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

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

Upon hearing his words, Dexie didn’t dare to press him further. She tried to free herself with her other hand, but it was in vain. She murmured dissatisfiedly, “Luke, you did it on purpose. You promised...”Luke kissed her forcefully. Grabbing the hand she had just let go of, he placed it on his shoulder. Dexie thought he was making more advances, but he slowly let go and looked at Dexie with affection and joy in his eyes.It was the expression where one’s smile reaches the eyes, as Danny had said.“You, you...” Dexie was still a bit stunned. She bit her lip and huffed, then asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”“In the future, don’t doubt me. Otherwise...” Luke’s eyes cooled down, and he told Dexie, “The punishment wouldn’t be so light.”“Okay, it was my fault.” Dexie pouted and immediately admitted her mistake. This time, it was indeed her fault. Otherwise, Victor wouldn’t have deceived her.“No matter how expensive this ring is, you don’t need to be so careful. If you like
