From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Huff and Puff

By the time anyone tried to hold them accountable, the entire laboratory was long since empty.

These people had fled abroad a year ago.

At the time, the incident was deemed a disgrace.

Chloe Sinclair remembered media reports from that time stating the profits were as high as ten billion.

Because of this, many small and medium-sized laboratories had spent millions on equipment, and countless researchers, unable to bear the financial ruin, ended up jumping to their deaths.

Just then, the System suddenly announced the mission completion notifications.

Eight, as the system’s butler, was somehow even more excited than Chloe Sinclair herself upon hearing the mission completion announcement.

Chloe Sinclair’s eyebrow twitched. "System, I want to redeem an item."

Eight’s celebratory dance came to a sudden halt. The light in its blue eyes dimmed, and in the next moment, they transformed into a single, large wavy line.

If Eight had a mouth, Chloe Sinclair was certain it would be pouting right now.

"You’re such a spendthrift! You’ve barely earned any reputation value, and you’re already planning to spend it."

Chloe Sinclair countered without hesitation, "But you just said it yourself—that I already have a lot of reputation value."

’I have quite a few fans abroad, too. My reputation value must have gone up again recently.’

"You must be the stingiest system in the world, bar none."

Eight felt terribly wronged hearing that.

But Chloe Sinclair’s growth had completely surpassed its expectations, so all it could do was protest in silence.

However, Chloe Sinclair had no intention of letting Eight off the hook.

Inside the System, Eight, who had been playing dead, suddenly opened its blue eyes again.

Seeing that Chloe Sinclair still hadn’t caught on, it huffed and puffed as it mimed the act of running.

But Eight was simply too massive, and its joints made a CREAKING sound.

The sound was so loud it made Chloe Sinclair’s ears hurt.

But it was Eight’s reminder that finally jogged her memory.

"Sorry, my mind just went blank for a second."

An apologetic look filled Chloe Sinclair’s eyes.

Hearing this, Shawn Styles quickly waved his hands. "No, it’s okay."

Although he was a little disappointed that Chloe Sinclair had completely forgotten her promise, he also knew how busy she normally was.

’I should be glad she even remembers who I am.’
