From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Jealousy

Chloe Sinclair gave an honest nod.

She asked tentatively, "This counts as self-defense, right?"

The corner of the officer’s mouth twitched. He replied in a very official tone, "That will depend on our follow-up investigation and the statements from the other parties."

Chloe Sinclair nodded in understanding, then asked as if it were an afterthought, "But what if they were the ones who threatened my life first?"

The officer was momentarily at a loss for words, suddenly realizing the implications.

His brow furrowed. "What do you mean?"

Chloe Sinclair’s smile vanished. Her expression turned serious. "They came for revenge."

「Half an hour later, at the City Police Headquarters.」

Chloe Sinclair sat in a chair and recounted the entire incident in detail.

"The first thing I noticed was that the vase by the lab entrance had been moved. When I went inside, I stumbled upon the assailant who’d been hiding."

"I have many enemies, but as for those who want me dead, there haven’t been any until now. So I had a pretty good idea of who these people were."

"Yes, I’m the one who put Donovan Holt away a month ago. He has accomplices."

At this, the officer looked up. "We’ve checked their identification. It’s all clean, with no signs of forgery."

Chloe Sinclair wasn’t surprised by this in the slightest.

"That’s precisely why I made a recording. On it, the men personally admit to using fake identities. They also confessed to their involvement in those seventy-plus cases and the deaths of twenty-four people."

With that, Chloe Sinclair took a USB drive from her pocket and placed it on the table.

The officers exchanged a look. One of them immediately produced an evidence bag and placed the USB drive inside.

After more than an hour of questioning, Chloe Sinclair was finally able to leave the police station.

As she came down the steps, she saw Jasper Shaw climbing out of a Bentley, looking as though he had rushed over.

Chloe Sinclair stopped in her tracks, looking at Jasper Shaw in surprise.

Jasper Shaw wore an anxious expression and had already taken several steps before he spotted Chloe.
