Chapter 234
Even if Harrison Rodriguez had cut all ties with her, he couldn’t instruct the community management to
prevent her from entering this community. Roxanne Martinez had full trust in Harrison on this matter.
However, how did the security know about her divorce from Harrison?
After being intercepted, she didn't try to push her way inside.
She stood there, momentarily frozen.
Her mind went blank for a moment.
The cool summer night breeze swept across her face, but it didn't bring any comfort or coolness.
Instead, she felt like a fish out of water.
She squeezed out an awkward smile.
"Are you sure about this? My ex-husband wouldn't stop me from entering the community. Please, I Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
have something urgent to discuss with him. Could you let me in, please?"
The security guard remained in his polite yet indifferent demeanor.
Standing upright, the security guard firmly stated, "If you need to reach him urgently, you can call him."
Roxanne hurriedly explained, "He's blocked my number, I can't contact him."
The guard replied, "Well, that means he doesn't want to see you. Please don't obstruct my work.
Please take all your belongings and leave here."
Roxanne had been driven away by the community management once before.
At that time, she didn't know that Harrison lived in this area, nor did she know about he was the richest
man in Seraphim Haven.
She and Oliver Lewis had come here to find a doctor living here in order to save Aria, who was in
critical condition at the hospital.
Since they weren’t residents and she hadn’t made an appointment, they were stopped by the
management.
Oliver had a heated confrontation with the management, resulting in a significant commotion.
In the end, they were both driven away.
Last time she came here to save Aria.
This time it was for Chloe Mitchell.
Roxanne was at her wit’s end. Though she tried to bride them with several packs of premium cigarettes
and sweet-talks, they didn’t let her in. Roxanne attempted to force her way inside.
Grandeur Meadows was the most expensive and mysterious upscale residential community, and all the
staff were professionally trained.
They certainly wouldn’t allow her to rush in.
At the same time, the gates were all equipped with high-tech security technology, it wasn't easy to
breach.
She was forcefully pushed away by two burly security guards, thrown back a few feet away.
She fell to the ground, her rear stung painfully.
As she was struggling to get up, a Rolls Royce approached the gate at a regular speed.
The window of the Rolls Royce was rolled down and Roxanne could see the inside clearly.
Harrison was sitting in the back seat, dressed in a suit.
In that brief moment, Harrison saw her too.
At that moment, she was still sitting on the ground, unable to get up due to the pain in her rear and
back.
"Harrison, I need to talk to you."
The car slowed down.
Roxanne could even hear Anthony in the driver seat asking Harrison, "Mr. Harrison, it's Mrs. Harrison.
Should I stop the car?"
Harrison's indifferent gaze had already shifted away from her. His voice was cold, "Keep driving."
Roxanne didn’t have time to get up, let alone catch up, the car had already entered the community
gate.
As the heavy gate slowly closed, Roxanne finally managed to get to her feet.
In just a few seconds, the car had already driven far away, turning a corner and disappearing from
sight.
Roxanne hadn’t had the time to ask Harrison for help, let alone inform him about Chloe's situation.
When she tried to force her way in again, she was stopped by several security guards at the entrance.
"Ms. Martinez, as you've just seen, Mr. Harrison doesn't want to see you."
"You better leave now. Otherwise, we'll have to follow the regulations and you’ll end up embarrassing
yourself."
Roxanne suddenly felt humiliated.
But in order to save Chloe, she had to ask for help shamelessly.
"Please, you must be able to contact my ex-husband. My good friend has been kidnapped, and only
my ex-husband can save her. Could you please pass on the message for me? I'm sure he'll help once
he knows."
The older guards furrowed his brow and said, "Ms. Martinez, can't you see it? Your ex-husband doesn't
want to see you? He wouldn’t have specifically instructed us to keep you out if he want to see you. And
he wouldn’t ignored you after seeing you fall like that. You better leave now, or we’ll have to drive you
away."
His words were a wake-up call for Roxanne.
If Harrison wanted to see her, he had no way to ignored her after seeing her fall to the ground in such a
disheveled state?
"You should leave now. Don't linger here."
"Everyone lives here is either rich or influential. They're all like a god to us, and we have to provide
them with comfortable and warm services."
"If you cause any trouble here, don't blame us for taking forceful action."
Their ruthless words hit Roxanne like a punch.
Indeed.
People living here was either wealthy or influential.
They belonged to the upper echelons of society.
They were individuals she, a ordinary person at the bottom of the social, couldn't possibly reach.
In the past, these guards treated her with respect, because she was Harrison's wife.
But now that she and Harrison were divorced, she was nothing.
She had always believed that the distance between her and Harrison was merely due to their differing
perspectives and principles.
But now, it seemed that the greatest gap between them was their social statuses.
The more glamorous she had been when she was with Harrison, the more humiliating it was now.
Her dignity had been trampled upon and crushed mercilessly.
The humiliation was unbearable.
Without waiting for them to drive her away, she left on her own.
She didn't give herself a moment to dwell on the humiliation, swiftly hailed a taxi and rushed to the
place designated by Dino.
It was a desolate and unfinished real estate project in the suburbs.
It was supposed to be a lakeside hotel.
However, it later became a deserted project.
And the hotel development was also halted.
Roxanne was familiar with this place.
The unfinished real estate often made the news, and for a time it even became a trending topic due to
reports of haunting.
It was said that there was an ominous influence in this place.
During the hotel’s construction, there had been several accidents.
It was quite ominous.
On the very day construction began, there was a fatality.
Then they brought in a priest to bless the site. But after some time, more people lost their lives.
As a result, the construction of the hotel was suspended.
What was even more mysterious was that, the investor of the hotel project jumped from the rooftop,
and died on spot.
Even his family were involved in a fatal car accident half a month later.
Many adventurers who were unafraid of death came here, and consequently, countless stories arose -
some were injured, some died, and some went mad.
Whether these were rumors or realities, no one knew for certain.
As the Uber pulled up on this side of the bridge, long before reaching the abandoned hotel, Roxanne
suddenly felt a chilling cold.
It was supposed to be summer, yet it felt bone-piercingly cold.
The Uber driver halted the car, asking, "Miss, are you sure you want to go to that abandoned hotel? I've
heard it's haunted."
Chloe was still in Dino's clutches.
If she didn't go there, Chloe would be tormented by those brutes.
Chloe's life had been hard enough, she couldn't let her suffer anymore.
Gathering up her courage, Roxanne firmly said, "Sir, could you please cross this bridge and drop me off
at the hotel's entrance? If you're scared, just drop me off and drive away quickly."
"Miss, I'm not a coward. But that place really is ominous. I've heard that anyone who gets too close will
be plagued by ghosts. I have a family to take care of and I make a living driving this Uber. You'd better
get off here and walk the rest of the way yourself. I really can't go any closer."
Roxanne realized that she couldn't force him.
So she got off the car.
The driver offered her a word of caution, advising her not to risk going into that place and then drove
away with a swoosh.
The car's exhaust fumes were supposed to be hot.
But when they enveloped her, sending a shiver down her spine, making her feel chillingly cold,
Thinking of Chloe, Roxanne steeled her resolve and walked towards the hotel.
