From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386: Chapter 475: Differential Treatment

Chloe had also prepared many gifts for Joel Quincy, and she sent them along with one hundred of Gabriel’s autographed photos.

In a word: ostentatious!

Less than a day later, Joel Quincy received his package.

He also sent Chloe a message.

"How do I convince my niece these autographs are real?"

A moment later, Chloe dropped a video into the chat.

"Video proof."

After watching the video, Joel Quincy immediately thanked her and sent her a digital red envelope, treating it as New Year’s lucky money.

Chloe accepted it without a second thought. When she opened it, she was surprised to see it was for 1,888 yuan.

While that amount might not seem like much for a distinguished academician, Joel Quincy frequently supported his students financially and made large monthly donations. This sum was nearly equivalent to his entire monthly living expenses.

It was proof of just how much he valued her.

The next day, Chloe helped Uncle Warren clean the house.

This task was usually Aunt Warren’s, but ever since the major incident with Tiana, Aunt Warren had felt she had let the Sinclair family down. Despite Mr. Sinclair’s attempts to persuade her otherwise, she resigned the day after Tiana went to prison, leaving behind one hundred thousand yuan.

Chloe refused to accept it and had the one hundred thousand yuan transferred back to Aunt Warren’s account.

Aunt Warren hadn’t done anything wrong, so she had no reason to apologize, much less use her own retirement savings to pay for Tiana’s mistakes.

"Miss, how about we hang the spring couplet here?"

Uncle Warren held the spring couplet and gestured to a spot.

Chloe thought it was a good spot and nodded. Together, they hung it on the main gate.

On the third day, Chloe spent a relaxing day at home, flipping through a few books in the study.

In the afternoon, Chloe threw on a thick coat, grabbed a mask, and got ready to head out.

Just as she reached the foyer, she ran into Gabriel, who was also preparing to head out.

Chloe asked, "Didn’t Ms. Mayfield tell you not to go out?"

The moment Chloe said that, Gabriel unleashed his inner drama queen. Looking utterly wronged, he whined, "I’ve been stuck at home for almost half a month! If I don’t get out soon, I’m going to die of boredom."

Chloe let out a dry laugh.

Her smile was unreadable.

She didn’t call him out on the fact that he snuck out almost every day.

Besides, they had just been out on the town together two days ago.

Gabriel sensed a deeper meaning behind her laugh. He watched Chloe warily and explained, "It’s just... New Year’s is tomorrow, and I wanted to buy a couple of new outfits."

If his manager hadn’t confiscated eight of his suitcases, he wouldn’t be in this position of needing to go out and buy clothes.

"Your closet is already overflowing with clothes!"

The corner of Chloe’s mouth twitched.

Although Mr. Sinclair didn’t give his sons much of an allowance, all their monthly necessities were provided for. In terms of clothes alone, they received ten new outfits every month. And that wasn’t even counting Gabriel’s status as a celebrity—brands were constantly begging him to accept free clothes and accessories for his public appearances.

His closet was already stuffed to the brim!

And he had the nerve to claim he had nothing to wear!

For a moment, Chloe was at a loss for words.

"A lot of those are sponsored outfits. They’re fine for events, but a little too much for everyday wear."
