Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 57
After the elder of the Dawson family passed away, the harmony between the two families of his first and second wives remained intact as they continued to meet for dinner on Christmas Eve.Luke Huxley's grandmother led a delicate life, dressed in a dark green evening gown with meticulously combed hair, embodying the typical temperament of a noble lady from a wealthy family.Despite her initial reluctance when her husband brought a second wife into the household, she had grown accustomed to getting along with the other lady and her children over the years. The two families had developed a strong bond and maintained a good relationship.Noticing Dexie's absence, old Mrs. Dawson inquired, "Where is Dexie? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"When Luke Huxley entered the house, his grandmother greeted him with a Christmas present and blessings, her usual reserved deme

Although Erin had always hoped for a divorce from Luke Huxley, when it finally happened, she still wished that Dexie could remain her sister-in-law.She kept unrealistically thinking that there was still hope for the two to reconcile, especially after seeing how Luke Huxley was struggling post-divorce.She didn't expect Marilyn to bring up this matter, and for a moment, a glimmer of hope sparked in her heart. Did Wen Yan agree because of Marilyn's intervention?Erin, with a bigger mouth than her grumpy and unreasonable older sister, was left speechless. Marilyn's stony gaze made Erin feel a pang of fear, causing her to lower her head and hastily consume the food in front of her, plagued by guilt."Why don't you call her yourself if you love her so much? Why should I be the one to reach out?" Marilyn's grip on her fork tightened unconsciously, despite her

Roxane exuded vitality and appeared far from someone battling an illness. However, she was clearly bold for openly challenging Dexie in this moment."You dare shove it in my face, huh?"Dexie thought.She glanced at Roxane with a slight smile and asked directly, "I've been struggling with my divorce, but you keep bringing it up. Are you intentionally rubbing salt in my wound?"The smile on Roxane's face froze suddenly. She didn't expect Dexie's directness. Seeing the hint of a smile in Dexie's eyes, she instinctively clutched her dress, fearing another verbal attack from Dexie. Unsure if Dexie was unhappy about her divorce, Roxane knew she couldn't afford to offend her.Roxane turned away and distanced herself from Dexie, her expression stiff as she explained, "That's not what I meant. I was happy you came. I shouldn't have said that. I didn't mean to upset you." "I see," Dexie replied nonch

As soon as Mrs. Domino became enraged out of embarrassment, she spoke without thinking and said what she wanted to say.Rodel was so angry that he had a headache. He had just let the matter go. Why did his mother mention it again?Dexie looked at Mrs. Domino's embarrassed face and said with a smile, "Why can't I be proud of myself when my father used my money to pay for his school registration? You can consider it as if I paid for your university education, right? I can be considered your benefactor. If I financed those children who live in the mountains, they would thank me. Why, with Roxane, not only is she ungrateful, but she also has the nerve to mention it?" These words once again destroyed the dignity of the Dominos. Dexie also indirectly scolded Roxane for being ungrateful.Roxane was so angry that her entire body was shaking. She pinched the sofa hard with her hands and looked at the arrogance on De

After hearing that, Dexie looked at Rodel's "kind" face and said, "Really? But I have already roughly calculated that I have to invest at least a couple of billion in this new business. If I succeed, everything will be fine. But if I fail, all that money will be wasted.""A couple of billion?!!"Mdm. Domino was the first to exclaim in shock. "Dexie, what kind of business are you starting exactly? Why do you need so much money?"The thought of letting so much money go to waste on Dexie made Mdm. Domino's heart bleed. Although it was obviously Dexie's money, he felt that the money was his.Dexie lifted her eyelids and looked at her. She didn't respond, simply saying,"Grandma, why are you so excited? I've already said that I don't need dad's money.I'm going to spend my money. It's okay if it's wasted. I'll start again right from scratch. Is it okay to waste it?&nb

He stopped Marcus from calling the police and then waved his hand wearily, instructing everyone else to return to their rooms. However, he needed to have a good chat with Dexie first.Although Mdm. Domino and the others were reluctant, they were intimidated by Dexie's earlier imposing demeanor. Rodel signaled them with his eyes, prompting them to leave the dining room reluctantly, swallowing their frustrations.Each time this occurred, they consoled themselves by planning to retaliate against Dexie once they gained control of the Hansley Corporation.Dexie's grandfather and mother were deceased, her uncle was hospitalized, and even the Dawson family, who could have supported her, had distanced themselves. Once they took over the Hansley Corporation, Dexie would be powerless, making it easy to crush her. This self-consolation brought them comfort.Rodel reached out and pinched the space betw

