“Nonsense! How can you be our new professor? Do you know where you are? This is the Department of Medicine at Johnston University, not some obscure university. You’re only a high school graduate, so how can you teach a group of top students at Johnston University? This must be the joke of the century!” Regina yelled.Regina wasn’t stupid enough to choose such a moment to argue with Dexie. However, she simply couldn’t live with the fact that not only was she inferior to Dexie in every other way, but now she had to be Dexie’s student.Regina had always felt superior to Dexie because she was a student at Johnston University. It didn’t bother her that her father had bought her way into the university.After all, she was a university student, while Dexie only had a high school education.Somehow, Dexie turned out to be the new professor employed by Johnston The classroom buzzed with quiet conversation as students settled in, but all Regina could feel was the burning sting of humiliation.Th

Luke’s frown deepened slightly. His eyes cooled as Roger rambled on.“She told me,” Roger continued, “that she plans to sell her shares in Hansley Corporation… all two billion dollars' worth, to start some new business.”Roger let out a scoffing laugh. “Young girl like her, never experienced the real world. She thinks success is that easy. I warned her—those shares were her mother's legacy. Blow through that money now… what's she going to rely on later?”Luke’s fingers tapped lightly on the teacup. His expression didn't shift, but there was a flicker of thought behind his eyes.“Did she say she’s selling all her shares?” Luke asked calmly.Roger nodded quickly. “That's right. Wouldn’t listen to reason no matter how much I tried.”Roger paused, watching Luke’s face carefully, then added, “She said she wants to prove something to you. That once she builds this business, once she stands out, you'll fall in love with her.”The only visible change was the faint tightening of Luke’s grip on

Shawn quickly relayed Dexie's instructions to the lab assistants, still unable to hide the excitement simmering beneath his usually composed exterior.Dexie, meanwhile, calmly removed her gloves and neatly organized the materials on the workstation, unaware of the approaching storm.Downstairs, the elevator doors slid open with a quiet hiss. Luke Huxley Dawson stepped out, his tailored black suit immaculate as always, his expression unreadable. Weldon followed behind him, clipboard in hand.“Sir, is there an issue with the project? Why visit the lab personally?” Weldon asked in a low voice.Luke adjusted his cufflinks. “I received a report that Johnston University sent over someone… unexpected to handle our pharmaceutical problem.”Weldon frowned. “Unexpected?”Luke didn’t respond. His sharp gaze swept across the lab as they approached.Inside, Shawn was still pacing excitedly when the lab doors opened.“Mr. Huxley Dawson!” Shawn straightened, startled by the sudden visit.The other re

The chauffeur and Weldon were speechless.Although the insulation panel was soundproof, it couldn’t completely block out the sound in the car. Thus, they had both heard what Dexie had said to Luke.They hadn’t expected Dexie to be so wild.They looked at each other and were relieved that the insulation panel was up.They had no desire to see any indecent acts performed by Luke and Dexie.They were glad they’d had the foresight to put the insulation panel up.They felt like they were Mr. Huxley Dawson’s right-hand man.Dexie had made that comment because Luke provoked her. She hadn’t expected her comments to make Weldon and the chauffeur think that way.Her eyes were clear and innocent as she calmly looked at Luke. She seemed to look at an immortal who was exuding divine light instead of a naked man. When Luke saw her gaze, he was speechless. Just like when Dexie was ready to watch Luke make a fool of himself, Luke suddenly pressed himself toward her. Surprised, she jumped up in astonis

Shaun saw Luke smiling when Dexie reluctantly sat down next to him.Immediately after that, Luke announced that the bonuses of all R&D employees would be tripled. Shaun wouldn't believe it had nothing to do with Dexie.Therefore, Shaun was very grateful to Dexie for her guidance in his research and also for his tripled bonus.Besides, Luke held Dexie in high regard. Sucking up to Dexie would only be helpful to Shaun.This was a common point Shaun and Weldon agreed on.Luke seemed to enjoy hearing other people address Dexie as "Mrs. Huxley Dawson." The smile on his face widened.Most importantly, Dexie didn't correct Shaun when he addressed her that way. Instead, he raised his glass in return and said, "Shaun, you're too kind."After sipping a sip of wine, the dishes were served.Besides the dishes the staff had ordered, Dexie quickly realized that most of them were her favorites.They accounted for more than half of the food on the table.Dexie was a person with a big appetite. Her eye
