Chapter 170
“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

The girls exchanged glances in response to Paloma’s words. They realized it was indeed a bad idea to make a scene there. Paloma was going to marry Oswin Blake. In the future, they could have many opportunities to win his favor. That’s why they left things as they were and sat on the sofas.Paloma’s call had just ended. "Hello, Oswin, where are you now?” she asked.The person on the other end of the call didn’t seem to be used to her enthusiasm. He seemed unsure of how to respond. After another two seconds, a soft voice finally answered, though it sounded hesitant.“It’s still early. I just left home,” he replied.To get to the Blake residence, he would have to cross a river in the city center. They were at opposite ends of the city, and it would take him over an hour to reach her.Paloma had intentionally delayed her arrival to trick Dexie into coming earlier. That way, she could implement her plan.“Oh, we’re already here, Dexie has also come to congratulate us. Hurry!” Once Paloma h
