From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius

Chloe Sinclair wasn’t even twenty yet, and she still had so much of college life left to experience.

She had an even more exciting life ahead of her.

He didn’t want Chloe Sinclair to be mired in controversy because of him.

"Jasper Shaw, if I really cared about all that, I wouldn’t be with you."

Chloe Sinclair was a little angry, but thinking back on Jasper Shaw’s tone, she couldn’t really stay upset.

"You, old? You’re only thirty this year!"

’Isn’t this the age when men are most charming?’

Before Chloe Sinclair could finish speaking, the man’s words cut her off.

On the other end of the line, his tone was extremely serious. "Chloe, I’m three months short."

Chloe Sinclair was stunned and didn’t react for a moment.

"Three months for what?"

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I’m still three months shy of thirty."

Chloe Sinclair: ...

"Mr. Shaw, why are you being so childish today, hmm?"

Chloe Sinclair sounded slightly exasperated. "Anyway, you’re my boyfriend. That’s a fact, and no one can change it."

After thinking for a moment, Chloe Sinclair said, "Are you going back to Kennet for the New Year?"

Jasper Shaw hadn’t expected her to change the subject so quickly. Despite looking at his packed schedule, he said, "I’m free. I don’t have anything scheduled for the New Year yet."

Chloe Sinclair wasn’t suspicious, since in her past life, Jasper Shaw was almost always home during the New Year.

"Alright then. We’ll go back together, and you can meet my dad and my brother."

"Hmm?"

Jasper Shaw didn’t quite process it at first.

Chloe Sinclair repeated herself with incredible patience, "This New Year, take a few days off and come back with me to meet my dad and my brother."

Jasper Shaw’s heart skipped a beat. He stared blankly at the multi-million-dollar contract in front of him, but at this moment, it couldn’t hold his attention at all.

"What, you don’t want to go?"

Jasper Shaw quickly shook his head. "No, I’m just a little surprised."

’A wave of ecstasy washed over him. He finally understood how lucky he was to be in a relationship where the feelings were mutual.’

"I’ll go home with you this year."

The two of them talked for a full half hour. When it was time for her third class, Chloe Sinclair reluctantly hung up and went into the classroom.

「Shaw Group」

Jasper Shaw was leaning back in his black leather chair when Ian Winters happened to walk in.

"Boss, there’s a remote conference in ten minutes."

"Okay."

Jasper Shaw thought for a moment, then said, "Sort out my schedule for the New Year in advance."

Ian Winters nodded at first, then looked surprised. "Are you taking time off this year?"

Jasper Shaw’s eyes flicked upward and he raised an eyebrow. "Why? Am I not allowed?"

The man’s voice was bone-chillingly cold, and Ian Winters subconsciously shook his head.

’What a joke. If the boss says he’s taking a vacation, who would dare to say no?’

"But there are some meetings that really can’t be pushed back."

Before Jasper Shaw could speak, Ian Winters quickly interjected, "Boss, would it be possible to change them to video conferences?"

Hearing this, Jasper Shaw nodded. "You handle it."

Seeing that Jasper Shaw was in a good mood, Ian Winters guessed that this whole business with his schedule was related to a certain someone.

Ian Winters specialized in sucking up to Jasper Shaw when he was in a good mood.

"Boss, is this about a date with Miss Sinclair?"

Jasper Shaw shook his head. "No."

Ian Winters’s smile froze.

’He’d guessed wrong?’

’That can’t be right.’

’Miss Sinclair was probably the only person who could make his boss this happy.’

’If it wasn’t Miss Sinclair, then who was it?’

Just then, Jasper Shaw stirred, looking straight at him. His eyes held a look of undisguised... gloating!
