Chapter 309: At the Brink of Life and Death, All I Want Is for You to Live
"Are you here to teach me a lesson too?"
Justin Huxley grabbed Summer Lowell’s chin with his left hand, forcing her to lift her head. "What right do you have to lecture me? If it weren’t for me back then, you might not have been able to continue school!"
"Yes, you helped me back then, and I am grateful for that, but that doesn’t give you the right to use me again and again later!"
Summer Lowell was also getting angry, she looked at Justin Huxley, "If you have the guts, kill me right now, anyway, I’m fed up with you people!"
"Summer, don’t provoke him," Maxim Sinclair took a few steps forward, grabbing the railing, and spoke loudly to Summer Lowell, "The person Justin Huxley hates most is me. The greatest grievance of his life is that he’s not as capable as I am and can’t enjoy the privileges I have. Don’t provoke him; you’re involved in this because of me."
"What? Are you acting arrogant in front of me because Maxim Sinclair cares about you?"
Justin Huxley raised his hand and slapped Summer Lowell again. "Since I’m destined for hell, I might as well take you with me. Without you, Maxim Sinclair will surely be in great pain, and just thinking about his pain makes me especially happy."
What a madman, also a pervert.
Summer Lowell broke free of her restraints with both hands, panicking as she tried to escape backward.
Justin Huxley, afraid that Maxim Sinclair would shoot him in the back, impatiently raised his gun and pointed it at Summer Lowell: "Don’t move, or this gun might actually go off!"
Maxim Sinclair saw this scene and grew even more anxious: "Justin Huxley, you coward, if you’re angry, come at me. What skill is it to bully around Summer Lowell? Besides, she’s the only one you dare to bully. If you have the guts, come fight me!"
"Rest assured, neither of you can escape; both of you will die here today."
Justin Huxley was provoked by Maxim Sinclair’s words, raised his gun, preparing to deal with him first.
At this moment, Summer Lowell suddenly turned around and looked at Maxim Sinclair, "Maxim Sinclair, I realize now that in my life I lack everything, except for your love for me! So, I’m sorry!"
"What... are you trying to do..."
The next moment, Summer Lowell opened her mouth and bit down hard on Justin Huxley’s wrist.
A wailing sound accompanied as fresh blood flowed down Summer Lowell’s hand.
Justin Huxley, in extreme pain, grabbed Summer Lowell by the collar and in a fit of rage, threw her into the sea.
"Summer..."
Seeing this, Maxim Sinclair also jumped down to save Summer Lowell.
Matthew arranged for several bodyguards to go down and rescue Maxim Sinclair and Summer Lowell, while he quickly returned to his own ship.
At this moment, Justin Huxley’s yacht suddenly exploded with a loud boom.
Due to the proximity of the two ships, Maxim Sinclair’s ship was also affected, causing giant waves on the sea, with Matthew and the other bodyguards falling into the water, unable to fend for themselves.
Maxim Sinclair found the inexperienced Summer Lowell in the water, held her by the waist, and swam to the surface.
Summer Lowell, in despair and worried about his arm wound, struggled hard, trying to push Maxim Sinclair away.
Both of them, one seriously injured, the other inexperienced in water, gradually lost strength in their struggle.
At the brink of life and death, Summer Lowell suddenly hugged Maxim Sinclair and kissed him, continuously passing air to him.
At this moment, she was already heartbroken, without any hope for the world, but Maxim Sinclair must live on; she didn’t want this man to continue making sacrifices for her.
Maxim Sinclair realized Summer Lowell’s intention, and forcibly passed the air back to her.
In the midst of their exchange, there was suddenly the sound of several splashes; the glaring orange-red light appeared—rescue personnel had arrived.
Exhausted, Summer Lowell was rescued onto the ship and passed out immediately before she could speak.
Maxim Sinclair, slightly better than her, held on, dressing his wound while talking to Noah, who had come to his rescue.
"Was the explosion arranged by you?" Maxim Sinclair glanced at the commotion in the distance and asked Noah.
Noah gently shook his head: "It wasn’t me, it was Tina Huxley. She harbors a deep grudge against Justin Huxley and had already bribed the people around him. Today was her arrangement."
"Then your appearance shouldn’t be a coincidence, right? You were aware of Tina Huxley’s plan?"
"Yes, I only received a message from Tina Huxley an hour ago. It was too dangerous; if I hadn’t seen the information, I wouldn’t have known what was happening now."
Matthew helped Maxim Sinclair stand up, and he nodded gratefully at Noah: "Today’s happenings, it’s all thanks to President Norris. Luckily, President Norris bears no grudge and was willing to lend a hand. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"President Sinclair is courteous. Summer Lowell is my most valued employee, and a talent I greatly admire. Her leaving the company has made me regret for a long time."
As they spoke, the two fell into silence.
After a while, Noah spoke again: "I know, President Sinclair still holds a grudge over that time when secrets were stolen from your side? But there was another hidden truth to that matter."
"I know," Maxim Sinclair abruptly interrupted him, "I know what you want to say. I’ve already investigated what actually happened back then. Summer Lowell indeed had no intention of stealing that document, but this matter isn’t important, at least it’s not important in the context of our relationship. What matters to me, Summer Lowell knows well."
"That’s good; Summer Lowell actually cares a lot about you. Even though she didn’t show it, I could tell she always had you in her heart. After this, I hope you and Summer Lowell can reconcile and start anew."
Noah offered his blessings sincerely.
For the first time, Maxim Sinclair was willing to look at him straight: "Thank you, President Norris, for your kind words. In her heart, Summer Lowell has always wanted to return to work under you as a designer. If you’re willing, you can invite her again once she recovers."
"Are you sure you’re willing to let her go, President Sinclair?"
Noah teased with a mischievous smile, "I have to remind President Sinclair, a month later, I will return to The Leonia Headquarters. If you let Summer go to work under me, I might have to take her back to Leonia, and from then on, it’ll be a long-distance situation. Are you truly content to let her go?"
Maxim Sinclair truly couldn’t let go.
"I’ve come to realize that the biggest obstacle between Summer and me is my unwillingness to let go," Maxim Sinclair shook his head with a bitter smile, "Catering to her wishes, what she probably wants most is to return under you as a designer. I wouldn’t trust anyone else; with you, I trust your character."
Maxim Sinclair’s words carried a hint of parting.
Noah hesitated for a moment before understanding: "Rest assured, President Sinclair, my family has arranged a marriage for me. For the family business, I have to marry, and I’m a bit of a clean freak. Since I chose that person as my wife, I naturally won’t do anything that would betray her."
"That’s good. I trust your character, President Norris. With your assurance, I feel more at ease."
Maxim Sinclair smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Let’s work together in the future. Coincidentally, I also have a few branches to be established in Leonia. Then we’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet."
"Then here, I wish President Sinclair an early realization of his hopes!"
Noah bowed respectfully, "As expected of the man who is always on Summer Lowell’s mind, truly extraordinary."
