In a swift motion, he scooped Madelyn up in a bridal carry and tossed her onto the bed in the lounge.
When Malcolm came in to deliver some files, he heard laughter and merriment from the lounge.
He couldn’t help but chuckle softly before quickly leaving to stand guard outside.
Meanwhile, at Ingram Manor, both Rachel and Janessa were grinning from ear to ear in the living room at
that moment.
“Janessa, you did a great job this time. I really must commend you.”
“You flatter me, Aunt Rachel. It was what I should have done,” Janessa said, smiling modestly.
Rachel was very pleased.
“This time, I bet that old coot, Rupert, is going to be out of commission for a while. With this will in your hands. Scarlet won’t be able to do anything to you. Janessa, you’ve finally reclaimed everything that should belong to your mother!”
This isn’t all.” Janessa declared, lifting her chin defiantly. “I’m not just planning to reclaim everything that should belong to my mother but also seek revenge.”
She added, “Aunt Rachel, you might not know this, but back when I was living at the Sherritt residence. Scarlet and her two children always bullied and insulted me. At that time, I was powerless and had no choice but to put up with it. But now, everything has changed. Now that I finally have a foothold in the company, I’m going to revisit all the humiliation I suffered previously on them for sure this time!”
As she spoke, a maniacal gleam glinted in her eyes.
The thought of being able to have them pay for all her past humiliation made her feel incredibly satisfied.
“Okay! It’s time to show them what we’re made of!” Rachel was also very supportive.
Following that, Janessa began making her move.
In the afternoon, Janess wasted no time retaliating against Cheryl and Caleb as soon as she joined Sherritt Group
Rupert’s assistant had then become her assistant, at her beck and call presently.
Perched on her father’s office desk, Janessa sorted and handled documents convincingly. While doing so, she asked, “Is Caleb currently holding any position or managing any projects in the company right now?”
Her assistant nodded. “Ms. Sherritt, Mr. Caleb is in charge of-
“Wait!” S
“Wait!” Suddenly, Janessa raised her index finger.
Then, she drawled, “Don’t you think you should phrase it differently?”

Her assistant continued, “Mr. Caleb holds the position of business manager in the company, responsible for external business development.”
“Business manager? Him?” Upon hearing that, Janessa snorted coldly. “Isn’t he biting off more than he can
chew?
In her impression, Caleb had always been utterly useless.
The business department is a relatively crucial division in the company. Isn’t it a bit dismissive to have him hold the position of manager theret
With that in mind, Janessa ordered right away. “His capabilities don’t qualify him for that position. Find a replacement for him.
“But…” Her assistant was clearly hesitant.
“What’s wrong?” Janessa asked, puzzled.
Her assistant had no choice but to explain, “Mr. Caleb was placed in that position entirely on Mr. Sherritt orders. Mr. Sherritt wanted him to learn more in that role, so he-”
“Shut up!” Janessa abruptly snapped. “Keep in mind that I’m your boss now!”
“Understood…” Her assistant was so frightened that he dared not say anything further.
Upon seeing that he no longer refuted her, Janessa took a moment to compose her breathing, then said, “Since Father wished for him to learn, so be it. However, we cannot allow someone incompetent to assume the role of manager of the business department. Otherwise, the company’s staff would have objections.”
“So, what are you suggesting?” her assistant asked.
“I’ll evaluate a capable new manager for promotion. Then, let Caleb assist the new business manager. With that, wouldn’t he still be able to learn?”
“Uh, understood…
Her assistant didn’t dare say much yet was utterly baffled inwardly.
After all, although Rupert was very dissatisfied with his son’s incompetence, he still attached great importance to that sole heir of his in the past.
At present, however, Janessa planned to strip Caleb of his position and reduce him to a mere assistant. That would be essentially sidelining him.
“Also, Cheryl currently holds the position of deputy CEO in the company, yes? I think she’s too young and entirely unsuited for this role. Just dismiss her,” Janessa instructed unceremoniously.
“Huh?” Her assistant was truly taken aback this time. “Ms. Sherritt, but isn’t this… I mean, is this truly appropriate?”
“Why would it be inappropriate? Cheryl is just a university student in the first place. I’m only looking out for her best interests. If she’s distracted, how is she to excel in her studies? And if she doesn’t do well in school, how is she going to take over the company in the future?” Janessa retorted.

Following that, he dealt with the positions of the two siblings according to Janessa’s instructions.
Janessa was gratified to the core, so happy that she laughed heartily in the office.
“This is great! True enough, karma is a b*tch! The two of them bullied me for so many years, it’s finally my turn to give them a taste of their own medicine!”
After waiting long and hard. I finally have my wish come true!
Meanwhile, Cheryl was in class when she suddenly received a notification of her dismissal. She immediately shot to her feet.
“Professor, I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first!”
After she had said that, she made a beeline for the exit, all the while contacting her brother and mother.
By the time she arrived home, the entire family had learned of what Janessa had done. They all couldn’t help but break down in tears.
“How dare that despicable woman treat you both in such a manner! She’s utterly heartless!” Scarlet was so infuriated that she almost burst a blood vessel.
“Exactly! I was stripped of my position as deputy CEO for no reason! Even Caleb has been reduced to being someone else’s assistant? It’s clear as day that Janessa wants to pull us all down.” Cheryl likewise seethed with
anger.
Unfortunately, aside from stewing in rage, none of them couldn’t think of any way to deal with Janessa.
However, things didn’t seem to go as smoothly as Janessa had anticipated.
No matter what, the Sherritt family’s business could be considered a major company. With such a huge incident having happened, its impact on the entire industry was undeniably significant.
News of the change of leadership in Sherritt Group was propelled to the headlines in an instant.
Driven by curiosity, the media turned the spotlight on the Sherritt family, only leading to Janessa taking over the company with increased confidence.
And so, Sherritt Group was taken over by a young girl of only twenty–two years old, Janessa Sherritt. overnight.
