Chapter 249
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 252: Danny's Heartfelt Gesture
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 253: Dexie's Strategic Moves
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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 254: Dexie's Suspicions
On the first day of the New Year, that woman sent Dexie so many text messages that if Dexie didn’t send one back, it would seem too rude.After putting a handful of freshly peeled pine nuts on the plate in front of Danny, Dexie picked up her phone and quickly typed a text message.Danny asked incoherently while eating pine nuts, “Mom, are you texting someone?”Dexie nodded and said, “Yes, just some New Year greetings.”“Oh.” Danny nodded in understanding and asked no more questions.After writing the text message, Dexie checked it again before sending it.The content of the message was: I still don’t know who you are. Is your identity too mysterious, or does Luke care little about your existence?Dexie didn’t know the woman at all; she only briefly met her last time, so she knew nothing about her.However, after many text exchanges, Dexie believed that this woman must possess a very proud personality, regardless of how much she enjoyedLuke’s ego must be deeply wounded as Dexie took o
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 255: Dexie's Search for the Key
Click.The sound of a metal collision brought Dexie back to reality in an instant.Why did she overlook the locked box?All the other boxes were unlocked, but only this box was locked.Dexie furrowed her brow. 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. Luke simply placed them on the desk or in the cabinet.She picked up the small brass lock and looked at it again, but still found nothing.There was no key.Dexie wondered what she should do.She found the box but couldn’t locate the key. Dexie pondered, Should she take the box and leave?No, she had already aroused Luke’s suspicions the night before, and this box was special because it was the only locked one. Luke, being a shrewd individua
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 256: Luke's Kindness and Consideration
Ava gave a slight snort of anger before exclaiming, “How else could it be?” I thought it would be a good time, since that poor girl had taken that boy to lunch and the servants had been dismissed. In the study room. On New Year’s, she said she wanted to read. She must be plotting something.“Don’t worry about other people’s affairs and think of a way to get those files quickly.” The voice on the other end of the phone turned colder, and when speaking to Ava, the tone was vulgar.Ava was surprised for a moment, and a flash of hatred shone in her eyes.Since she married Victor, no one has dared to speak to her like that, except Victor and Luke.However, she did not display any signs of disgust on her face. She took a deep breath and tried to keep smiling while talking to the person on the other end of the phone. “Don’t worry, this matter pertains to my own interests, and Luke’s position is detrimental to my interests, so I know what to do.”The voice of the person on the other end of th

Dexie froze for a moment, then looked at Luke with some surprise and said, “What you mean is that people there will speak ill of me?”Luke said, “With me there, no one will give you a hard time, but in case it happens, you don’t need to be polite.”Luke took Dexie’s hand with a serious expression and said, “Don’t worry, from now on, you are a member of the Huxley family, so no one will dare to give you a hard time.”Dexie took a deep breath, nodded, and said, “I see.”Danny squeezed in between them. Holding Dexie’s hand with one hand, he said seriously, “I can protect you, mommy.”The expression in his eyes was very serious and firm as he nodded.Luke glared at him and said, “Rascal, are you now competing for her affection?”Dexie rubbed Danny’s head, which felt soft. She couldn’t help but laugh and say, “I’m glad Danny behaves so well.”After receiving Dexie’s compliment, Danny had a smile on his face. He turned his head and looked at Luke with a rather smug expression, as if to expr
