From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Julian Dawson: My Parents Bought It for Me in Full

Jasper Shaw sent her a "good night" message, then went silent.

Chloe Sinclair’s brow twitched. She placed her gloves on the lab bench and walked over to sit on the sofa in the break area.

She started a video call.

The first time, Jasper Shaw rejected the call in less than a second.

Just as Chloe Sinclair was about to start a second video call, Jasper Shaw beat her to it and called her.

"Chloe, sorry, I accidentally hit the wrong button just now."

The video connected, and a close-up of a handsome face filled Chloe Sinclair’s screen.

Jasper Shaw was dressed in a suit, his hair slicked back immaculately. Behind him was a row of bookshelves filled with all sorts of books.

It only took a glance for Chloe Sinclair to know that Jasper Shaw was still at the office.

But it was already almost ten o’clock.

"You’re not in bed yet?"

Jasper Shaw sounded a little guilty. "I’m working late today. I’ll definitely get to bed earlier tomorrow."

Having been with Jasper Shaw for so many years, Chloe Sinclair could tell he was just saying that to placate her.

Perhaps afraid she would press the issue, Jasper Shaw quickly changed the subject. "I went to the training center to pick you up today, but they said you’d gone to the hospital. What happened?"

He had actually already had someone look into it.

But he wanted to hear it from her directly.

At the mention of this, a flicker of exhaustion crossed Chloe Sinclair’s eyes, but she had no intention of hiding it from him.

"One of the young athletes from the training center came in early for extra running practice and something happened."

Jasper Shaw asked instinctively, "So they’re blaming you?"

Chloe Sinclair’s expression faltered for a moment before she nodded.

Jasper Shaw had only gotten a partial report and didn’t know the full details.

Hearing her confirm it, his heart ached for her.

But he also felt a little hurt. "Something this major happened, and you didn’t tell me?"

Chloe Sinclair was taken aback for a moment. She could hear the hurt and frustration in Jasper’s tone.
