After a while, someone answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone, the cheerful and robust voice of a man said, “Mr. Huxley, why do you have time to call me?”

In a relaxed tone, Luke said to the older adult man on the other end of the phone, “Mr. Campbell, what are you doing?”

“What can I do? The snow hasn’t melted yet, so there’s nowhere to go fishing.” Mr. Campbell laughed and said, “What’s up?”

“Can’t I call you if nothing’s going on?” Luke laughed and said, “It’s nothing, but I have a painting I want to give you. Do you want it?”

The older adult man on the other end of the phone was genuinely interested and eagerly asked Luke, “Painting?”

“What kind of painting?”

Luke laughed and said, “It’s a new oil painting. Mr. Campbell, you know I don’t love them, and I don’t know how to appreciate them. If you don’t mind, can I give it to you?”

Surprised, Mr. Campbell was stunned for a moment, then said with a somewhat hesitant voice, “Oh, Luke, are you serious? Are you really... givi

    Dexie wondered if someone had mistaken her for a salesperson. Dexie forced a smile and said, “Grandma, I’m here to find Mr. Campbell, not to sell things.” The old lady looked a bit worried when she said, “Oh, but I don’t know you, so I can’t let you in. Mr. Campbell is not at home, would you come back tomorrow?”Dexie thought for a moment and then said, “When will Mr. Campbell be back?” The old lady hesitated a bit before saying, “He will probably be back before dinner. He doesn’t enjoy going out to eat.”Dexie nodded and said, “Okay, then I’ll go out and wait for him in the yard.” The old lady seemed a bit worried. She looked at Dexie anxiously and said, “But... it’s cold outside and the snow hasn’t melted yet.” Looking uncomfortable, she turned her gaze back to the room. Dexie thought her family probably told her that strangers couldn’t come in.Seeing the old lady act this way, Dexie laughed and said, “Ma’am, don’t worry. I’m really not a negative person, and my car is outside. I’l

    Dexie was surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “Yes, but... how did he know, Mr. Campbell?”Mr. Campbell went to the kitchen to wash his hands. He wasn’t too formal. Instead, he seemed to regard Dexie as an acquaintance. After washing his hands, he dried them with a towel while smiling and said to Dexie, “Luke told me. How else would I know? And even if I knew you, I wouldn’t make an exception for you without him!”Dexie, surprised, looked at Mr. Campbell in shock and said, “He was the one who told you?”Mr. Campbell nodded and said, “Yes, that boy really cares about you. He bribed me with an oil painting! Although the boy didn’t mention the price, I can tell that this oil painting must be priceless. It may seem cold on the surface, but deep down, it’s actually very kind. He really cares about you. He also told me not to tell you, so you wouldn’t feel overwhelmed.”Dexie couldn’t help but feel a little moved. When she was in his office in the afternoon, he rejected her. Why did he sud

    Indeed, Gavin’s words made Luke glare at him.Fearing that Luke would get frustrated and then send him to a distant and remote land, Gavin felt a cold sweat running down his back.Gavin looked at Luke and said cautiously, “Mr. Huxley, Anna said that sometimes, women don’t mean what they say. During fights, even if they were wrong, they wouldn’t admit it. They would wait for the man to convince them.”He had already told so many lies, so telling one more wouldn’t make a big difference.Indeed, as soon as Gavin’s voice lowered, Luke looked at him and said indifferently, “Is that so?”Gavin nodded hastily and said, “Yes, how could I dare to lie to you?”As expected, Luke fell silent, then looked at Gavin and nodded slightly. In his opinion, Gavin wouldn’t dare to lie.Luke said in a casual tone, “I don&rsquo

    He knocked on the room’s door, but there was no movement inside, so the door opened instead. He thought Luke knew he was coming, so he opened the door and entered. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Luke with a bath towel wrapped around his waist. He wasn’t wearing anything on his upper body, and his hair was dripping water. It seemed like he had just finished showering. He had a magnificent figure, with well-developed abs and biceps, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long, straight legs. With his sexy figure, he even put models to shame. It was the first time Dexie had seen his figure directly, and she covered her eyes in shock. Luke didn’t care.He turned his head and looked at Dexie indifferently, asking, “Do you need something?” With her face turned away, Dexie said, “Put on some clothes first.”Luke muttered, “You’ve touched me before, but now you feel embarrassed?&rd

