“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 d
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
Seeing him like that, Dexie couldn’t help but take a step back and looked at him defensively while saying, “You... what did you say?”“What? My wife, do you have hearing problems?” Luke arched his eyebrows and said with a smile as he looked at Dexie.Not daring to make eye contact with Luke, Dexie stammered, “Luke, I told you not to call me that, and besides, I am not your wife.” She quickly lowered her head. With both hands pulling at the hem of her clothes, she didn’t dare to look at Luke at all.“Hmm... We already got the marriage certificate, so if you’re not my wife, what are you?” Luke chuckled and whispered in her ear.Dexie quickly raised her head and looked at Luke as she said, “But, didn’t you say... that you wouldn’t pressure me until I’m ready?”Luke said, “So you... don’t want to?”Dexie was about to refuse, but when she raised her head and looked at Luke, she saw him looking at her with pity. He seemed especially aggrieved. Dexie didn’t dare to say the words on the tip
“What....”Dexie thought he was going to make a move on her, so she gasped, but Luke just planted a kiss on her forehead and said, “Stop screaming. I won’t touch you. I’m exhausted today.”While holding Dexie, he fell asleep after a while.That day was exhausting.Holding Dexie’s body felt very comfortable. Her clothes were soft, and she was soft too. She also had a slight scent of shower gel and shampoo. It felt very nice to smell the fragrance while embracing her soft body, so he fell asleep after a while.The next morning, Dexie and Luke woke up to the sound of someone sniffing.Dexie rubbed her eyes, stretched her waist, and saw Luke beside her. After a while, she realized what was happening. Luke smiled at her and gave her a kiss on the forehead.Before Dexie could feel embarrassed, she heard a jealous snort.Luke and Dexie snapped back to their senses. They turned their heads and saw Danny, who had been standing at the foot of the bed at some point, looking at them. He had tears
Danny's words were very coherent, so Dexie understood what was happening immediately."Why doesn't Mrs. Miller like you?" Dexie thought Ava looked very kind on the surface.She seemed hypocritical.But children didn't understand hypocrisy at all. People like Ava usually pleased children.Even if Danny was distant, he wouldn't say he didn't like Ava for no reason.Danny's fingers played with the wings of the Lego plane he had just inserted as he looked thoughtfully at Dexie. After a moment of silence, he seemed to think of something and said with a serious expression on his face, "Mrs. Miller's eyes never smile. Only when Dad and Grandpa were here, she smile at me and give me food, but her eyes never smiled. She wouldn't smile when Dad and Grandpa weren't here. Mommy, is she smiling falsely?"After Danny said that, Dexie didn't know how to respond.Danny was so young, but his heart was pure.A child like him could feel who treated him well and who deserved him.Dexie was stunned and co
Dexie was not scared or intimidated. She looked Victor in the eyes calmly and composed, then said in a respectful and confident tone, "Mr. Huxley, hello."Because of her confident way of addressing him, Victor couldn't help but feel a little impressed, and appreciation shone in his eyes. At least she had a sense of decorum and manners."Miss Hansley, what do you think of the paintings here?" Victor nodded slightly, then looked at Dexie and suddenly asked that question. Surprised, Dexie looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect him to ask her that question.Although she didn't know how to respond, Dexie nodded and said sincerely, "The paintings here... all the paintings are exquisite."Victor smiled and said, "Many of these are very rare. Which one is your favorite?" This question was even more puzzling. Was he trying to test her ability to recognize paintings by asking this question? Or maybe he was just asking casually? She still felt he had a hidden motive.Dexie smiled and said,
“Miss Hansley, are you willing to understand the difficulties of an old man like me?”He forced a smile and said, “My oldest son had ruined himself. Despite his extraordinary nature, he harbored a fondness for a common woman. That woman was solely focused on accumulating wealth for our family. I suppose they shared hobbies, but they weren’t compatible. He lacked the qualifications to find love in his life. Marriage for the Huxley family members is about securing their family’s future prosperity, and the same fate befell him.”Victor sighed deeply and continued, “Marriage between families of blue blood of equal prominence and prestige has never been about prejudices, nor is it outdated. If two individuals come from vastly different backgrounds, their education and worldliness will be significantly different. There will be no happiness between two incompatible people.”As she waited for him to continue, Dexie remained silent.Victor continued, “Miss Hansley, you’re smart enough to know
