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

A few more people stopped in their tracks, subconsciously touching their own faces.

HISS—

That’s gotta hurt!

Surprisingly, a hint of sympathy appeared in everyone’s eyes.

"Chloe Sinclair, you’re dead! I’m definitely telling my dad about this! When I do, I’ll make him beat you to death!"

At his words, Chloe Sinclair suddenly laughed.

Seeing Ryan Sinclair’s cheeks, swollen like buns, she abruptly let him go, pulled a wet wipe from her pocket, and disdainfully wiped her hands.

Ryan Sinclair, who had stumbled back several steps, finally regained his footing. But when he saw her gesture, he was so furious he felt like his lungs would explode.

His index finger trembled as he pointed at Chloe Sinclair, unable to speak for a long moment.

Suddenly, Chloe Sinclair looked up and said, "Ryan Sinclair, you turned eighteen last month, didn’t you?"

Ryan Sinclair’s gaze was wary. He stared at Chloe Sinclair without saying a word.

"Since you’re an adult now, you shouldn’t act like a kindergartener who runs to their mommy and daddy over every little thing."

As she spoke, Chloe Sinclair let out a low laugh. "Even if you do tell your dad, what can he do to me?"

Ryan Sinclair immediately wanted to retort.

But a sudden glance from Chloe Sinclair made him snap his mouth shut.

"Ryan Sinclair, don’t forget, I have nothing to do with your family anymore."

’If I hadn’t met this family, none of the tragedies of my past life would have happened.’

Lost in thought, Chloe Sinclair walked toward Ryan Sinclair step by step and said earnestly, "Right now, I am a freshman at Emberfall University, a researcher in maglev technology, and the sole heiress of the Sinclair Family. But the one thing I’m not is your sister."

"Understand?"

Chloe Sinclair’s voice was calm and unhurried, but every word was like a knife twisting in Ryan Sinclair’s heart.

He looked into Chloe Sinclair’s eyes and, for an instant, felt utterly terrified.

At that moment, he finally realized that this sister he had always treated like a slave had been completely transformed.

But then he remembered why he had come here today, and his heart hardened. "Heh! So what? Even if you’re back with the Sinclair Family now, even if you’re their precious heiress, my parents still raised you for all those years. After how you treated me today, aren’t you afraid I’ll expose you online?"

He knew that Chloe Sinclair was a celebrity online now, with tens of millions of fans.

If that damn girl didn’t listen to him, he would sell all her dirty laundry to the media.

If he was going down, he was taking Chloe Sinclair down with him.

He watched Chloe Sinclair, who remained silent for a long moment. Thinking he had found her weakness, he became even more arrogant.

"So? Ready to have a proper talk with me now?"

Chloe Sinclair: "...Are you mentally ill or something?"

’What on earth made Ryan Sinclair think he could threaten her with that?’

She didn’t want to waste any more time on Ryan Sinclair. "I don’t want to know why you suddenly came to Emberfall, and I don’t care what you want from me. If you’re in trouble, go find your real sister, Nina Sinclair. Right now, I want you to disappear from my sight immediately."

She had only come out today because she thought it was the only way to get Ryan Sinclair to stop bothering her.

However, she had forgotten just how shameless he could be.

It didn’t matter whether she agreed to see him or not. If Ryan Sinclair wanted something, the man would stick to her like a leech.

Just like in her past life, even after she had returned to the Sinclair Family and married Jasper Shaw, he had still been a vampire, clinging to her.
