From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Leave the Rest to the Police

When Chloe Sinclair returned to her lab, she saw Shawn Styles sitting on the sofa, looking completely shell-shocked.

Chloe changed into a more comfortable pair of slippers, filled a cup with warm water from the dispenser, and silently placed it in front of Shawn.

After doing all that, Chloe walked to the window and, with a sharp SWISH, yanked open the curtains.

Glancing down, she saw the three thugs lying on the ground, groaning in agony.

When she turned back, Shawn still hadn’t reacted.

"Drink some water. Settle your nerves."

Chloe’s words instantly snapped Shawn back to reality.

He scrambled to grab the cup in front of him and took a sip. Just as Chloe had said, he finally started to pull himself together.

Seeing this, Chloe got straight to the point. "What are you doing here?"

It was the middle of the night. Shawn’s presence here was, to say the least, highly suspicious.

Shawn’s expression stiffened. He clearly didn’t want to talk about it.

Chloe knew he didn’t mean any harm, so she didn’t press him. Instead, she changed the subject. "You noticed something was off a while ago, didn’t you?"

Shawn hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"I didn’t know you were away filming, so I went to the school to look for you. I heard you had a research lab near campus, so I came looking for it."

"When I got here, I saw a few men climbing over the wall, but they left a few moments later."

"But then I got busy with training, and it slipped my mind. I didn’t remember to warn you when I saw you. Today, it came back to me, so I went to your apartment. When I saw you weren’t there, I panicked and rushed over here."

Because he remembered those men, he had spotted them the moment he walked in.

After he finished speaking, Shawn looked at Chloe, his expression tense.

Chloe didn’t say anything for a long time.

Shawn thought she was angry. The sound of their breathing filled the lab.

"I know."
