Chapter 279: Justin Still Has His Eyes on Summer Lowell
"It’s not to the point of mutual loathing," Justin Huxley said as he swung his club and glanced at Cameron Young’s face. "So what’s your take on him now? Not from a cooperative angle, but purely from your own emotional perspective."
"No opinion. Right now, the most important thing is to coax him into signing the contract for that hill. Once it’s signed, and he has no chance to back out, then my feelings will actually matter," Cameron Young smiled indifferently. Justin’s current question was truly insincere.
He had been so earnest before, saying all the right things just to get her to agree to play the emotional card with that person in charge.
In order to secure that hill’s contract.
She hid her dissatisfaction well, and Justin didn’t notice it.
Or perhaps it was because Justin wasn’t concerned with her emotions at the moment.
What Justin was preoccupied with now was Summer Lowell, who was still trapped in Varden Villa.
Ever since that time in the small park, when Summer refused to leave with him and declined his generous offer, Justin couldn’t help but think of her whenever he had a moment to spare.
He felt he understood Maxim Sinclair’s feelings now.
No wonder Maxim couldn’t forget Summer.
Summer is indeed different from the average woman.
If he could also win her to his side, it would be the ultimate all-round triumph over Maxim Sinclair.
The true winner in life!
Thinking of this, Justin swung his club again: "Cameron, do you remember Summer Lowell?"
Cameron was taken aback, not understanding why he would ask that.
Of course she remembered Summer.
These days, anyone with a little inside information would know about Summer Lowell.
A miraculous woman who had been engaged to both the Huxley and Sinclair Families.
The two men entangled with her were still in competition, each excelling in their own right.
Lately, women in their circle interested in Maxim Sinclair and Justin Huxley were secretly studying Summer.
Everyone was curious about why Summer could make those two men so devoted and persistent.
Maxim Sinclair already knew that Justin was using Summer to gather information from his side.
Which meant that Summer wasn’t of much use to Justin anymore.
So why was Justin bringing her up again now?
While Cameron was still puzzling over it, Justin put away his club and revealed his reason for bringing up Summer: "Cameron, do you think Summer and I are a good match?"
"Huh?" Cameron looked at Justin dumbfounded, but quickly regained composure, seriously assessing Justin up and down before speaking slowly, "Just in terms of appearance, you match well. Both of you are good-looking; any kids you have probably wouldn’t turn out badly."
"And if we don’t consider appearances? Are we still a match?" Justin’s words seemed to intentionally provoke, pressing Cameron with seemingly absurd questions, "My career is advancing smoothly, but I still lack a capable partner. After thinking long and hard, I find Summer suitable; I’ve known her for years and understand her character."
"Without the superior looks, Miss Lowell wouldn’t quite match up to you, sir. The shareholders probably wouldn’t approve of this marriage either, given that she’s been with Maxim Sinclair," Cameron weighed her club while walking alongside Justin, secretly criticizing him in her mind.
What nerve struck him to think about Summer Lowell again?
Did he and Maxim Sinclair have some kind of undisclosed grudge?
Otherwise, why would he want to take his business first, and now his woman?
Even the greatest animosity wouldn’t justify such extreme measures!
If Justin really ended up taking Summer, one could only imagine how the outside world would gossip about these three.
Not to mention, there’s also Tina Huxley from the Huxley Family, who pines for Maxim Sinclair in vain.
The relationships in these wealthy families are intricate and melodramatic indeed.
While Cameron was lost in thought, Justin fell silent for a while but eventually couldn’t hold back: "I don’t know, I just keep thinking about Summer recently. She helped me with this matter, and with Maxim Sinclair likely bullying her in private, I really want her by my side."
"So, sir, you plan to rescue Miss Lowell?" Cameron assumed he intended to play the hero, "But now may not be the best time. You’ve just gained real power and your position isn’t stable. I’d suggest marrying a woman who can aid your career; the other houses in the Huxley Family are all eager to act. You need a strong father-in-law to help hold the fort."
Justin was naturally aware of the pros and cons Cameron analyzed.
"It’s possible to have both; if I could, I’d marry someone with a powerful family background. As for Summer, I wouldn’t mind being in contact with her privately," Justin spoke with a confidence as if he was certain Summer would not reject him.
Cameron listened with her head lowered, hiding the mockery on her face.
Ever since Justin gained power, he had been targeting the Sinclair Family. Whether Maxim Sinclair was lying low or had other plans was unclear.
Many in the company were uneasy, fearing that Maxim might suddenly strike hard and take them all down.
It wasn’t like such things hadn’t occurred before.
But it seemed like Justin, whether out of hubris or carelessness, didn’t care about Maxim’s reaction, intensifying efforts to take over projects under the Sinclair Group’s name.
His actions had even alerted Old Master Huxley, who personally called to warn Justin not to be so greedy and hasty.
Maxim Sinclair’s current position wasn’t achieved by luck; he truly had skills.
Fortunately, after Old Master Huxley’s warning, Justin moderated his approach somewhat.
He didn’t continue blatantly taking over the Sinclair Group’s business.
But now he had started musing over Summer Lowell, who had caused Maxim a few defeats.
"If we’re talking about who came first, when I first met Summer, Maxim Sinclair was back in the country undergoing his successor training," Justin said, swinging the club with resentment, sending the ball flying into the distance.
Following along, Cameron reminded him patiently: "But when it comes to matters of the heart, there’s no such thing as first come, first served. Miss Lowell came to Stellarion and met Maxim Sinclair while you were abroad. Besides, there was such a long gap where you and Miss Lowell didn’t meet. Young love is fragile, and after such a long time, I wouldn’t recommend going back to it."
"Well said," Justin nodded in agreement, "But I don’t intend to follow your advice. As for Summer, I’m determined to have her."
"..."
"Besides, the chance to be with me, Justin Huxley, she would barely have time to be grateful!"
Seeing his determination, Cameron had no choice but to close her mouth and continue playing golf alongside him.
