Chapter 145: Find That Woman Now!

2024-07-30 10:00:53Dexie’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

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

Luke noticed the change in Number One's expression and was puzzled when he asked with a slight frown on his face, "What do you mean?""Boss, if Miss Hansley were to feed Little Master his medication, everything would probably be fine, right?" Number One ventured to vocalize his thoughts."How is the investigation into last night's events going?" Luke Huxley changed the subject."It was the person from the old residence who drugged you," Number One replied while avoiding the crux of the question."What about that woman last night? Have you found out anything about her?" Luke Huxley asked coldly.Certainly, that girl was one of a kind for having the guts to break into his room."We can't find out anything. Boss, please give us some time. That was really an accident. We don't have many leads or clues," Number One responded.Last night, nothing was out of the ordinary in the mansion. The only strange thing was that an innumerable bodyguard suddenly resigned. He had already sent men to lo

As he looked through the screen just before, he simply assumed that LittleShrimp had accepted her. That the two could play together in silence was already shocking enough for him. He hadn't paid attention to the other details."Little Shrimp, put on your coat. Dad will take you somewhere!" Luke stood up and pulled Little Shrimp's hand to get him up."Mm?" Little Shrimp raised his head in confusion. Luke said nothing more. He bent down and lifted Little Shrimp. As they walked out, he covered him with a coat.At the door, the secretary and number one stepped forward to attend to them. "Boss, do you want to go home?""I'll take Little Shrimp somewhere. Anna Gray, please visit the Hansley family. I need your help with something." Luke Huxley continued walking towards the elevator as he gave orders.Paloma had been busy sorting out her affairs all afternoon, causing her complexion to considerably pale. As she prepared to enter the Hansley residence, her phone suddenly rang."Hello, Dr. Qu

This matter was troublesome.“Are they in the restaurant right now?” Dexie calmed down and asked.This batch of lunchboxes could not be returned. They would have to resolve it in some other way.“Yes, they are in the restaurant,” Eric quickly said, “If this matter is not resolved, I’m afraid of reporters will find out, and then it will be even worse for us.”“I know. Keep them occupied, and I’ll come soon.” Dexie had not yet thought of a solution. The only way to solve this was to buy them new ones. However, if the other party refused, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.When she thought about this, Dexie frowned and had a headache.What can be done about it?For now, they could only take it one step at a time and try to stall. After all, the boxes were in their hands, and it was impossible to return them. So, they would have to resolve it in another way. As for Dexie, she certainly was not willing to return them.Dexie told the driver to leave quickly. When she arrived at the resta

The burning red roses were arranged in the shape of a large heart that was beautiful beyond words. Dexie instantly understood why Luke had asked her to come. It turned out to be a surprise for her."Wow, what beautiful flowers. Dad, did you give them to Mom?" Danny's voice came from somewhere, so Dexie turned around and saw both Danny and Luke standing behind her, smiling at her.Dexie turned to look at Luke and laughed when she said, "How can you continue to act so frivolous when you are the president of the Huxley Group?"Although she said this, she felt extremely happy.Luke approached Dexie and couldn't help but grab her waist with a smile on his face. He said, "As long as this frivolous trick can make my wife happy, it's worth it."Dexie couldn't refute a single word he said, so she smiled and nodded as she said, "Okay, you're right."Only then did Luke smile and ask Dexie, "Do you like it?"Dexie nodded and said, "Yes, I like it."Which woman wouldn't like flowers? Which woman w

He threw the remote control he had in his hand at the television, which was hanging on the wall. It made a loud noise when he threw it, and the television wobbled a bit as if it were about to fall at any moment.On one hand, Weston's face was expressionless. He wore a mask, so he could have had an expression on his face, but it couldn't be seen.He walked towards the television and reached out to gently hold it before turning his head to look at Zoey and said in a deep voice, "What's your plan?""I underestimated this woman," Zoey breathed twice to calm herself down before saying, "I can't believe she came up with an idea so quickly, but why do those lunch boxes being sterilized look so familiar?"Weston's voice showed slight fluctuations as he said, "Those were the ones, Mrs. Jensen prepared to donate to the children at the orphanage last time. She bought more than necessary and intended to return them.""In that case, how did they end up in her hands?" Zoey's eyes were cold, and her

In this kind of situation, William’s Fast Food would make headlines regardless of the news, so it was a good deal for them, and they could also take advantage of this opportunity to promote the restaurant.A reporter pushed through to ask Dexie, “Miss Hansley, you’re not deliberately promoting things to get in the headlines, are you?”Upon hearing this, Dexie was not offended but simply smiled at the reporter in the crowd and chuckled as she said, “You probably haven’t worked in any other industry, let alone the food industry, have you? Everyone will make headlines, but no one will use this method to do so. Wouldn’t that be counterproductive? You’re joking, but that joke isn’t funny.”After Dexie said this, the reporters around looked at the reporter strangely, and the reporter also seemed to realize she was out of place and did not speak again.Seeing this, Dexie said, “Alright, everyone, please come in. If you want to take photos of something, do so, and if you have questions, ask.

