Luke’s wife had been accused of theft. They would search her bag publicly!This line alone was enough to pique curiosity. The wealthy woman acted with great caution. She even wore white silk gloves to avoid scratching the expensive bag.All the attendees were rich and influential figures in the city. However, few of them could afford to carry a bag worth more than $150,000 so casually.The crowd watched. First, she took out a tissue paper packet from the bag.Then, a baby bottle. Huh?!Next, she pulled out a small bottle filled with powdered milk!What the hell?There was a sanitary pad as well. However, it was wrapped in plastic, completely separate from all the baby items.Had she used such an expensive bag to store these things?! Dexie blushed. Luke suddenly whispered in her ear, “Your period started? Why didn’t you say anything earlier?”After this, he gestured towards Gavin.Gavin immediately made a hand gesture, and a maid soon approached from the corner of the banquet hall. The
Paloma quickly changed the subject. “Dexie, is that person next to your boyfriend?”Before Dexie could respond, Luke’s eyes turned icy behind his mask. He looked at Paloma and said, “I am not her boyfriend.”“Oh? Then you are.” When Paloma heard this, she secretly felt pleased. Initially, she had assumed that Luke would really lower himself for her.“I am her husband,” Luke continued casually as he stood next to Dexie.“Husband?” Paloma was stunned. She could no longer speak fluently as she stuttered the word.Luke nodded and raised an eyebrow. “Is there a problem with that?”“Dexie, when did you get married? Why didn’t you tell us? You didn’t even mention it to our parents.” Paloma awkwardly smiled.Before Dexie could respond, Luke turned to Dexie, looking confused.Intentionally, he asked, “Dexie, aren’t your parents from the William family? What does this have to do with the Hansley family?”Paloma was perplexed. She had originally intended to mock Dexie’s identity as an adoptive d
“Missing in action!”In the blink of an eye, Paloma seemed to have lost all sense of rationality. She charged forward and tried to grab Dexie by the neck. Dexie stepped back with a smile. Luke stepped forward and immediately blocked Paloma, then pushed her aside. During the chaos, Mrs. Blake took the lab reports and flipped through them. The more she read, the paler her face became. Her whole figure trembled, and she was on the verge of fainting.“How... how... how could this be? Oswin, what kind of woman did you get involved with?” Mrs. Blake groaned in distress. Tears filled her eyes.Oswin was the elder son of the Blake family, and many people looked up to him. The family expected him to be their pillar of strength. After forging a marriage bond with the Hansley family, the Blake family’s F&B hotel sector experienced significant growth. But this marriage had turned into the biggest joke in the city.Mother, what happened to you? Calm down first...Oswin had always been a cultured m
“Luke, I... I slept with another man.”As she said this, tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks. She seemed to be in some indescribable agony.The world labeled him as a ruthless and impassive man. However, he really treated Dexie very well. He even prepared clothes and accessories for her, his employee. Even if Dexie were the biggest fool in the world, she wouldn’t believe he did all this for Danny’s sake.Luke was stunned when he heard her words. Finally, he realized this and smiled smugly. He reached out a hand and wiped the tears from her face. He spoke in a hoarse voice when he said, “Silly girl, are you talking about the night Paloma made you deliver wine?”Dexie nodded. “Mmhm. How did you know?"She immediately came to an understanding. Since Luke hired her to take care of Danny, she would naturally have done an extremely thorough background check on her.Luke wiped away his tears. He loo
The doorbell interrupted Luke, and Dexie couldn’t catch his last words. She had no choice but to follow Luke to the door. She could vaguely sense that Luke had something important to say, but someone had rung the doorbell before she could hear him speak. They opened the door. Dario and Jocelyn were outside.The couple stood at the door. Their faces didn’t look very good, and Jocelyn seemed to have shed some tears. Dario had a rather unpleasant expression on his face, mixed with a hint of discomfort. Luke frowned slightly. He stepped aside and spoke to Dexie, who was behind him.“They are looking for you.” Dexie nodded and walked towards the door. She asked, “Mother, father, why have you come?”“Dexie, are you free to talk for a while?” Jocelyn did her best to hold back the tears as she choked on her words.She nervously looked at Luke, who was behind her. Obvio
Dexie was in a state of shock when she heard what Luke said. Slowly, a smile spread across her face, replacing the despair within her. However, she shed even more tears.“Luke, are you telling the truth?”Luke nodded and hugged her tightly. It was almost as if he wanted her to melt into his body. “I only realized this a while ago. It was an accident, but I didn’t dare tell you because... I was worried you would start avoiding me out of fear.”He continued, “If I had known you were suffering so much, I would have told you the truth much earlier.”She sobbed. “Luke, you idiot! I’ve been so upset all this time, and it’s all your fault. Did you know how worried and scared I was?”She pounded her fists against his muscular chest. But to him, it just felt like a tickl
“Miss Hansley, it doesn’t matter who I am. You just need to know that I am in the same position as you. I am someone who wants to send Dexie to eternal damnation. That would be enough.”The voice on the other end of the call sounded mysterious and fascinating. Although the other party spoke exceptionally warmly, and the words spoken intended to pacify Paloma, they sent an inexplicable shiver down her spine.“Elaine, who are you talking to?” Jocelyn asked Paloma. She could sense that something was not right.“Miss Hansley, ask your mother to leave. I want to talk to you in private,” the woman on the other end of the line added when she heard Jocelyn’s voice.Unexpectedly, this dangerous woman captivated Paloma. When Paloma heard her request, she found it very reasonable. She looked at Jocelyn and said, “Mom, go away for a while. I need to talk to a friend.&rdquo
When he returned to the private room, he saw everyone chatting and drinking. Although everything seemed perfectly normal on the surface, he still had a feeling that something was not right. Despite his doubts, he returned to the seat next to Jessebelle.“Do you want to eat something? Are you hungry?”Luke asked the moment he sat down. It was as if he had ignored everyone else’s presence.As he said this, he was cleaning his left hand with an antiseptic wipe. He had a grim expression on his face, and he was in a bad mood.Everyone around exchanged glances.Harry looked at Jasper, and since Jasper was the boldest of all, he spoke with a smile, “Sister-in-law... Miss Hansley, you’re finally back. Just now, my companion had the nerve to secretly touch your hand. I almost cut off his hands. Since then, he has been
