Chapter 399 I Have Got Everything Covered
“You’ve seen the names on the list, haven’t you?
Suddenly, a crisp yet distinct female voice echoed through
Along with the voice came Madelyn, dressed in a casual yet refined blazer that radiated the aura of a successful and sophisticated woman
The moment she made her entrance, everyone instantly fell silent.

Cyrus followed behind her, filled with a certain degree of reverence. Ms. Thornton, despite her youth, already possesses such a powerful aura. Truly, the younger generation is going to turpan the older one.
Moreover, Madelyn was blessed with an exceptionally beautiful face. Now, as she made her appearance, she radiated an aura that naturally drew everyone’s attention toward her, making it impossible for them to look
away.
“You all are already aware of the company’s plan to downsize, so I won’t dwell on that. Instead, let me explain the reasons behind this decision.”
Following that, Madelyn was seen looking at her employees with considerable poise. “In truth, the company’s development over the past two years has been rather stagnant. I’ve been contemplating the reasons behind this, but I’ve yet to figure it out.”
She added, “Recently, I’ve come to realize that our company has been harboring many colleagues who are not fully committed to their roles and others who have nothing to do all day. That’s why I’ve decided to initiate a significant downsizing, allowing the company to fully utilize its personnel without bearing unnecessary expenses. Of course, I’m aware that many of you have been with the company for over five years, making you long–time employees. So, rest assured, if any long–time employee were to be let go, the company would provide a severance package amounting to three times th
After a brief pause, she continued, “Moreover, due to the layoffs, some colleagues might have had to take on extra responsibilities for a while. As a result, the company would also provide these colleagues with additional allowances. Perhaps this round of layoffs might have a significant impact on the company, but it is a necessary step for progress. Our company must also use this opportunity to ascend to the next level. We hope everyone can understand. All in all, that sums up my explanation for the layoffs. Thank you”
After she finished speaking, the room erupted in applause.
Madelyn gave everyone a slight nod in gratitude, and under the watchful eyes of all present, she made her exit.
After she left, the employees reacted in various ways–some were happy, while others were sad
Some were discontented, while others felt that this was absolutely the right thing to do.
For a moment, everyone had mixed opinions about Madelyn’s actions.
Of course, news of the incident quickly reached the board of directors and Derek’s ears
Madelyn initially thought that her unilateral actions would earn her a scolding from his father. Surprisingly. not only did Derek refrain from reprimanding her, he showered her with praise instead

you’ve done what I’ve always been afraid to do, I am truly relieved.”
Derek was overjoyed, his satisfaction with his precious daughter growing by the minute.
It seems that the day when he can hand over the company to Madelyn is not far off

So, after a few days of rest at home, Derek hurried back to the company. He took it upon himself to guide Madelyn, teaching her step by step how to manage it.
Managing a company was never an easy task; there were countless responsibilities from top to bottom.
This was despite many outsiders thinking that being a company leader was all glitz and glamour, where one could simply sit back and watch the money roll in daily.
Only those in the position realized that running a business was truly a challenging task.
From clients to suppliers, none were easy to deal with.
Occasionally, when there was a need to entertain clients over dinner, one would have to down huge amounts of alcohol, as the clients would not let one off the hook
Despite all the challenges, Madelyn was still determined to learn.
After all, her father was growing older and the weighty responsibilities of the company would inevitably fall onto her shoulders one day. Therefore, she could not afford to slack off.
So, every day after school, Madelyn didn’t go anywhere else. Instead, she went straight to the company to learn from her father and then got busy running the company.
In just a few short days, everyone in the company was secretly impressed. They could all see Madelyn truly giving it her all.
In a subtle way, Madelyn had won over their hearts.
It was just that being swamped with work every day and stretched to her limit, she was practically ready to collapse from exhaustion by the time she returned home in the evening
One day, the first thing Madelyn did upon returning home was sink into the couch and let our a deep sigh.
I’m exhausted….
At that moment, Sebastian happened to descend from the stairs. Seeing her petite figure burdened with exhaustion, his heart ached with concern..
“You’re home.”
Walking down the stairs at a leisurely pace, Sebastian’s voice was deep and filled with a magnetic allure.
Upon hearing the remark, Madelyn was startled and sat up. “Sebastian? Why are you back so early?”
Under normal circumstances, Sebastian would undoubtedly be busy at the company until around ten in the evening,

Sebastian spoke as he walked over, examining Madelyn closely.

In the past, Madelyn, although pretty, still had a youthful plumpness on her face, a characteristic of adolescence.
In just a few days, the baby fat had surprisingly vanished completely, transforming her face into one that was even more exquisite and stunning.
It was a sight that pained Sebastian’s heart to see.
Madelyn, however, nonchalantly shook her head. “It’s okay. I can handle it. My father is getting on in years, and now, I’m the only one he can rely on. If I don’t hold the company up, then there’s no one else who can
If no one was in charge of the company, it was highly likely that the board of directors would seize control.
Madelyn simply couldn’t stand by and watch her father’s lifelong efforts fall into the hands of unrelated Individuals.
Of course, there was something else Madelyn hadn’t voiced out.
For a long time, members of the Lockhart family had always disapproved of her. They merely saw her as a good–for–nothing heiress who had nothing to offer.
Madelyn no longer wanted to be looked down upon, and thus, she sought to enhance her own abilities.
Only by doing so could she become a woman who was universally acknowledged to be worthy of Sebastian.
Madelyn is really stubborn…
Seeing her push herself so hard, Sebastian felt a pang of distress. Howey objections because no matter how much more was said, it was pointless.
e found it difficult to voice any
All this while, whenever Madelyn made up her mind about something, she wouldn’t back down until she failed.
Sebastian could only let out a sigh, then gently tousled her hair, advising. “If you ever feel like you can’t manage, remember to tell me. I’m here for you, always.”
hearing these words, Madelyn suddenly burst into a grin and stood up, wrapping her arms around
Upon him in a tight embrace.
