The sirens of 120 BPM sounded as the ambulance raced through the city center.As Dexie Hansley gradually lost consciousness while lying in the ambulance, she heard the voices of a doctor and a nurse.The nurse had taken her phone. Then she heard the nurse talking on the phone."Is this Dexie Hansley's husband? Your wife was involved in a car accident. She is currently being transported to the hospital, please...""Is she dead?"An icy voice on the other end of the line interrupted the nurse.Stunned, the nurse responded without hesitation, "No, not yet.""I'm very busy. Let me know when she's dead. I'll come pick up her body." "Hello..." Beep-Before the nurse could finish her words, the line was cut.Then, the disconnect tone was heard from the other end of the line, as if mocking Dexie for flattering herself.She also didn't know what had happened to her. As she lost consciousness, she could clearly hear every word spoken by Luke Huxley Dawson.Bitterly smiling, Dexies slowly clos
"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 L
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
Luke Huxley had betrayed Vyonne twice, leaving her feeling disheartened. She shared her brief story with Warry before hanging up the phone. Little did Luke know that her soon-to-be ex-husband had just answered her call moments before he hung up.Sitting in the car, Vyonne furrowed her brow. Aside from Warry, she found it difficult to make sense of the situation. Just the day before, her husband had requested a divorce through a lawyer, but at the last minute, he seemed hesitant.She wasn’t naïve enough to believe that Luke Huxley was reluctant to let her go. She stopped dwelling on his motives, unable to understand them.If Luke Huxley wanted a divorce, she would eventually comply. Right now, she had more pressing matters to attend to.Turning the car around, she headed back to her house. Her phone rang as she drove.“Dexie, I have the information on the topic she asked me to research. Do you need it now?” The voice on the other end of the phone chirped immediately when she answered.“
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
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
