Everyone assumed he divorced Dexie because he wanted to get back with Narda. "You all are excellent at making up stories. You should write a book," Luke Huxley said, putting on a serious face and feeling hot under his collar. "If everyone thinks like that, does Dexie think the same way too?" he suddenly wondered, concerned. "We're not making it up. You're the one who acts like it." Simon glared at him and added, "If that's not the case, why would you make Dexie apologize to Narda when you clearly knew it was Narda's fault? What were you thinking?"Luke Huxley said nothing. But Simon didn't let it go and continued, "If you were Dexie, how would you feel? You defended another woman and made her apologize indiscriminately. She must hate your guts." Luke Huxley remained silent, but he raised his jaw."Why did I ask him to apologize to her? I didn't want him to ignore me like that! His arrogant attitude made me frustrated and insecure," he thought. Feeling that he had said enough, Simon
"Marcus!""Marcus!""Marcus!"Sarry, Roxane, and Mrs. Domino screamed and rose from their chairs, while Rodel remained silent, his face red with anger."Why did you do that, Dexie? He's your brother!" Mrs. Domino screamed.Dexie stomped on Marcus's face as he turned to look at the others. Her eyes were full of malice, which scared them.They thought if they didn't provoke her, she wouldn't attack them.She glanced away, then looked at Marcus."Believe it or not, I can hit you as well as kill you." Her threat was forceful and implicit.She didn't know how she became so powerful as to leave him unable to move.It all happened so fast that he didn't see exactly how she crushed him.She felt hatred, shame, and anger at the same time.Without removing her foot from his face, Dexie slowly stood up and continued, "An animal may not behave. You should not speak if you don't know how to communicate with me.""Did you understand?"When Luke Huxley entered the house, the first thing he heard were
If Narda found out about Luke Huxley's actions, wouldn't she be worried about losing the three years she spent maintaining her chastity?Dexie shot him a disdainful look before saying emotionlessly, "Thank you, Mr. Dawson. Now you can have your hand back."Luke Huxley had become accustomed to Dexie's indifference. When listening to Dexie's words, he gently retracted his hand."Okay, I'll listen to you."Her mischievous smile made Dexie internally roll her eyes. Wouldn't her brash behavior be misinterpreted as if he were a loving husband and they were a loving couple in the eyes of an outsider?As Dexie expected, Roxane, who was sitting right in front of them, was filled with jealousy. Her eyes turned red when she noticed how Luke Huxley treated her and Dexie differently."Why wouldn't she take another look at me? I'm trying to please him, but he hasn't even told me a single word. Besides that, he even tried to make me seem embarrassed several times. But he cares a lot about Dexie. Why
Rodel and Sarry shared the same thoughts as Roxane.The Domino family already knew that Luke Huxley had filed for divorce with Dexie. However, they did not understand why she maintained this image of a good husband in front of them. Rodel guessed that Luke Huxley was doing it to show respect to him, his father-in-law.Regardless of what had happened, he was Dexie's father. Maybe Luke Huxley was worried that he would anger Rodel if he mistreated Dexie."If I vaguely hint to Luke Huxley that I don't care about his marriage to Dexie, will he pay a little more attention to Roxane?" As soon as he thought of this, Rodel immediately put on a loving smile."Luke Huxley, don't worry about her. Her grandfather has pampered Dexie since she was a child. How can you see, she is not only rude to you but also to her grandmother? Please forgive her."Although Rodel was apologizing to Luke Huxley on Dexie's behalf, his words strongly implied to Luke Huxley that D
Luke Huxley raised his eyebrows at Rodel, not believing a single word he said."What if Dexie upsets someone else? Are you worried that you cannot protect your daughter, or are you worried that I cannot protect my wife?" Rodel replied. Rodel was dumbfounded.At this moment, Luke Huxley was echoing every word Rodel said, preventing further resistance.Luke Huxley was never one to get hung up on a small matter like this.Did he change after spending time with Dexie? Luke Huxley was fed up with Rodel.Although he had only visited the Domino family home twice, Luke Huxley had been a personal witness to how Rodel treated Dexie.In the past, he cared little about these things. But after realizing how Dexie was being framed by her biological father and how her father shamelessly treated her to ruin her reputation for the sake of his illegitimate daughter, Luke Huxley's blood seethed with anger. His words had given Rodel a hard slap in the face. While Rodel was
“I'm just curious, but who gave you the right to touch my things?"Sarry's face turned pale as she trembled under Dexie's distant gaze. She stammered, "Dexie... I'm your mother. It's just a room, and it's better than leaving it empty and wasting space. I thought you wouldn't mind."Her words implied that Dexie was being stingy and mean. Seeing Sarry's shameless behavior, Dexie laughed angrily. Since she didn't want to reason at all, "First, let's make this clear. My mother is the eldest daughter of the Hansley family. Second, although this is just a room, it's my room. If I'm willing to give it to you, then you can use it. If you use it without my permission, it is considered theft. Do you understand me?" Dexie said."You." Despite her soft smile, Dexie was furious, "Is stealing one of the main teachings of the Todd family?" Hearing the commotion, those downstairs headed to the second floor, where they heard Dexie's humiliating commen
Luke Huxley's heart ached for Dexie as she lamented her isolation and vulnerability, a result of her own father's betrayal. The more indifferent Dexie appeared, the deeper Luke Huxley felt the pain in his heart."As a grandmother, I will decide on the room arrangements. Give this room to Roxane, and I will have the servants prepare another one for you," Madam Domino continued.Dexie was not surprised by the behavior of the Domino family; therefore, it was not unusual for her to hear such statements."Just one room?" Everyone knew that Dexie's room was the best in the entire villa, with superior lighting and a scenic view outside the window."After you forcefully took over my room, do you still want to act as a mediator in front of me?" Luke Huxley asked rudely.Before Dexie could respond, someone intervened."This house belongs to Dexie. How can someone from the Domino family intervene in decisions?" Luke Huxley retor
Tonight, after being defeated countless times, Rodel finally felt calm.He continued to console himself, "Forget it. Let her be. I'll teach her a lesson someday."Roxane, who had been attacked all night, was forced to leave Dexie's room after being harassed by her. What else was Dexie planning to do?In the end, Roxane couldn't take it anymore, "Dexie, I'm thin and weak. Do you think I can sleep until your bed collapses? I have moved as you wish. Why do you have to make things worse? Aren't you going too far?"Dexie had planned to stop making trouble. However, since Roxane, an illegitimate daughter, she still wanted to create more trouble, so they couldn't blame her for being tough. She glanced sideways at the distressed Roxane and smiled, "First, this room belongs to you. You were the one who took charge while I was away. It is natural that you move now. Secondly..."She stopped deliberately and looked at Roxane, 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? 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
