Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever-Chapter 259: I Don’t Want to Give Up This Year’s Opportunity

Assistant Collins sighed in frustration, shaking his head, "Dealing with these shareholders every time is like losing half a life."

"You’ve worked hard. I’ll make sure your year-end bonus is bigger to soothe your battered spirit," Maxim Sinclair joked with a smile, then turned to Matthew, "Continue."

"We’ve found that Justin Huxley is ruthless. He took the opportunity while Tina’s father and Julian Huxley were secretly fighting and snatched two of Julian’s business lines. These two lines are extremely important to Julian, accounting for 60% of his income."

"Justin’s bite is indeed vicious," Maxim twirled the ring on his finger, "Did Tina’s father not suspect anything unusual?"

"No, Justin covered it up well. He created a facade, leading Tina’s father to believe that local overseas Chinese took advantage, unaware that the real boss behind the scenes was Justin," Matthew reported, opening the materials he had gathered and explaining them to Maxim.

Maxim watched coldly, then chuckled after a moment, "At this rate, the Sinclair Family empire painstakingly built by Old Master Huxley could be entirely consumed by their internal strife."

Assistant Collins chimed in with a hint of sarcasm, "Old Master Huxley still clings to the chairman position, unwilling to relinquish power. Perhaps now he’s facing the consequences." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Yes, Old Master Huxley hasn’t given up his power because, on one hand, he is old and needs this kind of authority to satisfy his vanity. On the other hand, the Huxley Family lacks the boldness he had back then when he started from scratch and built an empire capable of rivaling the Sinclair Group in Stellarion."

Maxim picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and continued from where he left off, "Ever since I took over, Old Master Huxley has tried to take advantage of my youth to overshadow Sinclair Group and even dreamt of swallowing it whole."

Assistant Collins took the opportunity to flatter him, "Thankfully, it’s you who leads the Sinclair Family, preventing the Huxley Family from succeeding."

"It’s merely a temporary victory. The Sinclair Family and the Huxley Family are destined to have a showdown. There is too much overlap between our businesses, with nearly half being in competitive industries. Even if I can tolerate them, they certainly can’t tolerate me," Maxim put down the cup and gently stroked the files Matthew had brought, "Now the conflict is at a boiling point. Victory or defeat will be decided within the next year or two."

Regarding the two families’ rivalry, Summer Lowell, being someone intricately linked with both families, couldn’t avoid this topic.

Maxim tapped on Justin Huxley’s photo on the file and looked up at Matthew, "Are you sure Justin approached Summer for cooperation, aiming to steal first-hand information from our side?"

Matthew wished he could say it wasn’t true, but the facts were right in front of him. Maxim had also heard this news from at least three different sources confirming that Justin tried every means to collaborate with Summer.

He hesitated but insisted on his earlier statement, "The information I got indicates Justin approached Mrs. Sinclair for a partnership. You know, Justin has been arranging meetings with her through Dr. Sullivan."

"Of course, I’m aware." Maxim rubbed his fingers, "Justin is truly obnoxious. Once this is over, I won’t let him off easily."

The other two knew exactly what annoyed Maxim.

After speaking, Maxim’s expression suddenly turned peculiar, "I find it strange. If Summer really decided to team up with Justin, why hasn’t she made a move yet? The relevant documents in the study are just sitting there. What’s she hesitating for?"

Assistant Collins carefully watched his expression and, based on what he knew of Maxim, ventured to say what Maxim might want to hear, "Could it be that Mrs. Sinclair only pretended to agree, with no actual intention of cooperating, constrained by Dr. Sullivan’s involvement?"

Maxim laughed at this suggestion, "The scenario you propose is what I wish for, but unfortunately, it’s an impossible assumption. I know Summer well. If she didn’t want to work with Justin, she’d outright refuse; she wouldn’t engage in such... roundabout tactics."

"There’s always a chance," the work was exhausting enough, and planning against the Huxley Family was not a task to be taken lightly. Assistant Collins really didn’t want personal emotions tangled in his job; he wasn’t a professional romance counselor, after all. "Why don’t you talk with Mrs. Sinclair, President?"

"No, if we really have an open discussion, Summer will only ask for her freedom," Maxim pinched his fingers, "After fighting for a year, finally there’s an opportunity for her to see my true feelings. Whether we can succeed depends on cultivating this relationship over the year. How can I just let go of such a valuable opportunity?"

What a mess!

Matthew listened silently, noticing Assistant Collins wanted to continue persuading but shook his head to stop him.

Assistant Collins caught the hint, sighed quietly, and gave up trying to persuade Maxim further.

Forget it, saying more won’t help.

The boss’s personal matters should be handled by him.

Although anyone could see that his approach was unwise.

Assistant Collins, lost in thought, recalled Maxim’s complicated family background.

Coming from such a family, perhaps his affairs of the heart couldn’t be straightforward.

But fortunately, for many years, Maxim had always been proper, focusing on his career and never creating any romantic troubles.

Someone as clean and devoted, once Summer figured things out, they’d likely reunite.

By then, their good days would begin, ending the constant anxiety.

Due to Maxim’s suspicions about Summer’s relationship with Justin, Matthew’s workload had doubled.

Even when Summer and Maxim had first reconnected, Matthew hadn’t been this overwhelmed.

Besides monitoring Justin’s business moves, he also had to watch Summer to see if she might betray or secretly rekindle a connection with Justin.

There was never a moment of peace.

Hopefully, these days will end soon!

...

Justin Huxley sat in the conference room, face grim, listening to his subordinates’ reports.

Assistant Cameron Young noticed his expression, hesitantly pushed a file in front of him, "Mr. Huxley, the Verdane land deal, Sinclair Family’s channels are too formidable, I fear we can’t compete."

"Have all methods been exhausted?" Justin took the file, reviewing it with a dark expression.
