A Crazy Night Novel

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.

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.”
