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

However, what Chloe Sinclair said gave the director pause.

In the end, he gathered all the cast members and asked if they would be willing to use their makeup on the children.

He was just asking for their opinions, and while the others were still hesitating, Adela Armstrong shook her head emphatically. "Absolutely not."

As she spoke, her gaze flickered to Chloe Sinclair before quickly looking away. She couldn’t help but add, "A single set of my cosmetics costs tens of thousands. It would be a complete waste on these students."

Once Adela Armstrong said that, the others quickly agreed.

"That’s right. Our makeup is all from major international brands, and some of it is sold out everywhere. Using it on these students would be a total waste."

The director had only made a suggestion, but he was still displeased to hear what Adela Armstrong and the others had to say.

He turned his gaze to Gabriel Sinclair. "Gabriel, what do you think?"

Gabriel Sinclair, however, wasn’t concerned. "I don’t have much makeup, so it probably wouldn’t be enough anyway."

His manager had just shoved the cosmetics into his suitcase right before he left.

Chloe Sinclair spoke up at the opportune moment. "I have some makeup, too."

"We brought a lot, too," the two female students added.

Seeing this, the director let out a sigh of relief. "This should be enough. When the time comes, please work quickly to get the students’ makeup done. The performance starts at ten."

The words had barely left his mouth when Adela Armstrong, her face a mask of displeasure, couldn’t resist sniping, "These students live in the mountains day in and day out. They probably don’t even wash their faces regularly. Their skin must be terribly rough. Aren’t you worried you’re just wasting good makeup on them?"

Chloe Sinclair’s eyes darkened. "A foul mouth like that suits you perfectly."

PFFT—

The people nearby who heard her couldn’t help but laugh, quickly lowering their heads and covering their mouths to keep it from being too obvious.

Adela Armstrong’s face alternated between pale and livid, and rage burned within her.

’Just yesterday, Chloe Sinclair worked hard without a single complaint. I thought she was a pushover, but I never expected this girl to be so difficult.’

She took deep, angry breaths to compose herself, her eyes fixed on Chloe Sinclair like a venomous snake poised to strike.

But Chloe Sinclair didn’t even spare her a glance, simply turning around and heading back to the dorm.

Back in the dorm, they began to gather their makeup.

One of the female students couldn’t help but remark, "I never expected Actress Armstrong to be like that."

Adela Armstrong had achieved fame at a young age. She was nominated for Best Actress at twenty-five and won the title five years later.

However, her acting range was narrow, and in the fast-paced entertainment industry, she soon found herself with no roles to play.

Despite that, Adela Armstrong had always maintained a very good public reputation.

This was the first time they had ever seen this side of her in person.

Chloe Sinclair didn’t comment.

She hadn’t interacted much with Adela Armstrong, but after just over a day together, she had certainly not developed a good impression of her.

"Let’s go."

As Chloe Sinclair watched everyone gather their makeup, she couldn’t help but feel a little impressed.

’It wasn’t a matter of ’just enough’—it was more than enough.’

By the time they got to the classroom, many of the students were already there.

Having heard they would be getting makeup for the stage, all the students looked on with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.

Chloe Sinclair first had the schoolteacher help the students wash their faces. Then, she applied moisturizing cream to the children’s skin.

After more than an hour of busy work, Chloe Sinclair finally finished all the makeup.

Chloe Sinclair took a photo and, after getting the director’s approval, posted it on Weibo.

The post had barely been up for a second before Gabriel Sinclair reposted it.

[OMG, sis and bro are in the same shot again! I knew it, her favorite is still her little brother, hahaha.]

[It’s been almost two months! They’re finally in a picture together again!]

[Wait, Chloe is on Teacher is coming too? I thought the cast was already finalized?]

[Probably a guest appearance.]

[Am I the only one wondering why Adela Armstrong didn’t repost?]
