Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever

Chapter 308: Maxim Sinclair Self-Harms for Love

Maxim Sinclair looked at the nearly frantic Justin Huxley, not daring to provoke him, and for once, his tone carried a hint of plea: "Whatever demands you have, just speak up. As long as you don’t harm Summer Lowell—she used to respect you so much. Will you let her go? If you have anything against someone, direct it at me instead."

"Stop acting like a hero saving the damsel in distress in front of me. I hate the way you don’t have to do anything, yet there are crowds of people eager to help you!"

The more Justin shouted, the more hysterical he became, causing Summer, whom he held hostage, to tremble with fear.

After Justin finished shouting and saw that Maxim indeed had no intention of advancing further, he sneered with satisfaction: "Want to save Summer, huh? All right, as long as you please me, I’ll give her back to you."

"What exactly do you want?"

"It’s simple, why don’t you stab yourself seven times to show me your sincerity."

"No way!" Summer immediately interrupted, "Justin Huxley, calm down. If you let me go now, I won’t press charges. I believe you don’t want legal trouble. If you harm Maxim Sinclair, there will be no turning back for you. Think carefully."

"I don’t need you reminding me," the enraged Justin Huxley pulled a gun from somewhere and pressed it to Summer’s head, glaring at Maxim Sinclair, "You better hurry up, if you’re too slow, do you believe I might just blow her brains out!"

"You wouldn’t dare!"

Maxim Sinclair’s expression darkened, "If you dare hurt her even a little, I’ll make sure there’s no place in heaven or on earth where you can escape!"

"I have nowhere left to go anyway," Justin Huxley impatiently brandished the gun in his hand, reminding Maxim Sinclair, who just boarded the ship, "My patience is running thin. Summer’s life is in your hands now. Don’t you love her so much? Here’s your chance to prove it."

"Maxim Sinclair, don’t listen to him. He’s just a madman."

"Hurry up... I’ll count to three..."

"Okay."

Hence, in the incredulous gaze of Summer, Maxim Sinclair picked up the dagger Justin Huxley tossed over and, thrust by thrust, pierced his own left arm.

Silent tears streamed down Summer’s face, her throat rendered speechless, she shook her head unable to utter a word.

Justin Huxley’s features twisted even more as he leaned close to Summer’s ear and whispered, "So, are you happy now? Maxim Sinclair really cares about you, but the more he does, the more I want to kill you!"

"Justin Huxley, you are truly a madman!"

"Is that so? I can be even crazier."

Seeing that he seemed intent on harming Summer, Maxim Sinclair tossed aside the dagger in his hand and threatened loudly, "I’ve already met your demand. You better let Summer go quickly, or I won’t let you off easily."

"Don’t use those words to threaten me. Why? Why do you get to have so much just from being born! Why do I have to be sent abroad, unable to return home to live? I’m a child of the Huxley Family too! Just because the woman who bore me isn’t of high status, should I have to wander outside?"

Summer was dragged behind, restrained by him.

Maxim Sinclair, worried about Summer, was enraged again by Justin Huxley’s words: "All those things you’re complaining about are the Huxley Family’s debt to you, but Summer has nothing to do with it. You’re a coward, afraid to take on the Huxley Family, yet you bully a woman like Summer. I look down on you!"

"What right do you have to look down on me? Besides, how is Summer innocent? She promised to collaborate with me, but reneged! She’s not innocent at all."

Justin Huxley shouted, as if desperately trying to prove something.

Maxim Sinclair pushed away the bodyguard who tried to help bandage his wound, looking at the insane Justin Huxley, "I knew from the start you were using Summer against me. No, let me correct that, from the moment you returned to the country, I knew why you came back, so everything you did after returning was within my control. From the beginning, you had no chance of beating me!"

"Maxim Sinclair, are you crazy? At a time like this, you’re still provoking him!"

Summer interjected, shouting to interrupt Maxim Sinclair’s words, "Your arm is injured, quickly let someone help stop the bleeding, do you not care about your life anymore?"

"Look at that, Maxim Sinclair, your efforts weren’t wasted! Summer keeps saying she hates you, wants to leave you, but now she’s really concerned about you!" Justin Huxley continued to sarcastically taunt Maxim Sinclair, "You’re really concerned about Summer too, starting to take the blame for her!"

Maxim Sinclair took a few steps forward again, "Justin Huxley, do you think someone with Summer’s intelligence could engage in a business war? She’s just a designer; she didn’t team up with me to deal with you. You’re giving Summer too much credit. In this matter, I’m the one truly in control. If you want to hate someone, hate me. I’ve been watching you resist, leading yourself to ruin the whole time!"

"Shut up!"

Justin Huxley raised his hand and fired a shot at Maxim Sinclair’s feet.

Seeing the situation, Matthew hurriedly brought people forward to protect Maxim Sinclair, "President Sinclair, he’s mad, you should step back a bit. We’ve already arranged for people to go around from behind to save madam, don’t provoke him now, it won’t be good for anyone if he gets agitated!"

Maxim Sinclair, his mind swirling with thoughts, only provoked Justin Huxley more with his words, after Justin fired a shot: "How does it feel? Hurts more, doesn’t it? You always held yourself to be no lesser than me, in your eyes, you always thought I achieved my position because of the Sinclair Family’s power, didn’t you?"

"Isn’t that the case? You were just born lucky, the son of the wife of the household. Look at your illegitimate siblings, how miserable you made them, their abilities aren’t necessarily inferior to yours, no? But unfortunately, they’re not as lucky in birth as you, forcibly cast lower than you."

Saying that, Justin Huxley let out two eerie laughs: "If I get rid of you today, then the Sinclair Family might descend into chaos, right? You’ve grown the Sinclair Group to such a sizeable scale, even if shared among your many siblings, it would still ensure their worry-free lives for the rest of their days."

"You’re always blaming this and that, insatiable," Maxim Sinclair laughed disdainfully, "Justin Huxley, let me tell you, even if Old Master Huxley had raised you as the heir, in charge of the Omni Group from childhood, you wouldn’t be a match for me."

"Bullshit! Don’t mention all those ’ifs’ that can’t even happen! If we start over, it’s still uncertain who’s stronger now!"

Summer looked at Maxim Sinclair, who wanted to speak again, and called out, interrupting the spar between the two: "Maxim Sinclair, can’t you stop provoking him?!"

"Summer, want to regain your freedom? I have another gun here, as long as you use it to kill Maxim Sinclair, I’ll absolutely set you free."

Justin Huxley shouted loudly, speaking as he looked at Maxim Sinclair not far away, his eyes glinting with madness.

"You’re dreaming!"
