2024-10-29 19:42:56Thinking that Luke already had a fiancée, Dexie had 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, who perhaps 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 and spend New Year’s with the two eldest members of the William and Eric families. That would be the right choice.
She got up, washed, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. While cooking porridge, she heard a woman’s voice from the kitche

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

A black Maybach exited the villa’s driveway. Luke was cursing inwardly.It was freezing outside; the temperature was minus eight degrees, and the snowfall was getting heavier. No one was on the road.Luke was inexplicably a little nervous. Dexie was terrified of the cold, and her hands and feet were always cold when she was outside. Although it hadn’t been long since they met, Luke remembered that.What would happen if she stayed outside on such a snowy day?After twenty minutes, he drove towards the bustling city but still didn’t see Dexie.Paying attention to both sides of the road, he didn’t drive fast, but he didn’t encounter a single pedestrian.He felt that something was wrong. There was no way Dexie could have walked so fast. Did a passing car pick her up?Very few cars were in this area, so it was even more unlikely that a private vehicle would pick up a stranger during such heavy snowfall. Taxis were also unlikely to come here.He called Melvin and asked him to check. Gavin w

Luke was paralyzed for a moment. He was a little frustrated but also distressed. What’s wrong with her? Even in her semi-conscious state, she insisted she didn’t want to go back to the Huxley family. What’s going on? After her parents returned safe and sound last night, she changed. She became depressed, so what was happening?Luke was very puzzled but didn’t ask further. Since she didn’t want to go home, they went to a hotel. He made a call to Gavin, who hurriedly said, “The hotel in the center of The Huxley Group just prepared a room for Miss Hansley so you can bring Miss Hansley.”“I see. Call a doctor and wait at the hotel. She seems to suffer from hypotherdexia, so she might have a fever.”After hanging up the phone, Luke focused on driving and increased the car's speed. Finally, after a little over half an hour, they arrived at the hotel.Dexie was still dazed. Luke hugged her and found she was trembling. Her body was also surprisingly hot to the touch. Luke wondered what was ha

After breakfast, they heard a knock on the door. Gavin stood up and said, “Sir, I brought the things.”With that, he looked inside and saw Dexie sitting on the sofa next to the bed. It seemed like they had reconciled. He felt a little relieved. He wanted nothing more than for everything to go well between his boss and Miss Hansley. After closing the door, Luke placed the marriage certificate in front of Dexie.“Look.”Dexie still couldn’t believe it. She took it from Luke and saw that it contained two red books. “Is this a marriage certificate?” Dexie still couldn’t believe it and asked Luke incredulously.Seeing Dexie’s surprised expression, Luke said, “Open it and look.” Dexie left the box on the table, took the marriage certificate, and examined it carefully. After looking at it, she was astonished.“It’s a marriage c

She had a fever last night. Later, Luke arrived and took her away immediately, but the other party did not take photos of Luke or them arguing. They only took a picture of Noah hugging her, so it was intentional.Since the other party only sent a carefully selected angle photo of Noah and her, the target was probably her or Noah.In that case, who could be the mastermind? What was the purpose of the other party? Regardless of the other party’s purpose, it would not be good for her or Noah in any way!More importantly, someone anonymously posted these photos. It would be easier to remove it if it were a media outlet, but it was a personal post. Here, if they wanted to remove it, they had to find the blogger.If the other party had malicious intentions, they probably couldn’t find that person so quickly.

"Yes, sir." Gavin lowered his head and didn't dare to ask more.Luke nodded and said, "I'll go back alone. You should stay and investigate the mole in the hotel."Gavin said, "Are you suspecting...""The hotel has always had strict security measures. Since that group of reporters could enter, the matter is probably not so simple."But, said Luke, "Investigate it for the sake of appearances."Luke's words had a hidden meaning, so Gavin looked at him puzzled, but then immediately nodded and said, "I understand."Dexie was a little confused, so Luke said, "Let's go home first, and I'll tell you on the way."Reporters couldn't enter the Huxley family's house.Dexie nodded and went to the garage with Luke. The car drove out, and the garage exit was crowded with reporters. They frantically took pictures of Luke's car.Probably because there were too many people, the security guards couldn't stop them all. Dexie frowned and gave Luke a worried look.Luke seemed calm and composed as he drove

