“Furthermore, with the situation escalating as it has, almost everyone believes that Thornton Corporation is unethical. Even if you pay to settle the matter, it might not erase the negative impression people have of our company. They might even think we are buying our innocence with money, making things worse. This matter can’t be solved with money anymore,” Madelyn rationally analyzed..
Derek considered her words and found some truth in them.
“So, what do you think we should do now?”
Madelyn took a deep breath. “Dad, if you trust me, leave this matter to me.”
“Can you handle it? The matter has escalated,” Derek couldn’t help but doubt.
Madelyn nodded, “I was in charge of this project from the start. Since something went wrong. I should be the one to take responsibility. Dad, trust me.”
Seeing his daughter’s determination, Derek felt a bit relieved.
He decided not to argue further and entrusted the matter entirely to his beloved daughter.
He also lent her his assistant, Cyrus, to help her handle the situation more efficiently.
Madelyn didn’t hesitate. After accepting the assistant, she began addressing the issue immediately.
The most urgent matter was the plummeting stock prices.
“Cyrus, how many people have sold our stocks?” Madelyn calmly asked after returning to the office.
At that very moment, her eyes sparkleel with almost profound wisdom, resembling the capable elites often seen on television.
“Ms. Thornton, approximately three million shareholders have sold their stocks, resulting in an estimated loss of three hundred million,” Cyrus responded.
“Three hundred million?” Madelyn was shocked.
Cyrus nodded and added, “Actually, that’s a conservative estimate. I’ve noticed someone is tryi > buy our stocks at a low price, and they have already purchased some.”
“What’s going on?” Madelyn frowned.
Η
Under normal circumstances, shareholders should be selling off their stocks in such a critical moment.
Why would someone foolishly buy these stocks that have dropped to rock bottom?
Wait, could someone be secretly acquiring the company’s shares?
“Ms. Thornton, what should we do now?” Cyrus asked.
Madelyn shook her head thoughtfully, “Don’t rush. There’s
too much about this situation that doesn’t

Following that, Madelyn put on a stern expression. “No, I can’t let someone frame me like this. I need to come up with a plan.”
With that, Madelyn quickly stood up and hurried out.
Cyrus watched her hasty departure but said nothing
Soon, Madelyn left Thornton Corporation and went straight to find Sebastian at Lockhart Group.
Sebastian was working in his office when Madelyn burst in, looking anxious..
“Sebastian, something’s wrong.
Sebastian had already seen the news reports, so he wasn’t surprised. He asked calmly, “What do you want
me to do?”
Madelyn felt a warmth in her heart. Is this man a mind reader? How did he know I was seeking help before I even spoke?
“Sebastian. I do need your help,” she said directly.
“Go ahead,” Sebastian replied without looking up.
Madelyn swallowed and said, “Lend me three hundred million.”
Sebastian was visibly taken aback.
He looked up, puzzled, “Why do you need that much money?”
Madelyn knew the amount was huge, so she whispered, “I want to buy back our company’s stocks…”
She then explained her plan to Sebastian.
Essentially, she wanted to buy back the stocks before others could snatch them up.
If someone else got them, it would be a substantial amount of shares.
“But don’t worry, I’ll pay you back! I swear!” Madelyn promised earnestly.
Sebastian listened to her explanation and finally understood. He nodded and agreed. “I can le money, but are you sure you can earn it back?”

Sebastian didn’t care about the money, actually. Even if the three hundred million were to go to waste, he wouldn’t blame her.
However, he wanted to test her determination to prevent her from acting recklessly.
Madelyn’s tone was more confident than ever. “Sebastian, trust me. I’ll earn it back, and if I can’t, I’ll work extremely hard to pay you back.”
Upon hearing this, Sebastian couldn’t help but chuckle out loud.
