Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me: Kabanata 231 - Kabanata 240

Ava had been married to a member of the Huxley family for many years, but she had not yet been added to the family tree. The Huxley family was a true blue-blooded family that had been established for thousands of years. Regardless of the era, they had always been the wealthiest family. The rules of the Huxley family dictated that none of the heirs could be involved in politics, and in case of any natural disaster or war, they would donate half of their assets. The family rules were strictly upheld, and all future generations were also required to follow the rules.Although Ava had married Victor and might inherit Victor’s wealth in the future, she was not qualified to enter the family tree. Only the first wife of the head of the Huxley family and the children of the first wife could enter the Huxley family tree. Even if there were other women, whether mistresses or second wives, they were not eligible. Even if, under pressure or for the benefit of the family, one married another woma

Luke’s smile slowly frozen.He looked at Dexie in shock, and after a long time, he forced a smile and said, “What’s wrong with you?”Dexie realized she had lost her composure.So what?Feeling an indescribable sadness and pain, she couldn’t stop her tears from falling. Her feelings for Luke made her feel sad and depressed.“Luke, I don’t want your ring, and I don’t want your affection.” Tears kept flowing from Dexie’s eyes, and she looked extremely aggrieved.Luke didn’t know how to console her. Dexie seemed even more aggrieved, and her tears kept falling as she said, “Take off this ring.”Luke could feel her strong resistance. She wasn’t just being shy or attempting to get it. She truly felt resistant and heartbroken.What’s going on? He frowned as he saw how emotional Dexie was, a

Her laughter made Dexie, who was crying, freeze. Then she frowned and pouted, looking at Luke angrily.“Luke, don’t laugh,” she said.“I... pfft hahaha... were you mad just because of that? I really can’t help it,” Luke replied. He tried to suppress his laughter to be more serious, but seeing Dexie’s face, he couldn’t help but laugh.He raised his head and burst out laughing, saying, “Dexie, I always thought you were a smart girl, but I didn’t expect to have overestimated you so much. Haha...”As Luke spoke, he continued to snort.Dexie frowned and glared at Luke as she roared, “Luke!”Luke snorted and said, “My bad, but I couldn’t help it. Tell me honestly, did you think I treated you like anyone else?”Upon hearing Luke address such a serious matter so trivially and seeing the cheerful

When Luke went to fetch the photo a moment ago, he didn’t pay attention at all. Resolving the misunderstanding brought her relief. As Luke spoke to her, he glanced around and sensed something was amiss. On the upper floor of the corner shelf were some boxes of different sizes and materials. The ones on top were probably not commonly used, but only one was locked. Dexie’s expression suddenly turned serious.She never expected to find the box so easily. The box appeared to be Jessebelle’s description of shape and material. Among the many boxes present, Luke had only closed this one, showing its importance. Dexie’s heart raced, feeling as though it might burst out of her chest at any moment. She was extremely nervous. Lowering her head and clenching her fists, she tried to calm herself down. Struggling to suppress her emotions, she reminded herself not to show her nerves, lest Luke notice. Taking a deep breath, she raised her head, her expression neutral.As if nothing had happened, she

Dexie didn’t understand Jocelyn’s words and said, “Mom, ugh... even though we have a marriage certificate, our relationship is still unstable. I just plan to visit you two alone and greet you both on New Year’s Day.”“Dexie, don’t worry. Even though the Hansley family is declining, we don’t want to have an advantage over you. However, you will eventually tie the knot, and it’s important to remember that you should marry him as the daughter of the Hansley family. You can’t marry him as the daughter of the William family. It’s not that I look down on them, but there really is a sizeable gap. Although the Hansley family is not as prominent, at least we are better off than the William family. Identity and status matter. I know you don’t like your sister, so don’t worry. I won’t let her come down tomorrow,” Jocelyn said seriously.“Don’t worry, our family has come to this point, so we feel regretful and guilty for what we did in the past. Paloma has been away from home for so many years, s
