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
Dexie was trying to organize her thoughts and calm down when Luke Huxley apologized to her. This surprised her.It had never occurred to her that a haughty man like him would notice that he had offended her and would even apologize to her.She had calculated that after he had taken advantage of her, he would tell her that she should consider herself lucky that he would be intimate with her.However, he then looked at her with compassion.Even if he hadn't done that, she had never expected him to apologize to her!"I am glad that Mr. Dawson has realized that his actions were offensive. I hope this doesn't happen again."She looked down and pretended to straighten her clothes, but she was trying to hide the discomfort within her. She then paused for a moment when a thought crossed her mind."Professor Qwentin hasn't been feeling well, so I'll take over his work from now on," she stated.After regaining her composure, she lifted her
This matter was troublesome.“Are they in the restaurant right now?” Dexie calmed down and asked.This batch of lunchboxes could not be returned. They would have to resolve it in some other way.“Yes, they are in the restaurant,” Eric quickly said, “If this matter is not resolved, I’m afraid of reporters will find out, and then it will be even worse for us.”“I know. Keep them occupied, and I’ll come soon.” Dexie had not yet thought of a solution. The only way to solve this was to buy them new ones. However, if the other party refused, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.When she thought about this, Dexie frowned and had a headache.What can be done about it?For now, they could only take it one step at a time and try to stall. After all, the boxes were in their hands, and it was impossible to return them. So, they would have to resolve it in another way. As for Dexie, she certainly was not willing to return them.Dexie told the driver to leave quickly. When she arrived at the resta
The burning red roses were arranged in the shape of a large heart that was beautiful beyond words. Dexie instantly understood why Luke had asked her to come. It turned out to be a surprise for her."Wow, what beautiful flowers. Dad, did you give them to Mom?" Danny's voice came from somewhere, so Dexie turned around and saw both Danny and Luke standing behind her, smiling at her.Dexie turned to look at Luke and laughed when she said, "How can you continue to act so frivolous when you are the president of the Huxley Group?"Although she said this, she felt extremely happy.Luke approached Dexie and couldn't help but grab her waist with a smile on his face. He said, "As long as this frivolous trick can make my wife happy, it's worth it."Dexie couldn't refute a single word he said, so she smiled and nodded as she said, "Okay, you're right."Only then did Luke smile and ask Dexie, "Do you like it?"Dexie nodded and said, "Yes, I like it."Which woman wouldn't like flowers? Which woman w
He threw the remote control he had in his hand at the television, which was hanging on the wall. It made a loud noise when he threw it, and the television wobbled a bit as if it were about to fall at any moment.On one hand, Weston's face was expressionless. He wore a mask, so he could have had an expression on his face, but it couldn't be seen.He walked towards the television and reached out to gently hold it before turning his head to look at Zoey and said in a deep voice, "What's your plan?""I underestimated this woman," Zoey breathed twice to calm herself down before saying, "I can't believe she came up with an idea so quickly, but why do those lunch boxes being sterilized look so familiar?"Weston's voice showed slight fluctuations as he said, "Those were the ones, Mrs. Jensen prepared to donate to the children at the orphanage last time. She bought more than necessary and intended to return them.""In that case, how did they end up in her hands?" Zoey's eyes were cold, and her
In this kind of situation, William’s Fast Food would make headlines regardless of the news, so it was a good deal for them, and they could also take advantage of this opportunity to promote the restaurant.A reporter pushed through to ask Dexie, “Miss Hansley, you’re not deliberately promoting things to get in the headlines, are you?”Upon hearing this, Dexie was not offended but simply smiled at the reporter in the crowd and chuckled as she said, “You probably haven’t worked in any other industry, let alone the food industry, have you? Everyone will make headlines, but no one will use this method to do so. Wouldn’t that be counterproductive? You’re joking, but that joke isn’t funny.”After Dexie said this, the reporters around looked at the reporter strangely, and the reporter also seemed to realize she was out of place and did not speak again.Seeing this, Dexie said, “Alright, everyone, please come in. If you want to take photos of something, do so, and if you have questions, ask.
