Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever

Chapter 286: Revised Acquisition Plan

"Oh, I forgot," Maxim Sinclair pulled out a wet wipe, cleaning off the dirty smudge on his wrist, "tell Charles Jenson to remind Vivian Sullivan not to get involved in Justin Huxley’s matters."

"President Jennings just informed me that there wouldn’t be any issues with Vivian Sullivan. She’s not that foolish. Besides, the weight of Justin Huxley with her isn’t significant. Whether she gets involved or not ultimately depends on what the Madam wants."

Assistant Collins touched the tip of his nose while speaking, not daring to say more.

Maxim Sinclair smiled dismissively, turning around to organize the documents behind the desk.

As soon as he sat down, the phone on the side rang. Picking it up, he saw it was a call from Old Master Sinclair.

Maxim Sinclair lightly tapped his fingers on the desktop and said to Assistant Collins, who hadn’t left yet, "If I’m not wrong, the chairman of Omni Group should have visited the old master at the sanatorium by now."

"Does Chairman Huxley know it’s you pulling the strings behind all this?"

Assistant Collins was shocked.

"He should be able to guess. Don’t underestimate his abilities. If he hadn’t been protecting Omni Group, I’d have swallowed up Huxley Family’s business long ago."

With that, Maxim Sinclair answered the phone.

As expected, on the other end, Old Master Sinclair mentioned the recent commotion caused by the Huxley Family.

After talking for a while, the topic shifted: "Today, Hughes came to plead with me. I’m asking you, what have you done to the Huxley Family? I haven’t been keeping up with the news lately, but it’s the first time I’ve seen Hughes looking so defeated."

"Not much, really. Omni Group is about to fall apart. I just acquired some more shares of Omni Group yesterday, and with a bit more, I should become the major shareholder of Omni Group."

Maxim Sinclair stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the world-famous landmark in the distance, "This has been your wish for years, hasn’t it? I’ve helped you fulfill it, isn’t that good?"

On the other end of the phone, Old Master Sinclair laughed heartily: "You’re indeed the most outstanding member of the Sinclair Family. I knew The Sinclair Group would definitely thrive in your hands. In just a few years, you’ve fulfilled my wish. What Hughes envies most now is having such an excellent grandson like you."

"It’s all thanks to your guidance. Without you, I wouldn’t be so excellent," Maxim Sinclair modestly responded, then continued, "As for Chairman Huxley, you can just brush him off. The main show hasn’t even started yet."

"Alright, that’s enough. Don’t overdo it. Your reputation in Stellarion hasn’t been very good recently. If you act too ruthlessly, people might easily become wary of you. Especially since the commotion regarding how you dealt with those siblings hasn’t died down yet, it’s better to slow down a bit." Old Master Sinclair’s laughter faded, and he earnestly advised Maxim Sinclair.

Maxim Sinclair, who initially intended to go all out, had to temporarily change his mind at the old master’s instruction: "Alright then, I’ll discuss things with the people below and adjust the plan. Otherwise... we’ll just take the shares, become the largest shareholder of Omni Group, and then slowly watch it decline."

"That would be a waste of money. You should hold off for now, and don’t let the Huxley Family find out about your shares. Stay behind the scenes, and after a couple of years, when the situation has calmed down and Omni Group has declined, you can then acquire Omni Group. By that time, the outside perception should improve."

Maxim Sinclair, who didn’t care much about external opinions, reluctantly agreed, "In the past, when I first took over The Sinclair Group, external opinions weren’t good either, but so what? I still expanded The Sinclair Group by twice its size!"

"No matter how formidable you are, you can’t provoke external wariness. If they secretly unite against you over time, it will be detrimental to The Sinclair Group."

Old Master Sinclair said, waving off his butler who was urging him, "Alright, I won’t talk any longer. I know why you hate the Huxleys so much, but the girl is already by your side now. If you truly like her, treat her sincerely, and don’t mess around with these unnecessary things."

Maxim Sinclair smiled, didn’t respond, and after comforting Old Master Sinclair with a few words, he hung up the phone.

Having overheard some of the conversation, Assistant Collins, who hadn’t left and was waiting for Maxim Sinclair to give new orders, asked, "I heard you say you will change the plan?"

"Yes! Change the plan. For now, we won’t acquire Omni Group. Have Matthew and the others act discreetly, just take down a few of Justin Huxley’s deals," Maxim Sinclair held onto his phone, "Let’s spare them for now, wait until later when everyone knows Omni Group is on the verge of bankruptcy, and then I’ll acquire it."

The people below had been preparing for so long, waiting for that key moment to deliver a fatal blow to completely acquire Omni Group, sweeping away the previous grudge of losing business.

And at this crucial point, Maxim Sinclair decided to change the plan?

Assistant Collins thought about Matthew and others working overnight to revise plans, bearing black circles under their eyes, and couldn’t help but persuade: "President Sinclair, perhaps you should reconsider. Now is the best opportunity. If the Huxley family finds a chance to turn the tables, it won’t be easy to bring them down again."

"This is an order from the old master. That old chairman of the Huxley Family has already pleaded before him. Besides, with what I did to the illegitimate children, I was too ruthless, making outsiders feel I’m too vicious. The old master is worried that if this continues, those collaborating with the Huxley Family might secretly unite with other businesses to ostracize me. After all, when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold."

Upon hearing this, Assistant Collins had no choice but to retract his persuasion and nodded, indicating that he would pass on the latest orders to the people below.

Meanwhile, at Varden Villa.

Summer Lowell, who just woke up from a nap, was absent-mindedly eating her meal.

She thought about what Vivian Sullivan had told her before. Now everyone in Stellarion knew about the Huxley family’s affair, and she had no idea what state Justin Huxley was in.

He had schemed for so many years, and just when victory was within reach, he couldn’t fulfill his wishes due to the formidable opponent, Maxim Sinclair.

Previously, she thought she was fortunate to have met the senior who helped her in her youth in Stellarion.

But in fact, the good senior probably harbored intentions of use once he learned of her relationship with Maxim Sinclair.

Summer Lowell navigated to those financial media outlets she had previously followed.

"New developments in Huxley family’s succession battle: Justin Huxley likely to be defeated!"

As she read, Summer Lowell couldn’t help but read the headline aloud.

"So interested in the Huxley affair?"

A familiar voice came from behind, causing Summer Lowell’s back to stiffen. She continued to scroll through the news on her phone without turning back to pay attention to Maxim Sinclair.

Maxim Sinclair didn’t bother with such trivial matters and leaned in, placing his hand on her shoulder while looking down at the news on her phone: "Want to know what state your senior is in now? Why not ask me? I know the most detailed information."
