Luke saw Dexie enter Hansley’ villa. After that, he took out his phone and made a call.“Gavin, how’s it going?” Luke’s voice turned icy. There was no trace of warmth compared to how he had spoken to Dexie earlier.“Boss, there is no doubt about Miss Hansley’ identity. There is not much to report. However, she has a marriage arrangement with Mr. Blake.” Gavin paused for a moment before continuing, "However, he and his sister Paloma have already...”After hearing this, Luke’s lips curled into a wintry smile.“Understood. However, if any of the Hansley family members intimidate her, or if that guy from the Blake family intimidates her, don’t let them off easily.”“Understood.”After ending the call, Luke fell into deep contemplation. Once he saw Dexie’s birthmark, he instantly recognized her. Although she was already engaged, Oswin was certainly not her match.He couldn’t let her find out what happened that night. Therefore, he wanted her to move to Riverside Avenue and become Little Sh
"Father, just accept her demands. After all, the Hansley family will belong to both of us in the future. Sooner or later, we will receive the shares, so it will be the same either way." Paloma suddenly stepped forward to speak to Dario. She sounded deadly serious.Dexie was a little surprised as she watched from the side.Paloma had suddenly become so generous. No matter how she looked at things, something seemed strange. What was she thinking?"Elie." Dario frowned as he addressed Paloma by her name. His voice sounded puzzled."Dad, it was me who offended Dexie. I was wrong. Let these shares be our compensation for her. Without Dexie, our family would still be in ruins even if I married Oswin." Paloma tried to reach a compromise.Dexie was even more puzzled. What was going on with Paloma?"Then it's okay." Dario seemed to have understood Paloma's intentions. He nodded in agreement.Paloma nodded. She looked meekly at Dexie, as if Dexie were a villain who was wicked beyond redemption.
Luke’s expression darkened. He looked at Gavin and asked, “Who is here?”“It’s the old man and his wife. Both came,” Gavin explained hastily.Luke coldly said, “Since they are the visitors, they should be the ones to leave.”After saying this, he didn’t even wait for Gavin to react. He turned around and started the car before zooming off.Luke entered the garage and parked the car. He got ready to get out, but soon realized that Dexie refused to move from her seat.He walked to the other side of the car. When he noticed that Dexie still refused to come out, he frowned and asked puzzled, “Hmm? Why aren’t you coming out?”Dexie shook her head and smiled bitterly as she said, “If it’s not convenient, why don’t I move another day?”Luke shook his head. He replied with a ser
“My mother is dead. These slippers were not bought for her either,” Luke said. He completely ignored the two guests and looked at Dexie as he said, “Go ahead.”Dexie’s curiosity was instantly piqued, and her heart raced. Were those slippers specially reserved for her? If she wasn’t mistaken, these people were probably Luke’s father and stepmother.His stepmother was very young, with a radiant face. She was probably at least 20 years younger than his father! According to rumors, Luke’s stepmother had left her ex-husband to marry into this wealthy family. Unscrupulously, she married a man 20 years older than her. However, judging by Luke’s attitude towards her, she probably had little status in this family and was likely in a rather miserable state. But has she resigned from her current position?“Do you always casually bring home random and insignificant people?&rdqu
“Fold it,” Luke said coldly. Gavin was stunned.Luke continued coldly, “Without my permission, no one can enter the Huxley residence.”After saying this, he waved his hand mercilessly and pushed Victor’s hand away as he approached. He seemed completely unconcerned about the whole matter. “Understood,” Gavin realized he shouldn’t have allowed an older adult man and his wife to enter. He had been in such a difficult position.At that moment, the butler approached and asked, “Mr. Huxley... Will Miss Hansley sleep upstairs or downstairs?”The servants occupied the lower floor. The butler had to confirm her accommodations. “Upstairs. She will sleep in my room,” Luke replied firmly.Dexie was completely perplexed. She had already clarified that she only worked as a therapist. What was this man thinking?
Dexie was unaware of the strange looks she was receiving from everyone. She took Little Master to the dining room and gave him his medicine. Then, she gave him half a glass of water. Her previous doubts had completely dissipated. Astonishment replaced this and wonder all around. How was this possible? He had finished all the medicine without vomiting. He even had a smile on his face.Dexie returned to the kitchen. Naturally, Luke didn’t need to tell the maids to help her. The maid, who had been carrying Little Master a while ago, was the most frightened. There was even a trace of jealousy in her eyes. Luke’s stepmother noticed this. In the kitchen, Dexie started preparing some pasta. Since she only needed to prepare a portion for Little Shrimp, it was finished in no time. She mixed the tomato sauce and topped it with some parsley. The dish looked extremely delicious.“Have some pasta, okay?” Dexie smiled at Litt
"The designated delivery person for her restaurant was on leave. We do not know how Paloma deceived Miss Hansley, but she ended up delivering the wine herself. According to her original plan, she probably intended for Miss Hansley to leave the Huxley residence before getting the bodyguard... But who would have known that Miss Hansley would get lost on her way out? Against all expectations, she entered your room and stumbled upon you casually.Gavin paused for a moment. He continued with some difficulty: "I hired that bodyguard less than a year ago. His skill level was acceptable, and he seemed quite clever. Originally, he was supposed to undergo external training for two years before joining our internal ranks. However, no one expected him to commit such a serious crime. Not only did he accept Madame's bribe to drug her wine, but he also accepted money from Miss Hansley. He was planning... to ruin Miss Hansley's innocence."“Is that true?" Luke asked, his voice extremely cold, seeming
A member of the Blake family informed Oswin’s parents that Dexie was legally adopted and that her biological status didn’t matter. According to the law, she can inherit the family since she was raised there. With the sudden increase in her shares, she now has a significant advantage over me in case of a dispute. She has the backing of the Huxley family, further increasing her chances.“Mom, what should I do?” Paloma cried, wiping her tears and watching Lily’s reaction.Lily’s expression darkened immediately. She turned to Paloma and asked in a haughty tone, “How did the Blake family handle this situation?” Only their family of four was aware of these details.“I’m not sure how they found out. This is all I know,” Paloma replied sadly.“Mother, I hesitated to tell you because I knew it would upset you. But this has implications for the future of the Hansley family.”“Did Dexie disclose this information to them?” Lily inquired with a furrowed brow, concluding some thought.Paloma’s exp
