“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.

“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.”

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
