“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
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
