Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever-Chapter 244: Justin Huxley Wants to Meet Summer Lowell
Maxim Sinclair, who was at his wit’s end, didn’t want to explain further, "I’m going out for a while. Try to persuade her to have dinner. She was just busy being angry with me and didn’t eat anything. Her body is still recovering from previous health issues."
Maxim Sinclair said this ostentatiously as he left the villa in front of Summer Lowell.
As Summer Lowell watched him leave, she felt relieved, but at the same time, her heart was filled with suffocating emotions. The housekeeper came over, persuading her with kind words to go back and eat.
The housekeeper was old enough to be Summer Lowell’s father and was so considerate in urging her to eat.
Summer Lowell didn’t have the heart to refuse his kindness, so she wandered aimlessly in the garden for a while to slightly alleviate her frustration before returning to the living room to eat.
But it was clear that this meal wouldn’t be enjoyable. Maxim Sinclair tapped her phone without permission, and he didn’t even seem to intend to apologize, appearing especially self-righteous.
Summer Lowell swallowed her anger, but she couldn’t confront him about it. The frustration was stuck in her chest, unbearable and oppressive.
This frustration wouldn’t dissipate in a day, and as long as it lingered, Summer Lowell didn’t want to engage with Maxim Sinclair.
And so, the villa once again plunged into a cold war between the male and female hosts.
Maxim Sinclair had stayed home to appease Summer Lowell in recent days, leaving behind a pile of work at the company. During this period, several long-term clients came to Stellarion, forcing Maxim Sinclair to temporarily leave Summer Lowell to entertain those clients.
Justin Huxley, entrusted with important tasks by Mrs. Huxley, after observing for a few days, turned his attention back to Summer Lowell.
But no matter how he tried, he couldn’t get in touch with Summer Lowell. Calls and social media messages sank like stones into the sea, with no response forthcoming.
Mrs. Huxley kept urging him day by day.
Justin Huxley was deeply irritated and turned his attention to Summer Lowell’s friend, Dr. Vivian Sullivan.
On this day, Dr. Sullivan was in consultation, and Justin Huxley managed to meet her during lunch break.
Under the pretense of delivering something, he subtly inquired about Summer Lowell.
Knowing Vivian Sullivan was always sharp, and considering Charles Jenson’s ambiguous relationship with her as the vice president of the Sinclair Group, Justin Huxley meticulously devised a unique way to probe for information to avoid arousing suspicion.
Under his deliberate guidance, Vivian Sullivan was successfully misled, believing he was worried about Summer Lowell and full of longing, which was why he sought her out.
Busy with work, overwhelmed with relationship troubles, and seeing a close friend trapped beside a business tycoon.
Every one of these head-aching matters tormented Vivian Sullivan, making her less sharp than usual. She only remained cautious at the beginning, soon letting her guard down and revealing Summer Lowell’s current situation.
Justin Huxley was struck with shock and delight upon hearing it.
Fate is truly not unkind to him.
Isn’t this yet another great opportunity being handed to him?
"Are you saying that Summer is now practically under house arrest?" Justin Huxley showed unabashed distress, "It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have foolishly brought her back to Stellarion."
"You can’t be blamed for this," Vivian Sullivan shook her head, "It’s Maxim Sinclair, after all. Who can compete with him? But Summer is now letting him manipulate her because he holds crucial evidence. He’s just a tool to her, and once her grievances are cleared, she’ll naturally find a way to sever ties with him."
When that time comes, Summer Lowell might not choose to stay in Stellarion. With Charles Jenson’s explanations, Vivian Sullivan now understands that the connection between the Huxley and Sinclair Families is unusually close.
After all that Summer Lowell has endured, she likely won’t want to have anything more to do with either family. In her position, she would also choose to flee as far as possible.
Justin Huxley calmly observed Vivian Sullivan’s expression, secretly speculating on her thoughts. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"As for the false charges against her," Justin Huxley said, looking ashamed, "It’s also my fault as her brother for failing to notice Tina Huxley’s malicious actions sooner."
Speaking of Tina Huxley, Vivian Sullivan had a belly full of complaints. If it weren’t for her, Summer Lowell wouldn’t have suffered so much.
But considering Tina Huxley is Justin Huxley’s cousin, she kept those complaints to herself.
Even when Justin Huxley brought it up himself.
She felt it was inappropriate to vent grievances following his lead.
"Actually, I’ve always wanted to apologize to Summer. It’s my lack of judgment and poor discipline that led her to suffer so much."
"That’s not necessary," Vivian Sullivan, discerning right from wrong, said, "You’re you, and Tina Huxley is Tina Huxley. She was the one who harmed Summer, and it had nothing to do with you."
"But I deceived Summer, claiming she was my girlfriend, especially when she had amnesia," Justin Huxley covered his face, his voice filled with remorse and self-reproach, "Maxim Sinclair probably took it out on her because of this, and I’ve been restrained by my family, unable even to go to Varden Villa to take her back. How can I be worthy of Summer’s sincere recognition as a senior?"
Vivian Sullivan initially felt touched by his apology, but seeing him repeatedly mention his guilt, she started feeling that something was off.
His reaction seemed to contain a strong element of performance.
Vivian Sullivan suddenly remembered Maxim Sinclair’s warning to her.
To plant a seed of doubt in a smart person’s heart, all it takes is time for it to take root and grow.
As suspicions arose in Vivian Sullivan’s mind, her encouragement of Justin Huxley became less sincere.
However, luckily, Justin Huxley didn’t cry for too long, soon revealing his true purpose: "I want to see Summer, to apologize to her and also to check on her. I’m seriously worried. After all, Maxim Sinclair is terrifying, and Summer can’t handle him. If I can see her, I’ll know if there’s anything I can do to help her."
Meet her?
Vivian Sullivan hesitated, uncertain which side to assist.
Summer Lowell seemed to trust Justin Huxley before, but Maxim Sinclair’s previous warning still lingered in her mind.
Vivian Sullivan was afraid of misjudging people and pushing Summer back into the fire pit.
Ultimately, Maxim Sinclair’s warning to Vivian Sullivan took effect, prompting her to consider her good friend Summer and refraining from immediately agreeing to Justin Huxley.
To avoid arousing suspicion or discouragement, she didn’t shut him down directly but rather conveyed that she rarely saw Summer herself, but if she did, she would pass his message and relay information between them as much as possible.
