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-minde
Dexie was perplexed. Her eyes darkened instantly as she looked at Eric in confusion. “Weren’t you the ones who said you didn’t want to see me?”“Hmm?” Eric remained silent for a moment. Suddenly, he seemed to have realized this, and his expression darkened. He asked Dexie coldly, “Did that horrible Paloma tell you this?”Dexie nodded.“What did she say?” Eric’s face darkened. However, he couldn’t help but inquire further.Dexie hesitated for a moment. However, she remembered Paloma’s style of doing things, as well as her character. It was likely that Paloma had lied. Since there wasn’t much to hide, she sighed and replied, “She said the William family only wanted money. Once you received the money, you expressed no desire to interact with me, and it appeared unnecessary for us to meet.“Indeed, she is an ungrateful, shameless woman.” Eric coughed coldly. His voice was icy as he said, “She told us you cared little, especially because you didn’t grow up in our family. She mentioned you
At the end of the call, Oswin was perplexed. He seemed to be at a loss for words. Dexie also didn’t feel very good about this and felt an incomparable sense of anger welling up inside her. But before she could speak, she heard Oswin say, “Dexie, the date of our wedding has already been set and it will be held soon. Currently, she is missing and both the Hansley family and the Blake family will become jokes within the City. Can’t you...?”The appreciation and affection Dexie once had for Oswin had completely vanished. Her voice turned chilly as she said, “Do you know what she did?”Oswin stammered, unable to give a response. Dexie scoffed, her voice icy, “Oswin, since high school, I always thought you were going to be my future husband. I don’t exactly know how I felt about you, but I had never imagined having another man besides you. And you? And your family? What did you all do?”Oswin was speechless.Dexie’s voice was icy as she said, “Since Paloma returned to the Hansley family, y
