Semua Bab Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Dexie was even more surprised and said, “Both of them ran away?”Although it was the 21st century, people had the freedom to pursue their love and marriage: political marriages had never ceased to exist. Family background was more important than anything else. Wealthy families had instilled this value in their children from an early age, and they understood the dire consequences of deviating, which prevented them from fleeing hastily.Running away meant giving up the right to inheritance. Who would break ties with their immensely rich family for the sake of whimsical love? Because he was powerful enough, Luke could afford to go against the Huxley family.The idea of Luke’s determination and perseverance filled Dexie with pain. On the other end of the phone, Jessebelle continued and said, “They ran away and disappeared from everyone’s sight for two full years. Only two years later, I found Luke’s older brother and my cousin.”Dexie was surprised when she heard this. After a long time,

"Ah, Luke, no, I can do it myself." Dexie hurriedly turned off the water, but by the time she did, Luke had already made the call."Hello, is this the principal?" Holding his phone, he spoke as he walked away. It seemed like the other person had already answered the call."Oh, so the situation is like this... I wonder if there is a first-year student named Dexie Hansley in your school. Yes, yes, it's her."Luke winked at Dexie, then sat at the dining table and said solemnly, "Oh, nothing, she... She's my wife, um, yes, she's married; she is."Dexie looked at Luke in surprise and wondered how he could reveal such things so easily.This made her think of what Jessebelle had told her. He didn't seem concerned at all about his affairs being known. Instead, it seemed like he wanted as many people as possible to know.He looked at Dexie and saw Dexie's anxious expression. He shook his head slightly, as if to express that it didn't matter.Feeling a little helpless, Dexie frowned, but she co

Jessebelle looked around cautiously and after confirming that no one was paying attention to them, she said solemnly, “Dexie, I found out from my grandmother today that my cousin left a box.”With a perplexed expression, Dexie furrowed her brow and asked, “A box?”“Yes,” Jessebelle approached Dexie with an increasingly serious expression and said in a low voice, “If we find the box, we can uncover the truth.”“How did Mrs. Claire find out?” Dexie asked.Jessebelle lowered her voice and said, “When my cousin and Luke’s older brother had just returned, she left the box and told my grandmother.”Dexie couldn’t help but ask, “Where is that box right now?”“The box is still at the Huxley family’s house.” Looking at Dexie, Jessebelle’s expression was very solemn as she said, “It’s at Barrington Manor of the Huxley family.”“Barrington Manor?” Remembering something, Dexie furrowed her brow slightly.She had once gone to the Huxley family to deliver wine, and it was with Luke at Barrington Ma

Eric's expression sank as he said coldly, "Mom, are you still thinking about that ungrateful brat?""She is your sister no matter what. Our family is poor, so it's understandable that she doesn't want to acknowledge us," Howard quickly interjected.Thinking back to the day they were invited to attend Paloma's wedding and had an accident as a result, Dexie sighed.Paloma was very lucky. Both her biological parents and her adoptive parents treated her very well.When Eric saw Dexie was silent, he looked at his parents and said, "Stop talking, or Dexie will get angry.""No," Dexie shook her head and said, "You two have raised Paloma for so many years, so you should have affection for her, but... you have also seen that Paloma doesn't want to get involved with us. I have always wanted to come back, but the thought stopped me they only want money and don't want to see me. That's why I... haven't come to see you until now.""Paloma... ah, the poverty of our family marked her mentally. Dexie

“Using his slightly above-average appearance, he approached Mr. Huxley by unscrupulous means.”An elderly man looked Dexie up and down. His eyes had a disdainful and critical expression, as if to convey that Luke was out of Dexie’s league.The expression in his eyes made Dexie feel very uncomfortable, and she immediately frowned.In the room, five to six elderly people, all between sixty and eighty years old, heard the movement at the door and all looked. Among them, Luke’s father, Victor, was sitting next to Luke. Everyone looked at her with expressions of disdain and disapproval. Victor’s expression was even uglier. With an IV drip hanging next to his hands, he obviously attended the family meeting despite his illness.Dexie’s expression immediately turned ugly. She was really deceived and tricked into coming here.However, who would do such a thing? Dexie’s gaze immediately fell on Ava’s face.Dexie felt she was the most likely suspect.Ava was probably doing this to make things di
