Justin Huxley didn't speak immediately. He slowly finished the tea in his cup before he spoke, "I came to see you today to ask if you'd like to collaborate with me?"
Summer Lowell was somewhat unclear about his intentions, or rather, she had an idea but was unwilling to believe that Justin's purpose aligned with her own suspicions.
This person had helped her countless times when she was young and helpless. To her, he was someone of great significance.
But...
"You and I can work together, I'll stall Maxim Sinclair from the outside, giving you time and space to escape." Justin didn't elaborate further, "So, are you willing to collaborate with me?"
Once Summer realized that his so-called collaboration was exactly what she didn't want to admit, she firmly refused, "I know the Huxley and Sinclair families have always been in both open and hidden conflicts, but I don't belong to either family, and I don't want to get involved in their struggles."