“She wants to use this issue to kick you out.” Dexie frowned and became even more worried.“That wouldn’t be enough. Her little tricks won’t scare me away. But they will make things difficult for me for a while,” Luke shook his head and told Dexie.“Will it be troublesome?” Dexie asked.“It depends on how big the impact is,” Luke said with a solemn expression on his face as he drove the car.“She was well prepared, so the situation wouldn’t be easy, but the whip on the back can’t be too heavy. But if she doesn’t have a sense of achievement, her downfall wouldn’t be so crushing."“I have my arrangements. Just endure the gossip for a couple of days,” Luke said with a stern expression on his face.“But if you don’t go out and stay at home, the gossip won’t reach your ears, and things will be fine.”Dexie looked at Luke and shook her head, saying, “There are only two days left until New Year. I want to go home to spend New Year with my family.”“Does that mean you won’t celebrate New Year

Danny's words caught Dexie completely off guard. She couldn't help but feel moved."Danny, are you doing this for my sake?" Dexie looked at Danny in disbelief, her eyes filled with surprise and incredulity.Danny nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, you are family to me. Dad said you would become my mom, eventually. Whatever happens, Dad and I will protect you. No one can intimidate you."The expression in Danny's eyes was firm and indeed, it seemed to convey that there was nothing strange about this.Dexie looked at Danny, feeling touched and happy in her heart, but at this moment, she couldn't express her emotions in words. She quickly reached out and gathered Danny into her arms to give him a tight hug because she was feeling overwhelmed."Sister, are you so moved?" After Dexie hugged Danny, she was surprised, but then gently patted him and said, "This is what men should do."Danny's blunt remark made Dexie even more moved, and she had a deeper understanding of Luke.In th

Gavin replied, “Yes.”He felt a little confused. Outside of family gatherings, the most frequent visitors to the Huxley family were the company executives. Luke never needed to give specific instructions. However, today he gave specific instructions. Who was the guest?However, Gavin only thought about it to himself and didn’t dare say it out loud.Dexie looked at Luke with a smile on her face and said, “Can we go downstairs for breakfast now?”Luke looked at her with a bitter expression on his face as he said, “I’m in a hurry to go to the office.”“Aren’t you going to eat?” Dexie froze for a moment and inquired.Luke nodded and said, “I still have something to do in the office.”“But... I got up really early and was busy all morning,” Dexie said, raising her head in a somewhat aggrieved manner and giving Luke a pitying look. Are you truly planning to skip breakfast?Luke stopped and said, “You and Danny should eat.”When she saw him like that, Dexie knew what was on his mind. She sai

When Dexie woke up, her body ached. A nurse removed the needle from her hand and, when she opened her eyes, she asked in surprise, “Miss Hansley, are you awake?” Dexie wanted to move but had no strength left.Even after struggling for a while, she still couldn’t get up. The nurse hurriedly said, “Don’t move; I’ll get you some water and help you up.”She used cotton swabs and tape to press the needle tube she had just removed from Dexie’s hand. Dexie was leaning on soft pillows when she turned to pour water and asked, “Miss Hansley, are you hungry?”Dexie was still a bit dazed, and instead of responding to the nurse’s words, she asked, “What happened to me?” The nurse said, “You had a very high fever. Thankfully, early detection prevented disastrous consequences.”It turned out she had a fever. The day before, she went out to look for Danny and came back drenched. She felt uncomfortable and had no strength left before going to bed at night, but she didn’t expect it to be so serious. Su

Perhaps it was the serious and sincere expression in his eyes that caused Danny to look at Dexie with a hint of doubt.Dexie let out a sigh of relief, then told Danny to lie down and said, “Sleep for a while. You need more rest to get better.”Danny nodded, but he was still a little worried, so he looked at Dexie.Dexie got up, covered him with the blanket, then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Danny’s forehead. With a smile, she said, “Go to sleep. Mommy will come back to my room once you’re asleep.”Danny nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.After closing his eyes for a moment, as if he were still worried, he opened his eyes and looked at Dexie again.He felt relieved to see Dexie still looking at him with a smile.Dexie smiled and said, “Go to sleep.”Danny nodded. Dexie stroked the bed covers over him while humming a lullaby. Danny was exhausted, so he soon fell asleep.After Danny fell asleep, Dexie let out a sigh of relief and stood up.After experiencing intense an

