Chapter 373 - 462: Senior Brother Protects Junior Sister
At first, President Logan flatly denied everything, playing dumb.
It wasn’t until Tiana Warren identified him and Chloe Sinclair presented her evidence that President Logan finally made a full confession.
Aaron Archer’s patent was recovered, the plagiarized paper was retracted by the journal, and numerous other publications invited him to write and submit a new article.
Aaron Archer felt like he was still dreaming. As he watched all the invitations from various journals flood his contacts, a sense of unreality washed over him.
"Boss, thank you."
Stepping out of the police station, Aaron Archer’s eyes were red as he thanked Chloe Sinclair with all his heart.
He didn’t have much money. His parents were farmers who had worked tirelessly to put him through graduate school, and the legal battle over the past few months had drained all of his savings.
He had been thinking that if the case didn’t go his way, he would just have to accept the loss and find a decent job back in his hometown.
He never imagined he would meet someone like Chloe Sinclair, who solved his problem so easily.
"Heaven’s net is vast; it may be slow, but it misses nothing."
Chloe Sinclair didn’t want to take all the credit, so she joked, "Just work hard for me from now on. I promise I won’t rip you off."
Aaron Archer froze for a second, then, seeing the playful look in Chloe Sinclair’s eyes, he broke into a smile.
"Alright. I’ll be sure to make you a lot of money, Boss."

Ultimately, a civil suit was filed against Whitespire Tech. Now, they would face the consequences of the law.
Chloe Sinclair handed everything over to her lawyers, not sparing a single one of the online marketing accounts that had tried to smear her name.
’Some people just love to make a quick buck doing dirty work.’
After finishing up at the police station, she was just about to head home for some much-needed rest when her grandfather called her in a flurry.
Before she could even say a word, the old man asked, "My dear, are you really researching quantum communication?"
Chloe Sinclair didn’t hide it. "Yes," she said gently, "but it’s still just a preliminary theory."
She kept her explanation vague, but her grandfather understood perfectly.
His heart swelled with excitement. On the other end of the line, he gripped his cane tightly and laughed heartily. "Excellent! My dear, make sure you get some rest. Grandpa will come see you when you’re back in Emberfall!"
Then, he added with a sigh of admiration, "There’s hope for the next generation. So much hope!"
Who says the youth of today can’t be the backbone of our nation!
He was certain that in less than ten years, Chloe Sinclair would become a pillar of the nation.
Of course, Chloe Sinclair knew why her grandfather was so excited, but she didn’t say much more, simply reminding him to take care of his health before hanging up.
Chloe Sinclair had no doubt about her grandfather’s words.
She had always believed that in every country, in every era, heroes would rise to the occasion.
After hanging up, Chloe Sinclair lay down on her bed and was asleep in moments.
When she woke up and checked her phone, she discovered her messages had completely blown up.
She had received hundreds of messages in just a few hours.
Even more alarmingly, she’d been added to several new group chats.
She opened them to take a look.
’Good grief. They’re all messages tagging me.’
The messages were all from her mentors from the show and various professors at Emberfall University.
Chloe Sinclair stared in stunned silence for a moment before it dawned on her.
The police hadn’t released all the details on Weibo, but the professors had likely put two and two together. They sent messages of support while also asking for updates on the situation.
Chloe Sinclair replied to each message, assuring them she had the situation under control.
Just then, however, a message suddenly arrived from her senior, Nathan Trenton.
[Little Junior, do you need a lawyer? I have a friend in the Emberfall University law department. I can put you in touch if you need. Also, if you need them, I can lend you the Trenton Group’s entire legal team.]
Chloe Sinclair’s lip twitched. ’Now that’s what I call a power move!’
