A Crazy Night Novel

Chapter 712 Change In Attitude

As a precaution. Preston decided to sound out Nathaniel.

“We’ve been acquainted for years, Mr. Lesley. Do you still not know me?” A cold smile formed on Nathaniel’s lips. “Sebastian is loyal to me. I won’t disappoint him just to please others. He deserves this.”

Nathaniel was right. He didn’t need to please others, for he had the quality of being the one others toadied to.

Preston stared at Nathaniel. He quickly came up with a plan and gave him a vague answer.

“Even though an elder brother can be considered a parent, my parents are still alive and well, so I can’t decide on my parents‘ behalf. I hope you can forgive me for that. The Lesley family isn’t a common household, so if Mr. Taggart wishes to continue staying by my sister’s side, he’ll have to follow the rules Following traditional marriage customs is a must. I’m sure that isn’t a difficult request.”

Preston’s change in attitude caught Sebastian off guard.

Despite the happiness within him, Sebastian forced himself to play it cool. “Rest assured, Mr. Lesley. I’ll respect Victoria’s and the Lesley family’s requests. I won’t let you down.”

He was eager to show Preston his sincerity toward Victoria, but he wasn’t a smooth talker.

Preston didn’t need Sebastian to persuade him with clichés. He gave him a long stare and warned, “Sebastian, remember your promise today.”

At that moment, David raced over with his secretary. “It’s my honor to have you both, Mr. Hadley and Mr. Lesley, attend my mother’s birthday banquet. I apologize in advance if there’s any lack of hospitality.”

David wasn’t hoping much when he sent the invitation to Nathaniel and Preston since it wouldn’t affect him in the slightest if the two didn’t show up, but if they did attend, his social status would rise.

He wouldn’t have to be cautious and check others‘ expressions in the future when he managed his company. Those people might end up being the ones who buttered up to him.
