The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 184

When Harrison tried calling again, he got no answer.

No matter how many times he called, he was met with the dreaded "call cannot be completed."

He hightailed it to the location Roxanne had last pinged from. After a long search, all he found was a

busted-up phone on the ground. He searched all day, but Roxanne was nowhere to be found. She had

vanished.

Upon hearing the news, Alexander dialed Harrison up right away. At that moment, Harrison was on the

horn with the embassy staff in Novaria, negotiating with the Novarian government.

After picking up the call, Harrison briskly said, "Shoot."

"Harrison, I've heard about Roxanne going missing. I've got fifty bodyguards with me; we're gonna

charter a flight over and meet you."

Harrison was a member of the Rodriguez Group and had the embassy's backing. The Novarian

government would definitely help find Roxanne. But this was foreign soil, where law and order were

sketchy at best. Crime rates were high, and the criminals were ruthless. Therefore, Alexander had to

bring his crew over and rendezvous with Harrison.

After more than twenty hours, .Alexander arrived in Novaria. After meeting with Harrison at the

embassy, they started discussing how to find Roxanne. Harrison didn't want to waste any time and was

ready to hit the streets looking for her.

Alexander grabbed his shoulder, stopping him. "Harrison, you haven't slept in two days, have you?"

Alexander asked with concern.

Harrison's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked worn out. His chin and cheeks were covered with

stubble. Alexander felt for him. "You should get some sleep."

But how could Harrison sleep when there was no news of Roxanne? His throat bobbed as his eyes

glistened with unshed tears.

"Roxanne might seem brave. It’s true she’s not afraid of a scrap, but she's actually terrified of being

alone." Harrison continued with a hoarse voice. "Truth is, she's just a little girl who needs a man to

protect her. I don't want her to be scared."

Alexander silently watched him as his own heart grew heavy. "I'll go with you." He offered.

"No need." Harrison patted Alexander on the shoulder. "Go meet up with Chloe. Don't let her know you

came to see me; she's already worried sick about Roxanne going missing."

"Chloe should be okay." Alexander replied.

"You should stick with her." Harrison insisted, looking concerned. "I have a feeling Roxanne's

disappearance isn't just a run-of-the-mill crime."

Alexander's brow furrowed. "You mean..."

The same possibility struck them at the same time. "You think the people who took Roxanne are after

Rodriguez Group's 6G-Technology?"

Harrison nodded silently.

Back home, these people couldn't find an opportunity to strike. But abroad, they were in their element.

Earlier, they had even collaborated with a foreign judicial department to detain Harrison's father,

Vincent Rodriguez, in order to get their hands on the Rodriguez Group's 6G-Technology.

Now, they had set their sights on Roxanne.

They weren't going to give up easily.

They were fighting for it, both openly and behind the scenes.

No wonder the Rodriguez Group had been on such a roll these past few years. Their 6G-Technology

had made a global impact.

High-profile figures from various countries were eager to pocket this lucrative technology.

Harrison was filled with regret. "I was too careless."

If he had known they were after Roxanne, he would have protected her better.

Alexander tried to comfort him. "It’s a good thing if they're after our 6G-Technology. They won't hurt

Roxanne. You don't have to worry about her getting hurt. But..."

Alexander asked. "If they want to exchange Roxanne for the 6G-Technology, what would you do?"

The 6G-Technology was a major project that the Rodriguez Group had invested heavily in for the past

few years.

It was not only crucial to the survival of the group but also closely related to the country's IT

development.

It was a tough choice.

But Harrison firmly said. "If I can't even protect my own woman, what's the point of running a

business?"

...

Taking Harrison's advice, Alexander prepared to meet up with Chloe.

He would also help find Roxanne on the down-low.

He called Chloe and lied about being in Novaria on business.

Once he finished his business, he could meet her.

Over the phone, a crying Chloe pleaded with him. "Mr. Alexander, it's so good that you're in Novaria.

Roxanne's missing, and Harrison's been so upset these past few days that he can't eat or sleep. Could

you help us?"

Alexander thought it over.

With Roxanne's disappearance, Harrison was pulling a lot of strings, which would surely blow his cover.

But he probably hadn't revealed his true identity to Chloe yet, right?

So he had to keep up the charade in front of Chloe, pretending to be very worried and asking for

details.

He promised to help over the phone.

He also warned Chloe to be careful and not to go out alone.

He was a bit worried.

He was afraid Chloe, in her haste to find Roxanne, would run into some trouble.

So he repeatedly told her to put safety first. “Chloe, don’t go looking for Roxanne by yourself. What if

you go missing too? I’ll come and find you right away.”

When he saw Chloe open the door, Alexander breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't fathom why he was somewhat worried about this woman.

Maybe it was because he and Chloe were now friends.

At this moment, he suddenly had a deeper understanding of Harrison's worry and anxiety after

Roxanne's disappearance.

Seeing that Chloe was safe, Alexander couldn’t help but feel lucky as he thanked God that she didn't

get into trouble with Roxanne.

However, Chloe was incredibly heartbroken and had been crying ever since she heard of Roxanne’s

disappearance.

Her eyes were swollen like a frog's.

Alexander hurriedly comforted her. "Chloe, don't panic; I've already made contact with my bodyguards

and international mercenaries. With their help, there's a bigger chance of finding your friend."

"Awesome!"

Chloe was so moved that she was on the verge of tears.

Hiring mercenaries would definitely cost a fortune.

Ordinary people didn’t even have the means to contact them.

Chloe quickly pulled out her phone. "Then I'll call Harrison right away, so he won't worry too much."

"Chloe, how about you give me Harrison's contact info? It would be more convenient for me to get in

touch with him directly."

Harrison must have been very busy at this moment.

Alexander didn't want Chloe to call and distract Harrison with the need to keep his identity a secret.

He pretended to have already added Harrison on WhatsApp, then calmly reassured her. "Don't worry,

your friends are my friends; I will do my utmost to help find her."

Chloe nodded in agreement.

She was nodding and crying at the same time.

For Chloe, if something happened to Roxanne, it would be like losing a part of herself.

"Stop crying. Your friend is very smart; I believe she will be fine."

Alexander reached out and wiped the tears from Chloe's face.

He couldn't understand why he was so anxious.

Maybe it was because Harrison's wife was in trouble, or maybe seeing Chloe cry so much made him

feel somewhat sad.

The mercenaries were already prepared.

Harrison was willing to pay a hefty sum as long as they could find Roxanne. He was willing to offer a

bounty of up to a hundred million dollars.

Even the military and political circles in Novaria were willing to assist.

Hope was within reach.

However, another three days passed, and there was still no news about Roxanne.

The surveillance equipment in the place where Roxanne disappeared had been completely destroyed.

In this strange land, finding Roxanne was like trying to find a grain of sand in the ocean. It was an

exceedingly difficult task.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
