As she spoke, Dexie remained calm the entire time, and her coldness easily shattered Narda's arrogance. In fact, behind Narda's haughty attitude was a pathetic emptiness. Soon, Narda could no longer contain her anger, and her face twisted in frustration. She shook violently."How dare you compare Luke Huxley to a toilet?""Wow! Not bad. Her language skills have already improved in such a short time."“I'm an excellent teacher, right? So, you also understand that you represent the worm in the metaphor, correct? You and Luke Huxley are. "You don't have to worry about anything, because no one can steal it from you."After finishing the last sentence, Dexie let out a big smile and walked away. Narda stared at her in disbelief."Dexie Hansley!"Through gritted teeth, Narda muttered softly.Narda's plan called for her to confront Dexie and celebrate her victory. She anticipated Dexie to be inconsolable and retreat from the scene in te

Two years later, an accident caused Dexie to forget her past. A roller coaster of events and surprising secrets were revealed. Her first year was too hurtful, but a year later, things became lighter, and she faced it with a new version of Dexie.One day, Dexie realized her hands were tied to the bed frame. Despite her struggles, the rope wound around her wrists tightened."Arghh..." she groaned and blinked as she tried to adjust to her dark surroundings. Then, she examined the surrounding area.An imposing silhouette stood at the foot of the bed, staring at her. The sparse points of light in the room seemed to converge within his eyes."Who are you? What do you plan to do?" Dexie asked cautiously, doing her best to suppress the fear and dread that gripped her heart."Since you are already here, what's the point of pretending ignorance?" said the man, his voice low and hoarse.In the darkness, she couldn't distinguish his appearance. She could only feel his icy eyes scanning over her

If there was anyone who still cared about her, it was Jocelyn, the maternal figure who had raised her. But based on her reaction, Dexie concluded that, despite Jocelyn rearing her, she was nothing compared to the daughter Jocelyn had given birth to. She merely presented Jocelyn with a dilemma. "If that's the case, Dexie, I've got a job interview. You can follow it. Once done, I will help you with your job hunt. I am confident that many organizations will want to hire you based only on your abilities. Previously, you had to appear foolish to accommodate Paloma. You've really suffered," Jessebelle replied. As she spoke, she assisted Dexie in cleaning up. They covered up all her injuries and scars before leaving. A crowd of young women filled the reception area outside the CEO's office on the top floor of the Huxley Conglomerate Towers, each of whom was a job candidate. "Dexie, if they call me by name later, please help me. I can't hold it any longer," Jessebelle squeezed her abdomen

Dexie took the brick away from the boy and then casually removed the instruction manual from his hand, placing it between them. The boy frowned but didn’t resist. Dexie was delighted with this development and smiled as she said, “Let’s play together.”The boy, momentarily paralyzed, then nodded in agreement.Dexie had never studied child psychology, so she thought little about what the boy’s actions implied. She simply saw it as a normal reaction. The two then focused on assembling the structure.Before they knew it, the sky had darkened. The two, one older and one younger, remained in the room, putting the model together. Halfway through, they drank some water and ate some snacks that Dexie had taken from the room’s mini-fridge. Both were so absorbed that they lost track of time.Dexie exhaled a breath of relief as they successfully assembled the last component. She looked at the boy and chuckled, saying, “Wonderful! We finally finished assembling it.” She stretched her shoulders

Dexie took a step back and swallowed a gulp of saliva. She smiled bitterly as she said, "I... Honestly, I have no intention of accepting this job. Honestly, I was just...""You were just planning to temporarily substitute for your friend, right?" Luke's expression darkened slightly as he looked at Dexie coldly.Dexie nodded. "Yes, I know nothing about child psychology or autism...""I don't like it when people reject my offers," Luke announced coldly."But why me? Mr. Huxley, you are probably someone who doesn't lack money. You wouldn't have trouble hiring someone specializing in childcare. I'm not doing this because I can't differentiate between right and wrong, or because I'm unwilling. It's just... I'm afraid I won't do well."Dexie, feeling helpless, explained her position to Luke. She didn't dare say too much either. After all, rumors said Luke was a ruthless and heartless person. She was just the adopted daughter of the insignificant Hansley family. She couldn't afford to offend
