2024-04-21 11:57:34"You can go."
Luke said this to Miller and Warry, who were standing in front of him.
After the two men left, Luke's face darkened significantly.
Leaning back in the leather chair, his cold eyes darkened.
Luke didn't believe that Dexie had truly accepted the divorce. How was it possible that someone who had firmly refused to divorce the day before, resolved the marriage in just one day and accepted the divorce? He thought.
Luke sarcastically scoffed and ignored the divorce papers that Miller had brought.
After suppressing the inexplicable frustration he felt, Luke searched for the official documents on the table and glanced through them. However, he couldn't register a single word he read.
"Mrs. Huxley Dawson, are you leaving?"
The maid asked when she saw Dexie coming down the stairs with her luggage.
Everyone in the Huxley Dawson family knew about the strained relationship between
Dexie and Luke. In addition, some members of the extended Huxley Dawson family even knew that Luke's marriage to Dexie was forced by the old Mr. Huxley Dawson, the head of the Huxley Dawson family.
Now that the old Mr. Huxley Dawson had passed away, Luke had proposed to divorce Dexie.
How would Dexie be happy, especially since she loved Luke wholeheartedly to where she would give her life for him?
Remembering that the lawyer had come to the couple's house to deliver the divorce papers to Dexie in front of all the servants, Winston couldn't help but look at Dexie sympathetically.
Many rumors had spread that Dexie was nothing more than a substitute for Luke's ex-girlfriend and it could be true.
"No, I'm moving out."
Dexie smiled at Winston and said, "Thank you for taking care of me for the past year."
Dexie was not someone hard to please and only cared about matters related to Luke.
"Are you really going to divorce Mr. Huxley Dawson?"
Dexienodded gently with a smile. Suppressing the sharp pain in her heart, she left.
After taking two steps forward, Dexie seemed to remember something and halted. Turning back, she looked at Winston.
"Oh, please have someone remove the Malus from the garden."
"Eh? This..."Winston frowned. “But, Mrs. Huxley Dawson, you planted them..."
"Remove them. Luke doesn't like them."
As they were getting divorced, Dexie wanted to leave without a trace. And there was no need to leave anything behind to bother Luke.
After that, Dexie left the mansion without looking back.
When Luke returned home, he saw an excavator in the yard, and the gardeners were removing the Malus. His face darkened instantly.
Since they got married, Luke had either stayed out late or returned home in the early hours of the morning. It was the first time he had returned home early. Why were his behaviors so unpredictable?
Although Winston was confused, she did not investigate further and hurriedly asked the staff to stop their work.
Luke climbed the stairs unhappily. Upon opening the door, he was greeted with an empty room.
He rarely came home. Even if he came home late, Dexie would usually sit and wait for him in the bedroom. If she had fallen asleep, she would wake up to greet him and ask about his day happily.
As such, Luke was unused to the quiet and empty room. Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety. Luke loosened his tie and threw it aside as he looked around the empty room.
Although there was no major change, Luke felt that something was different.
More than half of the books on the shelves had disappeared.
Opening the closet that was still full of clothes, he could not find a single piece of clothing that belonged to Jolene.
Luke frowned, refusing to believe that Dexie had moved out after accepting the divorce.
"Was she trying to play hard to get?" As soon as he thought of this, Luke's face darkened, and his frown deepened.
Although he firmly believed that Dexie would never divorce him so easily, the anxiety and panic he felt never diminished.
After Dexie left the house she shared with Luke for the past year, she moved to an apartment she owned in the city.
Although she had not lived in the apartment for long, she had specially hired someone to clean it daily.
After setting her luggage aside, Dexie took out her phone and called someone.
As soon as the call connected, a hoarse voice was heard from the other end of the line. The person had just woken up.
"Dexie, I just dreamt about you, and you called me. Great minds think alike." Ignoring the man's words, Dexie said, "There's something I need you to investigate. Once you've done that, order the evidence and send it to me."
Dexie then clearly explained what she needed the man to investigate.
After hanging up, Dexie closed her eyes and felt a sudden chill.
Dexie woke up early the next day. After freshening up, she brought some necessary documents and drove to the Civil Affairs Office.
The Civil Affairs Office was open at this hour, and there were many people who had come down to complete their marriage and divorce procedures.
Dexiestood at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Office and waited patiently for an hour, but Luke never showed up.
As time passed, Dexie grew increasingly impatient.
She had tried calling Luke, but he did not answer. Similarly, when she tried reaching Warry, no one picked up.

The woman was the secretary in Luke's secretariat office, and occasionally he would take her to his business parties.After taking her to a few parties, the secretary had become increasingly arrogant. When she spoke to others, she exuded an indescribable sense of arrogance and superiority. It was as if she was waiting to replace Dexie and become the young lady of the Huxley Dawson family. "Mrs. Huxley Dawson, she's here again." The woman slightly raised her chin as she looked at Dexie with disdain. She even deliberately emphasized the word "again." Looking at the woman, Dexies smiled and greeted politely, "Mrs. Wilson." Cindy Wilson looked disdainfully at Dexie's empty hand. Mrs. Huxley Dawson, are you not going to personally deliver lunch for Mr. Huxley Dawson today? Did you hear that the president had discarded all the food you made? Cindy did not hide her sense of superiority in front of Dexie, and her words were full of sarcasm and resentment. Out of respect for Luke, Dex

