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 at me like 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 came through.

Fimph, Janessa, do you actually think you can rise above me and Mom? Dream on!

In the afternoon, at Lockhart Group.

After school, Madelyn hurried over, and by the time she 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 thank me just yet. I can only put in a good word
