Chapter 247
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.

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

Dexie didn’t understand Jocelyn’s words and said, “Mom, ugh... even though we have a marriage certificate, our relationship is still unstable. I just plan to visit you two alone and greet you both on New Year’s Day.”“Dexie, don’t worry. Even though the Hansley family is declining, we don’t want to have an advantage over you. However, you will eventually tie the knot, and it’s important to remember that you should marry him as the daughter of the Hansley family. You can’t marry him as the daughter of the William family. It’s not that I look down on them, but there really is a sizeable gap. Although the Hansley family is not as prominent, at least we are better off than the William family. Identity and status matter. I know you don’t like your sister, so don’t worry. I won’t let her come down tomorrow,” Jocelyn said seriously.“Don’t worry, our family has come to this point, so we feel regretful and guilty for what we did in the past. Paloma has been away from home for so many years, s

The speaker was none other than Ava.Dexie turned her head and looked at Ava with disgust. Ava was luxuriously dressed. She was slowly climbing the stairs, and when she saw Dexie, she chuckled lightly. Her expression was indifferent as she said, “Danny likes you so much. Not only did he give you his gifts, but yesterday he also said he would give you his trust fund.”Her tone was mocking, but there was a smile on her face, as if it were a casual joke among close relatives. If Dexie lost her temper at this moment, she would seem petty.Dexie frowned. Before she could respond, Danny frowned, snorted, and said, “Are you trying to say that mom is trying to deceive us and dad’s money?”After Danny was found to have autism, this was the first time Ava heard Danny speak to her. She immediately looked at Danny in shock and didn’t know how to respond.Danny wrinkled his nose, his face full of dissatisfaction. He snorted softly and told Ava, “You’re a villain. Do you think everyone deceives peo

For a while, she didn’t even know what to do.Dexie wondered, Where was the key?She left the box, looked around, and searched the boxes beside her, but found nothing.She even opened drawers and various cabinet doors, but found no key.None of the other places were locked, and even some important documents from Luke’s company were unlocked.
