Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 230
“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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 231
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 236
“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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 237
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

Gavin replied, “Yes.”He felt a little confused. Outside of family gatherings, the most frequent visitors to the Huxley family were the company executives. Luke never needed to give specific instructions. However, today he gave specific instructions. Who was the guest?However, Gavin only thought about it to himself and didn’t dare say it out loud.Dexie looked at Luke with a smile on her face and said, “Can we go downstairs for breakfast now?”Luke looked at her with a bitter expression on his face as he said, “I’m in a hurry to go to the office.”“Aren’t you going to eat?” Dexie froze for a moment and inquired.Luke nodded and said, “I still have something to do in the office.”“But... I got up really early and was busy all morning,” Dexie said, raising her head in a somewhat aggrieved manner and giving Luke a pitying look. Are you truly planning to skip breakfast?Luke stopped and said, “You and Danny should eat.”When she saw him like that, Dexie knew what was on his mind. She sai

When Dexie woke up, her body ached. A nurse removed the needle from her hand and, when she opened her eyes, she asked in surprise, “Miss Hansley, are you awake?” Dexie wanted to move but had no strength left.Even after struggling for a while, she still couldn’t get up. The nurse hurriedly said, “Don’t move; I’ll get you some water and help you up.”She used cotton swabs and tape to press the needle tube she had just removed from Dexie’s hand. Dexie was leaning on soft pillows when she turned to pour water and asked, “Miss Hansley, are you hungry?”Dexie was still a bit dazed, and instead of responding to the nurse’s words, she asked, “What happened to me?” The nurse said, “You had a very high fever. Thankfully, early detection prevented disastrous consequences.”It turned out she had a fever. The day before, she went out to look for Danny and came back drenched. She felt uncomfortable and had no strength left before going to bed at night, but she didn’t expect it to be so serious. Su

Perhaps it was the serious and sincere expression in his eyes that caused Danny to look at Dexie with a hint of doubt.Dexie let out a sigh of relief, then told Danny to lie down and said, “Sleep for a while. You need more rest to get better.”Danny nodded, but he was still a little worried, so he looked at Dexie.Dexie got up, covered him with the blanket, then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Danny’s forehead. With a smile, she said, “Go to sleep. Mommy will come back to my room once you’re asleep.”Danny nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.After closing his eyes for a moment, as if he were still worried, he opened his eyes and looked at Dexie again.He felt relieved to see Dexie still looking at him with a smile.Dexie smiled and said, “Go to sleep.”Danny nodded. Dexie stroked the bed covers over him while humming a lullaby. Danny was exhausted, so he soon fell asleep.After Danny fell asleep, Dexie let out a sigh of relief and stood up.After experiencing intense an

