Chapter 142
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 144: A Brand-new Life
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 145: Find That Woman Now!
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 146: They Felt a Sense of Familiarity
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 147: Dexie's Compassion and Empathy
She was lovely and neat, dressed in a modest outfit. While she wasn't a dazzling beauty, she exuded very comforting vibes.She bore a striking resemblance to the girl from the previous night. The room was too dark, and he could only discern a vague silhouette.After the encounter, she quickly disappeared.Shaking his head to dispel these thoughts and curb his imagination, he refocused on the monitor screen.Dexie sat beside the boy on the floor, recalling what Jessebelle had mentioned. The CEO of Huxley Group was seeking an experienced caregiver for his five-year-old son, offering a monthly salary of fifteen thousand dollars. The child had severe autism, making it challenging for him to connect with others. Luke, the CEO, was too busy to care for the child alone, which might explain the children's playroom next to his office.Despite his busy schedule, the man devoted considerable attention and care to the child, a fact not immediately clear from his appearance.Unconsciously, the ima

Dexie took the brick away from the boy and then casually removed the instruction manual from his hand, placing it between them. The boy frowned but didn’t resist. Dexie was delighted with this development and smiled as she said, “Let’s play together.”The boy, momentarily paralyzed, then nodded in agreement.Dexie had never studied child psychology, so she thought little about what the boy’s actions implied. She simply saw it as a normal reaction. The two then focused on assembling the structure.Before they knew it, the sky had darkened. The two, one older and one younger, remained in the room, putting the model together. Halfway through, they drank some water and ate some snacks that Dexie had taken from the room’s mini-fridge. Both were so absorbed that they lost track of time.Dexie exhaled a breath of relief as they successfully assembled the last component. She looked at the boy and chuckled, saying, “Wonderful! We finally finished assembling it.” She stretched her shoulders

“Paloma, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense," Dexie said firmly.When she realized the other end had gone silent, she frowned and continued speaking. Paloma's behavior was becoming increasingly ridiculous. The most urgent matter now was to open that door and escape as soon as possible."Stop acting. Just a moment ago, your wonderful friend Jessebelle called Oswin. Stop clinging to him, Dexie. Let me tell you, our parents have already decided on our engagement. We will be together soon. You don't stand a chance anymore," Paloma boasted over the phone.Dexie was frozen. They were getting engaged. Her father and mother were desperate. They were making decisions for her. Were they somehow depriving Dexie of free will or choice?It was true. The Hansley family needed funds to pay off their debt. Paloma, her older sister, was the only remaining candidate, and they needed to connect to the Blake family through marriage. However, would Oswin agree to that?When she remembered the

Dexie took a step back and swallowed a gulp of saliva. She smiled bitterly as she said, "I... Honestly, I have no intention of accepting this job. Honestly, I was just...""You were just planning to temporarily substitute for your friend, right?" Luke's expression darkened slightly as he looked at Dexie coldly.Dexie nodded. "Yes, I know nothing about child psychology or autism...""I don't like it when people reject my offers," Luke announced coldly."But why me? Mr. Huxley, you are probably someone who doesn't lack money. You wouldn't have trouble hiring someone specializing in childcare. I'm not doing this because I can't differentiate between right and wrong, or because I'm unwilling. It's just... I'm afraid I won't do well."Dexie, feeling helpless, explained her position to Luke. She didn't dare say too much either. After all, rumors said Luke was a ruthless and heartless person. She was just the adopted daughter of the insignificant Hansley family. She couldn't afford to offend