    When she thought about it this way, she sighed in relief.“There are rumors, and I heard from others,” Dexie said with a serious expression. “And... I have found evidence.”When Gavin heard Dexie say this, he became more and more puzzled and asked, “You found evidence? Mrs. Huxley, um... did someone instigate you?”Dexie shook her head and said, “No, I really found evidence.”Gavin asked, “So... what evidence did you find?”When she received a call, Dexie was about to speak when she received a call at that moment.It was a call from Noah. Although she didn’t want to answer at this moment, she was afraid that Noah might have something serious to tell her, so she answered the phone.As soon as the call connected, before Dexie could speak, Noah anxiously asked on the other end of the phone, “Dexie, where are you?”“I’m outside. What’s going on?” Dexie didn’t directly say that she was at the Huxley family’s house.“Jessebelle and I visited your apartment. We knocked on the door, but no on

    “However, Mrs. Huxley spread these rumors,” Gavin said in a low voice as he approached Dexie.“Mrs. Huxley? Ava?” Dexie was surprised.Gavin nodded quickly and whispered, “Yes, it was her. The two brothers had an excellent relationship, and she is their stepmother. Although Mr. Victor Huxley adores her, she still doesn’t have any status in the Huxley family.” Her biological son worked in the Huxley family but didn’t hold a prominent position, so he wanted to an advantage of that opportunity.Upon hearing this, she realized it.As she listened to Gavin’s words, Dexie felt guilt and reproach in her heart, but...“Setting aside everything else... how do you explain this picture? Gavin, don’t lie to me about Luke.” Dexie looked at the photo again. Luke looked at Serena with such an affectionate expression and smiled so warmly. It didn’t seem like he had feelings for her.Gavin scratched his head and said, “Mrs. Huxley, how could I lie to you about such a thing? Mr. Huxley liked no woman.

    Dexie looked at Gavin gratefully and said, “Gavin, this time... if I can reconcile with Luke, it will all be thanks to you.”Gavin was surprised, but then he laughed and scratched his head when she said, “Mrs. Huxley, have you thought of a way to persuade Mr. Huxley?”He seemed serene on the surface, but he was filled with joy inside. God knows how much he wanted the two of them to reconcile.Dexie nodded slightly and told Gavin, “Don’t tell him I know the truth and pretend that I know nothing. I will leave tomorrow. After I come back... I will apologize to him.”“Well, alright.” Gavin was already wondering how Dexie would apologize.Dexie went to the room where she had slept before, took a shower, and then lay down on the quilt. The more she thought about it, the more remorse she felt. Luke had been wonderful to her, but what about her? She was overwhelmed with guilt towards Luke! She didn’t trust Luke, but he was still willing to help her. Dexie sighed and told herself that from now

    The woman said to Dexie, “Really? Miss Hansley... can you give me your phone number?”Seeing Dexie’s surprised expression, she laughed and said, “I think we have excellent chemistry. I have no other purpose.”Dexie smiled and said, “I didn’t mean to doubt you. Mrs. Jensen, this is my number.” As she spoke, her fingers quickly typed a series of numbers on the keyboard.Mrs. Jensen nodded, took her phone from her purse, entered Dexie’s phone number, then dialed it and said, “This is my number.”Dexie nodded and said, “Alright, Mrs. Jensen, I’ll leave first. I hope you stay healthy. I hope we can see each other again some other day.”The woman nodded and looked at Dexie with a joyful expression in her eyes as she said, “Alright, goodbye.”Dexie waved goodbye, and Mrs. Jensen also waved back. Her eyes remained fixed on Dexie after she had walked a distance.Much later, after Dexie had left, a bald man in a black suit appeared behind the woman. He had a stout figure and was around thirty y

    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
