From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 475

Chapter 475: Chapter 472: My Adoptive Parents, My Nightmare

Nina Sinclair’s case would still take some time to process, but the Emberfall Police had made a point to call and tell her that Nina would definitely receive a heavy sentence.

Chloe Sinclair, however, didn’t really care.

Even if Nina Sinclair only got three years, Chloe could just send her right back to prison if she got out and started causing trouble again.

Three days after the incident concluded, it was time for Chloe Sinclair to start the new semester.

Chloe Sinclair was very low-key when she arrived at campus to register. She wore a padded athletic jacket from a domestic brand, and a black mask covered most of her face. Her bangs hid her forehead, leaving only her dark eyes visible.

Chloe Sinclair first went to find Joel Quincy and Nathan Trenton.

Thanks to the success of the reactor, Joel Quincy had been struck with new inspiration and was recently working on a new proposal.

Since it was the first day of the semester, Joel Quincy was on campus.

At the beginning of the year, Nathan Trenton had also become a professor at Emberfall University—a tenured one, at that.

Chloe Sinclair was a little surprised when she found out.

"I thought you would’ve gone home to inherit the family fortune, Nathan."

’Just like her brother, using their family’s fortune to fund his own research.’

Nathan Trenton gave a bitter smile. "My family isn’t nearly as open-minded as your dad."

Back when his father found out he was studying Physics—nuclear physics, no less—he nearly broke his legs.

After that, how could he dare to use the family’s money?

But Chloe Sinclair shook her head. "Nathan, if your family truly didn’t support you, they wouldn’t have let you stay here and do research all this time."

Nathan Trenton was from a certified powerhouse family in Emberfall, a famous second-generation heir in the Emberfall Circle. If his family didn’t want him involved in research, they would have had a million ways to drag him back home long ago.

How could they possibly have let Nathan stay in this field for so many years?

Besides, back when research funding was tight, the Trenton Family had helped out.

Nathan Trenton, being in the thick of it, couldn’t see it, but Chloe Sinclair, as an outsider, saw it more clearly than anyone.

"You can’t see the forest for the trees."

Those few words from Chloe were enough to make Nathan Trenton’s expression shift.

The perpetual knot in his brow seemed to finally loosen at that moment.

Nathan Trenton faced Chloe Sinclair and said with sudden solemnity, "Chloe, thank you."

Chloe Sinclair just smiled without saying a word.

Nathan Trenton helped her finish registering and pick up her textbooks, and she prepared to head back.

Classes started the next day. Chloe had been busy for so long, she planned to get a good night’s sleep.

But she didn’t expect to run into major trouble before she even left the office.

At some point, a man and a woman had appeared at the door. They looked to be middle-aged.

Neither of them looked pleased. The man wore a military-green vest, his temples graying. The woman had long hair, but her face was haggard.

The one thing they had in common was a petty, unrefined air that made one feel distinctly uncomfortable.

They peered into the office with shifty, furtive glances.

Although Nathan Trenton felt uneasy, he assumed they were some student’s parents. He frowned but still asked, "Excuse me, are you two looking for someone?"

The pair froze, saying nothing.

Suddenly, Chloe Sinclair, seeing that Nathan wasn’t moving, stepped forward from behind him to see what was going on.
