Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 12
Dexie smiled sarcastically, "It seems like your appetite has grown after living with my family for so many years. Do you really think you're the heir to the family?" Roxane was so agitated by Dexie's insult that she almost lost her mind. Releasing her pent-up anger, Roxane blurted out, "I am the heir to the Domino family." Silence filled the room immediately after Roxane's outburst. As they turned to Dexie, guilt and panic instantly replaced their previously dark faces. Dexie raised her eyebrows, put on a playful smile, and then looked at Roxane. "What? Did you just say?" Dexie asked, her eyes flickering with amusement. Roxane's mind was hazy with anger. As she calmed down, her heart raced uncontrollably when she encountered Dexie's mocking look. She refused to meet Dexie's eyes, lowering her gaze. Before Roxane could respond, Dexie looked from her to Rodel and laughed. "If I'm not mistaken, did she say that she is the heir to the Domino family?" "No, no, that's not what Roxa

Even though he was the corporation's head, he was still a member of the Hansley Corporation, not the Domino Corporation.He was merely an employee of the Hansley family.The sarcastic smile on Dexie's face reminded Rodel that she was a member of the Hansley family, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.Dexie's presence reminded him of the shame of depending on her husband, and it was as if his history of relying on a woman could only disappear if she were gone.All the members of the Domino family crowded into Roxane's room.There were only two or three maids who stayed to serve Dexie.However, the maids had disapproving looks in their eyes.Mrs. Dawson was too ruthless and vicious.Even though Ms. Domino was not her biological sister, they had lived together as sisters for more than a decade. Mrs. Domino was seriously ill. How could Mrs. Dawson be so cruel to herself? Now that Ms. Domino is in critical condition, no one knows if she will survive. How could Mrs. Dawson h

She paused for a moment, then laughed lightly before continuing contemptuously, "Mr. Dawson, what are you trying to achieve here?"As she spoke, she felt the grip around her waist tighten, likely due to Luke Huxley's embarrassment at her words. However, Dexie remained unfazed. Her smile widened as she remarked, "The way you're behaving right now is quite... unpleasant!" Her words carried a weight that seemed to crush him. He was reluctant to acknowledge her words as they struck a chord with the unresolved issues in his heart. A few days earlier, she had signed the papers as he had requested, while he had been unwilling to do the same. The question lingered in Luke Huxley's mind why he had hesitated. When his grandfather had pressured him to marry Dexie for her family's inheritance, he had harbored deep resentment towards her. He failed to see that she was merely a pawn in the Hansley family's scheme to manipulate him through his grandfather's threats. Luke Huxley was prepared to rel

The one who tried to fight for a position with him was his uncle—not his bastard son, but his illegitimate son, his grandfather. How could an illegitimate son take something that belonged to him?In the end, Luke Huxley married Dexie as his grandfather wished.To Luke Huxley, it didn't matter who she married, as long as he appeased his grandfather.He had gotten what he wanted from the family last year. As for Dexie, he continued to ignore her.Now that her grandfather had passed away, he finally filed the divorce agreement, which she had been planning since she got married.However, he didn't expect Dexie to stop messing with him and agree to a divorce so decisively.What was even more unexpected was that his heart was a mess when she signed the papers.Dexie noticed that she kept a straight face and said nothing. While he was lost in thought about her, she quickly withdrew from his arms.She straightened her slightly wrinkled shirt and calmed down. I hope you can sign those papers as

Marilyn repeatedly advised Dexie to divorce Luke Huxley, whom she considered a failure and a bastard. Just mention of his name made her mutter expletives. Dexie took the vodka from Marilyn with a slight smile and brought it to her lips, causing her to cough from the burning sensation. She felt sick and nauseous, with a strange feeling in her throat, fearing she might vomit. "Dexie, how can you drink such strong vodka in one go?" Marilyn asked, concerned as Dexie's cheeks turned bright red. Marilyn rushed to pat her on the back. "How do you feel? Are you okay?" After recovering from the shock, Dexie reassured Marilyn, "It's okay. I was just thirsty and drank too fast." She looked away, hiding the pain in her eyes, then poured herself a glass of vodka before slowly responding to Marilyn's question. "Honestly, I realized a long time ago that he doesn't love me. He hates me. It's fair..." Dexie paused, with a self-deprecating expression, and added, "I'm not ready to give up, you know.

Just at this moment, Simon's cell phone rang. He took it out and looked. Taking one look at Marilyn, he stood up, walked to a corner, and picked up the call. "Luke Huxley?" "Simon, where are you?" Luke Huxley's voice came from the other end of the phone. "I'm at the Woodlands Clubhouse with Marilyn," Simon replied. "I'm coming over. Have a drink with me," Luke Huxley said. Simon was speechless.He turned around and looked at Marilyn, thinking to himself, "Luke Huxley will suffer once more. Marilyn won't let him off the hook easily." However, he did not convey this to Luke Huxley. "Okay." After hanging up the phone, Simon returned to his seat and sat down. Marilyn looked at him questioningly. "Who was that?" Waving the mobile phone in her hands, Simon replied, "Luke Huxley." Marilyn frowned at the mention of Luke Huxley's name. "Why did he call you?" She narrowed her eyes at Simon, a hint of warning in her voice as she continued, "Don't get too close to him. I'll teach you a

After the doctor left, Luke Huxley was still sullen. Dexie, who was drunk, didn't utter a word. Leaning silently into Luke Huxley's arms, she moved her lips as if whispering something. Luke Huxley stood up from the couch with Dexie in his arms. "I'll take her back first," he said. Simon raised an eyebrow curiously, "Didn't you come here to drink with me?" His words made Simon pause. He held Dexie's hand a little tighter. "Maybe some other day," he said, pretending to leave. "Where are you taking Dexie?" Marilyn interjected, "You don't have a valid reason to do so. You're harassing her, don't you realize?" Luke Huxley was taken aback. He took a few deep breaths to compose himself. "Marilyn, Dexie Hansley is my wife," he stated firmly, feeling entitled to take Dexie home. If someone else had said that to him, he would have made them suffer. "Wow! Now you admit she is your wife, huh?" Marilyn rolled her eyes. "I heard from Dexie that she was divorcing you. She signed the papers."

Luke Huxley's Adam's apple kept bobbing up and down as he tried to suppress the warm feeling in his abdomen."Tell me, am I smart?" Dexie was like a stubborn child, determined to receive praise.When she was drunk, Luke Huxley had never seen her in such a state. Though she wasn't hysterical, it was harder for him to resist her.He felt like she was on the verge of losing her sanity, but he had to cooperate and convince her. Pinching the space between her eyebrows."Smart, very smart."As expected, Dexie was satisfied and flashed him a beautiful smile.At that moment, Winston entered with hangover tea and paused when he saw the intimate scene between the couple. Did he walk in at the wrong time? Dexie hesitated for a moment until Luke Huxley calmly took her hand."Bring it," she cleared her throat and said."It's okay," Winston approached and noticed Dexie's drunken state. She must have been confused and drunk when she hugged Luke Huxley. Winston felt a pang of regret.“Mr. Dawson, she

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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 319: Danny is Injured
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 317: In Search of Danny
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,
