Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever-Chapter 240: It’s Time to Make Them Regret

Ever since the incident with the transaction happened last time, Tina Huxley had been too embarrassed to face Justin Huxley.

When Mrs. Huxley called him this time, Tina complained while wanting to escape: "Brother Justin is so busy at the company, why did you call him back? I can handle this small matter myself."

"If you could handle it, that would be great," Mrs. Huxley sighed deeply several times, "What kind of fate is this of mine? All my children, not a single one is considerate."

"Then why don’t you transfer Brother Justin to our family, that way you’d have a considerate child," Tina nonchalantly sat down in front of the vanity, preparing to change her makeup.

She wasn’t in a good mood today, and she wanted to try something more vibrant.

"But let me remind you, Mom, Brother Justin is indeed impressive, but he’s still a bit lacking compared to Maxim Sinclair."

Seeing how anxious she was for her, Mrs. Huxley, unable to contain her disappointment, tapped her on the forehead: "Even if he’s not as good as Maxim Sinclair, he has his strengths, namely that he won’t harm you. Not like that Maxim Sinclair, who has repeatedly tried to send you to jail."

Perhaps Tina was utterly disheartened, having now come to terms with it; she even managed to joke with her mother: "There’s one thing I’m puzzled about. Our family and theirs have been friends for generations, couldn’t Dad or Grandpa just make a call and plead our case? Why are you so anxious?"

"If a phone call would work, would I need to be this anxious?" Mrs. Huxley’s heart ached with worry as she sipped on a steaming cup of herbal tea, "Maxim Sinclair is playing dumb, saying he knows nothing about this."

"Does he really not know, or is he just pretending?" Tina perked up, turning to look at her mother, a hint of a delusion she herself could hardly believe flickering in her heart.

Mrs. Huxley mercilessly burst her little bubble: "Your father arranged for someone to investigate. The legal team was handpicked by Maxim Sinclair himself in the Sinclair Group’s legal department. He’s taking this matter very seriously; it’s clear he wants you locked up."

Tina’s expression instantly crumbled: "We grew up together after all, is it really necessary to be so ruthless? For a woman he hasn’t known long, who’s even harmed him before, doing this is truly disheartening."

"Let it go, Tina, you and he are truly impossible," Mrs. Huxley’s heart ached for her daughter, "Maxim Sinclair is indeed ruthless. Even your grandfather was shaken by his tactics back in the day. If you actually married him, who knows how he’d toy with you in the future."

Tina knew her mother was right but couldn’t help feeling a bit unwilling in her heart.

"Even if I want to let it go now, it’s too late; he won’t let me off."

Mother and daughter fell into silence.

Justin Huxley knocked and entered: "Aunt, I heard Tina’s in trouble, is it serious?"

Seeing him arrive, Mrs. Huxley quickly wiped her eyes and got up to invite him to sit down.

"Justin, my good child, there’s only you left to help your sister. She’s so young, she can’t handle being tried and jailed!"

Then, Mrs. Huxley combined the words of Mr. Huxley and Tina, recounting everything to Justin Huxley in detail.

Justin, who already knew about the matter, fell silent for a while, looking at Mrs. Huxley with some difficulty: "You know how cunning Maxim Sinclair is, Aunt. This matter... will be hard to handle."

"I know too. I’m thinking of somehow lessening the severity of the outcome, paying compensation is one thing, but under no circumstances can your sister end up in jail."

Justin glanced at Tina sitting beside him, her expression seemingly indifferent, hesitating for a moment: "Tina, this time, her heart must be really hurt."

Tina’s facade of strength was shattered; she reddened her eyes and threw herself into her mother’s arms, reluctant to lift her head for a long time.

As Tina made a fuss, Mrs. Huxley’s eyes too began to well up, filled with distress. Patting her daughter’s back soothingly, she raised her head and, in a pleading tone, negotiated with Justin: "Although Tina made mistakes before and ruined your engagement, ultimately you are family; she calls you brother and has always admired you..."

Before she could finish, Justin interrupted: "Aunt, you don’t need to say more, I understand what you mean. Leave this matter to me, I’ll handle it as you wish. Paying compensation is fine, but under no circumstances can Tina be jailed."

"Right, right, any damages caused, our Huxley family will pay. The Sinclair and Huxley families have been friends for generations, there’s no need to tear things apart to such an extent. The older generations could still meet and talk cheerfully, there’s no reason for the younger ones to fight to the point of sending each other to jail."

After discussing things among themselves, Assistant Collins delivered the message to Maxim Sinclair.

"Mrs. Huxley hastily called Justin back home, and half an hour later, the lawyer who has served Old Master Huxley’s generation arrived. They are likely discussing how to handle the lawsuit now."

Maxim Sinclair nodded, indicating he was aware: "Continue to proceed as planned."

Assistant Collins smiled: "Stellart is holding a meeting, and according to our plan, the news has probably spread up and down Stellart."

"Hmph, it’s about time they regret it."

Stellart.

Noah sat motionless in the chair, watching alongside the branch office’s senior executives as headquarters management argued noisily on the large screen at the front.

This was an online meeting between the branch and headquarters, discussing an incident where a shareholder from headquarters, abusing personal vengeance and accepting bribes, disregarded company interests to collude with outsiders and frame the former design director, forcing them out.

The headquarters had been quarrelling for more than twenty minutes. Annoyance flashed across Noah’s face as he propped his head up with his hand, watching the two who had begun to shout at each other on the screen with cold eyes.

Thankfully, he wasn’t the only one reaching his limit; even Nathan Adler, the partner with the most authority, finally couldn’t stand it and slammed the table.

The two, flushed with anger, finally quieted down.

Nathan Adler shot an impatient glance at them, then raised his head to look towards the screen, asking Noah: "What do you think about this matter?"

"I still say the same thing, go through the procedures and sue to reclaim all company losses." Noah clearly did not want to discuss it further. "Old Aldridge, you know well enough, President Lowell, I have defended her continuously, and my reputation has plummeted as a result. I won’t repeat the comments about me within the company. The shareholders have been dissatisfied with me, blaming me for not managing the Stellarion branch well, causing the company to lose so much profit. Now that the real culprit has emerged, we must reclaim all losses."

Nathan Adler nodded: "Understood, then proceed as you said. File a lawsuit and report to the police, let them handle the shareholder bribery case as well."
