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“Marriage between families of blue blood of equal prominence and prestige has never been about prejudices, nor is it outdated.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

Dexie made eye contact with Victor fearlessly, then smiled and said, “Even if it is so, I have no complaints or regrets. Don’t worry, Mr. Huxley, I have never been someone who values material wealth over freedom. I will prove it.”The expression in Victor’s eyes suggested Dexie was slightly impressed, but he then forced a smile and said, “To be honest, if your family background had been better, I might have accepted this marriage.” You appear brave and unique, but, although you appear meek, you are actually a very proud person. I think when you discover the truth, you will definitely not stay and be a substitute for someone else.”He paused for a moment and said, “Since you are so determined, and today is New Year’s Eve, let’s treat it as if we had said nothing and celebrated the New Year.”Dexie also smiled calmly and nodded slightly when she said, “I came here specifically to invite you, so I also want to thank you for putting a face on me.”Victor nodded and said, “You can go first

It was a message sent from that number since the last time.Although it was from a familiar number, the information surprised Dexie."Unexpectedly, you went from being a lover to his official wife so quickly. I saw you that day and you were not remarkable, but it turns out I underestimated you."A short sentence revealed the identity of the other party and made Dexie's curse so incomplete.Dexie's expression turned ugly. She immediately suppressed her emotions to regain composure.Everyone was present at this moment, so Dexie couldn't let her expression reveal things."Danny, shall we go out for some fresh air?" Dexie pulled Danny and said, "It's boring to watch them play cards."Danny sat on the carpet and played chess with her. Upon hearing Dexie's words, he instinctively shook his head.Dexie casually put the phone in her pocket and said nonchalantly, "I'll go for a walk. Whoever wins later, I'll make a cup of tea when I come back."They laughed and asked her to come back quickly.

At the head of the bedroom, there was a brightly colored portrait. The brushstroke was skillful and the description was vivid. On the canvas, the beautiful woman on the swing looked surprisingly realistic.Those eyes seemed to look directly at Dexie. If Dexie hadn’t looked closer, she would have even thought it was a photo and not a painting.However, it was just that... the painting on this canvas, or the person in this painting, deeply shocked her.The person in the oil painting really looked like Dexie. Whether in terms of aura or appearance, the person in the painting was surprisingly similar to Dexie.Even Dexie felt that the woman in the painting was an older version of herself. With a peaceful expression, the woman in the painting smiled kindly and virtuously.Her eyes sparkled. She must have loved the man who painted her because her eyes were full of affection. She was so surprised that she didn’t come to her senses for a long time. She slowly approached the painting.Her eyes

With that said, he ran towards the reception building's dining room. Luke shook his head helplessly, snapped his fingers, and Gavin immediately appeared behind him. Luke walked towards the reception building's dining room, and Gavin followed him, asking, "Mr. Huxley, do you have any instructions?" Luke replied, "See what he said to Dexie."He still felt that something was wrong after Dexie returned from there. Her expression was even more abnormal after she left this afternoon.Gavin frowned and told Luke, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to verify. Mr. Huxley lives in his brother's old building, and we cannot approach. All listening devices and surveillance cameras inside have been removed, and we can only ask the surrounding people, but they are silent, and if Mr. Huxley said something, it was in private."Luke understood the meaning behind Gavin's words. Nodding slightly, he said to Gavin, "Alright, try it. If you can't find out... forget it.""Okay, I'll let Melvin try."Gavin no
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 244
Ava had been married to a member of the Huxley family for many years, but she had not yet been added to the family tree. The Huxley family was a true blue-blooded family that had been established for thousands of years. Regardless of the era, they had always been the wealthiest family. The rules of the Huxley family dictated that none of the heirs could be involved in politics, and in case of any natural disaster or war, they would donate half of their assets. The family rules were strictly upheld, and all future generations were also required to follow the rules.Although Ava had married Victor and might inherit Victor’s wealth in the future, she was not qualified to enter the family tree. Only the first wife of the head of the Huxley family and the children of the first wife could enter the Huxley family tree. Even if there were other women, whether mistresses or second wives, they were not eligible. Even if, under pressure or for the benefit of the family, one married another woma

While eating, the two eldest in the William family, William and Eric, were not familiar with proper etiquette. Victor told Luke, “Teach them. Miss Hansley grew up in the Hansley family, so her habits are probably different from ours.”His words sounded polite on the surface, but he was actually implying that Dexie also came from a humble family, so she probably didn’t understand dinner etiquette either. However, before Victor could finish his words, he saw Dexie stacking the table napkins in her lap, gently lifting the wineglass in front of her, pouring a glass of red wine for Eric, and saying, “Brother, have a drink.” Victor and Ava were taken aback.Each of her movements and gestures was elegant, as if she had an innate air of sophistication. Dexie’s aura and behavior puzzled them. Her parents were from the slums, so how could she be so outstanding? But their amazement only lasted a moment. They pu
