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.

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.

“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.”
