Dexie regained her senses and said quickly, “I’ll be out soon.” Jessebelle lowered her voice and whispered, “Hurry. I’ll wait for you.”After Dexie hung up the phone, Gavin said, “Ma’am, let me explain how to drive it. Five minutes will be enough. It won’t take much of your time.”Dexie asked, “Gavin, is this... Did Luke buy this for me?”Gavin, who had overheard Luke’s words, chuckled and replied, “What do you think, ma’am?”“I see,” she said, feeling touched. He always took her words seriously, even her casual remarks.“Ma’am, Mr. Huxley has never cared so much about any woman. You are the only one he truly cares for. Mr. Huxley loves you, but he struggles to express it, so please be understanding. He may appear cold on the surface, but he genuinely likes you,” Gavin said earnestly in defense of Luke.Luke was so emotionally disoriented that Gavin couldn’t help but want to help him. Although he had never had a girlfriend, he had seen many romantic dramas!“Gavin, please call me by m

Jessebelle looked around cautiously and after confirming that no one was paying attention to them, she said solemnly, “Dexie, I found out from my grandmother today that my cousin left a box.”With a perplexed expression, Dexie furrowed her brow and asked, “A box?”“Yes,” Jessebelle approached Dexie with an increasingly serious expression and said in a low voice, “If we find the box, we can uncover the truth.”“How did Mrs. Claire find out?” Dexie asked.Jessebelle lowered her voice and said, “When my cousin and Luke’s older brother had just returned, she left the box and told my grandmother.”Dexie couldn’t help but ask, “Where is that box right now?”“The box is still at the Huxley family’s house.” Looking at Dexie, Jessebelle’s expression was very solemn as she said, “It’s at Barrington Manor of the Huxley family.”“Barrington Manor?” Remembering something, Dexie furrowed her brow slightly.She had once gone to the Huxley family to deliver wine, and it was with Luke at Barrington Ma

Dexie’s family looked back. It was indeed Bleanor. Dario and Jocelyn followed her. They probably also came out today to buy New Year’s gifts. They were dressed in glamorous designer clothes. Compared to Dario and Jocelyn, Dexie’s parents, Howard and Tara, looked very shabby.Dexie felt uncomfortable. She frowned as she looked at Dario and Jocelyn and said, “Dad, Mom.”No matter what, they had raised her for so many years. Howard and Jocelyn seemed to have guessed their identities and awkwardly greeted them. They didn’t know what to do.Eric was no longer smiling at this moment. He stood to the side coldly looking at Paloma.Paloma timidly shouted, “Dad, Mom, brother.”The two elders nodded, but Eric seemed cold and very unhappy.“Dexie, I haven’t seen you in a long time. My parents missed you a lot. What happened last time... was my fault. Now that things have been resolved, how about we reconcile?” He pulled Dexie affectionately.Dexie pushed Paloma’s hand away and said, “Really? Yo

Eric's expression sank as he said coldly, "Mom, are you still thinking about that ungrateful brat?""She is your sister no matter what. Our family is poor, so it's understandable that she doesn't want to acknowledge us," Howard quickly interjected.Thinking back to the day they were invited to attend Paloma's wedding and had an accident as a result, Dexie sighed.Paloma was very lucky. Both her biological parents and her adoptive parents treated her very well.When Eric saw Dexie was silent, he looked at his parents and said, "Stop talking, or Dexie will get angry.""No," Dexie shook her head and said, "You two have raised Paloma for so many years, so you should have affection for her, but... you have also seen that Paloma doesn't want to get involved with us. I have always wanted to come back, but the thought stopped me they only want money and don't want to see me. That's why I... haven't come to see you until now.""Paloma... ah, the poverty of our family marked her mentally. Dexie

To verify that she was being followed, Dexie slowed down and then made another turn at an intersection.But it didn’t matter if she turned left or right, or if she was fast or slow, the car was constantly following her.Dexie looked in the rearview mirror and saw the car following behind. From the passenger seat, a camera lens protruded and frantically took pictures of her license plate.Were they... paparazzi?She felt even more uneasy.She was alone at this moment and being followed by paparazzi. What should she do?She wondered if she should call Luke.She was now facing so many people from the Huxley family. If she called him now for something so trivial, those who already opposed them being together would have even more reasons to object.With the paparazzi following her, it was not convenient for her to go anywhere at that moment.The maid had just said that Dexie could drive this car straight to Barrington Manor.The last time she went to deliver wine, her second-hand car was p

“Using his slightly above-average appearance, he approached Mr. Huxley by unscrupulous means.”An elderly man looked Dexie up and down. His eyes had a disdainful and critical expression, as if to convey that Luke was out of Dexie’s league.The expression in his eyes made Dexie feel very uncomfortable, and she immediately frowned.In the room, five to six elderly people, all between sixty and eighty years old, heard the movement at the door and all looked. Among them, Luke’s father, Victor, was sitting next to Luke. Everyone looked at her with expressions of disdain and disapproval. Victor’s expression was even uglier. With an IV drip hanging next to his hands, he obviously attended the family meeting despite his illness.Dexie’s expression immediately turned ugly. She was really deceived and tricked into coming here.However, who would do such a thing? Dexie’s gaze immediately fell on Ava’s face.Dexie felt she was the most likely suspect.Ava was probably doing this to make things di

The president of the Huxley Group, Luke, had over 100 million followers on Twitter, but had very few posts. His few posts were all articles about the company's major patents or donations. There were no posts about his private life. The occasional photos of Luke in the news magazines were enough to captivate tons of girls.Because of Luke's prominent family background and his bachelor status, it was understandable that he had so many fans despite barely having posts. But today, as soon as he posted on Twitter, within just a few minutes, the comment section below vibrated. Some people started following him, while others unfollowed him.Some blessed him, others cursed him, and some just watched from the sidelines, but since he tagged Dexie, his phone kept ringing at this moment. He had no choice but to turn off his notifications. Luke's Twitter post consisted of a straightforward sentence and a straightforward image. The image was that of his marriage certificates.After tagging Dexie, t

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
