Chapter 6: Divorce on Her Terms
Last Updated:
2024-05-10 06:41:19Lindy promised herself—one day, she’d return the humiliation she suffered today.
The thought only fueled her desire. Her ambitions burned hotter than ever.
But the moment she looked up, her smile froze.
Luke wasn’t following Dexie to the Civil Affairs Office to finalize their divorce.
He was walking back toward the building, his face dark, unreadable.
Lindy’s eyes dimmed for a second, but she quickly gathered herself.
When Luke got close, she leaned in, her expression soft and hurt, fishing for sympathy.
“Mr. Huxley Dawson…” she whispered.
Luke stared at her, silent.
Lindy’s heart jumped. His silence… that was a good sign, right?
Her cheeks flushed with excitement. She clenched her fists to hide it.
He must like me.
Why else didn’t he defend Dexie earlier? His silence… wasn’t that his quiet admission?
Lindy could already picture it—her, Mrs. Huxley Dawson.
But the next second, Luke’s voice cut through her fantasy. Cold. Sharp.
“What did you say to Dexie when she came here?”
Lindy’s heart skipped a beat. Panic bubbled up.
“I… I didn’t say anything. She called me a bitch… said you didn’t go home all day because… because of me…”
She stammered, her fear clashing with the tiny shred of pride in her voice.
Luke didn’t answer. He simply walked past her.
For a moment, Lindy thought maybe he believed her…
Until she heard him say to Weldon,
“Send her to the Finance Department. Let her collect her back pay. After that, make sure she leaves Huxley Dawson Corporation. For good.”
Lindy’s face drained of color.
She spun around, reaching for him.
“Mr… Mr. Huxley Dawson!”
But Weldon blocked her path. Calm. Ruthless.
“Mr. Huxley Dawson doesn’t like troublemakers,” Weldon said flatly.
“We’ve got plenty of secretaries to take him to dinner. You weren’t special.”
The truth hit her harder than the words.
Weldon arranged those dinners… not Luke.
Weldon’s eyes narrowed, his voice laced with mockery.
“Mrs. Huxley Dawson was right. You are as dumb as a pig. And the dumbest part? You thought you could fool him. You just wasted your only chance to be honest.”
Lindy’s legs felt weak. Her arrogance collapsed into fear.
Getting fired wasn’t the scary part.
The real nightmare?
Mr. Huxley Dawson fired her.
What major company would ever hire her now?
Her mind spun. She couldn’t accept it. Couldn’t believe it.
Didn’t Luke hate his wife?
Why… why defend Dexie?
“Mr… Mr. Weldon…” Lindy’s voice trembled. “I… I know I was wrong… please… I won’t do it again…”
Weldon didn’t even blink.
“It’s too late.”
Lindy’s heart dropped.
And in that moment, she realized…
Huxley Dawson wasn’t just a company.
It was a battlefield.
And she’d already lost.
Weldon wasn’t stupid enough to offend his already frustrated boss by siding with someone like Lindy.
He used to think the women working at Huxley Dawson Corporation had at least some common sense.
Clearly, he’d overestimated them.
Ambition made them reckless.
And today? It made Lindy stupid.
Weldon’s eyes stayed cold as he told her,
“You’d better leave quietly. If you make a scene, security will throw you out. It’ll be ugly.”
“Mr. Weldon! Please—”
Lindy’s voice cracked with desperation, but it was too late.
The Shaw Lounge was packed with employees, watching the show.
No one stepped in to help her.
Why would they?
Earlier, Lindy strutted around like she owned the place, thinking two dinners with the president made her special.
Now? She was a joke.
No one wanted to be dragged down with her.
Weldon turned away and stepped into the elevator, but the unease in his chest didn’t fade.
His boss’s cold, stormy face hovered in his mind.
And something else nagged at him…
Why was Mrs. Huxley Dawson so desperate for a divorce?
What Weldon didn’t know was… Dexie wasn’t exactly happy about it either.
Just as the elevator doors slid shut, his phone rang.
Dexie.
She only called when she couldn’t reach Luke.
But today? The tension in the air shifted.
Weldon hesitated.
A secretary rushed over.
“Mr. Weldon, the president is looking for you.”
“…Alright.”
He shoved the ringing phone into his pocket and headed to the office.
The moment Luke spotted the caller ID, his icy stare could’ve frozen the room.
Weldon quickly held out the phone.
“It’s… It’s Mrs. Huxley Dawson.”
Luke’s face darkened, his jaw clenched tight.
Weldon thought he was good at reading his boss. But right now? He wasn’t so sure.
“Should I… answer it?” he asked cautiously.
The phone kept ringing.
The tension thickened like fog.
Luke’s eyes were storms barely contained.
“Answer it,” he snapped.
Weldon obeyed, switching to speaker.
Dexie’s sharp, impatient voice cut through the room.
“Mr. Weldon, tell Luke my time isn’t his to waste. If he doesn’t have time for a divorce today, he needs to say when. I don’t have patience for games.”
Weldon broke into a cold sweat. He glanced nervously at Luke, but his boss stayed silent.
“Uh… Mrs. Huxley Dawson,” Weldon stammered. “Mr. Huxley Dawson is… very busy today. Important matters. Please, wait a little longer. I’ll ask him when he’s free…”
“Fine. But tell him to hurry up. No need to waste time over something as simple as a divorce.”
Weldon opened his mouth but froze as Luke snatched the phone.
“Dexie—”
The line went dead.
Dexie had hung up before he could finish.
Luke’s face darkened even further. His expression turned terrifying.
Weldon stood frozen, a chill creeping down his spine.
Dexie had never hung up on Luke before.
The tension snapped like a breaking wire.
Luke’s frustration boiled over.
That damn woman… she really dared to turn her back on him.

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 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? 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...
