Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 174
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 178
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

That day, Paloma seemed very excited. She sat next to Dexie with a smile. Her face was glowing as she poured herself a glass of wine. Then, she poured another cup for Dexie and raised the glass.“Dexie, let’s leave all the bad things that have happened in the past behind, okay? After all, we are still sisters. Once I return to the Hansley family and start working, we can work together to help father overcome these difficulties.”As Paloma said this, everyone turned to look at them. Dexie was curious to see what she had up her sleeve.Dexie did not take the glass Paloma had passed to her, nor did she give a response. She simply gazed at her.After Dexie stared at her so intensely, Paloma’s smile seemed to stiffen for a fraction of a second. She appeared quite uncomfortable.What was wrong with Dexie Hansley? In the past, hadn’t she easily listened to every word of Paloma? Since the incident that night, it seemed like she had become more difficult to control.“The Hansley family is faci

When he imagined her smiling at Oswin, that fickle man, he instantly became irritated. No way. Tonight, he had to punish her when they returned! It was a rather strange experience. Although he clearly couldn’t get close to other women, this girl was an exception. This was especially true after he discovered her identity. He wanted to get close to her, and there were even moments when he felt like kissing her. He did not know what kind of curse he was under. Danny’s psychiatrist once said that Luke had a mild allergy to a different sex. He couldn’t get close to women. He laughed and wondered how such a strange illness could exist. However, Dexie seemed to be an exception! Luke’s expression had undergone such a drastic change. When Jasper and his friends saw this, they felt their hearts tremble in fear. No one dared to provoke him. After being friends with him for so long, everyone could tell that he was currently in a bad mood. In the other private room, Dexie was very surprised
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 181
Paloma's voice seemed to convey a strange sense of satisfaction. When Dexie heard it, she had a feeling that something was wrong. However, she couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.She lifted the cup indifferently and clinked glasses with Paloma. When the other people in the room saw how cooperative Dexie was, they smiled disdainfully. They seemed to mock her cowardice.Dexie seemed to bring the wineglass to her lips. Even Paloma was watching with great anticipation. However, as the glass touched her lips, Dexie paused. Paloma frowned. She chuckled coldly and asked Dexie, "What's wrong? Are you worried that there's something wrong with this wine?"As she said this, she took the wineglass in her hand and took a sip right in front of Dexie. She chuckled and said, "See? There's nothing wrong with this glass of wine!"Dexie finally relaxed. Paloma's actions were quite peculiar. She had no choice but to be on guard.Dexie regained the glass and spoke to Paloma coldly.

Gavin replied, “Yes.”He felt a little confused. Outside of family gatherings, the most frequent visitors to the Huxley family were the company executives. Luke never needed to give specific instructions. However, today he gave specific instructions. Who was the guest?However, Gavin only thought about it to himself and didn’t dare say it out loud.Dexie looked at Luke with a smile on her face and said, “Can we go downstairs for breakfast now?”Luke looked at her with a bitter expression on his face as he said, “I’m in a hurry to go to the office.”“Aren’t you going to eat?” Dexie froze for a moment and inquired.Luke nodded and said, “I still have something to do in the office.”“But... I got up really early and was busy all morning,” Dexie said, raising her head in a somewhat aggrieved manner and giving Luke a pitying look. Are you truly planning to skip breakfast?Luke stopped and said, “You and Danny should eat.”When she saw him like that, Dexie knew what was on his mind. She sai

When Dexie woke up, her body ached. A nurse removed the needle from her hand and, when she opened her eyes, she asked in surprise, “Miss Hansley, are you awake?” Dexie wanted to move but had no strength left.Even after struggling for a while, she still couldn’t get up. The nurse hurriedly said, “Don’t move; I’ll get you some water and help you up.”She used cotton swabs and tape to press the needle tube she had just removed from Dexie’s hand. Dexie was leaning on soft pillows when she turned to pour water and asked, “Miss Hansley, are you hungry?”Dexie was still a bit dazed, and instead of responding to the nurse’s words, she asked, “What happened to me?” The nurse said, “You had a very high fever. Thankfully, early detection prevented disastrous consequences.”It turned out she had a fever. The day before, she went out to look for Danny and came back drenched. She felt uncomfortable and had no strength left before going to bed at night, but she didn’t expect it to be so serious. Su

Perhaps it was the serious and sincere expression in his eyes that caused Danny to look at Dexie with a hint of doubt.Dexie let out a sigh of relief, then told Danny to lie down and said, “Sleep for a while. You need more rest to get better.”Danny nodded, but he was still a little worried, so he looked at Dexie.Dexie got up, covered him with the blanket, then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Danny’s forehead. With a smile, she said, “Go to sleep. Mommy will come back to my room once you’re asleep.”Danny nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.After closing his eyes for a moment, as if he were still worried, he opened his eyes and looked at Dexie again.He felt relieved to see Dexie still looking at him with a smile.Dexie smiled and said, “Go to sleep.”Danny nodded. Dexie stroked the bed covers over him while humming a lullaby. Danny was exhausted, so he soon fell asleep.After Danny fell asleep, Dexie let out a sigh of relief and stood up.After experiencing intense an