She was busy in the kitchen. After preparing the food, she went upstairs to see if the doctor had finished bandaging him. As soon as she exited the kitchen, she witnessed Gavin dismissing the doctor. Only a nurse remained at home. Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes as she listened to the doctor’s instructions.Dexie hurried upstairs to see if Danny had woken up.This time, Victor was guarding Danny. He seemed to wait for Dexie. He looked at Dexie coldly and said in a frosty tone, “Miss Hansley, put the things at the door and let the servants in later to deliver them.”He addressed her as Miss Hansley in a polite and distant tone.Dexie had a terrible feeling in her heart and said, “Mr. Huxley, I know you must hate me now, but Danny has a special condition and cannot eat when someone else feeds him. It’s better to let me in. After he recovers, you can deal with me.”Her voice was very hoarse.As she descended the mountain today, she was shouting Danny’s name and crying uncontrollably. Th
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 319: Danny is Injured
Dexie clenched her teeth and gazed in her direction. At that moment, she couldn’t be overly aggressive. Everyone believed she was the one who made Danny flee and sustain injuries. They and Luke might not let her in if she was too confrontational now. She believed she couldn’t take any chances.Dexie took a deep breath and looked at Ava. After trying to calm down, she said to Ava, “Mrs. Huxley, we can discuss who would be responsible later. Luke won’t let me off easily, so don’t stand in my way. I want to go in and see how Danny is. Since there are so many people inside, I can’t do anything to help Danny. I just want to see him. Besides, you have no right to stop me.”Ava scoffed at Dexie and said, “I am Danny’s grandmother and a member of the Huxley family, so why don’t I stop you? You are not welcome here and cannot enter under any circumstances. Luke also told you to leave. Now that Danny has been found, why are you still here?”Dexie was about to speak when the room’s door opened.
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 318: Danny is Found
Dexie took a deep breath, climbed the stairs, and left her bag in the room. She put on a pair of sturdy, non-slip snow boots and a thick down jacket, then grabbed her thermos and headed out the back door where Danny had also left.The warm water was for Danny to drink. When they found him, he would probably want to drink water.Dexie took a flashlight just in case, then went out the door.She was very careful as she walked along the road. She scrutinized the ground for footprints and the branches on either side for any clues left by Danny.Even though she was anxious, she needed to calm down. Finding Danny was the most important thing.After walking for a few minutes, she saw two small paths in front of her. Suddenly she froze in place and hesitated.She wondered, Which path did he take?Although Danny had autism, he was smarter and more contemplative than normal children. Dexie felt she couldn’t try to understand based on common sense, but should think, if I were Danny... what would
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 317: In Search of Danny
As soon as Ava’s voice lowered, Dexie glanced at Gavin and asked, “How is the search going? Has Danny left this mountain?”Gavin looked at Luke and saw that he was still expressionless. He sighed and, without hiding it anymore, said, “We sent people to search and sent a drone, but... Danny is nowhere to be found. They have checked several checkpoints at the exit and consulted with the security guards. Danny never... Unless Danny escaped by climbing a wall at the foot of a mountain, he must still be on the mountain.”After Gavin’s statement, Dexie became even more concerned. She frowned and asked, “Are there no surveillance cameras? Look for surveillance footage and see what happened.”Gavin sighed and said, “except inside and outside the mansion, only a few mountain paths have cameras.” There aren’t many trails, and the nature of the mountain makes it impossible to install surveillance cameras everywhere.Dexie inquired once more, “What is the duration of his absence?”Gavin said, “It

After Dexie spoke with Jessebelle and Noah, it was almost three-thirty. Seeing the time, she said, “It’s time for me to go back.”Noah said, “Alright, be careful and understand that your own safety is the most important, no matter what happens.”Dexie nodded and said, “I know.”Dexie had only driven a few hundred meters after parting ways with the siblings.Gavin called. Dexie was in a positive mood, so she answered the phone and asked with a smile, “Gavin, since you’re calling me now, could it be that you found something in the investigation?”Dexie was in a positive mood, but Gavin said with a desperate voice, “Ma’am, please come back soon. Danny is missing.”“What?” Dexie’s tone changed, and her heart started beating wildly.“Danny ran away on his own. We’ve been searching for a long time, but we still haven’t found him. Even though it’s not snowing, the outside temperature is extremely low, and the road remains icy. There are mountain roads outside, so I’m afraid that Danny might

Danny’s expression was angry, and he frowned as he said, “Mom said she would be home before 3 o’clock. She broke her promise.”Ava sighed, with a look of distress on her face, and said, “Really? How could she break her promise? That’s unacceptable!”Danny seemed even more upset when he heard Ava’s words and said in a plaintive tone, “Mom promised me, so why hasn’t she come back? Did she fight with dad again?”Ava sighed and said, “She might not return, but she might have promised to be home before 3 o’clock just to console you.”I heard she promised you yesterday, but then she disappeared. She may have returned out of sympathy after seeing your tears. Danny, don’t feel too sad about it. Even if she’s not here, I can love you.”Danny shook his head with a look of grievance and said, “No, I want mom.”Ava repeated, “But... she’s not coming back, are you going to go out looking for her?”After hesitating for a while, Danny said calmly, “I... want to call mom.”Ava sighed and told Danny,
