn has toe out from here. I''ll ask him for the money
when he does."
Chloe said, "Anne, but you also said that it''s hard to collect debt from Finn. He emphasized that if
you''re not on time, he won''t pay back the money."
Roxanne really wanted to swear. Finn was such a pain in the ass, obviously trying to make things
difficult for her. He was worth tens of millions of dors, owed her over ten thousand, and still refused to
pay.
The wealthier someone was, the more unreasonable they tended to be. And the people at the bottom
of the society like them could only suffer in silence.
Roxanne was filled with anger.
Marcus saw Roxanne and her friend approaching, and he quickly tugged at Vincent''s suit sleeve. He

whispered: "Mr. Rodriguez, Roxanne ising."
Vincent''s body quickly turned to the right, his back facing Roxanne, without saying a word.
Roxanne passed by Vincent without noticing him.
Vincent saw Roxanne''s face filled with disappointment through the car window, his heart ached.
He knew how terrible it felt to be humiliated and driven away by those who looked down on others.
Rodriguez Group wouldn''t be where it was today without Vincent enduring numerous setbacks.
When he was sessful, all the bootlickers came crawling. When he was down, he saw the worst side
of human nature.
Seeing Roxanne being humiliated like this, his heart broke.
He sent a text to Rodriguez Group''s CFO: Victor, is it done? Hurry up.
Nathaniel saw Chloe and Roxanne leaving, but he wasn''t nning to let them off the hook. He had
always been angry about the issue of Sebastian''s alimony.
He thought Roxanne was Sebastian''s daughter, so it was her duty and responsibility to support
Sebastian. He was already willing to give 300 dors for living expenses, and Roxanne was still
unwilling to support Sebastian, and that was her fault.
Furthermore, Sebastian had a limp and was from the countryside, which made Nathaniel genuinely
somewhat disdainful. He was nning on marrying some rich chick in the future, having a disabled and
useless father was such an embarrassment to him.
The more Roxanne refused to take Sebastian away, the more Nathaniel wanted to get back at her.
Watching Roxanne''s retreating figure, he said to the receptionist at the entrance of Pearl Building,
"Such a lowlife dares to step into Pearl Building? Fetch security and get them out of here, don''t ruin my
mood."
The receptionist knew well enough who was more important here. He quickly tried to appease him, "Mr.
Martinez, I''m really sorry about this. We''ll get her out right away."
They can''t afford to offend a VIP like Mr. Martinez for a lowlife like her.
After all, Mr. Martinez was a regr here, a high-ranking executive of the Rodriguez Group and held
some sway in Seraphim Haven. He can''t afford to offend him.
The receptionist quickly picked up the inte and called security, "Please escort the two women in
jeans, T-shirts, and sportswear at the entrance out of the building."
Soon several security guards approached Roxanne and Chloe and surrounded them.
Roxanne asked cautiously. "What are you nning to do?"
The security guard politely replied, "Ladies, you can''t loiter at the entrance of our building. Please leave
as soon as possible."
"What are we obstructing by standing here?" Roxanne''s anger red.
"You are not of the right status to be here. Please leave as soon as possible."
"I''m standing outside the building, in public space, and that''s obstructing you too?"
"This area is part of our building''s territory. Please leave immediately, or it might get embarrassing for
you."
Roxanne''s anger was building up in her chest, but she couldn''t vent it out. That was how it was in the
real world, if you didn''t have money, you were looked down upon.
"Fine, we''ll leave. We don''t need you to drive us out. We have feet, and we can walk."
What a disgusting society. Filled with humiliation, Roxanne grabbed Chloe''s hand, ready to leave.
At this moment, Vincent, who couldn''t bear to watch any longer, walked towards them.
