Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549 Lure

So far, no one stayed alive and well after threatening Nathaniel.

A glacial glare settled in Nathaniel’s eyes as he typed: Deal with him however you want. Old Mrs. Taggart’s life is worth more than an assistant’s.

Manuel was annoyed and frustrated by Nathaniel’s reply.

I don’t believe this! I’ll find a way to threaten Nathaniel!

Manuel placed the phone screen before Sebastian’s eyes and spat, “Open your f*cking eyes and read this carefully. You worked so hard for Nathaniel, yet he doesn’t care about your well-being when you’re in trouble. See? This is what you get for being a loyal dog to this man.”

Sebastian’s limbs were tied to the chair, his face swollen, and his eyes bloodshot. He was in so much pain that he could only manage to open them a little to read the text.

When the blurry words came into his view, he smiled and spat a mouthful of blood at Manuel before laughing maniacally.

Annoyed, Manuel wiped the blood off his face and slammed his fist at Sebastian’s head.

The impact sent Sebastian toppling to the ground. Like a lifeless fish, he lay weakly on the stinking ground, and his eyes stared blankly at the hanging beams on the roof.

“D*mn it! How dare you provoke me? You’re asking for it!” Manuel rushed forward to give Sebastian a few more kicks, determined to give the latter an agonizing punishment. However, one of the lackeys held Manuel back.

“Mr. Manuel, you mustn’t beat him to death. It’ll be useful to keep him alive. Maybe it’s Nathaniel’s way

of stalling for time. Sebastian’s basically the second-in-command for Hadley Corporation. We’ll just have to test it out to see if Sebastian’s valuable to Nathaniel,” said the lackey.

Manuel frowned hard and shoved the man away. “Carry on.”

Wiping his face with relief, the lackey grinned. “Sebastian’s been working for Nathaniel for many years, which proves how much the latter trusts him. I’m sure Sebastian knows many the Hadley family’s secrets. No matter how stubborn he is, he’ll definitely spill everything under torture. I refuse to believe he’s willing to sacrifice his life for such a thing.”

Manuel was just an arrogant rich playboy who never had opinions of his own, but he was also the only descendant favored by Maggie. More importantly, he had a gang of friends who.

In fact, Manuel was instigated to kidnap Sebastian and threaten Nathaniel. He did it only because he had not gotten the shares and properties Maggie had promised. Concern and filialness were not what motivated him to do so.

If anything bad happened to Maggie, all the assets that were originally Manuel’s would end up getting divided among the rest of the Taggart family.

Although Manuel and Madison were cousins, they were not close. In fact, he could not be bothered if Sebastian had something to do with Madison’s death. Even so, her death had given the former the opportunity to take action.

Patting the lackey’s face in admiration, Manuel teased with a chuckle, “Impressive. Having fun is what you’re usually great at. I never knew you’d have such ideas at such a critical time. Go on. Check if that dude’s dead. Make him sit back up if he isn’t. You’ll be rewarded handsomely when this is over.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Manuel,” said the lackey.

Meanwhile, Manuel walked out of the deserted house, fishing out his phone to give Nathaniel a call. Manuel was prepared to bombard the latter with calls, but surprisingly, it connected. on his first attempt.

“Nathaniel, I know Sebastian has been working as your lapdog for many years. Surely he has quite some dirt on you. If you don’t want all that information to be leaked, you’d better do as I say,” Manuel threatened.
