“Aunt Rachel, are you saying that…”
In an instant, Janessa understood.

Rachel gave a warm smile. “It’s exactly as you think. Given that the stock prices have plummeted this low, why don’t you seize this opportunity to acquire more shares? Even though most of these stocks are shares that were sold off by individual investors, when all of them are combined together, they can potentially form a significant force.”
At last, Janessa understood what Rachel meant. Her face instantly lit up
However, there was still one thing that left her somewhat puzzled.
ip with joy.
“But, Aunt Rachel, the chatter about me on the internet hasn’t died down yet. Even if I did buy back the stocks, wouldn’t it be pointless if the company’s situation doesn’t improve?”
After all, it was her own negative press that was the main cause of this crisis.
If she simply focused on buying back the shares, it was nothing more than a band–aid solution, falling to address the root of the problem.
The thought of the online comments about her still filled Janessa with worry.
However, Rachel laughed it off nonchalantly, “The internet is the easiest place to sling mud, but it’s also the easiest place to wash it off. “Don’t worry. As for the malicious rumors that have been spread about you, I’ll find a way to clear your name. I’ll ensure you reappear before everyone in a new light, as a positive and uplifting figure.”
When Rachel spoke these words, her smile was incredibly warm, making her appear extremely approachable.
In reality, having lived for so many years, Rachel had long understood a principle.
What the world truly desired to see was nothing more than characters radiating positivity.
Even if a public figure were to commit heinous acts behind closed doors, what could be done about it when they were cloaked in the guise of a good reputation?
Janessa understood Rachel’s meaning, so she simply nodded, immediately rising to return to the company to purchase the stocks.
However, there was no way things would go so smoothly for her.
Madelyn had predicted early on that Janessa would certainly buy a large amount of shares. Therefore, she directly instructed Cyrus to purchase more than half of the stocks.
By the time Janessa decided to buy the stocks, the results were far less than what she had initially anticipated.
Originally, Janessa thought she could at least acquire an additional ten percent of the company’s shares.
with a mere three percent.

Upon realizing that the stocks she held were merely a fraction of what she expected, Janessa instantly exploded with rage right in the middle of her office.
“Look into this! I need you to find out who exactly secretly bought up our company’s stocks! Go and investigate immediately!”
“Understood.” Her assistant was terrified, immediately beginning the investigation.
Half an hour later, the search yielded no results,
Madelyn had executed her actions flawlessly, leaving no trace behind. Despite the assistant’s best efforts, they couldn’t find anything.
In the end, the assistant had no choice but to timidly report, “Ms. Sherritt, I’ve just checked. The individual who purchased our company’s shares did it anonymously. There’s simply no way to trace them.”
“Useless!”
Janessa was instantly livid, as if a raging inferno had ignited from her heart, burning its way up to her
throat
“Ms. Sherritt, please calm down…” The assistant, feeling utterly helpless, could only attempt to pacify her.
In the end. Janessa glared at him directly. “You’re good for nothing. What use are you to me? Why don’t you just get lost?”
“Y–Yes, I’m leaving. I’m leaving right now. The assistant hastily retreated in a panic.
Once he stepped outside, the assistant couldn’t help but mutter curses under his breath toward the office door.
Janessa, if it wasn’t for the sake of Mr. Sherritt, do you think I would have agreed to be your assistant?
The company really hit a streak of bad luck for having someone like you in charge!
Achoo!
In the office, Janessa suddenly sneezed.
After dabbing her nose with a tissue, Janessa fell into deep thought.
For reasons unknown, she kept getting this feeling like someone was targeting her.
Otherwise, why would the media expose her negative news?
Otherwise, why would anyone secretly buy the company’s stocks?
After much thought, Janessa concluded that only two people could have possibly done this.
Cheryl and Caleb.

However, in that fleeting moment, it was as if a light bulb went off in Janessa’s mind. She suddenly thought of someone else.
Madelyn!
It’s her! She must be the one secretly assisting Cheryl. She has to be!
Damn it!
Every time Janessa thought of Madelyn, she couldn’t help but curse under her breath.
That despicable woman! If hy is she always showing up to stir things up wherever I go?
It was like this last time, and the time before that as well. So, is Madelyn really insistent on going up against me?
Hmph!
With a cold huff, Janessa told herself that once she had taken care of her current affairs, she would show Madelyn a thing or two!
However, the pressing matte
at hand was still to properly handle the company’s current predicament.
Thus, Janessa had no choice but to think of another solution.
At night, in Lockhart Villa.
After a taxing day, Madelyn returned home and immediately flopped onto her bed.
Recently, she had been busy handling the company’s affairs and dealing with Janessa, so she was indeed quite exhausted.
By the time Sebastian arrived home, Madelyn had already fallen into a deep sleep.
The woman lay sprawled out in a careless manner, arms and legs stretched out in all directions, showing no concern for decorum.
Beyond that, a faint snoring sound could even be heard coming from her.
Seeing how exhausted she was, Sebastian couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.
In reality, during this period, he had been keeping an eye on Madelyn’s actions.
Though Sebastian didn’t voice it out, he had always been keenly aware of her every move.
Hence, at that moment, Sebastian couldn’t help but gently touch her delicate face, his gaze turning tender and affectionate.

Madelyn typically didn’t wear heavy makeup to work each day. She’d only lightly apply a layer of BB cream on her face, subtly define her eyebrows, add a touch of earth–toned eyeshadow, and finish with a hint of soft lipstick
Despite all this, her naturally beautiful face was still breathtakingly stunning.
It was to the point that after Sebastian had helped her remove her makeup, Madelyn’s fair skin appeared even more radiant and soft.
After staring at her for a few seconds, Sebastian found himself unable to resist and gently placed a kiss on her lips.
At that moment, it seemed as if Madelyn sensed something, her eyebrows furrowing slightly in a way that was utterly adorable.
Sebastian couldn’t help but smile as he watched her.
Normally, he seldom joked or laughed.
Only she had the power to make him completely let go of his aloofness. His smile was as bright and gentle as the spring breeze, captivating in its purity.
