It was hard for Christina not to notice Preston, who stood out in the crowd.
“Don’t be scared. He doesn’t know that you’re with me,” Christina comforted Victoria before looking toward the driver seat and saying to Lyle, “Drive to the underground parking.”
“Understood.” Lyle stepped on the accelerator and sped into Hadley Corporation’s underground parking.
When Preston looked up, he vaguely noticed a familiar face pass by him. With the reporters following him, his mood, which was already bad enough, plummeted further.
“Mr. Lesley, given that Lesley Group and Hadley Corporation are currently not collaborating on any projects, what’s the reason for your sudden visit to Hadley Corporation? Are you intending to talk to Mr. Hadley’s assistant about his relationship with Ms. Lesley?”
“Did Ms. Lesley break off her engagement because she was in love with someone else?”
“Mr. Lesley, is it true that Ms. Lesley and Mr. Taggart are currently dating?”
Preston halted his steps and cast a cold gaze at the reporters before arching his brows and replying, “Those are all rumors. My sister is not dating anyone at the moment. Anyway, she’s free to date whoever she wants. It’s none of anyone else’s business.”
Preston would never allow his sister, the daughter of the prestigious Lesley family, to marry a CEO’s assistant who was a nobody.
He planned to settle the matter privately, as he did not want to air his family’s dirty laundry in public.
It was true that he had gone to Hadley Corporation to seek an explanation from Sebastian. However, Nathaniel kept deflecting his questions. As such, two hours and countless cups of coffee later, he still had not gotten to meet Sebastian.
Obviously, Nathaniel was intentionally preventing him from meeting Sebastian!
Preston was aware that it would not be wise to fall out with Nathaniel over a mere assistant After all, his family’s interests should come before his sister’s relationship issues.
Just then, a bold reporter shoved the microphone in front of Preston and asked him a tricky question.
