A Crazy Night Novel

Even though Nathaniel did his best to put a stop to Sebastian’s and Melanie’s scandal, the Lesley family still caught wind of it.

Sebastian couldn’t catch up to Victoria on the day the news broke.

The Lesley family had sent someone to pick her up. Since then, Sebastian lost all contact with her.

Nathaniel’s and Preston’s business talks didn’t go smoothly. Although Nathaniel planned to offer forty percent of the profit to Preston, the latter still didn’t take the offer and even mocked Nathaniel’s terms and conditions.

Nathaniel knew Preston was taking his anger out on him on Victoria’s behalf. He saw through Preston’s intention to make Sebastian break up with Victoria by intentionally ruining the collaboration between the two companies.

Naturally, Nathaniel wouldn’t let himself be put in a disadvantageous position. However, since Preston didn’t want to collaborate with him, he had no intention of forcing the former.

He immediately had his secretary withdraw the collaboration proposal and contract and told Preston forthrightly, “If you think the Lesley Group collaboration with Hadley Corporation is humiliating for the Lesley family, then the partnership between the two companies will end from this day forward, Mr. Lesley. I’ll send someone to follow up on the details regarding compensation. Since I have other tasks to see to, I’ll be taking my leave. Sebastian, please help me see Mr. Lesley off. I think he wants to talk to you privately too.”

Preston rose to his feet with a dark look. Without another word, he turned to leave the room, with Sebastian following closely behind.

“Bring a few assistants with you and follow them. Don’t let them get into an altercation.” Nathaniel glanced at the assistant beside him.

“Yes, sir.” The assistant whirled around and left.

Preston’s stride halted in front of the elevator. Swinging his cold gaze to Sebastian, he said, “I’ll drop the matter about your indecisiveness and be honest with you. Victoria will be leaving the country in a few days. That marks the end of your relationship, so don’t contact her again. She’s worth better.”

Sebastian’s expression turned grave, but his eyes were filled with conviction. “Mr. Lesley, this is between Victoria and me, so I hope other people don’t interfere with our relationship. I’ll tell you directly that I won’t break up with Victoria, and she won’t look for another man.”

Preston laughed from the overwhelming anger coursing through him. He grasped Sebastian’s collar and raised his fist.

Noticing the assistants standing a distance away were keeping their eyes on him and Sebastian, he suppressed his raging impulse, lowered his fist, and shoved Sebastian away since he didn’t want to cause an -uproar on Nathaniel’s turf.
