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

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

Luke’s smile slowly frozen.He looked at Dexie in shock, and after a long time, he forced a smile and said, “What’s wrong with you?”Dexie realized she had lost her composure.So what?Feeling an indescribable sadness and pain, she couldn’t stop her tears from falling. Her feelings for Luke made her feel sad and depressed.“Luke, I don’t want your ring, and I don’t want your affection.” Tears kept flowing from Dexie’s eyes, and she looked extremely aggrieved.Luke didn’t know how to console her. Dexie seemed even more aggrieved, and her tears kept falling as she said, “Take off this ring.”Luke could feel her strong resistance. She wasn’t just being shy or attempting to get it. She truly felt resistant and heartbroken.What’s going on? He frowned as he saw how emotional Dexie was, a

Luke felt a sharp pain in his heart as Dexie’s words hit him like ton of bricks. “So, you’re saying you never wanted me, never liked me. It was all because I pressured you, and you couldn’t say no because of who I am,” she said, her voice filled with hurt and accusation.Dexie’s revelation, his expression, a mix of shock and anguish, took Luke aback. Dexie struggled to nod in agreement, admitting, “Yes, you never gave me a choice. From the moment I applied for the job, you didn’t allow me to refuse.”Luke was incredulous and asked, “Are you certain this is true? You had no feelings for me?”Dexie, tears streaming down her face, replied, “Luke, it’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that you don’t like me!” Her words were laced with sorrow and disappointment.&nbs

Her laughter made Dexie, who was crying, freeze. Then she frowned and pouted, looking at Luke angrily.“Luke, don’t laugh,” she said.“I... pfft hahaha... were you mad just because of that? I really can’t help it,” Luke replied. He tried to suppress his laughter to be more serious, but seeing Dexie’s face, he couldn’t help but laugh.He raised his head and burst out laughing, saying, “Dexie, I always thought you were a smart girl, but I didn’t expect to have overestimated you so much. Haha...”As Luke spoke, he continued to snort.Dexie frowned and glared at Luke as she roared, “Luke!”Luke snorted and said, “My bad, but I couldn’t help it. Tell me honestly, did you think I treated you like anyone else?”Upon hearing Luke address such a serious matter so trivially and seeing the cheerful

After a smaller painting replaced the original one, a clear contrast was clear. Ava and Victor, driven by impatience, had not considered the consequences but were eager for Dexie to see the painting before it was too late. This impulsive decision led to a careless mistake.Unaware that Dexie would take a photo in that moment, they were surprised when she did. Jessebelle had previously informed Dexie about her cousin, which prompted her to take the picture as proof. Despite her distress, she sensed something amiss and wanted to provide proof for Jessebelle to prevent Luke from denying the truth.To everyone’s surprise, the photo became crucial evidence that shed light on the situation. Luke patiently waited for Dexie to inspect it before nonchalantly asking, “Did you see it clearly?”In a state of disbelief, Dexie looked up at Luke and q

When Luke went to fetch the photo a moment ago, he didn’t pay attention at all. Resolving the misunderstanding brought her relief. As Luke spoke to her, he glanced around and sensed something was amiss. On the upper floor of the corner shelf were some boxes of different sizes and materials. The ones on top were probably not commonly used, but only one was locked. Dexie’s expression suddenly turned serious.She never expected to find the box so easily. The box appeared to be Jessebelle’s description of shape and material. Among the many boxes present, Luke had only closed this one, showing its importance. Dexie’s heart raced, feeling as though it might burst out of her chest at any moment. She was extremely nervous. Lowering her head and clenching her fists, she tried to calm herself down. Struggling to suppress her emotions, she reminded herself not to show her nerves, lest Luke notice. Taking a deep breath, she raised her head, her expression neutral.As if nothing had happened, she

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
