2024-08-07 10:00:58Luke’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

After leaving the bathroom, she chose a black slip from the wardrobe. Then, she picked an ordinary-looking white padded coat to cover herself and paired it with a pair of black boots. She didn't wear any accessories. Her makeup was done simply. She had brought no belongings. However, she still needed to change her outfit. She avoided choosing items that looked expensive.She applied a thin layer of makeup before saying goodbye, grabbing a gray bag. As she walked out of the living room, she saw a dark silhouette standing under the pavilion in the courtyard. In response to the echo of her footsteps, the dark silhouette turned to look in her direction.She had just come out of a bright room and couldn't see the other party clearly. She could only vaguely make out a tall silhouette. She didn't know why, but their shadow exuded a dominant and oppressive aura. It felt very familiar and made her feel like prey being hunted. Her heart beat involuntarily."Are you planning to run away?" The da

After entering Black Bar, Paloma invited Dexie, who had been waiting for her at the entrance.Luke remained seated inside the sports car. He furrowed his brow and seemed a little annoyed.“Hey, Luke, why are you here?” shouted the calm and pleasant voice of a man.Before Luke could roll up the car windows, the owner of the voice approached and blocked them. He smiled and said, “It’s really you. What a rare sight. Why don’t you come in and sit down?”The owner of the voice was Luke’s good friend, Jasper Davies. He had a handsome face that women loved. He was also the sole owner of Black Bar.“Back off.” Luke pushed him without reservation. He prepared to close the windows.“You drove all the way here. Don’t be in such a hurry to leave.” Jasper smiled shamelessly. As he smiled, his dimples appeared. He really looked more handsome than most girls.He raised his eyebrows as he looked inside and said, “The girl who just entered isn’t bad, huh? Is she your woman?”Luke remained silent.“Dam

“Oh? How are you going to make things difficult for me?” Dexie mocked.“You’re just a kid born into a poor family. Do you think it’s that difficult for us? Damn, I can’t believe you dared to act so shamelessly, even though you came alone. Polly, hit her back,” declared Maggie Thompson. She pushed Polly forward. Among the few, Polly was considered the kindest of all.“Come and try me,” Dexie said coldly. Those rich and delicate girls were no match for her at all.The boys sitting behind the group of girls watched as they argued. Instead of telling them to stop, they even started whistling jokingly to cheer them on.Dexie looked at them coldly. She noticed that among that group of men, the delicate-looking boy sitting in the corner had remained silent the whole time.She had an air of indifference towards him. He didn’t seem different from the surrounding people. However... his clothes were the most worn out. His eyes were fixed on Dexie attentively, though he occasionally glanced at Po

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
