Roxane exclaimed, her anger obvious. She had hoped to embarrass Dexie with a simple question, thinking it would make her look foolish if she couldn't answer it. However, Roxane's plan had unexpectedly backfired.
"Did I insult you? It was a basic medical question that you asked in class. Did you anticipate such a challenge?" Dexie responded confidently.
Roxane wanted to retaliate, but the laughter and whispers from her classmates made her feel like a fool. They all looked at her, treating her as if she were incompetent.
"I'm fine with using money to get into college. But as a second-year student, how could she not know a fundamental first-year question and have the nerve to do it in class? Since she had to use money, how high do you expect her IQ to be? If her father wasn't rich, college wouldn't matter.

“You know how aggressive Internet trolls can be. I know Dexie is doing everything so that you love her. Luke Huxley, I hope you make things clear to him so he stops doing all this nonsense for you. Please do it for me, because I love my daughter. Please?"Rodel thought that this explanation was enough to touch Luke Huxley's heart, but Luke Huxley's heart was like a stone and could not be softened.Luke Huxley showed no emotion the entire time Rodel was talking. His face looked as if all of this was none of his business.Instead, he said, "Since she wants to start a new business, then let her. They are just a couple of billion. Since she has that money, let her try it. Because Dexie could afford to lose all that money. She still had over ten billion in assets from her divorce. She wouldn't

Roxane was determined to prevent Dexie from returning. To catch Dexie off guard, Roxane kept a low profile and avoided any confrontations with her. Instead, she covertly recorded Dexie teaching, capturing several clips that clearly identified Dexie as a professor at Johnston University."Wait, Dexie Hansley," Roxane declared. "This time, I will ruin your reputation. If not, I will admit defeat." She watched the videos on her phone with a wicked smile, already imagining the repercussions for Dexie and not concealing her satisfaction."Okay, class is dismissed," Dexie said. "If you have questions, come to my office."

My sister is not an adopted daughter; she is the daughter of my father's ex-wife. Her ex-wife had my sister with her ex-boyfriend before marrying my father. Therefore, my sister became part of the family and is now my sister. Roxane bit her lip, feigning hesitation to continue, but upon seeing the interest in her classmates' expressions, she continued with her story.After my sister's mother passed away, my father married my mother, who then gave birth to me and my brother. Even though my sister is my father's stepdaughter, she has no mother. Therefore, my father couldn't bear to let her live alone and allowed her to stay with us in our house.Roxane had deliberately fabricated the story of Dexie's birth to elevate her status and attract attention, but she failed to realize that her story sounded false and did not align with the facts known to the students. The revelation that Professor Hansley is the same age as them, despite the discrepancies in the birth stories, exposed the inconsi

Professor Lang, a woman in her fifties, appeared older than her actual age because of her gray hair from a long career in education and medicine. She handed Dexie a folder and stated her motive: "Please let me know what you want me to do.""Our pharmaceutical research team collaborated with Life Beneficial Technologies' laboratory on some medications." Here is a list of medicines that we have jointly developed. Recently, we created a drug for cardiac emergency rescue, but they encountered some data problems they couldn't solve. They're hoping we can send a professor to assist them. Mr. Henrick mentioned your achievements in cardiac medicine, and I would like you to help. Are you willing to do it?""Are technologies beneficial for life?" Dexie made a reference to Dawson Corporation's biology research laboratory. The collaboration between Johnston University and Life Beneficial Technologies surprised her.Noticing Dexie's silence, Professor Lang inquired, "Is something bothering you?" S

“Mr. Dawson, would you like to go to the top floor first?""No, let's head straight to the laboratory."On a global scale, Life Beneficial Technologies was developing many drugs for various medical conditions.Once they successfully launched the research and development products on the market, people worldwide would benefit. This would not only improve the world but also generate income for the corporation.Some foreign pharmaceutical companies had monopolized the markets, leading to high prices that many people could not afford. Developing a product that is as good or better could benefit the country and its people. By doing so, your company could lower prices and break the market monopoly on certain medicines.Therefore, Luke Huxley placed great importance on that part of his business and occasionally visited Life Beneficial Technologies to check on their progress.Warry had already informed Johnson Craig, the person in charge of Lif

He looked at Luke Huxley, bewildered, and wondered if he knew anything about his father's profession. Finally, he realized it. Luke Huxley had created the impression that he adored his wife, but that was not the case."Thank you, Prof. Hansley. If it weren't for your advice, I would have kept this problem," the intern said, blushing as he looked intensely at Dexie.Her gaze was full of admiration for and respect for him. When Luke Huxley saw her expression, he became angry. He felt that the incompetent intern was lusting after his wife! He had forgotten that he and Dexie had divorced, and she was no longer his wife. She was his ex-wife.He maintained his composure and approached her. At that moment, he heard someone shout excitedly."We did it! The latest data set is out!"When Shaun heard the news, he rushed over and inspected the data. After examining it, he laughed heartily and exclaimed, "We have done it! We have done it!"Unaware of Luke Huxley's arrival, Shaun turned to Dexie, w

Dexie frowned and asked in amazement, "When did I run away from you?""A few minutes ago, you agreed to have dinner with them. However, the moment you saw me, you left."Dexie was speechless.She had noticed Luke Huxley's unhappiness because she didn't want to see him and had left to avoid putting Shaun and his team in an awkward position.She had done it for herself."Mr. Dawson, I have things to do that are unrelated to you."Dexie suppressed her anger and spoke to him in a friendly manner. Not only did she not want to confront Shaun, but she also refused to share a meal with Luke Huxley.She still vividly remembered the unpleasant scene in the mall. She wasn't confrontational and didn't want to cause trouble."School hours have ended, and all the students have gone to dinner. Why do you need to hurry? Why is it so important that you must miss dinner to help? Luke Huxley spoke to her as calmly as possible, and shortly after, he took out her

After exchanging a glance with Luke Huxley, Dexie reluctantly got into the car. With Warry already in the front seat, Dexie had no choice but to sit in the back with Luke Huxley.As soon as the car door closed, the driver placed an insulation panel between the front and rear seats for privacy.Dexie rolled her eyes at the unnecessary gesture, arguing that they didn't need privacy because they wouldn't do anything inappropriate. Luke Huxley noticed her reaction, and as he looked at her profile, his lips twitched involuntarily. Why are you staring at the insulation panel? Are you thinking about something indecent?Luke Huxley stifled laughter as he spoke. When Dexie heard his voice, she snapped out of her reverie.She turned to look at Luke Huxley and saw him chuckling. She was surprised, since she had never seen him smile before. He always had a sullen look and never joked around. She had assumed he had a difficult time smiling.She felt that he had c

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

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.

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

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,
