2024-10-29 19:42:56Dexie's stoic demeanor infuriated Rodel. He knew that trying to evoke emotions from Dexie would be futile and could result in mockery. Therefore, he stopped attempting to appear affectionate, and his true nature shone through, making him seem more like a scoundrel. Dexie found it difficult to interact with Rodel. She understood the purpose of the meeting but was in no rush. She took a teaspoon and stirred her coffee slowly.
Rodel wasted no time in speaking. "I heard you're now a professor at Johnston University, teaching second-year medical students?" he asked.Dexie picked up her coffee cup and took a small sip. "Yes," she replied.It was no surprise that Rodel knew. He probably learned about it from Roxane on Dexie's first day at Johnston University. But not from Dexie. She understood why Rodel felt the need to bring it up.Shortly after, Rodel sneered coldly. He could barely conceal the disdain he felt for Dexie; it was evident in the way he

“Mr. Domino, why does he have Alzheimer's when he is not old yet?" Dexie raised her hand and pointed to her head, continuing, "Stop daydreaming. It's terrible for the brain. How will your useless family members behave if you're old and only daydreaming? The family that depended on you?"Dexie laughed lightly as she spoke and then turned around, walking away from him. "Dexie! Dexie!!" Rodel Domino shouted, but Dexie did not turn back to look at him.Rodel sat back down in his seat, feeling angry as the other people in the cafe started giving him strange looks. He had never imagined that Dexie would not take him seriously, especially considering the reputation of Johnston University.If the public found out that the dean of Johnston University had accepted a bribe and allowed a 20-year-old girl with only a high school diploma to teach in the Department of Medicine, it would surely attract attention in the education sector. This could have serious

Let's not dwell on the original poster's question about whether Professor Dexie Hansley is just a high school graduate. It's clear from watching the video that she doesn't teach by simply following a lesson plan."I am a medical student at Yale Medical University, and based on my personal experience, Professor Hansley's class video was very professional. Setting aside age and education qualifications, the standards of Professor Hansley's teachings are truly impressive, according to the video. Are we certain that she is just a high school graduate who knows nothing, as the original poster suggested? Following this initial comment, many students from professional medical universities echoed similar sentiments. Do you recognize the name Dexie Hansley? Have you forgotten about her famous thesis publications in 'World Medicine'?"After reading this comment, those in the medical field remembered the impactful articles that Dexie had published. The comments intrig

At that moment, the phone on Mr. Henrick's desk rang. "Hello? Yes? Sure. Of course," he said before hanging up. He then looked at the furious parents and smiled."The relevant government department has already sent an investigation team. Everyone can go to them and file complaints," Mr. Henrick told them.The parents, seeing Mr. Henrick's lack of guilt, frowned. They knew the situation was going to be challenging. Making money quickly would not be easy."Luke Huxley, I didn't expect you to invite me out. What an unusual occasion," Rodel said. Domino said this to Luke Huxley Dawson, who was sitting before him in an excellent mood. Rodel seemed proud of himself at that moment.Luke Huxley had approached Rodel for a reason, but it wasn't related to Dexie. After all, Dexie was an ex-wife whom Luke Huxley hated in Rodel's eyes.How could someone as proud as Luke Huxley defend Dexie in that moment?Luke Huxley l

That day, Dexie would find himself at the forefront of the scandal. Of course, they would have to share such a joyful day as a couple.That was why Sarry had come to the office with Rodel. Everything was going well until Rodel went out to meet Luke Huxley Dawson and became furious. Sarry was horrified to see him so angry."Rodel, what happened?"She approached Rodel and massaged his shoulders, trying to calm him down. After a while, Rodel slowly calmed down and told Sarry what Luke Huxley had said when she had invited him to tea.Sarry's expression changed after hearing what Rodel said."What did Luke Huxley want? Didn't he say he didn't care about Dexie anymore? Why is he helping Dexie now? Could it be that they are getting along again?"Rodel's head was splitting with anger. "What's the point of going over the details? Let's think about how we are going to reduce the impact on my reputation. I didn't expect to spend mon

Here is my resume and a copy of my degree. Please review them. If there are any issues, feel free to approach me."Good."The members of the investigation team were familiar with Mr. Henrick's background and character. Initially, they did not believe he had violated any hiring norms when recruiting Dexie Hansley at the University of Johnston. However, due to their unwarranted agitation, some online users felt compelled to address the issue."Don't worry, we will ensure a fair resolution for the public," they reassured."Thank you," Henrick responded.After the research team left, a few parents who had caused trouble remained, convinced that Dexie might have bribed the investigators."Don't think you can deceive us with false evidence! Who knows if you've bribed the investigators?" The father, whom Dexie had previously embarrassed, said it with a bitter tone.Dexie gazed at him. Though a smile lingered on her li

Louis Quinton sent a direct tweet, questioning, "Are you suggesting that we are so confused that we cannot recognize a person in a video?"Other leaders in the medical field quickly retweeted Prof. Quinton's statement. Dexie's educational credentials left the trolls speechless as they struggled to find another flaw to criticize. With prominent leaders supporting Dexie, who would dare to question her level of education?After facing such humiliation, the trolls sought out the mastermind behind the attacks to express their anger.A group of people flooded their Twitter accounts, criticizing them directly and prompting them to disable the comments section. The backlash didn't stop there. People widely shared details about Dexie's education and moral integrity.What if Dexie Hansley is amazing? Could this change the fact that she was born to a mistress and endured bullying from the child her biological father had rightfully adopted?

