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
Luke turned his head, looked at Dexie with a meaningful look in his eyes, then chuckled and said, "If I attack her now... How can I know who is behind her?""Do you mean you want to catch the person behind her?" Dexie's eyes lit up, and she looked at Luke as if she had realized something.Luke nodded and told Dexie, "Even if Ava is clever and my dad loves her, her power is limited. It would be difficult for her to act alone, and she couldn't have done many things alone. There must be someone conspiring with her. She knows I have never liked her, so after my dad dies, she won't have anyone to support her. Therefore, she must drive me away and join hands with someone else."After hearing Luke say this, Dexie thought for a moment and then said, "In that case, her accomplice should be a big shot. Otherwise, there is no way you can't find them."Luke frowned and said, "Yes, so now, I will give her a brief lesson, but I won't overdo it. We can't alarm her or her accomplice before the right
