"No, nothing," Dexie replied, feeling speechless.
"Then why would you call me at this hour? Don't you know I was about to get to the excellent part?" She scolded herself silently.
"Well, if you need anything, then I'll hang up now," Luke Huxley said.
Dexie, surprised by his response, mentioned she was reading a novel.
Luke Huxley was shocked to discover that she valued reading a novel over talking to him. He felt a pang of hurt at her apparent indifference.
"I have something to tell you. Can you give me some time?"
Luke Huxley inquired, seeking a reason to carry on the conversation.
Dexie couldn't understand why Luke Huxley, who had never wanted to talk to her during their marriage, was suddenly reaching out after their divorce.

“Yes, I did. I will note what you said. Mr. Dawson, if there is nothing else, I will hang up the phone." However, this time, before Luke Huxley could say anything, Dexie quickly hung up on him."The Hansley Corporation, huh?" she thought.Dexie had intended to let Rodel have the Hansley Corporation because he could always create another company. As for Rodel...She would claim everything she had gained by exploiting the Hansley family. She'd make it clear, with certainty, that she'd be nothing without the Hansley family.Didn't she want to pursue her true love?Didn't he feel humiliated for being a son-in-law?His actions were irreversible, so she had to accept them.Dexie put her phone aside. Her eyes were devoid of heat, and she had an impassive look on her face.Luke Huxley's expression instantly darkened when he heard the high-pitched ringing sound.The damn woman didn't take her words seriously. Could she discern that her father was an ungrateful and ruthless bastard?Since Dexie

Dexie gave Rodel a mock-painted look, as if it were the first time she had heard those scandalous words. However, Sarry did not want to give Dexie the opportunity to speak. Sarry immediately continued, “Isn’t it true? Your father is a man who kisses others. Isn’t that embarrassing enough for you?”At this moment, even Dexie wanted to give a thumbs up and congratulate Sarry on her satisfactory performance.“Shut your mouth!” Rodel roared fiercely. Sarry shuddered in shock and took two steps back, not daring to speak more. Rodel could no longer stand Sarry or her personal attacks. Why did she have to keep bringing up the topic he most wanted to avoid?“So... all this time, you’ve thought of your time as a son-in-law as an embarrassing past?” Dexie’s face hardened as she looked at Rodel mockingly. Rodel felt even guiltier once Dexie’s piercing gaze met his.“If you really considered it shameful, why did you marry my mother? Did Grandpa put a gun to your head and force you to do it? Or wer

Dexie didn't even take her father seriously, let alone the few others present."Dexie, you are too much!"Marcus couldn't help but point his finger at Dexie and roar.He absolutely hated this devil. He yearned for her immediate death, allowing him the chance to make a meaningful contribution by donating her heart to his sister.Dexie looked at him and noticed the malicious intent on his face. She then smiled and fixed her gaze on Marcus's finger pointing at her."Don't you want your finger anymore?" she asked.She spoke in a monotone voice, which seemed to intimidate Marcus. He retracted his hand immediately, trembling, his eyes still shining with anger.After that, Dexie crushed the finished snack pack into a ball and headed to the trash can before getting up from the couch.

As soon as they heard what Dexie said, her eyebrows twitched. After speaking to the servants, they recalled the unreasonable act she had committed."Three."And as expected...Everyone present, who had fallen for her trick, grimaced as they saw Dexie pick up her phone to make a call."Hello, officer. I have some unwanted intruders on my private property who refuse to leave. Could you send some officers here? My address is..."After Dexie provided her address to the agent, she hung up the phone.The Domino family did not expect Dexie to actually call the police and completely lost their composure."Dexie, do you really have to go that far?"Rodel took a deep breath and calmed down. Then, he tried his best to speak to Dexie in a neutral tone.If anyone found out that his daughter had kicked him out of the house on a snowy day, his humiliating past as a son-in-law would become public knowledge!Looking at Rodel's expression, she said,

Dexie was certain that Rodel dared to use the Hansley family's money for his own business, and that she had other properties in her name.The holidays quickly ended, and it was time for everyone to return to work.Since the day they left, Dexie has not been paying attention to the situation.She applied for a position at Johnston University.At Johnston University's dean's office, after completing the incorporation paperwork, Dexie went to Mr. Henrick to say "hello."“Ms. Hansley, welcome to our university." Mr. Henrick welcomed us."I am honored to work with you, Mr. Henrick," replied Dexie.Mr. Henrick was a renowned academic with a national research grant, making him a well-known figure in the research community.When he saw Dexie in his office for the first time and learned that the famous and legendary Dr. Khlynt was the eld

Dexie, not Roxane, had written the article two years ago. She considered Roxane to be her dearest sister and couldn't bear to see her suffering from heart disease at such a young age.To find a cure for Roxane's heart disease, Dexie conducted extensive research on the condition. The article she published under her research laboratory's name discussed surgery as an alternative to heart transplants for treating congenital heart disease.She meticulously verified all the numbers and data in the document before publication, hoping that one day it would undergo clinical trials and ultimately lead to a cure for Roxane's heart disease.She published the article, "Application of Cardiac Bypass Surgery in Older Adults," under her own name. She wrote this article as part of her research on Roxane's illness.In today's medicine, cardiac surgery represents a very high risk for elderly patients, especially those over 80 years

The sight of Dexie in the hallway momentarily diverted the students from their argument about the beautiful teacher. Her beauty captivated them, especially the younger students who gathered in a corner to discuss her."She's so beautiful, even more than the famous movie stars.""Roxane doesn't stand a chance against her. I used to think Roxane was the prettiest and most humble, but now I see she's not as pretty.""You're right. She exceeds even the most beautiful girl in Johnston. She certainly surpasses Roxane.She is surprisingly attractive. If Roxane were a lily, this new girl is a peony—lusher, more vibrant, and definitely more beautiful! The magic mirror would show her instead of Snow White. She must be the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life."Roxane was speechless.She had been staring at Dexie, dumbfounded, since the moment she entered the room, book in hand.

Roxane had purposely spoken loudly so the entire class could hear what she was saying. She wanted everyone to know that her 'great beauty' had only finished high school and had not entered university.Dexie noticed Roxane's cunning plan.She raised her eyebrows at Roxane and looked at her with an expression that seemed amused but not convinced. She picked up the earpiece that she would use for her lesson later and handed it to her."Roxane, it's only been a few days since I kicked your entire family out of my house. Have you already forgotten how my fists feel? You see, I'm not picky about when and where I use them. Are you sure you want to stay there, in front of me, and bother me?" Dexie asked.The headset microphone transmitted Dexie's voice through the audio system, reaching all corners of the classroom. Everyone heard her loud and clear.Roxane's expression immediately darkened. S

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,
