“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
Dexie froze for a moment and looked at the text message, somewhat astonished. Despite her confusion, she immediately put on an indifferent expression, put away her phone, and accompanied Eric and his parents to the living room.Eric asked, “Mom, Dad, are you both okay? Who took you both?”Howard William said, “It was a young man. He said he was a friend of Dexie.”Howard seemed very honest. Probably because his family was poor, and he had been doing forced labor all year, he had many wrinkles on his face. He looked at Dexie and said cautiously, “Dexie, did you send someone to pick us up?”Dexie was frozen for a moment. She didn’t want to scare her parents, so she nodded and said, “Yes, but I will call ahead if I send someone to pick you up again in the future. Right now, Eric has also scolded me for my carelessness and negligence.”When the two elders heard this, they both looked at Eric, a little dissatisfied. Howard immediately said, “Eric, how can you sell your sister?”Tara Lauren
Thinking that Luke already had a fiancée, Dexie slept a restless night. This time, her parents were whisked away, and Dexie also received a threatening message. It was the work of Luke’s fiancée. Perhaps she wanted to intimidate her a little.Dexie didn’t know who she was, but she must be the heiress of a distinguished family.What about her?What happened between them that night was only because someone set a trap for Luke, and Eleanor set a trap for her.Dexie was distressed and couldn’t fall asleep, so she prepared breakfast. After breakfast, she would return to the residence. She would spend New Year’s with the two eldest members of the William and Eric families. That would be the right choice.She got up and washed, then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. While cooking porridge, she heard a woman’s voice from the kitchen door. “Isn’t it, Miss Hansley? Why did you get up so early?”Dexie turned around and saw Ava, Luke’s stepmother. She was luxuriously dressed and seemed ou

Dexie furrowed her brow, and after seeing the brand, she was surprised.These were the top three lipstick-producing companies?She was even more surprised. She quickly scanned the contents and finally looked at the inscription. Then, with a shocked expression on her face, she asked, “You... acquired the lipstick divisions of these three companies?”“Yes,” Luke pretended to act distant and casual, but his eyes couldn’t help but look at Dexie to observe her expression.“You...” Dexie was astonished and didn’t even know how to respond.When Luke saw Dexie’s expression, he wondered, Maybe Anna’s method worked? However, she didn’t look happy.Luke feared she didn’t understand the situation, so he added, “Don’t women like lipstick? Then I’ll give them to you!”Dexie’s eyes landed on the name of the purchaser. It was his name, and the identification number was also his.“You...” Dexie seemed to be at a loss for words as she said, “Buy a lipstick company and give it to me?”“Don’t you like it
