Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever-Chapter 275: Too Smooth—Justin Huxley Feels Uneasy
Summer Lowell sat back in her seat, dazed for a moment, then took out her phone to browse the news she was halfway through before closing.
In that short time, many promotional articles praising Justin Huxley had appeared online.
They were filled with comments lauding him as the Huxley Family’s heaven-sent hero.
In addition to praising his bravery and ingenuity, the articles didn’t forget to belittle Maxim Sinclair.
After reading for a while, Summer also studied the stocks of both the Sinclair and Huxley families.
Omni Group’s stock price had risen sharply in consecutive days due to Justin Huxley, according to online commentators, it had been a long while since Omni Group saw such a large increase.
Although Sinclair Group’s stock price was affected slightly, the impact was not significant and the decline was not severe.
This is probably because Maxim Sinclair’s influence is greater than Justin Huxley’s.
Most people are probably still watching, waiting to see if Justin Huxley, the dark horse, will show a level more worth betting on than Maxim Sinclair.
Summer thought, glancing in the direction where Maxim Sinclair’s figure disappeared earlier.
This situation seems unfavorable to him, but given his personality, he shouldn’t be looking so resigned right now.
Maxim Sinclair’s current response seems more like calmness, with everything under control and composure.
He must have a backup plan!
At this moment, the sound of a car engine starting came from outside the window.
Summer quickly walked over to check. At the door downstairs, Maxim Sinclair was talking to Assistant Collins, and beside them stood a man wearing a hat and mask, with a face indistinguishable, and his back looked unfamiliar.
"Who is that person?"
Summer murmured softly, her gaze moving back and forth between the masked man and Maxim Sinclair.
Matthew, who was listening to Assistant Collins, sensed the gaze coming from the side and back, and quietly moved two steps to the right, observing through the car window glass.
Maxim Sinclair noticed his abnormality: "What’s wrong?"
"The Madam is behind the window, staring over here, watching for several minutes now."
Hearing this, Maxim Sinclair quickly turned around and caught Summer, who had no time to hide.
Summer initially felt a bit embarrassed, then quickly calmed down.
She didn’t deny what she had done before, nor did she intend to do anything more, after all, she was bound to leave here, whatever these people thought of her... just let it be.
Maxim Sinclair’s call came in: "I’m going to the company for a bit, I should be back soon, today’s a routine shareholders’ meeting, as the chairman, I cannot be absent."
"Go ahead, you don’t have to report to me," Summer found it baffling, Maxim had never reported his whereabouts to her before, "I just came to close the curtains."
"It’s necessary, you’re my wife, I should report my whereabouts to you." Maxim Sinclair’s smile was greasy, a bit creepy.
Summer couldn’t bear it and hung up the phone, then pulled the curtains tightly, finally stopping when she could no longer see the three people downstairs.
The curtains blocked Maxim Sinclair’s view, he put away his smile: "Let’s go, get in the car and head back to the company."
In the car, Matthew handed over the materials he had prepared in advance: "Justin Huxley, new to his position, started by handling employees and executives dissatisfied with him, Tina Huxley’s two uncles were among them."
"As expected," Maxim Sinclair didn’t show much surprise, "What about Julian Huxley? As the only one in the Huxley Family who can match Justin, where is he? I haven’t heard any news about him these past two days."
"I was just about to tell you," Matthew took out another document, "Julian Huxley secretly returned to the country three days ago, and is currently staying in a hotel under the Sinclair Group. The security company he hired to hide his whereabouts happens to be the one you put me in charge of."
"With so many security companies in Stellarion, he particularly chose the one you’re managing," Maxim Sinclair tapped the photo in his hand meaningfully, "Does he know about your relationship with this security company?"
"I guess he knows," Matthew’s tone was very certain, "I think Julian is reaching out to you, he’s waiting for you to seek a collaboration with him."
"Expecting me to approach him for cooperation?" Maxim Sinclair scoffed, "He doesn’t seem to weigh properly what he has to offer for me to consider working with him. It’s not like we haven’t helped him before, but what happened then? Now that Justin Huxley seems poised to take over the Huxley Family, he can only sneak back into the country. The Huxley Family sure produces a lot of failures."
Assistant Collins took the documents Maxim Sinclair handed over: "Given the current situation, Julian Huxley indeed needs external help. Should we lend him a hand?"
"Don’t be in a hurry; let him come to us when he can’t sit still," Maxim Sinclair closed the file, tossed it aside, and touched his upper teeth with a canine, "Collaborating with me comes at a great cost. When the time comes, depending on his sincerity, I’ll decide how much flesh to cut."
Assistant Collins and Matthew smiled knowingly at these words.
When Julian Huxley finally turns to seek help from Maxim Sinclair, who knows how much he’ll have to bleed. The Huxley Family has done so many alienating things, causing Maxim Sinclair’s relationships to be rocky too.
Combining both business and personal grievances, it would be surprising if Maxim Sinclair doesn’t bankrupt the Huxley Family.
Maxim Sinclair also clearly had this objective, resting his right hand lightly on his crossed long legs, he spoke with a tone full of sentiment: "I didn’t wait patiently for all these years for nothing, the opportunity finally came. The old saying is true, with big families like these, you have to break them from the inside."
"Old Master Huxley has been meticulous for so many years and hasn’t handed over the chairman position; the core reason is still that the younger generation of the Huxley Family isn’t outstanding enough. If he hadn’t always held the power, President Sinclair, you would’ve dealt with the Huxley Family long ago." Assistant Collins turned sideways, exchanging banter with Maxim Sinclair in the back seat.
"Speaking of which, I should thank Justin Huxley; if not for him, who knows how many more years it might have taken to bring down the Huxley Family!" Maxim Sinclair chuckled pleasantly a few times, "Of course, it would be even better if he didn’t have any untoward thoughts about Summer."
Meanwhile, being discussed by Maxim Sinclair and Assistant Collins, Justin Huxley was busy holding a meeting with his subordinates.
Half an hour ago, Justin Huxley successfully secured another long-term client previously in cooperation with Sinclair Group.
Counting this one, Justin has already poached the third client.
"At this rate, Maxim Sinclair won’t be far from being pulled down by the board," one of the executives in the meeting said smugly while holding a teacup.
Sitting at the head of the table, Justin Huxley felt a faint sense of unease upon hearing this.
Based on his understanding of Maxim Sinclair... the current situation shouldn’t be like this.
Maxim Sinclair seemed to show no real resistance at all, he shouldn’t be this incompetent.
Could it be that Maxim is lulling him into a false sense of security?
Does he have a backup plan?
The more Justin thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
