That night, Madelyn went home to Lockhart Villa after she had finished everything.
When she arrived home, she happened to see Sebastian watching the news,

“What are you watching?” Smiling, she leaned in close to him intimately.
Sebastian took advantage of the proximity and pulled her into his arms, his voice cool and detached. “News about the Sherritt family.”
“Ohi” Madelyn’s curiosity was piqued, so she also started watching the news with him.
Soon, an interview began broadcasting on television.
The interviewee was none other than Janessa, who had already become heiress to Sherritt Group.
“Ms. Sherritt, how does it feel to have gloriously inherited your father’s assets at such a young age?” the reporter asked, holding the microphone high.
At that question, Janessa smiled calmly in front of the camera.
“Naturally, I’m happy. After all, being able to shoulder some of the stress in regards to work on my father’s behalf while he’s unwell is my duty as his child.”
Upon hearing that, the reporter nodded in gratification. “You’re truly a good daughter, Ms. Sherritt.”
Then, he asked. “However, the outside world seems somewhat skeptical about your rise to power at such a young age. They don’t quite believe you, feeling that you might not be capable enough. What’s your take on this?”
Janessa’s smile grew even wider. “I find such a view to be quite old–fashioned.”
As soon as those words rang out, a wave of shock swept through the crowd.
Regardless of whether it was the media or the audience, both thought that Janessa was too bold in her speech.
Madelyn also let out a scornful laugh, then listened as Janessa continued to speak.
“The times have long since changed, with countless up–and–comers emerging. Although I’m still quite young, my capabilities are not necessarily subpar. This is something everyone in the company can attest to. If you all don’t believe me, let me give you an analogy. I think you should all be familiar with the CEO of the Lockhart Group, right?”
Upon hearing that, everyone nodded noncommittally.
After all, Lockhart Group’s reputation was simply too prominent. No one in the entire city was a stranger to
At that moment, Janessa chuckled and continued, “In reality, Mr. Lockhart was also only in his early twenties when he started taking over Lockhart Group and elevated it to its current status.

In the eyes of the public, the CEO of Lockhart Group was nothing short of a legend. Countless people aspired to connect with him but could only look up to him from afar.
Considering that Janessa even had interactions with him, they reckoned that her capabilities were quite extraordinary.
And so, Janessa happily took over Sherritt Group while leaving the outside world with no room f for
criticism.
“How could she be so shameless?”
After watching the news, Madelyn was inexplicably angry, her brows knitted together in frustration. “Sebastian, since when did you become friends with her? She’s got some nerve to make such a claim.”
She was extremely displeased over the fact that Janessa used Sebastian for comparison.
Indeed, Sebastian created a business empire of his own. But how could Janessa compare to him? How highly she thinks herself!
Contrarily. Sebastian didn’t have much of a reaction then. He merely asked Madelyn, “Haven’t you always been at odds with Janessa? Now that she’s made her move, aren’t you going to stop her?
Based on his understanding of the latter, she was surely to think of a way to stop Janessa, given her obstinate and unyielding personality.
Sure enough, Madelyn replied forcefully. “Needless to say. I’m not going to let her make a comeback just like this! Just wait and see. I have a plan to handle this.”
I’m not going to just stand by and watch as she makes a comeback again, never! If she were to get a head start like this, who knows how much trouble I would encounter in the business world in the future?
Furthermore, once Janessa reached a certain level of popularity, taking her down wouldn’t be so easy
anymore.
Therefore, Madelyn decided to completely nip her in the bud before she had a chance to ignite bloom.
Hearing that, Sebastian had no objections. Yet, he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried. “I don’t mind however you want to deal with her. But you have to promise to be careful. Don’t let anything happen to you and make me worry. Do you hear me?”
At his words, a sense of warmth suffused Madelyn. She leaned into his embrace and murmured, “Got it.”
Cradling her soft body, Sebastian finally felt at peace.
The following day was a weekend.
Madelyn didn’t have to go to the office to work, but she decided to devote more time to studying, hence still got up early in the morning.
Upon arriving at the office, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Jillian was there as well.

who recommended me. I don’t want to disappoint Mr. Thornton or have others say that I got in through the back door without any real capabilities. So, I want to learn more.”
In truth, ever since Jillian joined the company, there had always been whispers that she got in because of her connection with Madelyn.
Worse still, some people talked ill about her behind her back, their claims extremely unpleasant.
Of course, Jillian didn’t deny the fact that she got in through the back door. Nonetheless, she also wished to prove herself to gain others‘ acknowledgment.
Hearing that, Madelyn was greatly gratified. She couldn’t resist pinching Jillian’s delicate cheek. “My, my, as expected of my Jilly. You work so hard.”
Jillian laughed alongside her. Then, the two of them started working together.
Perhaps it was due to their frequent review sessions together in the past, but the two of them had an uncanny synergy.
Every time Madelyn gave an order or pointed out an area of the proposal that needed amendment, Jillian immediately understood and promptly set to work on it.
Throughout the seemingly endless morning, an inexplicable sense of enjoyment unexpectedly surfaced as the two of them worked hand in hand.
At noon, they clocked out together.
“Madelyn, what are you having for lunch? Let’s eat together,” Jillian asked after straightening her desk.
Madelyn shook her head. “I still have some things to take care of, so I’ll pass.”
“Huh?” Jillian couldn’t help but feel a bit disheartened. “I’m going to have to eat alone? How boring.”
Suddenly, she proposed, “How about I accompany you to take care of your matter, and then we grab lunch together?”
Upon hearing the suggestion, Madelyn pondered for a moment. It seemed reasonable to her, so she nodded in agreement.
Following that, the two of them hailed a taxi together by the roadside.
