From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 233

Chloe Sinclair was taken aback by what Eight said.

Thinking about how she’d been completely engrossed in her experiments lately, barely even touching her phone, a guilty expression surfaced on her face.

"After we wrap. Director Lancaster will be posting on social media anyway."

She could make a post then to let her fans know.

Eight quickly nodded, its whole machine-self getting excited. If the situation allowed, Chloe Sinclair felt like Eight would probably be dancing inside the system.

Chloe Sinclair chatted for a little while longer before quickly getting back in the zone.

Coincidentally, Chloe Sinclair’s progress bar had just reached 50%, which meant she could now run a simulated shoot within the system.

Soon, the scene in the system transformed into one identical to reality. Chloe Sinclair stood on the edge of a cliff, marveling internally. ’As expected of high-tech from the future. The simulation is so realistic.’

’It would probably take humanity hundreds of years to achieve this level of technology.’

"The holographic technology of the future is this advanced."

Chloe Sinclair touched the stone cliff face next to her, surprised to find that it even had texture.

"I’d really love to meet the person who invented you."

Eight was silent for a moment before saying, "You’ll have the chance."

Chloe Sinclair raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Eight would say that.

But she had always known that Eight and the system had their secrets, a dividing line that separated them from her.

Though she had been suspicious for a long time, Chloe Sinclair had never asked about it.

’If the system wanted to tell me, it would have done so long ago.’

Chloe Sinclair didn’t press the issue, and Eight clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

Being a machine really was better.

Chloe Sinclair rehearsed the scene several times in the system. More than ten hours later, she was woken up by someone, her eyes slightly red.

As Chloe Sinclair opened her eyes, they immediately felt sore and achy, and an overwhelming sadness washed over her entire body.

In the gloomy mountains, Chloe Sinclair’s senses picked up the sound of heavy rain hitting the leaves and splashing onto the ground.

Director Lancaster was still rushing between locations to set up the scene. As he passed Chloe Sinclair’s tent, he happened to glimpse her reddened eyes and the inescapable emotion radiating from her. He stopped dead in his tracks.

A moment later, his eyes lit up with pleasant surprise. He walked over to Chloe Sinclair and said, "Chloe, that’s the emotion! Hold on to it. I’ll get the other actors ready right now."

Chloe Sinclair still hadn’t snapped out of it.

She glanced at Director Lancaster and was startled to realize that two hours had already passed in the outside world.

After a moment’s daze, she slowly nodded, the emotion in her eyes yet to fade.

Seeing this, Paul Lancaster hurried off to get the other actors ready.

The production crew had waited for over half a month for this rain. If they didn’t get the shot this time, they would have to wait for the next downpour.

After Director Lancaster left, Chloe Sinclair remained seated for a long time. It wasn’t until the makeup artist came over to check on her makeup that Chloe finally registered that she had left the system and returned to reality.

She had to admit, the system’s holography was just too real. From the surrounding trees and rocks to the non-existent people, once she started, she felt as if she truly were the character Vivian. The fear, despair, and unwillingness to die flooded through her.

"Chloe, the director is calling for you."

The makeup artist’s words pulled Chloe Sinclair back to the present.

The dazed look in her red-rimmed eyes made the makeup artist’s heart flutter.

"Okay, I’ll be right there."