She was busy in the kitchen. After preparing the food, she went upstairs to see if the doctor had finished bandaging him. As soon as she exited the kitchen, she witnessed Gavin dismissing the doctor. Only a nurse remained at home. Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes as she listened to the doctor’s instructions.Dexie hurried upstairs to see if Danny had woken up.This time, Victor was guarding Danny. He seemed to wait for Dexie. He looked at Dexie coldly and said in a frosty tone, “Miss Hansley, put the things at the door and let the servants in later to deliver them.”He addressed her as Miss Hansley in a polite and distant tone.Dexie had a terrible feeling in her heart and said, “Mr. Huxley, I know you must hate me now, but Danny has a special condition and cannot eat when someone else feeds him. It’s better to let me in. After he recovers, you can deal with me.”Her voice was very hoarse.As she descended the mountain today, she was shouting Danny’s name and crying uncontrollably. Th
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 319: Danny is Injured
Dexie clenched her teeth and gazed in her direction. At that moment, she couldn’t be overly aggressive. Everyone believed she was the one who made Danny flee and sustain injuries. They and Luke might not let her in if she was too confrontational now. She believed she couldn’t take any chances.Dexie took a deep breath and looked at Ava. After trying to calm down, she said to Ava, “Mrs. Huxley, we can discuss who would be responsible later. Luke won’t let me off easily, so don’t stand in my way. I want to go in and see how Danny is. Since there are so many people inside, I can’t do anything to help Danny. I just want to see him. Besides, you have no right to stop me.”Ava scoffed at Dexie and said, “I am Danny’s grandmother and a member of the Huxley family, so why don’t I stop you? You are not welcome here and cannot enter under any circumstances. Luke also told you to leave. Now that Danny has been found, why are you still here?”Dexie was about to speak when the room’s door opened.

Dexie took a deep breath, climbed the stairs, and left her bag in the room. She put on a pair of sturdy, non-slip snow boots and a thick down jacket, then grabbed her thermos and headed out the back door where Danny had also left.The warm water was for Danny to drink. When they found him, he would probably want to drink water.Dexie took a flashlight just in case, then went out the door.She was very careful as she walked along the road. She scrutinized the ground for footprints and the branches on either side for any clues left by Danny.Even though she was anxious, she needed to calm down. Finding Danny was the most important thing.After walking for a few minutes, she saw two small paths in front of her. Suddenly she froze in place and hesitated.She wondered, Which path did he take?Although Danny had autism, he was smarter and more contemplative than normal children. Dexie felt she couldn’t try to understand based on common sense, but should think, if I were Danny... what would
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 317: In Search of Danny
As soon as Ava’s voice lowered, Dexie glanced at Gavin and asked, “How is the search going? Has Danny left this mountain?”Gavin looked at Luke and saw that he was still expressionless. He sighed and, without hiding it anymore, said, “We sent people to search and sent a drone, but... Danny is nowhere to be found. They have checked several checkpoints at the exit and consulted with the security guards. Danny never... Unless Danny escaped by climbing a wall at the foot of a mountain, he must still be on the mountain.”After Gavin’s statement, Dexie became even more concerned. She frowned and asked, “Are there no surveillance cameras? Look for surveillance footage and see what happened.”Gavin sighed and said, “except inside and outside the mansion, only a few mountain paths have cameras.” There aren’t many trails, and the nature of the mountain makes it impossible to install surveillance cameras everywhere.Dexie inquired once more, “What is the duration of his absence?”Gavin said, “It

After Dexie spoke with Jessebelle and Noah, it was almost three-thirty. Seeing the time, she said, “It’s time for me to go back.”Noah said, “Alright, be careful and understand that your own safety is the most important, no matter what happens.”Dexie nodded and said, “I know.”Dexie had only driven a few hundred meters after parting ways with the siblings.Gavin called. Dexie was in a positive mood, so she answered the phone and asked with a smile, “Gavin, since you’re calling me now, could it be that you found something in the investigation?”Dexie was in a positive mood, but Gavin said with a desperate voice, “Ma’am, please come back soon. Danny is missing.”“What?” Dexie’s tone changed, and her heart started beating wildly.“Danny ran away on his own. We’ve been searching for a long time, but we still haven’t found him. Even though it’s not snowing, the outside temperature is extremely low, and the road remains icy. There are mountain roads outside, so I’m afraid that Danny might

Danny’s expression was angry, and he frowned as he said, “Mom said she would be home before 3 o’clock. She broke her promise.”Ava sighed, with a look of distress on her face, and said, “Really? How could she break her promise? That’s unacceptable!”Danny seemed even more upset when he heard Ava’s words and said in a plaintive tone, “Mom promised me, so why hasn’t she come back? Did she fight with dad again?”Ava sighed and said, “She might not return, but she might have promised to be home before 3 o’clock just to console you.”I heard she promised you yesterday, but then she disappeared. She may have returned out of sympathy after seeing your tears. Danny, don’t feel too sad about it. Even if she’s not here, I can love you.”Danny shook his head with a look of grievance and said, “No, I want mom.”Ava repeated, “But... she’s not coming back, are you going to go out looking for her?”After hesitating for a while, Danny said calmly, “I... want to call mom.”Ava sighed and told Danny,
