The bulging veins on the back of her hand vividly reflected her internal emotions.
"Mrs. Dawson has passed away, sir." At Johnston University, Warry Williams respectfully introduced himself to a man sitting silently in a Bentley parked on the side of the road.Welden knew that Luke Huxley was a prominent figure in high places. He was a work addict who prioritized time over life, and he wouldn't spend a minute on anything other than work unless it was extremely important.However, he became a changed man after his divorce, transforming into a completely different person.Luke Huxley would make excuses to be close to his ex-wife, and her repeated rejections did not deter him. When he found out she was in trouble, he was more concerned than anyone and vowed to do everything to avenge the wrongdoers.Recently, Luke Huxley gathered evidence about Rodel and even took time off work to warn him. He then went to Johnston University to check on“Am I the only one who noticed the handsome guy in the bottom left corner?""Yes, I noticed him, too. Is he on set with the film's cast? He looks like a newcomer! I haven't seen him before."The rest of the chat group quickly shifted their focus to the handsome man in the video. They soon noticed that he kept his eyes fixed on Dexie throughout the video.Luke Huxley was a man who always attracted attention wherever he went because of his good looks. He also exuded an irresistible aura of charm and confidence, making him the center of attention.Luke Huxley captivated Narda as she watched him on her cell phone. She completely understood the endless admiration and compliments in the group chat.“She was proud to be his girlfriend, and even though she was an old one, she couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, another message popped up in the chat box. Did you notice that the handsome guy is looking at Professor Hansley?""Hmm, now that
Although the photo did not depict Narda and Luke Huxley in an intimate relationship, it did show that they knew each other well. Narda's deceptive, fake love story led everyone to assume that Luke Huxley was her boyfriend upon seeing the photo. Sherly also pondered this thought and eventually shared what she had witnessed."Actually, I saw your boyfriend holding Professor Hansley's hand and saying something," Sherly disclosed.He couldn't hear him because he was far away, but I think the relationship between them is not simple. The way she looked at Professor Hansley was full of affection.Sherly tried to imply it subtly, but everyone realized what she was trying to convey. The group chat fell silent, creating an awkward atmosphere.Narda's smile froze on her face, and then her expression turned grim.Did Luke Huxley go to Johnston University to meet Dexie? Even Sherly, a stranger, could sense Luke Huxley's affection for Dexie. Did it mea
Luke Huxley remained silent."Have you finished talking to her?""No, not yet."Beep! Beep! Beep!Luke Huxley abruptly ended the call with Sam.Every time Sam mentioned Dexie, Luke felt a pang of discomfort as he referred to her as his ex-wife. "That really struck a nerve. Aside from that, Sam even admitted that he had no right to compete."He couldn't shake the suspicion that his sister had sent Sam to taunt him.After hanging up, Luke felt a tightness in his chest, growing more uneasy.Luke thought of Roy, whom Sam had mentioned, and remembered the genuine smile on Dexie's face when she saw him earlier that day. It was a natural smile.Roy even stepped out of the car to help Dexie with her seatbelt. If only Luke could see inside the car, he might have guessed what was happening.Roy's gesture of assisting Dexie with her seatbelt seemed intimate enough to trigger Luke's jealousy. The jealousy and bitterness consumed him, making him
Luke Huxley was nowhere in sight as the city prepared to go to sleep. She waited and waited. When she grew tired of waiting, she would fall asleep. However, even after she woke up, he still hadn't come home. Day after day, she waited, but in the end, all she received was a divorce settlement from him. Even though all these events had passed, she could still vividly recall them whenever she found herself alone.The two people she trusted the most had ruthlessly betrayed her. One of them was her father. In her previous life, she had believed he would always support her unconditionally, but he wanted to harm her for having an illegitimate child.The other was the man she thought she could love for a lifetime, without any regrets. However, he despised her so much that he didn't even acknowledge her when she was on the brink of death. His last act of kindness was to pick up her lifeless body. A sudden chill ran down her spine as she curled up in a corner of the co
“Last night, I dreamt that you were in a car accident, and you left me... You left me forever."Even though it was just a dream, it had never felt so real to Luke Huxley before. It was as if the scene had unfolded before his eyes. When he thinks about it now, the stabbing pain in his heart still feels intense.His voice shook as he spoke. "I wanted to look for you, but I searched all night and couldn't find you."Thank God, thank God. It's just a dream."A hot tear rolled down the corner of his eye, and he hugged Dexie even tighter.Dexie's entire body tensed when she heard Luke Huxley say, "I dreamed you were in a car accident." Her mind flooded with memories of the moments before her death, causing her to freeze in place. She also forgot to separate herself from Luke Huxley.Dexie finally felt suffocated from not being able to breathe, but when she snapped back to reality, she saw that Luke Huxley wa
She didn't know why Luke Huxley had done that. Was it because of the dream he had?He said that he had dreamed that she had died in a car accident, so he ran to her at midnight to find her, without worrying about his own health. Dexie still didn't believe that Luke Huxley really had feelings for her at this point in her life, so her reactions were drastically different from her past life.Instead of not believing it, she didn't dare to believe it.How could someone who had fought in darkness dare to look at the light of hope?Dexie stood next to Luke Huxley's bed and stared into his face for a long time. She then raised her foot to leave, but the moment she turned around, a potent force grabbed her hand.“Don't go, honey. Please don't leave. We've been together for two years. Why are you really going to leave me, dear?" Dexie pleaded, looking at Luke Huxley's tightly gripped hand. She raised her head and met Luke Huxley's pa
Marilyn didn't mince her words. Initially, she refrained from taking Narda away because she had traveled a long way to visit Luke Huxley. However, now she was adamant about not leaving Narda to act insincerely in front of Luke Huxley.Narda's expression hardened at Marilyn's response. She then defended herself weakly, "Marilyn, that's not what I meant. I'm simply concerned about Luke Huxley."What if we don't hurry? Miss Hansley leaves, and something happens to Luke Huxley.""What could happen to him? Do you think the nurses here are neglecting their duties?" Marilyn scoffed, questioning Narda's motives. "I think you just want to stir up trouble," she added.Narda's eyes welled up at Marilyn's remarks. "Marilyn, have I ever offended you? Why do you have to think of me like that?" She then looked pleadingly at Luke Huxley, hoping he would come to her defense. However, he appeared lost in his own world, savoring the unappetizing toast as if it w
Narda's cousin, Jean Tisdon, lived closer, and Luke Huxley was her favorite brother, so naturally, he visited the Tisdon family often.At this time, their servants attended to Luke Huxley and Marilyn. Luke Huxley's mother was not in good health and was resting in another mansion, while his father was entirely focused on the company, rarely paying attention to the daily lives of his children.In contrast, old Mrs. Tisdon was very kind to him. Every time he visited the Tisdon family, old Mrs. Tisdon cooked his favorite food and took care of him as if he were her grandson.Narda, a year younger than him, often stayed next to old Mrs. Tisdon, and they naturally grew up together.Old Mrs. Tisdon would joke that she would get Narda married to him when they grew up.Luke Huxley cared little about relationships at the time; he just keptlistening, so he subconsciously thought he would marry Narda early on.
