"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

Warry clasped his hands together and smiled warmly at the onlookers. He continued, "But please be aware that the seat next to Mr. Dawson is reserved for Mrs. Dawson. No one else should sit there."One person responded, "Of course, why would we take Mrs. Dawson's seat?"Sitting next to Mr. Dawson, their boss, would be uncomfortable for anyone. Despite rarely seeing Mr. Dawson, his demeanor clarified that he was difficult to get along with. Naturally, they preferred to keep their distance from him.Warry's expression was unreadable as he gestured with his hand. "You may not understand. Mrs. Dawson and Mr. Dawson disagreed recently. It's unlikely she will willingly sit next to him. When that happens."He glanced around at the group and spoke in a hushed tone, "You all know what to do, right?"The employees were momentarily taken aback but quickly nodded in understanding. "Mr. Williams, we know how to handle the situation."After everyone en

The chef's exceptional culinary skills and the appetizing presentation of the food captured Dexie's attention. Despite her hearty appetite, she maintained proper etiquette at the table. The rotating tray arranged a variety of dishes, and Dexie avoided standing up or obstructing others as she reached for her favorite dishes. However, whenever her desired dishes were out of reach on the turntable, she felt a pang of disappointment. As she quietly ate, a plate filled with her favorite dishes suddenly appeared before her.The generous portion was neatly arranged with all her favorites, and Dexie looked at the man beside her. Luke Huxley, noticing her curious gaze, spoke up." Professor Dexie, I noticed that some of your favorite dishes were out of reach, so I gathered them on a plate for you. Consider it a token of appreciation for guiding our researchers. Your help saved us time and enabled us to successfully develop a new drug," he explained.Luke Huxl

Through the rearview mirror, Warry watched Luke Huxley climb onto the car. He gritted his teeth and sighed, wondering about Mr. Dawson's intentions towards him, as he felt like nothing more than Mr. Dawson's lackey. Mr. Dawson, a wealthy man, seemed to take out his frustrations on Warry, his poor and helpless assistant, because of his inability to win back his wife's love. After the successful development of a new drug by Life Beneficial Technologies, it was time for clinical trials, during which Dexie's participation was not required. Meanwhile, Dexie had Roy monitor her research institution, making her feel more at ease. After class, Dexie received a call from Rodel, who expressed a desire to meet and discuss something important. Although Rodel's tone seemed normal, Dexie sensed that there was more to his request. Realizing her birthday was approaching, she suspected Rodel might be eager to gain her share. Dexie agreed to meet Rodel at a cafe behind Johnston University in half a

Dexie's stoic demeanor infuriated Rodel. He knew that trying to evoke emotions from Dexie would be futile and could result in mockery. Therefore, he stopped attempting to appear affectionate, and his true nature shone through, making him seem more like a scoundrel. Dexie found it difficult to interact with Rodel. She understood the purpose of the meeting but was in no rush. She took a teaspoon and stirred her coffee slowly.Rodel wasted no time in speaking. "I heard you're now a professor at Johnston University, teaching second-year medical students?" he asked.Dexie picked up her coffee cup and took a small sip. "Yes," she replied.It was no surprise that Rodel knew. He probably learned about it from Roxane on Dexie's first day at Johnston University. But not from Dexie. She understood why Rodel felt the need to bring it up.Shortly after, Rodel sneered coldly. He could barely conceal the disdain he felt for Dexie; it was evident in the way he

“Mr. Domino, why does he have Alzheimer's when he is not old yet?" Dexie raised her hand and pointed to her head, continuing, "Stop daydreaming. It's terrible for the brain. How will your useless family members behave if you're old and only daydreaming? The family that depended on you?"Dexie laughed lightly as she spoke and then turned around, walking away from him. "Dexie! Dexie!!" Rodel Domino shouted, but Dexie did not turn back to look at him.Rodel sat back down in his seat, feeling angry as the other people in the cafe started giving him strange looks. He had never imagined that Dexie would not take him seriously, especially considering the reputation of Johnston University.If the public found out that the dean of Johnston University had accepted a bribe and allowed a 20-year-old girl with only a high school diploma to teach in the Department of Medicine, it would surely attract attention in the education sector. This could have serious

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...

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