One minute passed, then another.After repeating the process ten times in a row, Roxane finally found herself obedient to Dexie's instructions. Are you awake?"A crisp voice, accompanied by a grim reaper's smile, echoed in Roxane's ears, sending shivers down her spine and rendering her speechless with fear."Are you awake?!" Dexie's voice grew louder as she forcefully pulled Roxane's hair, enthralling her enough to meet her gaze."I'm awake," Roxane whimpered.Slap!Another slap landed on Roxane's face, leaving her stunned."What are you crying about? Did your father die?" Dexie taunted, instilling fear in Roxane, who trembled but dared not make a sound."Roxane, if you can't handle it, don't push yourself. Assess the situation carefully. Don't act like a fool in front of me," Dexie admonished, her actions resembling those of Cinderella's evil stepsister. With a last pat on Roxane's cheek, she let go of her hair, causing her to

It took Luke Huxley a long time to recover and shake off the pain and anguish he was feeling. With a solemn expression on his face, he coldly looked at the tweet that slandered Dexie and clicked on it. Luke Huxley's gaze turned icy after reading the tweet, emanating an air of coldness and quiet anger that made one wonder if getting too close to him would result in his stare freezing them."That's really great, Rodel; you have a wonderful daughter!"Luke Huxley snorted in response. He pulled out his smartphone, dialed Warry's number, and instructed, "Publish all the things Rodel had done on the Internet! I'm sure cyberbullying would be exciting!"Luke Huxley thought about himself.The student, still in shock, hesitated to move and waited for Dexie to leave before gathering the courage to help Roxane up. Meanwhile, Roxane remained on the floor, trembling in fear, as Dexie's actions scared her out of her mind. It seemed as if Dexie was the embodiment of

Gavin replied, “Yes.”He felt a little confused. Outside of family gatherings, the most frequent visitors to the Huxley family were the company executives. Luke never needed to give specific instructions. However, today he gave specific instructions. Who was the guest?However, Gavin only thought about it to himself and didn’t dare say it out loud.Dexie looked at Luke with a smile on her face and said, “Can we go downstairs for breakfast now?”Luke looked at her with a bitter expression on his face as he said, “I’m in a hurry to go to the office.”“Aren’t you going to eat?” Dexie froze for a moment and inquired.Luke nodded and said, “I still have something to do in the office.”“But... I got up really early and was busy all morning,” Dexie said, raising her head in a somewhat aggrieved manner and giving Luke a pitying look. Are you truly planning to skip breakfast?Luke stopped and said, “You and Danny should eat.”When she saw him like that, Dexie knew what was on his mind. She sai

When Dexie woke up, her body ached. A nurse removed the needle from her hand and, when she opened her eyes, she asked in surprise, “Miss Hansley, are you awake?” Dexie wanted to move but had no strength left.Even after struggling for a while, she still couldn’t get up. The nurse hurriedly said, “Don’t move; I’ll get you some water and help you up.”She used cotton swabs and tape to press the needle tube she had just removed from Dexie’s hand. Dexie was leaning on soft pillows when she turned to pour water and asked, “Miss Hansley, are you hungry?”Dexie was still a bit dazed, and instead of responding to the nurse’s words, she asked, “What happened to me?” The nurse said, “You had a very high fever. Thankfully, early detection prevented disastrous consequences.”It turned out she had a fever. The day before, she went out to look for Danny and came back drenched. She felt uncomfortable and had no strength left before going to bed at night, but she didn’t expect it to be so serious. Su

Perhaps it was the serious and sincere expression in his eyes that caused Danny to look at Dexie with a hint of doubt.Dexie let out a sigh of relief, then told Danny to lie down and said, “Sleep for a while. You need more rest to get better.”Danny nodded, but he was still a little worried, so he looked at Dexie.Dexie got up, covered him with the blanket, then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Danny’s forehead. With a smile, she said, “Go to sleep. Mommy will come back to my room once you’re asleep.”Danny nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.After closing his eyes for a moment, as if he were still worried, he opened his eyes and looked at Dexie again.He felt relieved to see Dexie still looking at him with a smile.Dexie smiled and said, “Go to sleep.”Danny nodded. Dexie stroked the bed covers over him while humming a lullaby. Danny was exhausted, so he soon fell asleep.After Danny fell asleep, Dexie let out a sigh of relief and stood up.After experiencing intense an