Some spectators who had gathered couldn't help but laugh quietly when they heard Dexie's words. Although they tried to hide their laughter, Cindy could still hear it, and her face darkened. When Dexie entered the building, Cindy deliberately raised her voice to attract the attention of the other workers, intending to embarrass Dexie in front of everyone. However, Cindy ended up embarrassing herself publicly. She is only a secretary in the secretary's office, and she is not responsible for important work. While attending business parties with Luke, Cindy would only be taken if Luke needed a female companion at the event. After all, she had the best appearance and figure in the office. However, what Cindy thought was her advantage over others turned her into a joke among the rest. This interaction had turned her into a flirtatious employee and someone the president would take to ordinary business parties to entertain the businessmen he couldn't be bothered to personally deal with

"Now that you've found out that I'm not twisted, do you no longer want a divorce?" Dexie provoked him. She knew Luke wasn't the type of person who would easily be provoked. However, he was also an extremely arrogant person who hated being embarrassed, which was characteristic of young and powerful men. She was pushing his buttons in front of many of his employees. How would he handle it? He would not accept it. As expected, Luke's face became stormier after speaking. He walked towards her. Dexie didn't wait for him to reach her. She turned around and headed to the parking lot. However, as soon as she opened the door, she was stopped. She looked up and met Luke's icy scrutiny. "Anything else you want to say?" She frowned. "What game are you playing?" Luke spoke with a deep voice. His voice was pleasant and deep, with the natural dignity of a superior. In the past, Dexie had enjoyed hearing him speak. Every word he said was a pleasant note, which had been extremely attractive

One day, she vowed to herself that she would avenge the humiliation she had endured. As Cindy dwelled on this, her determination grew stronger, and her aspirations expanded. When she glanced up, she noticed that Luke Huxley had not followed Dexie to the Office of Civil Matters to complete the divorce. Instead, he returned with a somber expression.Cindy’s beautiful eyes subtly darkened as Luke Huxley approached her. She put on a pained expression, hoping to evoke sympathy from him.“Mr. Dawson...” Cindy began, but Luke Huxley remained silent, causing her heart to race. She gave him a sheepish look, blushing, feeling a surge of excitement that made her clench her fists tightly.She believed that Mr. Dawson had feelings for her. Why else would he not clarify things with Dexie when she misunderstood their relationship? Did it mean he had accepted it? Cindy could almost envision herself as Mrs. Dawson. With determination, she asked, “What did you tell Dexie when she came here?”Cindy sudd

Dexie, you misunderstood me. I didn’t mean that. I’m thrilled you’re back. If I had known earlier, I would have asked the servants to prepare some of your favorite foods. Dexie was upset that Sarry referred to herself as “Mom.” She ignored Sarry’s words and entered the hallway. She noticed a girl sitting on the couch and stared at her. The girl was emaciated, with sickly pale cheeks and colorless lips. She was Roxane Domino, Rodel, and Sarry’s illegitimate daughter. She resulted from Dexie’s father’s infidelity to his mother. When Dexie was a child, she had a soft spot for little Roxane, treating her like a sister because the poor girl had lost her father. However, Roxane was not as pitiful as Dexie had thought. She was only a few months younger than Dexie. She was now wearing a snow-white woolen sweater over a knitted light brown dress. Her long black hair covered her shoulders, and her sickly face gave a deceptively delicate impression. Roxane noticed Dexie looking at her. Dexi

“Look at what you’ve done. Is this how you repay your mother after everything she’s done?” Rodel scolded Dexie, wagging a finger at her. Her casual and unrepentant manner only irritated him further.Dexie gave him a lazy look. “I didn’t ask her and Roxane to return everything I spent on them in the last decades. Dad, how dare you ask me to pay?”She then turned to Sarry and Roxane, wearing a challenging smile on her face. “Now that Roxane is in such a state, aren’t you afraid that my payment will give her what she deserves?”“Dexie Hansley!”Rodel was furious with Dexie, especially for his harsh curse towards her.He pulled his hand away from her, preparing to slap her.“What’s going on?” A deep and somewhat dignified voice came from the main door’s direction.The tone was not serious, but it stopped Rodel in his tracks.Luke Huxley’s voice came from the servants leading him away. He wore a gray suit and made an inquisitive expression.His tone was casual, but suddenly everyone was on

With a pitiful expression, Roxane appeared so weak that she seemed like she would crumble if a gentle wind blew towards her. Luke Huxley ignored her, fixing his eyes on Rodel, who was still furious.“I didn’t expect you to be so strict. Dexie was just stating the facts. I didn’t expect you to get so angry,” Luke Huxley said before Rodel could fully understand. After hearing his words, Dexie coughed and choked on her coffee.Dexie had expected that Luke Huxley, like Rodel, would chastise her for her lack of discipline, sarcasm, and rudeness. Luke Huxley, compelled to marry her, had to suppress his hatred for her. The chance to hurt her was too tempting to pass up. However, Dexie never expected Luke Huxley to take her side and defend her, much to the surprise of the Dominos. The Dominos were equally shocked by Luke Huxley’s unexpected support of Dexie. While Luke Huxley was known for being brash, no one expected him to be so shameless. Roxane, upon hearing Luke Huxley’s words, felt her

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?

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...

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
