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

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

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

Dexie’s face fell instantly. Looking at Paloma, she said in an indifferent voice:“Paloma, what mischief are you up to now? Did you forget the lesson from before?”Dexie had already taught her a lesson after the previous incident, but Paloma still had no intention of repenting at all. Dexie didn’t know why Paloma suddenly became so bold, and it was truly puzzling.“Dexie, I don’t want to harm you. I just really wanted to see you today, so please don’t reject me.” Paloma smiled and looked at Dexie with feigned sincerity, then said with a serious expression on her face: “Now you are Luke’s wife, so having a good relationship with you will benefit me. My dear sister, how could I bother you?”Paloma’s words caught Dexie a bit off guard. After a moment of silence, she looked at Paloma and said, “How did you get in?”She didn’t believe what Paloma had said. How could she make a special trip if she wasn’t trying to cause trouble? She must have an agenda.“I only knew that this was the Huxley

As she entered the room, Paloma murmured, “Dexie, I’m just going to look at your room.”“Why are you so stingy?”The room was luxuriously decorated and fully equipped with the best facilities. Next to the bathroom and bedroom, there was a vast wardrobe filled with the most fashionable clothes, shoes, and bags, as well as limited edition luxury bags and jewelry. Her wardrobe alone was bigger than Paloma’s entire room combined. With so many limited edition luxury items, the clothes and jewelry inside were comparable to those in a luxury store. The store casually displayed rare limited edition products, rarely seen even in fashion magazines, one by one.Paloma once again felt overwhelmed by envy and resentment.When she first arrived at the Hansley family’s house, when she discovered she had such an exquisite room for the first time, she thought she had the best things in the world, and she believed that if she could live with those things, she would be the happiest girl in the world, bu

Paloma screamed louder and louder. If this continued, she could attract the attention of the guests. Dexie frowned and stepped forward to grab Paloma’s hand, saying, “Have you had enough? Get up quickly.”“Help-“As soon as Dexie touched Paloma, she screamed. She fought so desperately that she almost stopped Dexie.“Boom...”As Paloma frantically waved her arms, a potted plant fell from the balcony, making a crunching sound.Below the balcony, there was grass covered in snow because the building was so high, the pot still shattered into pieces.After the servant waiting below heard such a loud noise from upstairs, he hurriedly asked Dexie, “Madam? Are you okay?”Dexie frowned and didn’t know how to respond at that moment.When Paloma heard the servant below asking this, she quickly shouted, “Someone come help me! He’s going to kill me! He wants to push me down!”Dexie couldn’t take it anymore and coldly yelled at Paloma, “Shut up! Are you crazy? How could he kill you? Paloma, enough.

A bathroom and a hallway separate the study room from the balcony. The two balconies were unconnected, yet there was no balcony separating them. They were adjacent, and the distance between them was about ten meters. I didn’t know when Danny appeared or how much he had seen. My first concern was whether Danny was scared, and if that would traumatize him and worsen his autism. I didn’t even think about the fact that he could serve as a witness.Danny seemed terrified. He looked at Dexie with shock. When Dexie called him, he seemed to suddenly snap back to reality, but the next moment, he burst into tears, and his eyes were filled with fear. Dexie’s heart sank when she saw Danny was truly scared.“Danny, it’s okay. Mommy is here, so come out.” Dexie couldn’t help but feel her heart ache. She blamed herself for being too careless and scaring Danny so much.As she spoke, she hurried to the study room. Danny hid in the balcony’s corner. As he sat there, he looked at Dexie with fear and ref

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... Quenti

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
