2024-08-15 20:00:24Thinking that Luke already had a fiancée, Dexie had a restless night. This time, her parents were whisked away, and Dexie also received a threatening message. It was the work of Luke’s fiancée, who perhaps wanted to intimidate her a little.
Dexie didn’t know who she was, but she must be the heiress of a distinguished family.
What about her? What happened between them that night was only because someone set a trap for Luke, and Eleanor set a trap for her.
Dexie was distressed and couldn’t fall asleep, so she prepared breakfast. After breakfast, she would return to the residence and spend New Year’s with the two eldest members of the William and Eric families. That would be the right choice.
She got up, washed, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. While cooking porridge, she heard a woman’s voice from the kitche

Dexie furrowed her brow, and after seeing the brand, she was surprised.These were the top three lipstick-producing companies?She was even more surprised. She quickly scanned the contents and finally looked at the inscription. Then, with a shocked expression on her face, she asked, โYou... acquired the lipstick divisions of these three companies?โโYes,โ Luke pretended to act distant and casual, but his eyes couldnโt help but look at Dexie to observe her expression.โYou...โ Dexie was astonished and didnโt even know how to respond.When Luke saw Dexieโs expression, he wondered, Maybe Annaโs method worked? However, she didnโt look happy.Luke feared she didnโt understand the situation, so he added, โDonโt women like lipstick? Then Iโll give them to you!โDexieโs eyes landed on the name of the purchaser. It was his name, and the identification number was also his.โYou...โ Dexie seemed to be at a loss for words as she said, โBuy a lipstick company and give it to me?โโDonโt you like it

A black Maybach exited the villaโs driveway. Luke was cursing inwardly.It was freezing outside; the temperature was minus eight degrees, and the snowfall was getting heavier. No one was on the road.Luke was inexplicably a little nervous. Dexie was terrified of the cold, and her hands and feet were always cold when she was outside. Although it hadnโt been long since they met, Luke remembered that.What would happen if she stayed outside on such a snowy day?After twenty minutes, he drove towards the bustling city but still didnโt see Dexie.Paying attention to both sides of the road, he didnโt drive fast, but he didnโt encounter a single pedestrian.He felt that something was wrong. There was no way Dexie could have walked so fast. Did a passing car pick her up?Very few cars were in this area, so it was even more unlikely that a private vehicle would pick up a stranger during such heavy snowfall. Taxis were also unlikely to come here.He called Melvin and asked him to check. Gavin w

Luke was paralyzed for a moment. He was a little frustrated but also distressed. Whatโs wrong with her? Even in her semi-conscious state, she insisted she didnโt want to go back to the Huxley family. Whatโs going on? After her parents returned safe and sound last night, she changed. She became depressed, so what was happening?Luke was very puzzled but didnโt ask further. Since she didnโt want to go home, they went to a hotel. He made a call to Gavin, who hurriedly said, โThe hotel in the center of The Huxley Group just prepared a room for Miss Hansley so you can bring Miss Hansley.โโI see. Call a doctor and wait at the hotel. She seems to suffer from hypotherdexia, so she might have a fever.โAfter hanging up the phone, Luke focused on driving and increased the car's speed. Finally, after a little over half an hour, they arrived at the hotel.Dexie was still dazed. Luke hugged her and found she was trembling. Her body was also surprisingly hot to the touch. Luke wondered what was ha

After breakfast, they heard a knock on the door. Gavin stood up and said, “Sir, I brought the things.”With that, he looked inside and saw Dexie sitting on the sofa next to the bed. It seemed like they had reconciled. He felt a little relieved. He wanted nothing more than for everything to go well between his boss and Miss Hansley. After closing the door, Luke placed the marriage certificate in front of Dexie.“Look.”Dexie still couldn’t believe it. She took it from Luke and saw that it contained two red books. “Is this a marriage certificate?” Dexie still couldn’t believe it and asked Luke incredulously.Seeing Dexie’s surprised expression, Luke said, “Open it and look.” Dexie left the box on the table, took the marriage certificate, and examined it carefully. After looking at it, she was astonished.“It’s a marriage c

She had a fever last night. Later, Luke arrived and took her away immediately, but the other party did not take photos of Luke or them arguing. They only took a picture of Noah hugging her, so it was intentional.Since the other party only sent a carefully selected angle photo of Noah and her, the target was probably her or Noah.In that case, who could be the mastermind? What was the purpose of the other party? Regardless of the other party’s purpose, it would not be good for her or Noah in any way!More importantly, someone anonymously posted these photos. It would be easier to remove it if it were a media outlet, but it was a personal post. Here, if they wanted to remove it, they had to find the blogger.If the other party had malicious intentions, they probably couldn’t find that person so quickly.

"Yes, sir." Gavin lowered his head and didn't dare to ask more.Luke nodded and said, "I'll go back alone. You should stay and investigate the mole in the hotel."Gavin said, "Are you suspecting...""The hotel has always had strict security measures. Since that group of reporters could enter, the matter is probably not so simple."But, said Luke, "Investigate it for the sake of appearances."Luke's words had a hidden meaning, so Gavin looked at him puzzled, but then immediately nodded and said, "I understand."Dexie was a little confused, so Luke said, "Let's go home first, and I'll tell you on the way."Reporters couldn't enter the Huxley family's house.Dexie nodded and went to the garage with Luke. The car drove out, and the garage exit was crowded with reporters. They frantically took pictures of Luke's car.Probably because there were too many people, the security guards couldn't stop them all. Dexie frowned and gave Luke a worried look.Luke seemed calm and composed as he drove

