Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever

Chapter 299: Maxim Sinclair Warns Tina Huxley Again

Maxim Sinclair knew Tina Huxley well enough to know she wouldn’t just go looking for Summer Lowell without a reason.

Especially given how these two have been like oil and water previously.

No one in the Huxley Family is normal, and now with Tina showing up like this, she absolutely has a secret she can’t admit.

Maxim Sinclair pushed the door open, sat down opposite Tina Huxley, and got straight to the point, "Let’s be upfront here. Over the past couple of days, you’ve repeatedly visited Varden Villa and Summer’s studio. What exactly is your objective? If you have any demands or dissatisfaction, you can direct them at me, there’s no need to target her. The conflict between the Sinclair and Huxley families inadvertently involves her, and if she had a choice, she absolutely wouldn’t want to get involved."

"You seem to genuinely care about her," Tina Huxley’s eyes flared with self-mockery, "The more you do, the more ridiculous my past infatuation seems."

"Matters of the heart can never be forced. I’ve never had any special feelings for you, and I’ve told you directly many times, but you’ve just been deceiving yourself."

"Yes, you’re not at fault at all. The fault lies in my hopeless devotion, foolishly clinging onto you all these years."

Tina Huxley suddenly burst into laughter, a sound that sent chills down one’s spine, "You and Justin Huxley are alike in this; you never consider yourself at fault—it’s always someone else. But you’re slightly better, you have a knack for dealing with things, otherwise it wouldn’t be the Huxley Family losing now."

Maxim Sinclair didn’t want to chat about these emotional topics.

He impatiently tapped on the table, "I’ve already warned you. If you insist on being obstinate, don’t blame me for being harsh."

"Now that the Huxley Family is like this, what can I even do to resist what you want?"

Tina Huxley suddenly found everything so laughable.

Especially her past infatuation—it was even more laughable.

"What are you afraid of? Maxim Sinclair, is there anything in this world you fear?" Tina Huxley looked at him with a half-smile, her eyes carrying a hint of provocation.

Maxim Sinclair stared at her, silent for a long time.

Tina Huxley felt unnerved by his gaze, quickly admitting defeat, turning her head sideways, "Don’t look at me like that, I’m just teasing you. What, after all you’ve done to me, I can’t even joke a little?"

"Your mouth is yours, say whatever you want." Maxim Sinclair wasn’t bothered by her words.

He only cared about what Tina Huxley’s true motive for approaching Summer Lowell was.

"I don’t care what you’re thinking, but you’d best stay away from Summer. If it weren’t for your past actions, she wouldn’t be suffering like she is now."

Tina Huxley laughed.

"If we’re talking about fault, do you really think you’re much cleaner than I am?" Tina Huxley propped her chin with one hand, looking at Maxim Sinclair with a smile.

If it were before, in front of Maxim Sinclair, she would have paid attention to her image and maintained an elegant demeanor always.

But now, even if Maxim Sinclair turned around, she wouldn’t be with him.

So there’s no need to uphold an image.

"Do you think if I repeat what you’ve just said to Summer Lowell, word for word, she’d be displeased?"

Maxim Sinclair’s face darkened.

Finally having struck a nerve, Tina Huxley laughed out loud, "It’s amusing how, after knowing you for so many years, it’s the first time I’ve managed to render you speechless."

Tina Huxley was clearly in a paranoid and frantic state now.

There’s no point in talking further.

Anyway, nothing likely to be worth hearing would come from her mouth.

"You’ve understood my stance; the rest is for you to handle yourself," Maxim Sinclair stood up, not sparing her a glance, leaving a final word before walking out, "Consider carefully—given your current capabilities, if you infuriate me again, can you and your fragmented Huxley Family bear my wrath?"

Having said that, he left the room without turning back.

Sitting in her chair, Tina Huxley toyed with the table ornaments absentmindedly.

After a long, long time, she suddenly spoke up, "I know, the Huxley Family lost to you, naturally unable to bear your wrath. Summer Lowell was such an independent person, and she was so happy before knowing us. What I’m doing now is to help her reclaim her freedom, to leave this hellhole—also to repay her a favor."

Yesterday Maxim Sinclair warned Tina Huxley harshly, but today, Tina Huxley brought a self-made cake to Summer Lowell’s studio again.

When she arrived, Summer was in a meeting room for a meeting.

Tina Huxley patiently waited in the meeting room for a whole hour.

When the meeting finally ended, and Summer Lowell came out to find Tina Huxley visiting, having waited an hour, her feelings were so complex that words couldn’t express them.

Tina Huxley laughed and stood up, "Why, surprised to see me? Your expression looks so complex."

"No, you should have let me know you were coming! Making you wait for so long makes me feel bad." Summer Lowell smiled and invited her to sit down again, personally pouring coffee for Tina Huxley.

"I was passing by, and coincidentally had a cake I made specially today in the car, thinking of how hard you work, so I came up to see you. Although I’m not good at business, I’m quite skilled in making desserts. Try it; desserts can make people happy and relieve work stress. You designers especially need to release stress."

Since knowing Tina Huxley, Summer Lowell had never seen her so domestic, stunned for half a minute, before daring to believe the scene in front of her.

"Rest assured, this cake is fine; there’s nothing that shouldn’t be in it." Tina Huxley said, taking a spoonful from several corners of the cake and stuffing it into her own mouth.

"No, that’s not what I meant." Summer Lowell actually had that fleeting suspicion, but seeing Tina Huxley do that, dismissed it immediately.

"You should take a spoonful and try it." Tina Huxley handed her a silver spoon.

Unable to refuse the gesture, Summer Lowell picked up the spoon, dug a small piece of cake, and was about to put it in her mouth when Tina Huxley reached to snatch the spoon, stuffing the piece of cake into her own mouth again.

Summer Lowell was somewhat baffled by Tina Huxley’s action.

Tina Huxley then explained, "You see, I dared to eat the cake you randomly picked, so now you should feel assured about the cake, right?"

"I mean nothing by it, it’s just that our relationship has just changed, I’m still not quite used to it. I know you won’t harm me now, but I need some time to adjust." Summer Lowell awkwardly explained her feelings.

"I understand, I understand what you mean." Tina Huxley showed a row of white teeth with a smile.