Rodel was so enraged that his heart literally skipped a beat. "Dexie, you need to know that once you waste the billions you have, you won't have any money left," he said, clenching his teeth and continuing. "Just give me your shares.""After I develop the Hansley Corporation and make more money, I will give you 10 billion dollars to start your own business." "Hajal, will I be able to get that money before I die?" Dexie asked. She knew that if she handed over her shares, she would immediately be sent packing. "But I can't wait any longer. Now I'm a divorced woman. Without my career, what hope do I have for the future?"Dexie lowered her head and buried her face in her palms. Her voice escaping her fingers was choked with sobs, "I just want to show Luke Huxley Dawson that even without him, I can achieve a lot." Rodel was speechless after hearing this. "You probably don't know what you can do!" Rodel thought, looking at Dexie with contempt, trying to figure out how his daughter coul

It's one thing if she keeps her actions in her own hands, but now she is giving them to a stranger. Simon Lane is not even related to her. After getting her shares, wouldn't he then become the biggest shareholder? He will be in charge of the entire Hansley Corporation. It worries me you are entrusting someone who can't even speak in the company. If that happens, things won't end well for us. Hearing Sarry's words, Rodel's heart sank. He wouldn't have been so worried if it were anyone else, but it had to be Simon Lane. By then, he had almost become the son-in-law of the Hansley family. Only because Rodel could woo Wendy faster than Simon, Simon lost his opportunity. Now, if the Hansley Corporation ended up in his hands, Rodel would have to choose between remaining at the company or leaving for good. However, he had endured humiliation for the past twenty years in order to gain control of the Hansley Corporation. How could he be willing to leave now? "Do you think I haven't thought

Gavin replied, “Yes.”He felt a little confused. Outside of family gatherings, the most frequent visitors to the Huxley family were the company executives. Luke never needed to give specific instructions. However, today he gave specific instructions. Who was the guest?However, Gavin only thought about it to himself and didn’t dare say it out loud.Dexie looked at Luke with a smile on her face and said, “Can we go downstairs for breakfast now?”Luke looked at her with a bitter expression on his face as he said, “I’m in a hurry to go to the office.”“Aren’t you going to eat?” Dexie froze for a moment and inquired.Luke nodded and said, “I still have something to do in the office.”“But... I got up really early and was busy all morning,” Dexie said, raising her head in a somewhat aggrieved manner and giving Luke a pitying look. Are you truly planning to skip breakfast?Luke stopped and said, “You and Danny should eat.”When she saw him like that, Dexie knew what was on his mind. She sai

When Dexie woke up, her body ached. A nurse removed the needle from her hand and, when she opened her eyes, she asked in surprise, “Miss Hansley, are you awake?” Dexie wanted to move but had no strength left.Even after struggling for a while, she still couldn’t get up. The nurse hurriedly said, “Don’t move; I’ll get you some water and help you up.”She used cotton swabs and tape to press the needle tube she had just removed from Dexie’s hand. Dexie was leaning on soft pillows when she turned to pour water and asked, “Miss Hansley, are you hungry?”Dexie was still a bit dazed, and instead of responding to the nurse’s words, she asked, “What happened to me?” The nurse said, “You had a very high fever. Thankfully, early detection prevented disastrous consequences.”It turned out she had a fever. The day before, she went out to look for Danny and came back drenched. She felt uncomfortable and had no strength left before going to bed at night, but she didn’t expect it to be so serious. Su

Perhaps it was the serious and sincere expression in his eyes that caused Danny to look at Dexie with a hint of doubt.Dexie let out a sigh of relief, then told Danny to lie down and said, “Sleep for a while. You need more rest to get better.”Danny nodded, but he was still a little worried, so he looked at Dexie.Dexie got up, covered him with the blanket, then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Danny’s forehead. With a smile, she said, “Go to sleep. Mommy will come back to my room once you’re asleep.”Danny nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.After closing his eyes for a moment, as if he were still worried, he opened his eyes and looked at Dexie again.He felt relieved to see Dexie still looking at him with a smile.Dexie smiled and said, “Go to sleep.”Danny nodded. Dexie stroked the bed covers over him while humming a lullaby. Danny was exhausted, so he soon fell asleep.After Danny fell asleep, Dexie let out a sigh of relief and stood up.After experiencing intense an

