“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
Gavin drove at high speed throughout the journey. After forty minutes, he finally arrived at the address Eric had sent. Eric, with a bandage in hand, seemed to have arrived as well. He looked inside and outside, but didn't see anyone. His expression was very unpleasant.Dexie asked as soon as she entered the door, "Eric, how is the search going?"She felt more disheartened when she saw Eric's appearance and the poverty situation in his family. Upon seeing Dexie enter, Eric said with a concerned expression on his face, "I can't find them. I can't find my parents anywhere."As Eric spoke, he also looked at Luke. The expression in his eyes seemed to be one of self-blame and guilt.Luke looked at Eric and said solemnly, "First, call all your relatives and friends. I will ask my subordinates how the investigation is going."Dexie said, "Eric, hurry and call them." Eric nodded and quickly started making calls. Luke took his phone and walked to the door to give instructions to Gavin and the
She didn’t dare release the beans in front of Luke because she didn’t want him to have something against her. She was quite cunning.Dexie asked through clenched teeth, “What exactly do you want?”Paloma said, “I have a broken heart now, so I want to be happy.”Dexie asked patiently, “Then, how can you be happy?”“If my wedding with Oswin is not ruined, and if you will kneel in front of me and admit your mistake, if you ensure that the Huxley family never suffers because of me, maybe, I will be a little happier.”After Paloma finished speaking, she chuckled twice, as if she were extremely joyful.Her laughter made Dexie’s face fall instantly.She said coldly, “Paloma, what are you talking about? You’re delirious!”“Dexie, you asked me yourself, why are you saying I’m delirious now?” On the other end of the phone, Paloma chuckled and said, “If you don’t want to, it’s fine. Go find your poor parents on your own.”Dexie felt shocked and angry, and Eric’s expression was even more furious.
Dexie suppressed the anger and anxiety in her voice and asked Paloma as calmly as possible, "What do you want me to do?"Paloma said, "I know Lukey and Eric are there right now, so I won't tell you anything."Paloma's voice was no longer hysterical. She said, "Dexie, it wasn't me who took them, and you've already cornered the Hansley family," with a calm and indifferent air. No matter how you threaten me, it's useless. I'm just a pawn in someone else's plan, so you don't need to think about asking them for help. I know Mr. Huxley and Eric will allow you to try to find out their whereabouts and tell you not to act alone but to think for yourself. Even if you kill me now, it will be useless because you won't be able to find your parents anymore, so you know what to do."With that, Paloma hung up the phone.Dexie was stunned. She felt bewildered by how unconcerned Paloma was. Confused, she tried calling Paloma again, but Paloma's phone was turned off.Luke said, "Don't worry, my subordin
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
