Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me

"You can go." Luke said this to Miller and Warry, who were standing in front of him. After the two men left, Luke's face darkened significantly. Leaning back in the leather chair, his cold eyes darkened. Luke didn't believe that Dexie had truly accepted the divorce. How was it possible that someone who had firmly refused to divorce the day before, resolved the marriage in just one day and accepted the divorce? He thought. Luke sarcastically scoffed and ignored the divorce papers that Miller had brought. After suppressing the inexplicable frustration he felt, Luke searched for the official documents on the table and glanced through them. However, he couldn't register a single word he read. "Mrs. Huxley Dawson, are you leaving?" The maid asked when she saw Dexie coming down the stairs with her luggage. Everyone in the Huxley Dawson family knew about the strained relationship between Dexie and Luke. In addition, some members of the extended Huxley Dawson family even knew that L

Some spectators who had gathered couldn't help but laugh quietly when they heard Dexie's words. Although they tried to hide their laughter, Cindy could still hear it, and her face darkened. When Dexie entered the building, Cindy deliberately raised her voice to attract the attention of the other workers, intending to embarrass Dexie in front of everyone. However, Cindy ended up embarrassing herself publicly. She is only a secretary in the secretary's office, and she is not responsible for important work. While attending business parties with Luke, Cindy would only be taken if Luke needed a female companion at the event. After all, she had the best appearance and figure in the office. However, what Cindy thought was her advantage over others turned her into a joke among the rest. This interaction had turned her into a flirtatious employee and someone the president would take to ordinary business parties to entertain the businessmen he couldn't be bothered to personally deal with

One day, she promised herself that she would repay the humiliation she had received that day. As Cindy thought about this, her desire grew stronger, and her ambitions expanded. When she looked up, she noticed that Luke Huxley had not followed Dexie to the Office of Civil Matters to finalize the divorce. Instead, he returned with a gloomy expression.Cindy's beautiful eyes darkened imperceptibly. As Luke Huxleyapproached her, she put on a hurt expression, hoping to evoke sympathy from him."Mr. Dawson..."Luke Huxley looked at her without saying a word. Cindy interpreted this as a positive sign, and her heart raced. Blushing, Cindy gave Luke Huxley a sheepish look, feeling so excited that she clenched her fists tightly.She believed that Mr. Dawson liked her. Otherwise, why hadn't he explained anything to Dexie when she misunderstood their relationship?Did it mean he had acknowledged it? Cindy could almost envision her future as Mrs. Dawson. In the next moment, she spoke with determi

Dexie, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. I'm so happy you're back. If I had known earlier, I would have asked the servants to prepare some of your favorite foods. Dexie was upset that Sarry referred to herself as "Mom." She ignored Sarry's words and entered the hallway. There, she noticed a girl sitting on the couch and stared at her. The girl was emaciated, with sickly pale cheeks and colorless lips. She was Roxane Domino, Rodel and Sarry's illegitimate daughter. She resulted from Dexie's father's infidelity towards his mother. When Dexie was a child, she had a soft spot for little Roxane, treating her like a sister because the poor girl had lost her father. However, Roxane was not as pitiful as Dexie had thought. In fact, she was only a few months younger than Dexie. She was now wearing a snow-white woolen sweater over a knitted light brown dress. Her long black hair covered her shoulders, and her sickly face gave a deceptively delicate impression. Roxane noticed Dexie

Rodel knew that when he took over the Hansley Corporation, he would undoubtedly go after Dexie. However, he was deeply concerned about Luke Huxley's opinion of her and didn't want to believe that he saw her as a burden.Luke Huxley's gaze didn't linger on Roxane for long, causingRodel's heart ached at the sight of his beloved daughter in such a pitiful state.Roxane,a premature baby born with congenital heart disease and suffering from a heart condition, had been living as Rodel's stepdaughter for over a decade to protect his reputation. Rodel adored her deeply, andHe was heartbroken and dejected after witnessing how others mistreated her. Despite everything, Roxane was still his sister-in-law, and Rodel couldn't understand how Luke Huxley could say such hurtful things about her.The weak smile on Luke Huxley's face faded as he narrowed his eyes slightly at Rodel. His stony gaze made Rodel feel pressured and diminished his confidence. "Are you accusing me of supporting my wife in o
