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
After suggesting divorce to Luke Huxley for the first time, she had already blocked his number. However, on the night Luke Huxley signed the divorce papers, she was worried that he wouldn't be able to contact her the next day to resolve all the issues. Therefore, he unblocked it.After all the divorce procedures were completed, he forgot she had blocked it again and thus kept it unblocked until now.Luke Huxley's message had reminded her of this, so she tapped on Luke Huxley's chat and blocked him.Meanwhile, on Luke Huxley's part, his heart had been hanging by a thread since he sent the message. He even felt nervous.At this moment, the whole family was accompanying his grandmother and watching the New Year's Eve celebration on television, which was the Dawson family tradition.Even though the young people found the show boring, they patiently accompanied
