Roxane continued, "He was talking."
"It's true that I was the one who recorded you in class. I wanted to send it to dad so he could see that you were teaching at Johnston University, but I didn't know it would end up causing so much trouble. Dexie, I'm so sorry. I really didn't want to hurt you on purpose. Please forgive me."
Roxane's words made her seem very innocent, as if the whole incident had nothing to do with her. She shifted all the responsibility to Rodel.
To protect herself and still appear fair, Roxane blamed her own father and made him look worse than he already did.
Dexie looked into Roxane's slightly red eyes, laughed, and addressed Roxane in front of the entire class, "Would you sell out your own father just like that? Aren't you afraid that he would disown you if he knew the whole truth?"
Dexie was hinting at a smile on her face, leaving everyone puzzled about her intentions. Her words made Roxane's heart skip a beat.
Dexie's
Roxane pointed furiously at Dexie's calm, smiling face; her vision blurred as her body trembled as if she were about to fall.The next second, Roxane felt Dexie give her a tremendous tug, bringing Roxane right in front of her.Roxane watched Dexie lean close to her ear and speak with a voice that only the two of them could hear."Regardless of what you want from me, I will tell you three words. It will never happen."Dexie abandoned her nihilistic attitude immediately after speaking, leaving only a sense of coldness in her wake.Roxane had not spent a year at Johnston University cultivating her image as a weak and delicate girl at all. Despite facing a beating the day before, Roxane's current state would lead any guy to believe Dexie was being unduly harsh with her.As the saying goes, simping too hard simply won't do, as it will make you lose everything.However, before they lost everything, they would remain simple-minded.Ev
Dexie looked down, pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly came to a realization. Her precious, brief life was probably the only thing that could make someone as vain as Roxane give up her dignity and beg Dexie.Dexie's eyes twitched. She immediately understood why Roxane had humiliated her the day before, but she still chose to come to school and apologize so humbly.It was all thanks to Dr. Khlynt. Once she realized this, Dexie paid no more attention to Roxane.The Domino family could never be the center of attention, so they couldn't manipulate Dexie or gain anything from her.Dexie's birthday was still half a month away. Rodel Domino's obsession with obtaining Dexie would be even more intense after his humiliation the previous day.Something will surely happen in the next two weeks. All Dexie had to do was wait.As Dexie silently made calculations on her way back to the Teaching and Research Building, she encount
Dexie's smile wavered slightly, showing a hint of impatience."First, I am not an employee of Life Beneficial Technologies, so I cannot access their laboratories whenever I want. Even if I worked there, I wouldn't teach you. This has nothing to do with whether I like you. Can you understand if I explain it this way?"Narda remained silent for a moment, then sighed. Narda looked at Dexie, saying nothing for a moment, then sighed."Do you really dislike me because of Luke Huxley?" she asked.Dexie met Narda's gaze, feeling a sense of frustration. She had realized that Narda's interactions with her were not genuine; they were merely attempts to flaunt Luke Huxley and provoke jealousy.Narda's intention was to see Dexie upset and envious, but Dexie did not provide her with satisfaction. This realization left Narda feeling panicked, prompting her to abandon the pretense.Narda's actions stemmed from her belief that Luke Hu
As she spoke, Dexie remained calm the entire time, and her coldness easily shattered Narda's arrogance. In fact, behind Narda's haughty attitude was a pathetic emptiness. Soon, Narda could no longer contain her anger, and her face twisted in frustration. She shook violently."How dare you compare Luke Huxley to a toilet?""Wow! Not bad. Her language skills have already improved in such a short time."“I'm an excellent teacher, right? So, you also understand that you represent the worm in the metaphor, correct? You and Luke Huxley are. "You don't have to worry about anything, because no one can steal it from you."After finishing the last sentence, Dexie let out a big smile and walked away. Narda stared at her in disbelief."Dexie Hansley!"Through gritted teeth, Narda muttered softly.Narda's plan called for her to confront Dexie and celebrate her victory. She anticipated Dexie to be inconsolable and retreat from the scene in te
One month later....“What is this, Attorney Aragon?” Dexie Hansley inquired of her ex-husband’s lawyer, her eyes devoid of emotion.He suddenly appeared at Casa Cazzy after two years.“I thought the two of us had already agreed to stay out of each other’s business, and that everything was over. It’s been two years since I received the annulment papers.”“I know, Ms. Hansley. But my client needs you,” said the old man, his voice trembling with stress. It seemed like he was desperate to have a decent conversation with her."“Need me?” She sarcastically chuckled and smirked.“Luke Lee’s family needs your help. Your ex-husband, Sir Luke, had an accident and only remembers you. They want you to help him remember everything.”The lawyer’s words shook her to the core. The thought of seeing the man who had crushed her spirit once again was chilling enough, let alone having to be with him and help him.Luke Lee is the man she despises the most. He had promised her a lifetime of love, but inste
Two years later, an accident caused Dexie to forget her past. A roller coaster of events and surprising secrets were revealed. Her first year was too hurtful, but a year later, things became lighter, and she faced it with a new version of Dexie.One day, Dexie realized her hands were tied to the bed frame. Despite her struggles, the rope wound around her wrists tightened."Arghh..." she groaned and blinked as she tried to adjust to her dark surroundings. Then, she examined the surrounding area.An imposing silhouette stood at the foot of the bed, staring at her. The sparse points of light in the room seemed to converge within his eyes."Who are you? What do you plan to do?" Dexie asked cautiously, doing her best to suppress the fear and dread that gripped her heart."Since you are already here, what's the point of pretending ignorance?" said the man, his voice low and hoarse.In the darkness, she couldn't distinguish his appearance. She could only feel his icy eyes scanning over her
Dexie’s complexion paled. She was afraid to tell them everything she wanted to say. She could only look directly at Paloma.How should she explain this?Should she file a police report?Her only fear was that her biased father would assume that she had intentionally disrespected her own body. She feared a few tears and some words from Paloma would be enough to convince her father otherwise.Dario’s complexion turned even more unpleasant in response to Dexie’s silence. Paloma, who had been on her deathbed a few moments ago, struggled to sit up and stood up. She ignored Jocelyn’s gestures to lie back down and stood in front of Dexie. “Dad, you, you... cough, cough... You shouldn’t hit Dexie. She wasn’t messing around.”“Definitely not... not... playing with a man,” she mumbled with fear and trepidation.Dexie was speechless.Paloma’s performance was certainly top-no
If there was anyone who still cared about her, it was Jocelyn, the maternal figure who had raised her. But based on her reaction, Dexie concluded that, despite Jocelyn rearing her, she was nothing compared to the daughter Jocelyn had given birth to. She merely presented Jocelyn with a dilemma. "If that's the case, Dexie, I've got a job interview. You can follow it. Once done, I will help you with your job hunt. I am confident that many organizations will want to hire you based only on your abilities. Previously, you had to appear foolish to accommodate Paloma. You've really suffered," Jessebelle replied. As she spoke, she assisted Dexie in cleaning up. They covered up all her injuries and scars before leaving. A crowd of young women filled the reception area outside the CEO's office on the top floor of the Huxley Conglomerate Towers, each of whom was a job candidate. "Dexie, if they call me by name later, please help me. I can't hold it any longer," Jessebelle squeezed her abdomen