She was busy in the kitchen. After preparing the food, she went upstairs to see if the doctor had finished bandaging him. As soon as she exited the kitchen, she witnessed Gavin dismissing the doctor. Only a nurse remained at home. Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes as she listened to the doctor’s instructions.Dexie hurried upstairs to see if Danny had woken up.This time, Victor was guarding Danny. He seemed to wait for Dexie. He looked at Dexie coldly and said in a frosty tone, “Miss Hansley, put the things at the door and let the servants in later to deliver them.”He addressed her as Miss Hansley in a polite and distant tone.Dexie had a terrible feeling in her heart and said, “Mr. Huxley, I know you must hate me now, but Danny has a special condition and cannot eat when someone else feeds him. It’s better to let me in. After he recovers, you can deal with me.”Her voice was very hoarse.As she descended the mountain today, she was shouting Danny’s name and crying uncontrollably. Th

Dexie clenched her teeth and gazed in her direction. At that moment, she couldn’t be overly aggressive. Everyone believed she was the one who made Danny flee and sustain injuries. They and Luke might not let her in if she was too confrontational now. She believed she couldn’t take any chances.Dexie took a deep breath and looked at Ava. After trying to calm down, she said to Ava, “Mrs. Huxley, we can discuss who would be responsible later. Luke won’t let me off easily, so don’t stand in my way. I want to go in and see how Danny is. Since there are so many people inside, I can’t do anything to help Danny. I just want to see him. Besides, you have no right to stop me.”Ava scoffed at Dexie and said, “I am Danny’s grandmother and a member of the Huxley family, so why don’t I stop you? You are not welcome here and cannot enter under any circumstances. Luke also told you to leave. Now that Danny has been found, why are you still here?”Dexie was about to speak when the room’s door opened.
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 318: Danny is Found
Dexie took a deep breath, climbed the stairs, and left her bag in the room. She put on a pair of sturdy, non-slip snow boots and a thick down jacket, then grabbed her thermos and headed out the back door where Danny had also left.The warm water was for Danny to drink. When they found him, he would probably want to drink water.Dexie took a flashlight just in case, then went out the door.She was very careful as she walked along the road. She scrutinized the ground for footprints and the branches on either side for any clues left by Danny.Even though she was anxious, she needed to calm down. Finding Danny was the most important thing.After walking for a few minutes, she saw two small paths in front of her. Suddenly she froze in place and hesitated.She wondered, Which path did he take?Although Danny had autism, he was smarter and more contemplative than normal children. Dexie felt she couldn’t try to understand based on common sense, but should think, if I were Danny... what would

As soon as Ava’s voice lowered, Dexie glanced at Gavin and asked, “How is the search going? Has Danny left this mountain?”Gavin looked at Luke and saw that he was still expressionless. He sighed and, without hiding it anymore, said, “We sent people to search and sent a drone, but... Danny is nowhere to be found. They have checked several checkpoints at the exit and consulted with the security guards. Danny never... Unless Danny escaped by climbing a wall at the foot of a mountain, he must still be on the mountain.”After Gavin’s statement, Dexie became even more concerned. She frowned and asked, “Are there no surveillance cameras? Look for surveillance footage and see what happened.”Gavin sighed and said, “except inside and outside the mansion, only a few mountain paths have cameras.” There aren’t many trails, and the nature of the mountain makes it impossible to install surveillance cameras everywhere.Dexie inquired once more, “What is the duration of his absence?”Gavin said, “It

After Dexie spoke with Jessebelle and Noah, it was almost three-thirty. Seeing the time, she said, “It’s time for me to go back.”Noah said, “Alright, be careful and understand that your own safety is the most important, no matter what happens.”Dexie nodded and said, “I know.”Dexie had only driven a few hundred meters after parting ways with the siblings.Gavin called. Dexie was in a positive mood, so she answered the phone and asked with a smile, “Gavin, since you’re calling me now, could it be that you found something in the investigation?”Dexie was in a positive mood, but Gavin said with a desperate voice, “Ma’am, please come back soon. Danny is missing.”“What?” Dexie’s tone changed, and her heart started beating wildly.“Danny ran away on his own. We’ve been searching for a long time, but we still haven’t found him. Even though it’s not snowing, the outside temperature is extremely low, and the road remains icy. There are mountain roads outside, so I’m afraid that Danny might

Danny’s expression was angry, and he frowned as he said, “Mom said she would be home before 3 o’clock. She broke her promise.”Ava sighed, with a look of distress on her face, and said, “Really? How could she break her promise? That’s unacceptable!”Danny seemed even more upset when he heard Ava’s words and said in a plaintive tone, “Mom promised me, so why hasn’t she come back? Did she fight with dad again?”Ava sighed and said, “She might not return, but she might have promised to be home before 3 o’clock just to console you.”I heard she promised you yesterday, but then she disappeared. She may have returned out of sympathy after seeing your tears. Danny, don’t feel too sad about it. Even if she’s not here, I can love you.”Danny shook his head with a look of grievance and said, “No, I want mom.”Ava repeated, “But... she’s not coming back, are you going to go out looking for her?”After hesitating for a while, Danny said calmly, “I... want to call mom.”Ava sighed and told Danny,
