“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
Luke Huxley smiled and interrupted her. "How could I act out the indecent scene alone?""Do you agree with me that getting involved will deepen your understanding?"Luke Huxley deliberately emphasized her participation; his look was seductive and playful.Although Dexie was a virgin, she had read a couple of novels and knew what she was referring to. She was quoting the words she had used with him a while ago.She heard a click, and Luke Huxley's belt unbuckled. The waistband of her pants dropped a little, exposing her black boxers. Startled, Dexie lost her composure. Panic set in.She tried to walk away but realized she was trapped, with no space to move. She knitted her eyebrows, looking more anxious."Luke Huxley Dawson, don't come any closer!" she exclaimed."You were the one who wanted a deep understanding, but now you're asking me not to come closer to you. What exactly do you want me to do?"Luke Huxley narrowed his eyes and lifted her chin with his fingers, bringing her closer