โShe wants to use this issue to kick you out.โ Dexie frowned and became even more worried.โThat wouldnโt be enough. Her little tricks wonโt scare me away. But they will make things difficult for me for a while,โ Luke shook his head and told Dexie.โWill it be troublesome?โ Dexie asked.โIt depends on how big the impact is,โ Luke said with a solemn expression on his face as he drove the car.โShe was well prepared, so the situation wouldnโt be easy, but the whip on the back canโt be too heavy. But if she doesnโt have a sense of achievement, her downfall wouldnโt be so crushing."โI have my arrangements. Just endure the gossip for a couple of days,โ Luke said with a stern expression on his face.โBut if you donโt go out and stay at home, the gossip wonโt reach your ears, and things will be fine.โDexie looked at Luke and shook her head, saying, โThere are only two days left until New Year. I want to go home to spend New Year with my family.โโDoes that mean you wonโt celebrate New Year

Danny's words caught Dexie completely off guard. She couldn't help but feel moved."Danny, are you doing this for my sake?" Dexie looked at Danny in disbelief, her eyes filled with surprise and incredulity.Danny nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, you are family to me. Dad said you would become my mom, eventually. Whatever happens, Dad and I will protect you. No one can intimidate you."The expression in Danny's eyes was firm and indeed, it seemed to convey that there was nothing strange about this.Dexie looked at Danny, feeling touched and happy in her heart, but at this moment, she couldn't express her emotions in words. She quickly reached out and gathered Danny into her arms to give him a tight hug because she was feeling overwhelmed."Sister, are you so moved?" After Dexie hugged Danny, she was surprised, but then gently patted him and said, "This is what men should do."Danny's blunt remark made Dexie even more moved, and she had a deeper understanding of Luke.In th

This matter was troublesome.โAre they in the restaurant right now?โ Dexie calmed down and asked.This batch of lunchboxes could not be returned. They would have to resolve it in some other way.โYes, they are in the restaurant,โ Eric quickly said, โIf this matter is not resolved, Iโm afraid of reporters will find out, and then it will be even worse for us.โโI know. Keep them occupied, and Iโll come soon.โDexie 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 not be able to do anything.When she thought about this, Dexie frowned and had a headache.What can be done about it?For now, their only option was to proceed cautiously and attempt to delay the process. 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 arr

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?

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, Williamโs 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, โMiss Hansley, youโre not deliberately promoting things to get in the headlines, are you?โUpon hearing this, Dexie was not offended but simply smiled at the reporter in the crowd and chuckled as she said, โYou probably havenโt 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. Wouldnโt that be counterproductive? Youโre joking, but that joke isnโt funny.โAfter 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, โAlright, everyone, please come in. If you want to take photos of something, do so, and if you have questions, ask.

โDexie, whatโs the point of ordering a cabinet disinfection machine now?โEric was confused and said, โThere are already several units in the store.โโThatโs not enough. By the way, instruct the staff to go to the store and remove all the cabinets from the cabinet machine so they donโt take up space. The kitchen will continue to operate as usual today. Thereโs 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,โ Dexie told Eric.โDexie, what do you want to do?โ 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.Dexieโs voice sounded extraordinarily calm and serene as she said, โEric, I have already thought of a solution, so donโt be anxious and do as I say. I will communicate with you later.โโHave you already figured out what to do?โ

โDid you just find out?โ Dexie asked with a gossipy expression.Luke nodded and said, โYes, I just found out, so Iโm telling you.โDexie was very puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, she said, โWith 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.โโAlthough my father doesnโt agree with this marriage, if she were an understanding person and advised my father, our relationship wouldnโt be so bad.โ Lukeโs tone of voice cooled.โSo when are you going to tell your father?โ Dexie asked.Luke sighed and told Dexie, โNot 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.โSo thatโs how it was.Dexie nodded and said to Luke, โWhat about...

As he spoke, he approached Dexie and once again tapped her cheek twice. The meaning couldnโt be more obvious.He had to kiss her. Dexieโs mouth pouted as she looked indignantly at Luke, then reluctantly moved and gave him a peck on the cheek while saying, โYou can say it now, right?โLuke said with a serious face, โI feel like there wasnโt enough sincerity.โ Luke seemed quite serious.Upon hearing this, Dexie snorted and said, โYouโre playing with me.โLuke laughed and said, โLetting my wife kiss me is not a joke, right?โDexie was defenseless and said, โSo, what do you want?โLuke calmly said, โJust a kiss on the lips.โUpon hearing this, Dexie blushed as she said, โLuke, you, you... rascal...โHowever, Luke acted pitifully as he said, โGod, to ask for a kiss from my wife, I even have to use this kind of trick. Donโt you think Iโm pitiful?โWhen he said that, he looked at Dexie with a pitiful expression, and his eyes were filled with complaints, as if Dexie had done something unforgiv

Dexie nodded as she looked at the distress and anguish in Sabrinaโs eyes, and couldnโt help but force a smile when she said to Sabrina, โI never expected that one day, meeting my mother would also require cunning.โSabrina smiled bitterly, her tone becoming helpless and sad as she told Dexie, โDexie, hold on a little longer. Just... you canโt reveal this matter to anyone now, for your safety. Your restaurant also has good business, so Iโm afraid it could cause trouble, so you must be more careful.โDexie smiled and said, โThereโs nothing to be aggrieved about when I can see mom. Iโm thrilled, and I wonโt tell anyone yet. Mom, be careful when you go back alone and donโt expose yourself.โAfter Dexie finished speaking, she wiped Sabrinaโs tears and took out her makeup cushion, asking, โDo you mind if I use this to fix momโs makeup?โ Sabrina quickly took Dexieโs hand and said, โSilly girl, why would mom mind?โDexie opened the cushion, dabbed away Sabrinaโs tear marks, before smiling and

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 of
