The man was strikingly handsand had a robust physique. His skills indicated professional

training. which was quite impressive. He was specifically chosen by Janessa’s aunt to serve Janessa

as her subordinate. His nwas Javier Goldblum.

Every tsomething happened, he would scale the wall to cin and report the situation.

Upon seeing him at that moment, Janessa couldn’t help but furrow her delicate brows. “What’s

happened?”

“Cheryl has already picked up Sheritt Group’s new project proposal this afternoon and gone to meet

Sebastian,” Javier said impassively. “It seems like she intends to thwart your plans.”

“What on earth is going on? How could Cheryl possibly have connections with someone like

Sebastian?” Janessa was immediately taken aback.

“Based on our investigation, the person who seemed to have recommended Cheryl appears to be

Sebastian’s fiancee, Madelyn. Moreover, there seems to be sinteraction between the two of

them recently. | suspect this matter was prearranged by them” Javier explained in detail.

“This is outrageous!” Janessa’s face flushed with anger as she seethed with indignation.

“That conniving Madelyn knows full well that Cheryl and | are at odds. Moreover, she chose such a

crucial moment to side with that wretched Cheryl and ruin my plans! What on earth is she playing

at?”

As she spoke, Janessa fiercely gripped the bedsheet, wishing it was Madelyn so she could tear it

apart with all her might.

Javier remained rather composed, continuing to analyze the situation rationally. “Ms. Sherritt, don’t

you think Madelyn has beca different person? Back then, she was incredibly naive. Even though

you played her like a fiddle, she still defended you. But now it seems she’s starting to resist, even

gradually standing against you. Who knows, she might even becyour enemy in the future.”

Upon hearing those words, Janessa felt something weigh down on her heart.

Javier is right. Madelyn has indeed changed a lot. Apart from the occasional traces of her carefree

personality from the past, her way of dealing with people and situations is fundamentally different

from before. It’s as if she has beca completely different person.

There was no way Janessa would have believed that there was nothing suspicious going on in this situation.

“Ms. Sherritt, what are your plans?” Javier asked, standing off to the side. Despite his efforts to restrain himself,

his eyes kept straying toward Janessa. She was clad in her nightwear, her fair collarbone exposed. As he

watched, he found himself involuntarily swallowing.

Janessa was completely oblivious to his actions. She retorted irritably, “Plans? Ha, what could | possibly do?

Initially, I planned on partnering with Lockhart Group for a business deal, hoping to solidify my position within

Sherritt Group. But now, I'll have to consider other options. Ah, this is so frustrating!”

The more Janessa spoke, the more irritated she became. Unable to resist, she reached up and ran her fingers

through her hair, leaving it in a disheveled state, However, this only served to increase her frustration.

Javier watched her from the side, seemingly admiring her subtle movements. For sreason, he found

“Ms. Sherritt, actually, if you want to take over Sheritt Group, you don’t necessarily have to rely on Sebastian's

help. You can simply buy out the shareholders, Javier suggested.

Janessa heaved a deep sigh. “Do you really think those old fogeys are easy to win over? It's not like | haven't

tried. But they're all seasoned hands and have a long-standing relationship with my father. They're not easy to

sway at all. I've been trying my hardest to persuade them, but I've only managed to convince two or three at

most”

In the end, Javier burst out laughing. “Miss, you've overestimated how difficult it is to handle that bunch of old

slickers! In this world, there's no one who can’t be bought with money. As long as the benefits we offer are

enticing enough, there's no reason for them not to be tempted. Moreover, in recent years, the development of

the Sheritt Group hasn't been ideal. The shares they hold haven't brought in much profit. Therefore. | believe

that if you seize this opportunity to buy back their shares at a high price and consolidate them into your own

stake, you'll have enough power to challenge your father. By then, Sheritt Group becoming yours would be just a

matter of time.

When she heard the proposal, the previously dim eyes of Janessa seemed to gradually ignite with hope.

Javier has a point! If it was merely a matter of acquiring a small number of shares, then indeed, it wouldn't be of

much use. However, if one were to buy back the shares from the minority shareholders at a high price and then

consolidate them, the resulting stake would be huge!

With this in mind, Janessa promptly nodded. “Alright, | leave this matter in your hands!”

“Understood,” Javier acknowledged, ready to leave.

“Wait!” Janessa suddenly called out to him, her eyes filled with malice. “This mess is Madelyn’s doing. isn't it

Hmph, | won't let her off that easily. When you have time, arrange for smen to teach her a lesson!!

“Understood.” Javier acknowledged her orders once again.

The following day, at the combat training center, it had been quite stsince Madelyn last visited,

especially after her recent trip to Yowhayton. Between learning management at both Lockhart Group and her

own company, she could feel that her muscles had significantly weakened. The physical fitness she had achieved

during her previous training felt miles away. So, once school was over that day, she headed straight to the

combat training center to train and reinforce the skills she had previously learned.

Nevertheless, it was hard to deny that consistency was key when it cto training. Madelyn had noticed a

significant decline in her flexibility after a period without practice. Many of her movements had become

noticeably rusty as well.

Fortunately. Maxton had noticed Madelyn’s issues due to her absence. So, he specifically devised a series of

training plans for her. This way, Madelyn could also practice at home.

Madelyn was extremely grateful and expressed her appreciation with a cheerful smile. “Coach Wendel, it's been

such a long tsince we've seen each other. How about | treat you to dinner tonight? It would be a good

opportunity to repay you for your mentorship, don’t you think?”

Upon hearing these words, Maxton seemed to hesitate for a moment, but in the end, he nodded in

agreement.

For reasons unknown, Maxton, who usually disliked attending any social dinners, found it

impossible to refuse her whenever she flashed him a smile.

At that moment, a woman hidden in the shadows watched the scene unfold, her eyes nearly

Lindsay had initially planned to ask Maxton out, but to her surprise, Madelyn had beaten her to it.

She was instantly filled with frustration, feeling as if she was about to burst a vessel.

The most crucial part was that Madelyn had actually managed to secure the date.

As for her, every tshe asked Maxton out, the latter would politely decline. To put it bluntly, he

simply did not want to be with her.

But now, Maxton was actually willing to accept Madelyn’s invitation, much to Lindsay’s chagrin.
