From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Birthday Party

The day of the birthday party arrived.

「Sunday Evening」

A gentle breeze swept by as the setting sun cast long shadows, staining the sky a bloody red.

An understated, elegant Maybach slowly pulled up to the Austin Hotel, stopping just before the red carpet.

The bodyguard stepped out of the driver’s seat, rounded the car, and opened the rear door.

The next moment, a young woman in a long, white evening gown captured everyone’s attention.

The young woman was dressed in a pure white gown. Her cascading black curls fell over her chest, offering a subtle glimpse of her delicate collarbones.

The dress made her skin look as white as porcelain, and under the soft lights, she resembled a delicate white lotus in bloom.

The young woman strode slowly into the hall, leaving the guests she passed momentarily stunned.

Only after her figure had disappeared from view did someone ask, "Whose daughter is that? I’ve never seen her before."

"We should ask around inside. If the chance arises, we could even propose a match."

A murmur of discussion rippled through the crowd.

Suddenly, a wealthy businessman’s wife stared thoughtfully at the young woman’s departing figure. "You know," she mused, "I can’t help but think she looks like Chloe Sinclair."

The crowd fell silent.

Her words were like a stone tossed into a still pond, sending ripples through the large crowd. A moment later, the chatter exploded.

"Chloe Sinclair? That’s impossible!"

"Aren’t the rumors that Chloe Sinclair is hideously ugly and ill-mannered?"

"Exactly! I heard Mrs. Rhodes say that not only is Chloe Sinclair a terrible student, but her personal life is a mess. A completely useless good-for-nothing."

"Maybe she’s the daughter of some other prominent family?"

Voices of doubt rose one after another, the crowd clearly unconvinced by the woman’s suggestion.

The wealthy businessman’s wife had only made a casual guess because the young woman looked familiar. She hadn’t expected to be contradicted by so many people, and her expression immediately soured.

Many of them felt the sudden urge to punch someone.

The Sinclair family’s daughter was clearly gorgeous, so what kind of fucking idiot insisted she was ugly and vulgar?

Damn those rumors!!

Mr. Sinclair naturally felt the peculiar stares from his peers and couldn’t help but feel a surge of vindication.

"Director Sinclair, long time no see."

A sarcastic voice suddenly called out from behind him.

Mr. Sinclair frowned and turned his head.

A flicker of contempt crossed his eyes when he saw who it was, but he kept a smile on his face. "Chairman Rhodes, long time no see."

As he spoke, Mr. Sinclair’s gaze shifted to the young man and woman behind Chairman Rhodes. He said warmly, "And these must be your son and daughter?"

Before Chairman Rhodes could respond, the young woman behind him spoke up. "Hello, Mr. Sinclair. I’m Yuna Rhodes, a classmate of Nina and Chloe."