“Dexie, what’s the point of ordering a cabinet disinfection machine now?”Eric was confused and said, “There are already several units in the store.”“That’s not enough. By the way, instruct the staff to go to the store and remove all the cabinets from the cabinet machine so they don’t take up space. The kitchen will continue to operate as usual today. There’s no need to be deliberate, but everyone should be careful not to make the slightest mistake. Later, there may be reporters coming in to take photos. No one has to do anything consciously, just follow the usual routine,” Dexie told Eric.“Dexie, what do you want to do?” Eric was confused. He had never experienced this kind of situation before, and it was such a big spectacle that he was now a little scared.Dexie’s voice sounded extraordinarily calm and serene as she said, “Eric, I have already thought of a solution, so don’t be anxious and do as I say. I will communicate with you later.”“Have you already figured out what to do?”
“Did you just find out?” Dexie asked with a gossipy expression.Luke nodded and said, “Yes, I just found out, so I’m telling you.”Dexie was very puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, she said, “With this evidence, Ava will be convicted in front of your father in the future and directly expelled from the Huxley family. Without her interference, your father would probably not have me a hard time so often in the future.”“Although my father doesn’t agree with this marriage, if she were an understanding person and advised my father, our relationship wouldn’t be so bad.” Luke’s tone of voice cooled.“So when are you going to tell your father?” Dexie asked.Luke sighed and told Dexie, “Not yet. Now is not the time. Regarding the previous maritime incident and someone who bought internal shares of the Huxley family, she and my uncle were the ones who conspired and joined forces to cooperate with the York family.”So that’s how it was.Dexie nodded and said to Luke, “What about... Quenti
As he spoke, he approached Dexie and once again tapped her cheek twice. The meaning couldn’t be more obvious.He had to kiss her. Dexie’s mouth pouted as she looked indignantly at Luke, then reluctantly moved and gave him a peck on the cheek while saying, “You can say it now, right?”Luke said with a serious face, “I feel like there wasn’t enough sincerity.” Luke seemed quite serious.Upon hearing this, Dexie snorted and said, “You’re playing with me.”Luke laughed and said, “Letting my wife kiss me is not a joke, right?”Dexie was defenseless and said, “So, what do you want?”Luke calmly said, “Just a kiss on the lips.”Upon hearing this, Dexie blushed as she said, “Luke, you, you... rascal...”However, Luke acted pitifully as he said, “God, to ask for a kiss from my wife, I even have to use this kind of trick. Don’t you think I’m pitiful?”When he said that, he looked at Dexie with a pitiful expression, and his eyes were filled with complaints, as if Dexie had done something unforgi
Dexie nodded as she looked at the distress and anguish in Sabrina’s eyes, and couldn’t help but force a smile when she said to Sabrina, “I never expected that one day, meeting my mother would also require cunning.”Sabrina smiled bitterly, her tone becoming helpless and sad as she told Dexie, “Dexie, hold on a little longer. Just... you can’t reveal this matter to anyone now, for your safety. Your restaurant also has good business, so I’m afraid it could cause trouble, so you must be more careful.”Dexie smiled and said, “There’s nothing to be aggrieved about when I can see mom. I’m thrilled, and I won’t tell anyone yet. Mom, be careful when you go back alone and don’t expose yourself.”After Dexie finished speaking, she wiped Sabrina’s tears and took out her makeup cushion, asking, “Do you mind if I use this to fix mom’s makeup?” Sabrina quickly took Dexie’s hand and said, “Silly girl, why would mom mind?”Dexie opened the cushion, dabbed away Sabrina’s tear marks, before smiling an
Sabrina's voice was sad and relieved, making Dexie also overwhelmed with emotion. She first stiffened for a moment, then hugged Sabrina tighter and whispered, "Mom, I also thought I would never find my biological mother again, but I never thought it would be you. Mom..."As if she had been waiting for a long time, as if she had been waiting for a century, Dexie couldn't help but scream repeatedly.Sabrina, who looked so much like her, was her mother...Sherry also wiped her tears aside and said, "Look at us, this is a joyful occasion, so why are we crying? It wouldn't be good for people to see us when we go out later! Miss Dexie and Mrs. Jensen are both kind-hearted people, so you two deserve to reunite. I finally achieved something this time."If it weren't for Sherry's words this time, no one would have remembered this matter. She didn't want to take credit for it, but she was trying to joke and lighten the mood so that mother and daughter wouldn't continue crying without thinking o
