Chapter 276 Have A Problem

The following day, at school.

“Jillian, is this how you solve this problem?” For the first time, Josiah was holding his notebook, asking Jillian

about their coursework.

Both Madelyn and Jillian widened their eyes in disbelie, staring at Josiah.

Could this guy have lost his mind?

“Why are you all staring atlike that? And you, Jillian, I'm talking to you. Is this answer correct or not?” Josiah

said impatiently.

Left with no choice, Jillian took his notebook and forced herself to read through his handwriting, which was as

illegible as cryptic symbols. Finally, she nodded, saying, “It is.”

Josiah left contentedly with his notebook in hand. Truth be told, his actions were more of a spontaneous whim.

For reasons he couldn’t quite pinpoint, whenever he saw Madelyn studying earnestly, he found himself wanting

to improve alongside her. It was indeed quite peculiar.

Madelyn stood frozen in disbelief, shaking her head. She questioned if she was dreaming. Just then, phone call

cthrough.

Once the call connected, a sweet feminine voice cthrough. “Ms. Thornton, this is Cheryl Sherritt. The

proposal we discussed last tis ready at our company. We hope you can find stto endorse us in

front of Mr. Lockhart.”

After sthought, Madelyn hesitated for a moment before saying, “Why wait? Let's do it this afternoon.”

“All right! We will wait for you at the bottom of Lockhart Group's building After saying this. Cheryl ended the call,

revealing a smile that was both sweet and venomous.

Fimph, Janessa, do you actually think you can rise aboveand Mom? Dream on!

In the afternoon, at Lockhart Group.

After school, Madelyn hurried over, and by the tshe arrived at the base of the company building. Cheryl and

her father had just stepped out of a black car to meet up with her.

“Ms. Thornton, we're counting on you for this project proposal! If it's successful, our Sherritt family will be forever

grateful.” Rupert Sherritt pleaded as soon as he saw Madelyn, his face filled with a desperate plea for help.

Madelyn, however, didn’t seem too bothered. “No need to thankjust yet. | can only put in a good word

you Whether or not your proposal gets approved is entirely up to you. After all, Lockhart Group has quite high

standards when it comes to project proposal”

“Absolutely, Ms. Thornton! You're right. We are already very thankful for your offer to introduce us.”

Naturally, Rupert wouldn't be so insatiable. After all, Sebastian was such an imposing figure that people feared

even to look at him. They rarely had the chance to see him in their daily lives, let alone the audacity

Madelyn had managed to do this much, for which they were already deeply grateful.

Following that, Madelyn then led them upstairs.

Before long, the group arrived at Sebastian's office. Madelyn politely knocked on the door, to which Sebastian's

indifferent voice responded from within. “Cin.”

The three of them then entered together.

“Sebastian. Mr. Sherritt and Ms. Sherritt have cover with their proposal. We talked about this before,”

Madelyn stated plainly as soon as she walked in the door.

At that moment. Sebastian was impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, sitting in front of a computer. He emanated

an air of sophistication and grandeur, his handsfeatures slightly aloof. His entire demeanor exuded an

innate sense of dominance and strength.

Upon seeing him, the father and daughter of the Sherrit family were immediately somewhat shaky.

Sebastian cast an indifferent glance at the father-daughter duo, his voice cold as he commanded, “Hand it over.”

Upon hearing this, Rupert shuddered on the spot. Immediately, he hurried forward, and with trembling hands,

handed over the proposal that the company had meticulously prepared for this project. “Mr. Lockhart, please

take a look.”

With a stoic expression, Sebastian accepted the propo, then began to flip through it

As they listened to the sound of him flipping through the papers, a wave of tension unknowingly swept over

Rupert and Cheryl

Although the proposal was crafted by the best planners in their company, and they all believed it to be foolproof,

once it reached Sebastian, they were all unexpectedly filled with uncertainty.

After all, being the business mogul of the world of finance, Lockhart Group was notoriously meticulous. and

cautious when it cto business proposals. Even the slightest dissatisfaction could lead to a proposal’s

elimination. It was uncertain whether their standard would be able to catch Sebastian's eye.

Just as expected, after Sebastian finished reading the project proposal, he was indeed very dissatisfied.

He tossed the proposal back immediately. “The flaws in this proposal are glaringly obvious. While the place of

origin indeed holds potential for development, the amount of investment and the return are hardly proportional.

Can't you see that, Mr. Sherritt?”

Upon hearing this, Rupert was immediately thrown into a panic. He quickly picked up the proposal and, upon

review, he indeed found the unreasonable aspect!

Almost instantly, Rupert bent over, apologizing repeatedly, “I'm so sorry, Mr. Lockhart, this was entirely my

oversight! 1 truly apologize from the bottom of my heart!”

Avhe spoke, Rupert wished he could slap himself hard How could he have been so blind to not see the issue at

hand?

The light in Cheryl's eyes dimmed as well. It’s over. The opportunity | fought so hard for has just been wasted...

Madelyn could only helplessly shrug her shoulders. Since it was an issue with the project proposal, they

“However, this project is not without its merits. Sebastian suddenly added.

The three of them immediately widened their eyes.

Sebastian's expression remained unchanged as he continued. “This proposal needs to be revised. Once you've

made the necessary changes, review it thoroughly before presenting it toagain.”

Upon hearing this, Rupert and Cheryl were simply overjoyed!

The underlying message of these words was that Sebastian was willing to give the Sherritt family a second

chance.

Oh my goodness!

Cheryl was brimming with excitement as she swiftly stepped forward to collect the proposal. She then gave a

respectful bow and said, “Mr. Lockhart, please rest assured. We will certainly revise the proposal thoroughly once

we return. When we cback next time, we will not let you down!”

“Hopefully, Sebastian responded coldly.

Madelyn actually felt a bit relieved. It seemed that Sebastian wasn’t as unapproachable as he appeared to

be

Following that, Malcolm escorted the father and daughter duo out.

Meanwhile, Madelyn was consumed by curiosity and approached Sebastian, asking, “Sebastian, why did you give

them a second chance? | mean, | don’t think collaborating with the Sherritt family is entirely detrimental.

However, if their business standards don’tmeet the requirements, you have every right to reject them.”

“The proposal from the Sherritt Group indeed had many shortcomings,” Sebastian analyzed rationally, “but it

wasn't as bad as you think. If properly revised, it should still be serviceable.”

“Good, that’s a relief. Madelyn finally relaxed.

That night, in the Sherritt residence.

Recently, Janessa had been pondering over how to approach Sebastian once more to present her project to him,

but she hadn't found the right opportunity yet..

Thus, at that moment, she was lying in bed, deep in thought.

Just then, a tall, dark figure suddenly slipped in through the window. Upon entering, the person immediately

lowered his head and said in a grave tone Ms. Sherritt, we have a problem.”
