Chapter 414: The Old Man’s Last Stand
Plenty of people were teasing, and many were supportive, but even so, a number of dissenting voices still emerged.
[Isn’t Chloe Sinclair disgusting? Jasper Shaw is thirty this year, isn’t he? How can she go for someone that old?]
[Right? The age gap is huge. Jasper Shaw had better watch his back, or he’ll get scammed by Chloe Sinclair.]
[You all are saying exactly what I’m thinking. Why would any normal person get with a man that much older than her? If you ask me, Chloe Sinclair is definitely just in it for the money!]
[LMAO, are the people above all divorced or single for a reason? Your comments are so salty even a random bystander like me can’t stand it. Let’s not even talk about Chloe Sinclair’s personal worth. Just look at her family background. A quick online search shows she’s the second-largest shareholder of the Sinclair Group. And that’s not all. The modified nuclear fusion device, the nuclear waste processing unit, and the latest robots she developed—every single one of those things shook the entire scientific community. But she donated all of them for free, without taking a single penny. If she had taken payment, her personal net worth would exceed that of the entire Sinclair Group!]
[Haha, you old hags in the comments above are cracking me up. Please don’t compare yourselves to Chloe Sinclair. I’m not trying to diss you, it’s just that you’re genuinely not in her league.]
[What century are we in? People are still hung up on age? Is a ten-year difference really that big of a deal?]
[Chloe Sinclair might have started dating young, but her family gave their blessing. What are you old biddies even whining about? And another thing, stop comparing yourselves to her. You can’t even compete, it’s just embarrassing!]
But just then, Jasper Shaw suddenly posted again.
Jasper Shaw: I’m twenty-nine this year. (Speechless)
Everyone: "..."
Many people rushed to look him up, only to find that Jasper Shaw wasn’t lying.
He genuinely hadn’t turned thirty yet.
[Mr. Shaw must be really sensitive about his age to be counting the last 3 months.]
[President Shaw, a man is in his prime at thirty. Why worry about being twenty-nine and a half?]
[LMAO at the comment above. This is an old man’s last stand!]
Far from causing any drama, Chloe Sinclair’s public announcement was met with a wave of blessings from her fans after their initial shock.
Jasper Shaw’s follow-up post, in particular, won him a whole new wave of fans.
Chloe Sinclair looked at Jasper Shaw’s follow-up post and giggled from her spot on the sofa.
She glanced at the time. ’Jasper must be back at the villa by now.’
Chloe Sinclair left Jasper Shaw a voice message, telling him she was going to the family estate tomorrow. She wanted to give the Old Master New Year’s greetings and also discuss the matter of quantum communication.
Without waiting for a reply from Jasper, she sent the message and headed to the lab to organize her materials.
Her expertise in biopharmaceuticals was nowhere near her mastery of Physics, so she often hit roadblocks in her experiments.
What she hadn’t expected, however, was that Aaron Archer’s talent far exceeded her imagination.
In just a short amount of time, Aaron Archer had completed every task she had assigned him.
Chloe Sinclair worked straight through until three in the morning. Only after storing the labware did she take off her coat. Too lazy to even shower, she took a few steps and collapsed directly onto the sofa.
’I have to admit,’ she thought, ’working long, high-intensity hours could really kill a person from exhaustion.’
Fortunately, after three hours of sleep, Chloe Sinclair felt much more refreshed.
Even though she was severely sleep-deprived, thanks to the system’s help, Chloe Sinclair’s condition seemed quite good.
She changed clothes, planning to run back to her apartment for some exercise, but she unexpectedly ran into Shawn Styles.
