Reborn to My Engagement Night (Madelyn and Sebastian) novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Falling In Love

Finished

“Do you know them?” Hayden asked, a hint of confusion in his tone as he noticed Janessa’s gaze fixed in that direction

“Of course.” Janessa responded calmly, “Those two individuals are the most trusted aides of Mr. Lockhart, I had gained some understanding about them from Madelyn in the past.”

Hayden nodded. “It seems like they’ve had a falling out.”

“Who knows. Janessa suddenly chuckled slyly. “But, we could perhaps get in touch with them. You never know, we might even be able to win them over, which could prove useful in the future.”

Hayden felt that her words made sense..

Although he hadn’t had much interaction with Sebastian, there was hardly anyone in the city who didn’t know about Lockhart Group. After all, it was a famous financial giant within the country.

The CEO who sat at the helm of this giant corporation was indeed a figure that left people in awe.

At a young age, he took over a vast financial empire. His thinking was bold and innovative, yet his actions. were decisive. He was particularly shrewd in business, outwitting all of his experienced competitors, leaving them feeling inadequate in comparison.

Under his leadership. Lockhart Group had grown significantly more robust and prosperous than before. It could be said that he had spearheaded the advancement of the entire finance industry, inspiring awe in those who knew of him.

For such an extraordinary individual, how could his right–hand men be anything less than exceptional?

Upon that thought, Hayden asked, “So, should you be the one to butter them up, or should I?”

“Let me handle it,” declared Janessa. “Men naturally tend to be less guarded around women. Besides, I have a valid reason to approach him. Compared to you, it’s easier for me to break the ice.”

“All right.” Hayden nodded in agreement.

A sly smile played across Janessa’s face as she descended the stairs.

Among the crowd, Janessa was seen nonchalantly holding a cocktail. She casually strolled around before finally stopping next to Wesley.

“Hello, Mr. Gilbert, what a coincidence!” Janessa exclaimed, appearing to be extremely familiar with him.

Wesley was in a foul mood. He shot her a sidelong glance, his tone anything but friendly. “Who are you?” he asked.

Janessa was taken aback, but quickly recovered with a smile. “Mr. Gilbert, we’ve actually met a few times before. My name is Janessa, daughter of the Sherritt family. And of course, I am also a close friend of Madelyn

“Madelyn?” Upon hearing the name, Wesley let out a cold huff. “That woman again!”

And so, Janessa immediately corrected herself with a smile. “Oh, but that’s all in the past. Now, I’m not longer friends with Madelyn.”

Upon hearing this, Wesley furrowed his brows. “Why is that not the case anymore?”

Sigh. Janessa suddenly let out a sigh. “Because she never really considered me as a friend.”

“Oh!” Wesley became even more curious.

Following this, Janessa complained, “If it weren’t for her meddling. I wouldn’t have ended up disgraced and expelled from school. All these years, I’ve always considered her my closest friend, but she treated me like this. Sigh.

After she finished speaking, Janessa helplessly shook her head, seeming genuinely pitiful.

Wesley immediately scoffed. “I knew it, that woman definitely isn’t any good.”

Upon hearing those words, Janessa swelled with joy.

In reality, she had merely wanted to test the waters earlier, curious about Wesley’s true feelings toward Madelyn.

Looking back now, it was clear that Wesley didn’t fancy Madelyn.

Given that, it made things much easier.

Janessa tried to butter him up, saying, “Mr. Gilbert, it seems like you’re not very fond of Madelyn either, right?”

“So what if I don’t?” Wesley retorted coldly, not even sparing Janessa a glance..

His haughty demeanor clearly showed his disdain for Janessa.

Janessa couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward, yet she managed a forced smile. “Mr. Gilbert, I mean no disrespect. It’s just that I find Madelyn to be quite manipulative. I suggest you be cautious with her in the future. Before, I found her to be a simple and friendly person, which is why we became friends. However, ever since she got engaged to Mr. Lockhart, it’s like she’s become a different person entirely, acting very strange. Subsequently, she started doing things that hurt me.”

As Janessa spoke, she feigned a look of distress. “I’m really at my wit’s end.”

At this point, there was a noticeable change in Wesley’s expression

He too believed that the transformation in Madelyn began after their engagement was announced.

How could someone so perfectly normal change so drastically overnight?

There was definitely something off about her.

Following that, Wesley dropped his pretenses and began conversing with Janessa.

After a while, the two of them had finally finished their conversation.

Wesley gave Janessa a smile. “Your name is Janessa, right? It’s a pleasure to meet you. However, I have to leave now. Hope to see you again when the opportunity arises.”

Janessa couldn’t help but laugh as well. “All right, if I happen to run into you next time, I’ll treat you to at

drink.”“

“All right.” Wesley nodded, then promptly stood up and left.

Only a few seconds had passed before Wesley’s figure completely vanished from the doorway. Hayden then emerged, his curiosity piqued as he asked, “How did your conversation go?”

Janessa gave a light laugh. “All in all, it went pretty smoothly, I’d say.”

The main reason was that they both shared a mutual disdain for Madelyn, providing them with a common topic of conversation.

Moreover. Janessa was a smart woman. She knew how to keep their conversation balanced, so the whole process was never awkward.

However, Janessa still furrowed her brows, expressing some frustration as she said, “Even though we’re quite familiar with each other, Wesley isn’t a fool. If I were to directly try to win him over, he would certainly think I’m trying to use him and would undoubtedly reject me without any hesitation. So, I figured, why spend more time with him, wait until he fully drops his guard, and then win him over.”

Upon hearing this, Hayden gave a slight nod. “You’ve definitely thought it through.”

✓ not

Janessa chuckled. Then as if something suddenly came to mind, she asked, “By the way, isn’t your friend, Kieran, pursuing Madelyn’s stepsister? How is it going, has he won her over yet?”

Hayden’s lips curled into a sneer. “Seriously, what’s so difficult about winning her over? She spent the night with Kieran on just the second day, and now they’re all lovey–dovey, claiming she’ll never leave him.”

“Really?” Janessa said, laughing. “Well, that’s quite impressive then.”

Hayden also laughed, shaking his head helplessly. “That’s all Kieran knows.”

At that moment, Kieran appeared, arm in arm with Eunice. They were talking and laughing together, presenting an image of deep affection and intimacy.
