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
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. "I don't care what ga
She couldn’t enter the room. She needed to seek help.She surveyed her surroundings. Finally, she saw a woman walking towards her. She reached out and tugged at the woman's clothes.“Help me. Help me call the police.”She had no strength left."Oh my God, what happened to you?" Are you drunk? Come, let me take you upstairs so you can rest.” The woman wore a simple outfit and carried a professional camera around her neck. As she said this, she led Dexie to the elevator without giving her time to respond.“Are you... a reporter? Let me go!” Dexie instantly understood what was happening.This was something that Eleanor had arranged in advance.A camera?Was she planning to publish images and photos of herself?Everything appeared to align effortlessly.“Miss, you must be drunk. Let me help you.” Although the woman seemed petite, she was quite strong. When the woman dragged Dexie, she showed no resistance at all.There was a possibility that her current weakness made it impossible for her
“Noah, please stop," Jasper interjected."Luke isn't married yet, right? Anything is possible. He has finally found someone, so why are you?""Dexie is not someone you can toy with casually. She's the girl I've been talking about. I've loved her for ten years," Noah declared angrily.The Claire family had a close relationship with the Hansley family. Jessebelle and Dexie had similar personalities and had been close friends since high school. As the eldest son of the Claire family, Noah had been sent abroad to study business administration and could only visit occasionally. However, he had always planned to marry Dexie. He was just waiting for her to grow up.The Hansley family had arranged a marriage agreement with the Blake family, who were involved in hotel development. Noah was aware of this, but he knew that Dexie only saw Oswin as an older brother. Therefore, he didn't feel the need to rush and reveal his feelings to her. He was simply waiting for Dexie to mature in her thoughts
“No, not yet," Jasper said, on the verge of tears. He felt even more scared than when Luke’s older brother and mother were involved in that incident.“Gavin, tell Melvin immediately that if he can’t locate the coordinates of the call right now, he can forget about living,” Luke’s expression was icy. On the surface, he seemed impassive, but he was the only one who knew how nervous he was. He even had cold sweat on his palms.“Understood,” Gavin replied with a trembling voice. He hurried to call Melvin, but as soon as the call connected, Melvin’s response gave him some hope.“We have found it. We traced the phone call back to Black Bar. The coordinates show it came from the south side.”“South side? Are you sure you have inspected all the rooms?” Jasper asked. Suddenly, he remembered something and hurried to exclaim, “I know where it is. There is a room we haven’t checked yet!”As he said this, he turned around and led a group of people to the elevator. Soon, they arrived at the seventh
After pondering for a while, Jasper realized that there was only one effective method to cure his sister-in-law. If he stayed in the car, he would certainly disrupt the flow of things.He didn’t dare to go against Luke’s words. Jasper understood that Luke didn’t plan to explain himself. So, he parked the car by the curb and got out with tremendous exasperation.“Luke, are you sure you don’t need my help?” Jasper inquired, staring at Dexie with concern.Luke turned to look at him. “Go find that woman named Paloma. Bring her to the Huxley residence in two hours.”Jasper didn’t dare to ask more questions but scrutinized Luke with amazement. Two hours? It wasn’t obvious, but his endurance was quite good!Jasper walked away, leaving Dexie, who was still dazed, alone in the car with Luke. She murmured to Luke in a hoarse voice, “Save me, Luke. I feel very uncomfortable.”She felt like she was about to lose all rationality. At this moment, Dexie was like a tempting and fragrant delicacy t
In fact, he found it amusing to see Dexie in such a desperate and anxious state.Dexie felt bitter about this. However, she had no way to refute his statement.Everyone knew that the CEO of the Huxley Group did not like the company of women. However, she had woken up next to him. When she imagined herself committing the act, she was completely convinced that she was wrong. Regardless of how she looked at it, Luke was the one who had suffered.Luke pretended to think. Dexie worried even more when she saw him deep in thought with a furrowed brow.After a long pause, he finally spoke and said, "So... I will temporarily withhold your salary. In the future, you will take care of Danny, receiving no income."Since she was his wife, the assets and money of the Huxley family would belong to her in the future. Naturally, she would not need income."Oh..." Dexie's voice was filled with misery."But your salary alone will not be enough. Even if you starve and save for ten years, it will not be e
“Boss, are you saying that?” Gavin looked at Luke. A trace of cold and murderous intent passed through his eyes. His intention was as clear as day.Luke did not give him a response. He looked at the documents and contemplated what his next steps would be.He placed a hand on the table and drummed his fingers in an arrhythmic manner. The sound of his drumming broke the silence of the quiet room, causing Gavin to break out in a cold sweat...This was his boss’s standard behavior when he was angry.Who could ignore Luke’s terrible cruelty? He had almost forgotten this. After his boss met Miss Hansley, he seemed to have completely changed.“Let’s see how Dexie wants to deal with her later and if she should be kept alive.” After a pause, Luke finally spoke. Gavin silently breathed a sigh of relief.“Then we pretend to know nothing. No one may deal with the William family issue. Not a word should be leaked,” Luke said.That girl was someone who valued her relationship and was a strong-minded
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... Quenti
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