She was busy in the kitchen. After preparing the food, she went upstairs to see if the doctor had finished bandaging him. As soon as she exited the kitchen, she witnessed Gavin dismissing the doctor. Only a nurse remained at home. Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes as she listened to the doctor’s instructions.Dexie hurried upstairs to see if Danny had woken up.This time, Victor was guarding Danny. He seemed to wait for Dexie. He looked at Dexie coldly and said in a frosty tone, “Miss Hansley, put the things at the door and let the servants in later to deliver them.”He addressed her as Miss Hansley in a polite and distant tone.Dexie had a terrible feeling in her heart and said, “Mr. Huxley, I know you must hate me now, but Danny has a special condition and cannot eat when someone else feeds him. It’s better to let me in. After he recovers, you can deal with me.”Her voice was very hoarse.As she descended the mountain today, she was shouting Danny’s name and crying uncontrollably. Th
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 319: Danny is Injured
Dexie clenched her teeth and gazed in her direction. At that moment, she couldn’t be overly aggressive. Everyone believed she was the one who made Danny flee and sustain injuries. They and Luke might not let her in if she was too confrontational now. She believed she couldn’t take any chances.Dexie took a deep breath and looked at Ava. After trying to calm down, she said to Ava, “Mrs. Huxley, we can discuss who would be responsible later. Luke won’t let me off easily, so don’t stand in my way. I want to go in and see how Danny is. Since there are so many people inside, I can’t do anything to help Danny. I just want to see him. Besides, you have no right to stop me.”Ava scoffed at Dexie and said, “I am Danny’s grandmother and a member of the Huxley family, so why don’t I stop you? You are not welcome here and cannot enter under any circumstances. Luke also told you to leave. Now that Danny has been found, why are you still here?”Dexie was about to speak when the room’s door opened.
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 318: Danny is Found
Dexie took a deep breath, climbed the stairs, and left her bag in the room. She put on a pair of sturdy, non-slip snow boots and a thick down jacket, then grabbed her thermos and headed out the back door where Danny had also left.The warm water was for Danny to drink. When they found him, he would probably want to drink water.Dexie took a flashlight just in case, then went out the door.She was very careful as she walked along the road. She scrutinized the ground for footprints and the branches on either side for any clues left by Danny.Even though she was anxious, she needed to calm down. Finding Danny was the most important thing.After walking for a few minutes, she saw two small paths in front of her. Suddenly she froze in place and hesitated.She wondered, Which path did he take?Although Danny had autism, he was smarter and more contemplative than normal children. Dexie felt she couldn’t try to understand based on common sense, but should think, if I were Danny... what would
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 317: In Search of Danny
As soon as Ava’s voice lowered, Dexie glanced at Gavin and asked, “How is the search going? Has Danny left this mountain?”Gavin looked at Luke and saw that he was still expressionless. He sighed and, without hiding it anymore, said, “We sent people to search and sent a drone, but... Danny is nowhere to be found. They have checked several checkpoints at the exit and consulted with the security guards. Danny never... Unless Danny escaped by climbing a wall at the foot of a mountain, he must still be on the mountain.”After Gavin’s statement, Dexie became even more concerned. She frowned and asked, “Are there no surveillance cameras? Look for surveillance footage and see what happened.”Gavin sighed and said, “except inside and outside the mansion, only a few mountain paths have cameras.” There aren’t many trails, and the nature of the mountain makes it impossible to install surveillance cameras everywhere.Dexie inquired once more, “What is the duration of his absence?”Gavin said, “It

After Dexie spoke with Jessebelle and Noah, it was almost three-thirty. Seeing the time, she said, “It’s time for me to go back.”Noah said, “Alright, be careful and understand that your own safety is the most important, no matter what happens.”Dexie nodded and said, “I know.”Dexie had only driven a few hundred meters after parting ways with the siblings.Gavin called. Dexie was in a positive mood, so she answered the phone and asked with a smile, “Gavin, since you’re calling me now, could it be that you found something in the investigation?”Dexie was in a positive mood, but Gavin said with a desperate voice, “Ma’am, please come back soon. Danny is missing.”“What?” Dexie’s tone changed, and her heart started beating wildly.“Danny ran away on his own. We’ve been searching for a long time, but we still haven’t found him. Even though it’s not snowing, the outside temperature is extremely low, and the road remains icy. There are mountain roads outside, so I’m afraid that Danny might

Danny’s expression was angry, and he frowned as he said, “Mom said she would be home before 3 o’clock. She broke her promise.”Ava sighed, with a look of distress on her face, and said, “Really? How could she break her promise? That’s unacceptable!”Danny seemed even more upset when he heard Ava’s words and said in a plaintive tone, “Mom promised me, so why hasn’t she come back? Did she fight with dad again?”Ava sighed and said, “She might not return, but she might have promised to be home before 3 o’clock just to console you.”I heard she promised you yesterday, but then she disappeared. She may have returned out of sympathy after seeing your tears. Danny, don’t feel too sad about it. Even if she’s not here, I can love you.”Danny shook his head with a look of grievance and said, “No, I want mom.”Ava repeated, “But... she’s not coming back, are you going to go out looking for her?”After hesitating for a while, Danny said calmly, “I... want to call mom.”Ava sighed and told Danny,
