“He hung up on me," Mrs. Tidson choked, then said reassuringly, "It's a weekday, and he's very busy. He could be in a meeting right now."She looked at her daughter and continued to console her, "Well, let's ask the driver to pick us up first. After work, you can meet him. This time, you can't be as capricious as you were three years ago. Apologize to him."Knowing about the "surrogate" and the "divorce," Narda felt more secure, so she believed her mother's comforting words."I won't apologize to him. I haven't spoken to him in three years. Now that I've initiated the conversation, he has ignored me.Mrs. Tidson noticed her daughter's smile and felt a sense of relief because she knew her words had touched her.If Mrs. Tidson had not known beforehand that Dexie resembled her daughter, and if Solomon hadn't told them that once Luke Huxley found out that Narda had returned, he immediately asked Dexie for a divorce, Mrs. Tidson would not be sure of her future son-in-law.Fortunately, they

Upon hearing this, Dexie sneered, and the ridicule in her eyes was unmistakable. She was determined to become an illegitimate daughter with our family's money. My father is becoming more and more successful. Roy shuddered at the coldness in her tone.In the next moment, Dexie added, "There's no way Rodel would work only at the Hansley Corporation. You should investigate again. Let's see if he has other properties. Find out everything you can and report back to me.""Okay. I'll go to the lab soon. While I'm gone, keep an eye out.""No problem. I've got it covered."When Luke Huxley returned to Winswood Home, it was still early. Hansley had noticed that he had been coming home early in the past few days, which surprised him.She had been working here for over a year, and it was rare to see Mr. Dawson return home so early. However, since Mrs. Dawson moved away, he had come home early several times.Was it true what Mrs. Dawson had mentioned about him hating her so much that she rarely ca

Meanwhile, Sam repeatedly mentioned Luke Huxley in the group chat. Seeing this, Narda suddenly burst into laughter. "Did something beneficial happen? Why are you so happy?" Mrs. Tisdon, who had just entered the living room, noticed her daughter's joyful expression and jokingly attributed it to Luke Huxley's response. Narda handed her the phone and explained, "We caught Luke Huxley's wife having an affair with another man." To notify everyone, Sam shared it in the group chat.Narda couldn't help but feel sorry for Dexie, imagining Luke Huxley's reaction upon seeing the photos. Before, no one had dared humiliate him like this. Even if Luke Huxley didn't have feelings for Dexie, he wouldn't tolerate his ex-wife being with another man. "That's great." Mrs. Tisdon smirked."If Luke Huxley sees these photos, he won't consider remarrying her in the future," she said. Narda, who had been feeling down all day, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope upon seeing Dexie's photos. She scrolled throug

Is there nothing else we can talk about besides the divorce? It had never occurred to her that he would waste his time talking nonsense with Dexie. He had always been too busy for that. "What else is there? It took you a year to find a topic to talk about other than divorce!" He asked with a grimace, her words dripping with sarcasm. She made him choke on her words. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't utter a sound. After all, he had never said more than a word to her this entire year.The fact that he had been forced to marry her always made him lose control and vent his anger on her. He thought that after her grandfather passed away, he could get rid of Dexie. But now, he realizes that letting her go wasn't that simple. His heart would break if she moved away. Faced with Dexie's question, Luke Huxley couldn't say a word. He had always waited for Luke Huxley to talk to him, hoping he would say one more word. It could have made his day. But he no longer had the same expectat

“So... I've tried hard to get out of it, and I don't want to be hurt. Roy, it's too painful for me..." Tears welled up in his eyes. Since he was reborn, he had never seriously considered his relationship with Luke Huxley. But Roy directly addressed the issue that he had been avoiding for many days. When he was at Dominos that day, Luke Huxley asked him if his heart was cold. She replied, "I used to have a warm heart, but he's gone." She used to be very devoted to him. However, he kept distancing himself from her, and gradually, she became drained. Roy didn't expect Dexie to suddenly cry, and he was taken aback. He approached her and tried to comfort her, but he didn't know how to do it. He placed his hand on her shoulder and gently patted her back. "Just forget about him, you deserve better." "Yes. I'll try to forget about it..." Since their phone call that day, Luke Huxley hadn't visited Dexie again. However, Dexie kept calling her lawyer to inquire about when she would sig

“Miss, please learn the rules of driving before arguing with others. You are making a fool of yourself," Dexie said impatiently. Narda didn't take Dexie's words seriously and assumed it was just Dexie being bossy. She hit the back of the car, refusing to admit her hidden hostility towards Dexie and her intention to cause trouble. As Narda recalled Luke Huxley's concern over photos of Dexie with another man, she felt a surge of jealousy, intensifying her hatred for Dexie. Believing she was Luke Huxley's true love, Narda felt superior to Dexie. “You are the one who is wrong here. Are you so stupid not to realize that?" Narda said with a sarcastic smile, her words dripping with contempt and malice. Dexie felt her anger rising at Narda's words. In the past, Narda had played pranks on Luke Huxley because Dexie had refused to divorce him. Dexie had made many foolish decisions out of concern for Luke Huxley, and now she realized she could have handled things differently. Pushing aside h

As a compliant husband, he agreed with his wife on everything, and since she didn't like Narda, he didn't either.Marilyn was kind to Dexie, so Simon agreed with her.Simon no longer cared or fretted about Luke Huxley's foolish decisions. He believed Luke would be foolish if he defended his ex-girlfriend over his ex-wife.Dexie met Simon's gaze as he approached her.After a moment,."Simon!" she shouted.As she called out Simon's name, Luke Huxley looked at her.Somehow, he appeared less frustrated than before, with a hint of a smile on his face. However, Dexie was oblivious to this change in his demeanor."What is really happening?" Simon then inquired.Narda, standing beside Luke Huxley, glanced at Simon, thinking, "Do you not believe me?" She covered her swollen cheek and tearfully asked, "Simon, don't you believe me?""No," Simon replied with a grim expression.Narda felt embarrassed and hurt by Simon's blunt response.With tears in her eyes, she continued to play the victim: "Simo

Simon didn't think Luke Huxley would do that. Narda could no longer find an excuse for herself, so she had to act with firmness. She took out her phone. "I haven't really learned the rules, and I have even angered your wife. I'm going to call the insurance company now." She dialed the insurance company's number.That's when the men Dexie had called arrived.They determined that Narda was entirely responsible for the accident and waited for her men to complete the procedures. Simon was eager to return to dinner with his wife, so he gave them the key to Dexie's car and suggested leaving."Let's go then."Luke Huxley had no intention of staying either, which disheartened Narda. However, she didn't give up even when she saw him leaving. She called out to him, and when he turned around, he appeared calm and emotionless, treating her as if she were a stranger.Realizing that she had lost the pride she once had, she couldn't help but clench her fists."My boys aren't here yet. Are you leavi

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...

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
