“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
“Of course, I didn’t think that, but it’s hard for people not to misinterpret.”Dexie laughed a little uncomfortable as she thought about how not only did she misunderstand,. When she saw the clothes in her room, she felt like they belonged to Danny’s biological mother and it hurt her heart. She hadn’t even worn those clothes yet.As her imagination ran wild, Luke reached out and grabbed her. With a slight force, he pulled her towards him. She lost her balance and fell onto Luke’s leg.“What? Were you jealous of that?” Luke squeezed her chin and asked with a smile on his face.Dexie whiffled her head. She blushed profusely and stuttered as she said, “I, I wouldn’t get jealous over something so trivial. I’m not that boring!”“Really?” Luke arched his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile.“Of cou
Luke didn’t respond to Dexie, but he looked at her with a serious expression in his eyes.“Missing in action,” he said.“What’s wrong?” she asked.“Have you ever thought about how much dowry you will get after marrying me?” Luke asked seriously.“Dowry?” Dexie froze, staring at Luke in shock.Luke nodded and continued, “Since you don’t like the Jones family, why do you have to try? It would be more beneficial to use the dowry I gave you to establish your own company in an industry you enjoy and are familiar with. Wouldn’t it feel beneficial to be your own boss?”Dexie was even more surprised when she heard this. “But... Luke, if you give me the dowry, I will also have to do it.”Luke nodded slowly and said, “Since you don’t like the people from the Jones family, wouldn’t it be nicer to be your own boss? Being the owner of the continent’s largest restaurant chain would make the Huxley family rich.”“What’s the rush? We can get married after you graduate. The Huxley family considers thi
“Jessebelle, why? Is it so serious?" Dexie was surprised and couldn’t help lowering her voice.“Yes, it’s severe,” Jessebelle said solemnly.“Dexie, this is important. Although we have been friends for many years, I must warn you that this concerns the lives of many people.”Dexie nodded and told Jessebelle, “Wait a moment; I will close the door of the room.”With that, she closed the door and shut the window. Then, she sat on the sofa and whispered into the phone, “Jessebelle, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone, not even Luke or my parents, so you can calmly tell me.”“Okay.” Jessebelle took a deep breath and remained silent for a while before telling Dexie, “Dexie, the Claire family is connected to Danny’s biological mother.”“What?” Dexie was even more surprised and said, “Danny’s biological mother?”“Well, this matter is complicated and related to a family secret, so I can’t tell you too much, but the death of Danny’s biological mother almost certainly has something to do with Luke.
Dexie was even more surprised and said, “Both of them ran away?”Although it was the 21st century, people had the freedom to pursue their love and marriage: political marriages had never ceased to exist. Family background was more important than anything else. Wealthy families had instilled this value in their children from an early age, and they understood the dire consequences of deviating, which prevented them from fleeing hastily.Running away meant giving up the right to inheritance. Who would break ties with their immensely rich family for the sake of whimsical love? Because he was powerful enough, Luke could afford to go against the Huxley family.The idea of Luke’s determination and perseverance filled Dexie with pain. On the other end of the phone, Jessebelle continued and said, “They ran away and disappeared from everyone’s sight for two full years. Only two years later, I found Luke’s older brother and my cousin.”Dexie was surprised when she heard this. After a long time,
Dexie was shocked and asked Jessebelle on the phone with shock.“Do you want me to help you investigate this matter?”Jessebelle nodded, and her tone became increasingly solemn as she said, “Yes, Dexie, this is not just for me but also for you.”Dexie couldn’t help but ask, “Jessebelle, do you want me to find out the truth?”“Dexie, this is very dangerous, but Luke has sincere feelings for you now, so all you have to do is pay more attention. If you can find any clues, that would be best; if you can’t find any, don’t risk it. If Luke goes downhill, no one can afford to resist his anger!”Jessebelle’s tone was solemn, and when she said this, she sounded scared and apprehensive. “Dexie, this matter is very dangerous. Don’t be hasty and let nature take its course. It’s just that you are in the Greco family’s house now; Luke trusts you, and Danny likes you so much, so it’s easier for you to investigate the truth than for me.”Dexie remained silent. She didn’t know how to respond to Jesseb
"Ah, Luke, no, I can do it myself." Dexie hurriedly turned off the water, but by the time she did, Luke had already made the call."Hello, is this the principal?" Holding his phone, he spoke as he walked away. It seemed like the other person had already answered the call."Oh, so the situation is like this... I wonder if there is a first-year student named Dexie Hansley in your school. Yes, yes, it's her."Luke winked at Dexie, then sat at the dining table and said solemnly, "Oh, nothing, she... She's my wife, um, yes, she's married; she is."Dexie looked at Luke in surprise and wondered how he could reveal such things so easily.This made her think of what Jessebelle had told her. He didn't seem concerned at all about his affairs being known. Instead, it seemed like he wanted as many people as possible to know.He looked at Dexie and saw Dexie's anxious expression. He shook his head slightly, as if to express that it didn't matter.Feeling a little helpless, Dexie frowned, but she co
