Roxane struggled to speak once again.She knew the plane belonged to Dexie, but she couldn't understand why Dexie had to insult her repeatedly.She believed she was doing it for Dexie's sake, fearing that an unclean, childlike Rodel might spread a disease. Having always been in poor health, Roxane feared the consequences of becoming infected.As these thoughts swirled in her mind, her dissatisfaction with Dexie's behavior intensified. However, when she caught Dexie's distant gaze, she hesitated to express her discontent.Aunt Rodel, frequently associated with the Domino family, passed by and overheard the conversation between Roxane and Dexie. As Dexie continued to push Roxane around, a family member named Hansley couldn't bear to remain silent. She swiftly intervened, shielding Roxane from Dexie's actions and confronting her directly.Hansley criticized Dexie for her audacity, pointing out that it was not her place to allow or deny entry to someone else's plane without the owner's con
However, that wasn't the biggest problem. The real problem was that Dexie had learned something else from Elaine's words.If the woman made the situation worse, Rodel couldn't stay in town any longer.Just as he was pondering how to handle the situation, he heard Dexie mock her."An outsider? Does this town perceive me as an outsider? I wouldn't have known if Elaine hadn't mentioned it." Rodel's expression changed instantly."D-Dexie, it's all a misunderstanding. Let's discuss it at home," he said, forcing a smile.He tried to reach for his daughter's hand, but she pulled it away. Disappointment quickly replaced the smile on Dexie's face."Why should we go back? I think we should clear things up here.""Dexie.""Who would have thought that after 20 years, I would find out that you never considered me your own daughter?""Wait. This is all a misunderstanding."A sense of unease immediately filled Rodel's mind. "A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" Dexie scoffed and turned to loo
“How shameless can they be for using her possessions and stabbing her in the back?""I'm sorry for Miss Hansley."Not only did Rodel hear the talk, but Roxane also heard it clearly.Her face was as red as an apple, and she had to lower her head. She could feel everyone's critical looks directed at her.He started gasping so he could pretend she was fainting from shock. She would have been able to prevent people from speaking ill of her, but Dexie would not give her that chance."Roxane, don't think you can run away from all this just by pretending to faint. We're sorting this out today! Please remain motionless and patiently await my completion."Roxane immediately froze upon hearing that.Dexie had cut off even her only chance to escape from it. She had no choice but to stay still, or else the village
Rodel, we need to be cautious considering past events. If we upset Dexie and she transfers those shares, it could be disastrous. Roy Cheston acted impulsively. What are you going to do? By the way, after Mr. Hansley passed away, no one stepped forward to manage the Hansley Corporation. If it weren't for you, those 40% shares owned by Dexie would be worthless. Look at how she is treating you now.Sarry Todd still hadn't finished her sentence, but Rodel Domino could understand what she was implying."That's right! Rodel, if it weren't for you, the Hansley Corporation would have gone bankrupt. Dexie Hansley wouldn't be where she is today. So who gave her the right to transfer her shares to outsiders without consent?" Mrs. Domino blurted out her thoughts. Without knowing better, one would have thought those actions were his. Despite his interference with the Hansley Corporation's affairs, she didn't feel guilty when she made that statement. Everything else came nat
Looking at Luke Huxley's sullen face, Erin knew that her intentional provocation had succeeded. She could see the anger building in him as he watched Dexie with Roy.Mrs. Dawson also noticed the chill emanating from her grandson and sighed."Luke Huxley, don't forget that you and Dexie are already divorced. You have no right to get angry," she said.It had been one of those days when old Mrs. Dawson had planned to go shopping with her grandchildren. She didn't expect to meet Dexie. It shouldn't have mattered. Dexie and her grandson were already divorced and should not have interfered in each other's affairs. However, judging by the way her grandson behaved, it seemed like he thought Dexie was cheating on him."If you can't let it go, what have you done about it in the last year of your marriage?" she asked.
“Mrs. Dawson and Luke Huxley, I didn't expect to meet you two here," he said, addressing Narda and Erin.Erin exchanged a look with Narda before asking,"Grandma asked Luke Huxley to go shopping with her today. I just went along to have fun. What about you? Why are you alone?"Narda sighed deeply and replied, "My parents have a date, and as for my uncle..." She hesitated, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "You know it too. Our families are not on good terms, and my cousins dislike spending time with me."As Narda spoke, she cast small glances at Luke Huxley, her eyes filled with a hint of sadness. She had a way with words, easily portraying herself as sad and lonely, subtly hinting at the strained relationship with her family.
“Is there any reason to blame me?" Dexie sighed deeply. Seeing this, Erin thought Dexie was about to apologize."I believe I may have treated you so well in the past that you cannot understand your position."Dexie said. Dexie reached out her hand, pinched Erin's finger, and moved it away from her face."I dislike people pointing fingers at me. I am always ready to teach a lesson to those who are as rude as you. Would you like me to continue?" Dexie spoke in an indifferent tone. Erin's face turned pale upon hearing Dexie's words, feeling the pain in her finger. Dexie pinched Erin's index finger, causing Erin to feel as though her finger bone was about to break, even though Dexie did not seem to exert much force. "Dexie, release her now. How dare you do that to me? I will inform Luke Huxley," Erin exclaimed. "Will you tell Luke Huxley?" Dexie raised her eyebrows slightly. Erin thought Dexie must be afraid. Ignoring the pain, Erin repeated, "Dexie, I will tell Luke Huxley that you
Old Mrs. Dawson sensed a hint of disdain in Narda's tone towards the other girls. Her eyelids fluttered slightly as she spoke up."Everyone naturally finds themselves drawn to attractive individuals. It's natural for a guy to ask for a lovely girl's phone number. Why do you think they aren't reserved? What's wrong with a girl acting that way?"Narda glanced at old Mrs. Dawson, who responded in a gentle tone with no offense. Although Narda felt uneasy, she hesitated to express her displeasure in front of the older adults."Grandma, that's not what I meant. I'm concerned that the girl might feel embarrassed if Luke Huxley approaches her," Narda explained. "You know Luke's temperament..."With a helpless look, Narda turned to Luke Huxley and shrugged her shoulders.She implied she was Luke Huxley's girlfriend, and he would only have eyes for her, ignoring the friendly advances of other girls.Old Mrs. Dawson continued to smile affectionately. She said nothing, but silently agreed with Nar