She was busy in the kitchen. After preparing the food, she went upstairs to see if the doctor had finished bandaging him. As soon as she exited the kitchen, she witnessed Gavin dismissing the doctor. Only a nurse remained at home. Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes as she listened to the doctor’s instructions.Dexie hurried upstairs to see if Danny had woken up.This time, Victor was guarding Danny. He seemed to wait for Dexie. He looked at Dexie coldly and said in a frosty tone, “Miss Hansley, put the things at the door and let the servants in later to deliver them.”He addressed her as Miss Hansley in a polite and distant tone.Dexie had a terrible feeling in her heart and said, “Mr. Huxley, I know you must hate me now, but Danny has a special condition and cannot eat when someone else feeds him. It’s better to let me in. After he recovers, you can deal with me.”Her voice was very hoarse.As she descended the mountain today, she was shouting Danny’s name and crying uncontrollably. Th
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 319: Danny is Injured
Dexie clenched her teeth and gazed in her direction. At that moment, she couldn’t be overly aggressive. Everyone believed she was the one who made Danny flee and sustain injuries. They and Luke might not let her in if she was too confrontational now. She believed she couldn’t take any chances.Dexie took a deep breath and looked at Ava. After trying to calm down, she said to Ava, “Mrs. Huxley, we can discuss who would be responsible later. Luke won’t let me off easily, so don’t stand in my way. I want to go in and see how Danny is. Since there are so many people inside, I can’t do anything to help Danny. I just want to see him. Besides, you have no right to stop me.”Ava scoffed at Dexie and said, “I am Danny’s grandmother and a member of the Huxley family, so why don’t I stop you? You are not welcome here and cannot enter under any circumstances. Luke also told you to leave. Now that Danny has been found, why are you still here?”Dexie was about to speak when the room’s door opened.
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 318: Danny is Found
Dexie took a deep breath, climbed the stairs, and left her bag in the room. She put on a pair of sturdy, non-slip snow boots and a thick down jacket, then grabbed her thermos and headed out the back door where Danny had also left.The warm water was for Danny to drink. When they found him, he would probably want to drink water.Dexie took a flashlight just in case, then went out the door.She was very careful as she walked along the road. She scrutinized the ground for footprints and the branches on either side for any clues left by Danny.Even though she was anxious, she needed to calm down. Finding Danny was the most important thing.After walking for a few minutes, she saw two small paths in front of her. Suddenly she froze in place and hesitated.She wondered, Which path did he take?Although Danny had autism, he was smarter and more contemplative than normal children. Dexie felt she couldn’t try to understand based on common sense, but should think, if I were Danny... what would
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 317: In Search of Danny
As soon as Ava’s voice lowered, Dexie glanced at Gavin and asked, “How is the search going? Has Danny left this mountain?”Gavin looked at Luke and saw that he was still expressionless. He sighed and, without hiding it anymore, said, “We sent people to search and sent a drone, but... Danny is nowhere to be found. They have checked several checkpoints at the exit and consulted with the security guards. Danny never... Unless Danny escaped by climbing a wall at the foot of a mountain, he must still be on the mountain.”After Gavin’s statement, Dexie became even more concerned. She frowned and asked, “Are there no surveillance cameras? Look for surveillance footage and see what happened.”Gavin sighed and said, “except inside and outside the mansion, only a few mountain paths have cameras.” There aren’t many trails, and the nature of the mountain makes it impossible to install surveillance cameras everywhere.Dexie inquired once more, “What is the duration of his absence?”Gavin said, “It

After Dexie spoke with Jessebelle and Noah, it was almost three-thirty. Seeing the time, she said, “It’s time for me to go back.”Noah said, “Alright, be careful and understand that your own safety is the most important, no matter what happens.”Dexie nodded and said, “I know.”Dexie had only driven a few hundred meters after parting ways with the siblings.Gavin called. Dexie was in a positive mood, so she answered the phone and asked with a smile, “Gavin, since you’re calling me now, could it be that you found something in the investigation?”Dexie was in a positive mood, but Gavin said with a desperate voice, “Ma’am, please come back soon. Danny is missing.”“What?” Dexie’s tone changed, and her heart started beating wildly.“Danny ran away on his own. We’ve been searching for a long time, but we still haven’t found him. Even though it’s not snowing, the outside temperature is extremely low, and the road remains icy. There are mountain roads outside, so I’m afraid that Danny might

Danny’s expression was angry, and he frowned as he said, “Mom said she would be home before 3 o’clock. She broke her promise.”Ava sighed, with a look of distress on her face, and said, “Really? How could she break her promise? That’s unacceptable!”Danny seemed even more upset when he heard Ava’s words and said in a plaintive tone, “Mom promised me, so why hasn’t she come back? Did she fight with dad again?”Ava sighed and said, “She might not return, but she might have promised to be home before 3 o’clock just to console you.”I heard she promised you yesterday, but then she disappeared. She may have returned out of sympathy after seeing your tears. Danny, don’t feel too sad about it. Even if she’s not here, I can love you.”Danny shook his head with a look of grievance and said, “No, I want mom.”Ava repeated, “But... she’s not coming back, are you going to go out looking for her?”After hesitating for a while, Danny said calmly, “I... want to call mom.”Ava sighed and told Danny,
