Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever-Chapter 165: Justin Guides Vivian to Gather Information

The butler watched her come from the corner of the wall, unable to resist glancing in that direction twice. Seeing this, Melanie Sinclair smiled and explained, "I noticed the mural over there is quite distinctive, so I took a closer look. You don’t mind, do you?"

"Why would Miss Sinclair say such a thing? The mural is hung there for people to see naturally."

The butler handed the items in his hands to Melanie Sinclair. "These are what the elder Sir asked the young master to find for him. They’re all in this box. You can just take the box back and give it to the elder Sir."

Melanie Sinclair took the box, placed it on the table, and uncontrollably yawned. "I was called early by Grandpa to help today and didn’t sleep well. I’m afraid I’ll be too tired to drive back later. Is it possible to stay a while longer? I remember the coffee here is especially good. I’d like to shamelessly ask for a cup."

Having said this, the butler dared not refuse verbally. "Okay, I’ll get you some coffee right away."

"No need, Butler. I wouldn’t dare trouble you. Just get a maid to serve the coffee. I noticed you were busy earlier, so you should continue your work. Once I finish my coffee and take a short nap, I’ll leave immediately. I won’t go upstairs or wander around. I’ll just rest here."

Melanie Sinclair spoke so sincerely that the butler had no choice but to comply. He summoned a maid, instructing her to properly attend to Melanie Sinclair, then turned and left the living room to continue his tasks in the courtyard.

Watching the butler return to the garden to continue helping, Melanie Sinclair took the opportunity before the maid arrived to sneak back to the wall, pretending to admire the mural while eavesdropping on two maids chatting.

Only after listening to the entire conversation did she turn and leave.

...

Vivian Sullivan messaged Summer Lowell daily, asking when she would return and expressing her concern, wanting to meet her.

Trapped at home by Maxim Sinclair, Summer Lowell couldn’t leave at all. To prevent Vivian Sullivan from worrying, she kept emphasizing that she was still out of town and couldn’t return.

After repeating this several times, Vivian Sullivan, who knew her very well, found it increasingly strange.

Finally sensing something was wrong, Vivian Sullivan pondered for a while, then took a cab to Justin Huxley’s company to probe for information.

After all, Justin Huxley and the Sinclair Family had been family friends for generations. He should know something about Maxim Sinclair’s side of things.

Justin Huxley took Vivian Sullivan to his office, offering coffee with a feigned ignorance, "Didn’t you say the study program has more than half a month to end? Why are you looking for me at this time? Shouldn’t you look for Summer first when you got out?"

"I looked for her. She says she’s not in Stellarion now, but I always feel she’s lying to me. I’m a bit worried about her and thought I’d come to you for some insight."

"Really? I’ve been busy with work in the past few days, so I’m not clear about her situation. How about I call her for you now?"

Vivian Sullivan declined with a shake of her head, "I think just calling might be useless. I want to ask if Maxim Sinclair has been in the country recently?"

"He has." Justin Huxley, vaguely guessing what Maxim did to Summer Lowe, nodded and deliberately led Vivian Sullivan, "I even saw him yesterday while entertaining clients. Oh, and I heard he’s been coming home quite early these last few days. He lives at Varden Villa, and I remember you said Summer is also staying around there, right?"

"That explains a lot." Vivian Sullivan’s face paled slightly. "I’m very worried about Summer’s current situation."

Having quietly investigated Vivian Sullivan and knowing her close relations with Charles Jenson, Justin Huxley’s eyes flickered as he hinted meaningfully, "It’s a pity that Maxim is now quite guarded towards me because of my brother’s incident. When I want to meet him, I can’t. We have to find a way to investigate Summer’s situation, otherwise I truly won’t be at ease."

Under his deliberate hint, Vivian Sullivan thought of her ex-boyfriend Charles Jenson.

Charles Jenson, as the deputy general manager of the Sinclair Group, is Maxim Sinclair’s most trusted assistant. He must know the current situation within Maxim’s dealings.

"I may have a way for this." Vivian Sullivan seemingly made up her mind, nodding resolutely, "I happen to know someone who can gather news."

"That’s really great." Justin Huxley displayed appropriate surprise, then casually inquired about the details, "But if it’s convenient, could you tell me who the person is? After all, I know quite a few people on the Sinclair side, and I might be able to help you with some ideas."

Hesitating for a moment, Vivian Sullivan finally spoke, "Charles Jenson, he’s my ex-boyfriend."

Justin Huxley slightly frowned, looking at her with concern, "That’s not very good, is it? If you go to him, I’m afraid you’ll be wronged."

"It probably won’t happen. I still have leverage over him. I’ll just probe for some information first, though I can’t guarantee. But I must try it out. If Summer is really in trouble, even if I risk my life, I must save her."

"It’s not that severe yet," Justin Huxley comforted her, "Not when I’m here. If situations truly aren’t ideal, make sure to inform me immediately. Although my influence isn’t particularly strong right now, I still have the ability to get Summer out. What’s the big deal with falling out entirely with Maxim Sinclair? I’m not afraid. At worst, I won’t return to Stellarion. We all could go back to Leonia. For Summer, I would do anything."

Hearing Justin’s words, Vivian Sullivan let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, with those words of yours, my mind is at ease. You truly are the good senior Summer has cherished for many years."

Justin Huxley shook his head, sighing, "It’s a pity I left Leonia because of family issues back then. Otherwise, Summer wouldn’t have been so unfortunate to meet Maxim Sinclair."

"Talking about all that is useless. Now that things are at this point, we can only find a way to resolve them." Vivian Sullivan downed the last sip of her coffee, tossed the cup into the trash can beside her, and stood up, "I’m going to see Charles Jenson now to see if I can get any information."

"But you still need to protect yourself. As Charles Jenson climbed to the position of Deputy General Manager, he must have superior skills. If ever wrong, make sure to send me a message right away, okay?" Justin Huxley worriedly followed her all the way to the elevator, continuously reminding Vivian Sullivan. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Rest assured, I’ve had training. Charles Jenson isn’t my opponent." Vivian Sullivan smiled, indicating she could handle it, then waved at him and walked into the elevator, "Go back to your work. I’ll inform you as soon as I have news. It should be fine."

Watching as the elevator doors closed, Justin Huxley gradually withdrew the smile on his face. "You really must succeed. I’m still waiting on your firsthand news. Don’t let me down."
