Upon hearing Luke say that, Dexie’s heart sank. Even Luke believed Dexie had pushed Paloma.Because their relationship wasn’t positive, it wasn’t a matter of trust or distrust. Therefore, if there was an argument, it wasn’t impossible for Dexie to accidentally push Paloma.After Luke made this statement, he genuinely believed Dexie had pushed Paloma. He didn’t want to investigate further; he simply wanted to quickly resolve the matter.However, all the elders present were not willing to let the matter settle. Some hot-tempered elders were clamoring for a simple investigation. Luke’s face fell, and he was about to lose his temper. But a young man who somewhat resembled Luke emerged from the crowd.He approached Luke and said, “Luke, let’s investigate, or else people will misunderstand... and everyone will be dissatisfied.”Luke frowned, and Dexie stood up slowly. The young man nodded towards Dexie and smiled slightly.Luke said, “This is my cousin, Quentin Huxley.”Dexie nodded and pol
Dvlan burst into laughter immediately and said to Dexie seriously, “Why should I doubt you? I believe you wouldn’t hide this kind of thing from me, and there’s really no need to conceal it.”Dexie sighed in relief and said, “But if we investigate now, it will only make the situation worse. If I admit it publicly... it will minimize the negative impact of the matter. I’ve thought about it. I could start by apologizing to her.”“No way.”Before Dexie’s words could fall, Luke interrupted, saying, “You are my woman. How can you let a scheming bitch like Paloma harm you?”“So... are there surveillance cameras nearby?” Dexie asked.Luke shook his head and said, “There are no surveillance cameras in the owners’ residences or in private places. The only way is to let Paloma admit it.”“Let her admit it herself? Why would she admit it herself?” Dexie frowned and said, “She created this elaborate plan and isn’t even afraid to risk her life to frame you. Why would she contradict herself in publi
Without knowing how to respond, Paloma stammered as she said, “You...”Ava snorted coldly and said, “You have guts. You dare to incriminate a Huxley family member!” Everyone present was incredible.Abruptly, she rephrased her statement, asserting that she had fallen independently, and attempted to implicate Dexie in her fall.It was just that if she did this out of envy, then why did she suddenly change her words again?Dexie also felt very puzzled. Paloma took a significant risk, even putting her life in danger, but then abruptly changed her mind.None of this made sense. She couldn’t help but wonder what Luke had whispered in her ear.As soon as Ava’s words fell, Paloma hurriedly reached out and grabbed the hem of Dexie’s clothes. With tears in her eyes, she said, “Dexie, I was wrong. It was my fault. Please forgive me. I regret it. I won’t dare to do it again. I was envious of you. I should be cursed. I heard that today was an important day for the Huxley family, so I thought that
“I’ve already informed her, and she will understand when she inquires.” Don’t worry, she won’t drag the Hansley family down. You can see her when you visit the hospital.A bit exasperated, Dexie rubbed her temples and told Jocelyn, “Mom, I won’t go to the Hansley family’s house tomorrow. It would be inconvenient because you will be at the hospital.”“Dexie, you need to return as soon as Paloma leaves the hospital.” Since things have come to this point, Jocelyn couldn’t say much.She sighed and apologized to Dexie, “Dexie, it was all my fault. In the past, because she was the lost daughter of your father and me, we were biased towards her. We didn’t expect her doing so, and as a result, you endured many grievances because of our actions.”Dexie felt a mix of emotions in her heart. She sighed and said, “Mom, you’re exaggerating.” In the past, I used to be insensitive and ignorant. Now, I understand everything, but..."After a brief pause, Dexie sighed and solemnly told Jocelyn, “However
Luke scratched his lips with his fingertips and looked at Dexie’s plump lips, as if he were remembering the feeling of that kiss at that moment. The lustful expression in his eyes made Dexie feel very uncomfortable. She bit her lip and, after stepping back, said, “If you try anything funny again, I’ll be angry.”Luke nodded hurriedly and said, “I’ll tell you now, but... are you sure you don’t want to go see Danny first? This is a long story.”Dexie frowned and said, “How can it be a long story? I saw you whispering to her for a few seconds. It was just a sentence or two. How can it be so long?”Luke said, “It was a sentence, but there’s more. If I don’t explain it clearly, you won’t know what I’m talking about, so...”He raised his eyebrows, as if asking Dexie if she understood what he meant. After he said this, Dexie nodded slowly and said, “Okay, I understand. Let’s go see Danny first.”Luke promised her, not to break his word. Now, he was more concerned about Danny.When they went
Luke’s words surprised Dexie. She looked at him in disbelief as he said, “Dead?”Luke nodded. His expression was very solemn as he said, “A few years ago, she was actually engaged to my older brother.”“What?” Dexie was completely stunned, and she looked at Luke with astonishment on her face. What kind of situation was this? A few years ago, Luke’s fiancée had been engaged to Vincent?“Wait a minute, tell me more about this.”Dexie swallowed hard. This information was too shocking. She looked at Luke incredulously and asked, “You mean... she used to be your older brother’s fiancée?”Luke nodded and said, “Yes.”Goodness, can blue-blooded families get any more complicated? This was more suspenseful and scandalous than TV and movie plots!Dexie couldn’t help but ask again, “But wasn’t there a rumor that your older brother liked Danny’s mom?”This time, she didn’t mention it out of jealousy or gossip, but simply because she was too surprised. This matter was so complicated.Luke nodded a
“Besides, I think the Huxley family is not an attainable target,” Dexie said. “If she were so shamelessly unscrupulous, I probably wouldn’t be alive right now.”Dexie’s words immediately made Luke feel better. He nodded and said, “Yes, she doesn’t have the guts, and her family won’t allow her to go against the Huxley family. Offending the Huxley family would also be detrimental to them. We don’t know what will happen after she becomes the family head, so I need to be stronger to protect you.”Luke touched Dexie, who lowered her head to avoid making eye contact. She was afraid of crying, and Luke would laugh at her.With a serious expression on her face, Dexie said, “Luke, I will also become more powerful; so powerful that others cannot hurt me.”“Originally, I thought it wasn’t the right time, and we shouldn’t announce the news of our marriage to prevent her or the Huxley family from hurting you, but you lost your temper and left home last time, and then there was that Twitter post in
After answering Eric’s call, Dexie said with a smile, “Eric, we’ll be back soon.”On the other end of the phone, Eric’s voice was anxious as he said, “Dexie, go to the hospital, Dad is sick.”Dexie’s expression changed, and she asked, “What’s wrong with Dad?”Eric’s tone was very concerned as he said, “He suddenly felt unwell. Let’s meet at the hospital.” Saying nothing more, he hung up the phone.Dexie nodded hurriedly and said, “I see. Eric, I’ll go quickly.”Seeing Dexie so worried, Luke couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on?”Dexie was anxious as she said, “My dad has gone to the hospital. I’m going. Luke, take care of Danny.” She thought, he was fine here yesterday, but how come suddenly.Luke said, “I’ll go with yo
