Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever-Chapter 108: Tina Huxley’s Overwhelming Sense of Defeat

While looking for contact information, Tina Huxley responded perfunctorily to Mrs. Huxley: "Got it, I’ll make a phone call and then come down to chat with Aunt."

"Don’t be busy looking for things yet. Let me ask you, what happened to you today? I saw you in the yard just now, and you didn’t look well. You were frowning. Who upset you?"

Mrs. Huxley sat down opposite Tina, full of concern.

Tina, feeling irritated, tossed her phone aside and ran her hand through her hair: "It’s nothing. Just now, when Nina and I were playing outside, I saw Maxim Sinclair with a woman, pulling and tugging, and suddenly, it just felt so pointless."

Seeing her eyes red, Mrs. Huxley embraced her with reluctance and comforted her for a while before saying: "The woman you mentioned, is it that beautiful secretary you mentioned before?"

Tina nodded: "Yes, the secretary I mentioned before who was hiding beside Maxim and stealing documents. She’s done such things, yet Maxim still can’t forget her. I don’t know what kind of potion he’s taken. If it were anyone else, Maxim would have dealt with her long ago."

"Men always think what’s unattainable is the best. Maybe that woman’s means are really outstanding," Mrs. Huxley patted her back, patiently comforting her, "Don’t be too sad. Your Aunt Sinclair called me this morning, inviting me for dinner tonight at her place, and she said she wants to bring you along. She really likes you."

"But she can’t decide Maxim Sinclair’s marriage," Tina shook her head in frustration, "A few days ago, I went to Sinclair Group to discuss a project, and I heard gossip that Aunt Sinclair went to the company every day some time ago but never got to see Maxim. He was clearly in the company, but people outside insisted he was out socializing. He’s clearly refusing to see his mom."

"Really such a thing?" Mrs. Huxley was also shocked. After the surprise, she looked at Tina’s expression and cautiously asked, "Do you really like him that much? It’s so tiring. Can’t we like someone else?"

"No, I must marry Maxim Sinclair!" Tina looked up at Mrs. Huxley, "Dad said to use every means to marry him. If I fail, it will affect his inheritance of the Huxley Family’s assets."

The Huxley Family, due to Old Master Huxley’s romantic affairs, has a bunch of legitimate heirs.

The inherently suspicious Old Master Huxley has yet to decide who will inherit this vast Huxley Family business.

For now, he’s the one holding the chairman position.

Although Tina’s father temporarily manages the vast majority of the Huxley Family business, this doesn’t mean he can confidently inherit everything from Old Master Huxley.

Especially now, as there’s an exceptionally outstanding Julian Huxley emerging from the first branch.

Since Julian Huxley turned the tide and revived all the overseas businesses of the Huxley Family, Old Master Huxley praises him every time he mentions him.

He even brought it up during the New Year’s dinner, asking him to return to develop locally.

Although Julian refused at that time, this matter has been stuck in Tina’s father’s mind.

He’s worried Julian might appear out of nowhere and take away the domestic assets of the Huxley Family. So, he had the idea of having Tina marry into a strong family to give himself more leverage in inheriting.

After much deliberation, Maxim Sinclair was the only candidate who met their requirements.

As long as Tina could successfully marry him, it would be a sure thing that her father would inherit the chairman position from Old Master Huxley.

Aware of the stakes, Mrs. Huxley gently sighed: "If that’s the case, then let’s think of other ways. In my opinion, Maxim Sinclair is just toying with that secretary. With his vision and mind, he naturally knows how much a good marriage can help his career."

"Who knows when he’ll understand this," Tina said, feeling dejected and listless, playing with a small object in her hand, "I originally wanted to find Vaughn, he’s on good terms with that secretary. I wanted him to figure out a way to send that secretary back to Leonia so she wouldn’t stay here."

"Justin is out, he should be back in the evening. Wait for him to return and discuss with him," Mrs. Huxley patted Tina on the back of her head. "Now come downstairs with me. Your aunt is sitting alone in the living room. It’s inappropriate to leave her alone like that!"

Tina stuffed her phone into her pocket, grabbed the pillow beside her, and hugged it: "I’ll go down later. I’ll adjust my mood first so that my aunt won’t think I have issues with her."

Mrs. Huxley thought about it and agreed: "Alright then, but don’t take too long. Come down soon!"

In the living room downstairs, Tina’s aunt, Mrs. Huxley’s younger sister Paige Everett, jokingly said: "What’s going on with Tina? She wouldn’t be upset because I said something to her earlier, would she?"

"How could that be? Don’t overthink it," Mrs. Huxley smiled, "She’s been really busy these days. She said she has some urgent matters to deal with. She’ll be down soon. I’ve already talked to her."

Paige immediately noticed that Mrs. Huxley was not in a good mood. She put down her things, and sat on the sofa with her, staring at Mrs. Huxley with keen eyes: "What’s really going on? You were fine just now, but after going upstairs, you don’t seem so happy."

"Really?" Mrs. Huxley instinctively raised her hand to touch her face, "Is it that obvious?"

"Come on, tell me. What’s going on? I’m smart, I can definitely help you."

Mrs. Huxley looked at Paige, thought for a moment, and then lowered her voice: "It’s nothing, just about Tina’s marriage."

"Tina’s marriage?" Paige repeated, then nodded repeatedly, "Right, Tina is at the age to get married. But her marriage is quite important and needs to be a union, right? It would help your second branch if she marries into a powerful family... right?"

Mrs. Huxley nodded, her face full of helplessness, "Isn’t that right?"

"Don’t worry, Tina is still young. There are plenty of suitable boys around. By the way, does she have someone in mind?"

"Yes, there is someone," Mrs. Huxley sighed, "but the problem is, the other party has no intention of marrying Tina."

"Who is it? Tell me, let me hear."

"Maxim Sinclair, you know, he became the head of the Sinclair Family at a young age. No one can make decisions for him."

"Him, huh. He’s indeed formidable. If Tina really ends up with him, then you won’t have to worry anymore." Paige nodded thoughtfully, "But, he disagrees?"

"He personally isn’t interested. We’ve also tried to reach out to his mother, but she can’t influence him at all. It’s quite troublesome now. I can’t keep having Tina chasing after him; if it gets too big, it won’t be good for her future matches."