“Dexie, what’s the point of ordering a cabinet disinfection machine now?”Eric was confused and said, “There are already several units in the store.”“That’s not enough. By the way, instruct the staff to go to the store and remove all the cabinets from the cabinet machine so they don’t take up space. The kitchen will continue to operate as usual today. There’s no need to be deliberate, but everyone should be careful not to make the slightest mistake. Later, there may be reporters coming in to take photos. No one has to do anything consciously, just follow the usual routine,” Dexie told Eric.“Dexie, what do you want to do?” Eric was confused. He had never experienced this kind of situation before, and it was such a big spectacle that he was now a little scared.Dexie’s voice sounded extraordinarily calm and serene as she said, “Eric, I have already thought of a solution, so don’t be anxious and do as I say. I will communicate with you later.”“Have you already figured out what to do?”

“Did you just find out?” Dexie asked with a gossipy expression.Luke nodded and said, “Yes, I just found out, so I’m telling you.”Dexie was very puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, she said, “With this evidence, Ava will be convicted in front of your father in the future and directly expelled from the Huxley family. Without her interference, your father would probably not have me a hard time so often in the future.”“Although my father doesn’t agree with this marriage, if she were an understanding person and advised my father, our relationship wouldn’t be so bad.” Luke’s tone of voice cooled.“So when are you going to tell your father?” Dexie asked.Luke sighed and told Dexie, “Not yet. Now is not the time. Regarding the previous maritime incident and someone who bought internal shares of the Huxley family, she and my uncle were the ones who conspired and joined forces to cooperate with the York family.”So that’s how it was.Dexie nodded and said to Luke, “What about...

As he spoke, he approached Dexie and once again tapped her cheek twice. The meaning couldn’t be more obvious.He had to kiss her. Dexie’s mouth pouted as she looked indignantly at Luke, then reluctantly moved and gave him a peck on the cheek while saying, “You can say it now, right?”Luke said with a serious face, “I feel like there wasn’t enough sincerity.” Luke seemed quite serious.Upon hearing this, Dexie snorted and said, “You’re playing with me.”Luke laughed and said, “Letting my wife kiss me is not a joke, right?”Dexie was defenseless and said, “So, what do you want?”Luke calmly said, “Just a kiss on the lips.”Upon hearing this, Dexie blushed as she said, “Luke, you, you... rascal...”However, Luke acted pitifully as he said, “God, to ask for a kiss from my wife, I even have to use this kind of trick. Don’t you think I’m pitiful?”When he said that, he looked at Dexie with a pitiful expression, and his eyes were filled with complaints, as if Dexie had done something unforgi

Dexie nodded as she looked at the distress and anguish in Sabrina’s eyes, and couldn’t help but force a smile when she said to Sabrina, “I never expected that one day, meeting my mother would also require cunning.”Sabrina smiled bitterly, her tone becoming helpless and sad as she told Dexie, “Dexie, hold on a little longer. Just... you can’t reveal this matter to anyone now, for your safety. Your restaurant also has good business, so I’m afraid it could cause trouble, so you must be more careful.”Dexie smiled and said, “There’s nothing to be aggrieved about when I can see mom. I’m thrilled, and I won’t tell anyone yet. Mom, be careful when you go back alone and don’t expose yourself.”After Dexie finished speaking, she wiped Sabrina’s tears and took out her makeup cushion, asking, “Do you mind if I use this to fix mom’s makeup?” Sabrina quickly took Dexie’s hand and said, “Silly girl, why would mom mind?”Dexie opened the cushion, dabbed away Sabrina’s tear marks, before smiling an

Sabrina's voice was sad and relieved, making Dexie also overwhelmed with emotion. She first stiffened for a moment, then hugged Sabrina tighter and whispered, "Mom, I also thought I would never find my biological mother again, but I never thought it would be you. Mom..."As if she had been waiting for a long time, as if she had been waiting for a century, Dexie couldn't help but scream repeatedly.Sabrina, who looked so much like her, was her mother...Sherry also wiped her tears aside and said, "Look at us, this is a joyful occasion, so why are we crying? It wouldn't be good for people to see us when we go out later! Miss Dexie and Mrs. Jensen are both kind-hearted people, so you two deserve to reunite. I finally achieved something this time."If it weren't for Sherry's words this time, no one would have remembered this matter. She didn't want to take credit for it, but she was trying to joke and lighten the mood so that mother and daughter wouldn't continue crying without thinking o
