Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 552 Comeback

The threat in Maggie’s voice was evident, but she had overlooked the most important point.

Though Sebastian was a Taggart, he was not raised by them, and he had gotten everything he had through his own means. After his graduation, he began working for Nathaniel. To the Taggart family, Sebastian was insignificant.

Sebastian had advised Madison against her reckless endeavors out of courtesy, yet she was undeterred. In fact, she went so far overboard that she dragged her family down with her.

In any case, Sebastian did not owe the Taggart family a thing. Even if he did, he had cleared. his debts a long time ago.

The Taggart family not only knew about Manuel torturing him, but they also condoned it.

I do not deign to align myself with such a selfish family.

Sebastian understood Nathaniel. Despite his cold exterior, he values me enough, or he wouldn’t have entrusted me with the mission of setting Manuel up so he could come to the Taggart residence to cause trouble under the guise of a rescue mission.

Realizing that his carefully veiled plot was about to be exposed, Manuel was livid. “Watch your mouth, Sebastian!”

“Silence, Manuel!” Maggie snapped. “Let him finish.”

Manuel clenched his fists. Like a venomous snake himself, he fixed his glare upon Sebastian.

Sebastian smirked. “Secondly, Manuel intended to use me to strongarm Mr. Hadley. Failing to prove himself to lead the Taggart family, he intends to take a shortcut and blackmail Mr. Hadley for some money to show for his abilities.”
