From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius Chapter 206: Shaw Group Crisis

Chloe couldn’t help but think.

Eight seed to realize it too. Noticing Chloe’s sudden silence, it guessed the reason and said seriously, "Nina Sinclair is different. In her past life and in this one, she has always wanted you dead..."

Eight stopped abruptly, as if there was sothing it couldn’t bring itself to say.

Chloe knew the system had secrets of its own and didn’t press the issue, instead taking the initiative to end the conversation.

Right now, she desperately needed an investor for Joel Quincy’s lab. That was the only way she would have enough money to build a flow fusion reactor.

Suddenly, Chloe’s eyes lit up as she thought of Jasper Shaw.

In her previous life, Jasper Shaw had indeed invested in nuclear physics, but that wouldn’t be for another ten years.

A decade would make a world of difference.

Jasper Shaw had made a fortune from that investnt.

’But if she could let Jasper Shaw reap the benefits early...’

「Shaw Group」

Jasper Shaw was reviewing a docunt when the tip of his nose suddenly itched, and he sneezed twice in a row.

"Sir, it’s getting late. I’ve ordered so food for you. Should I have it brought in?"

Ian Winters spoke up at the opportune mont, carefully observing his boss’s expression as he did.

’If anything seed off, he would make a swift exit.’

Just three days ago, several of the group’s shareholders had gone behind their boss’s back, secretly taking several billion to invest in a company.

When Jasper Shaw found out, he imdiately launched an investigation into the company. As expected, it turned out to be a shell company.

It had all the right paperwork, but that was it—the company itself was a sham.

Having lost several billion for no good reason, Jasper Shaw was, understandably, in a foul mood.

Because of this, Jasper Shaw had been run ragged the past few days, dealing with the pile of sses this had created.

As expected, Jasper Shaw frowned at his assistant’s words. "That won’t be necessary. Have the R&D manager co up in a little while."

Ian Winters hesitated. Seeing him still standing there, Jasper Shaw frowned and looked up. "Is there sothing else?"

Ian Winters said, "Miss Sinclair called earlier. She said she’s coming by the office and should be on her way now."

Jasper Shaw’s pen froze mid-signature. He was silent for a few seconds before suddenly standing up, his tone urgent. "Why are you just telling now? Go downstairs and et her. And you can tell the R&D manager not to co up today."

Ian Winters wasn’t surprised. After all, Chloe Sinclair’s very presence was an exception.

When Chloe arrived at the office, Ian Winters was already downstairs waiting. He spotted her and imdiately walked over to greet her.

"Miss Sinclair, it’s been a while."

"It has."

Chloe replied politely, her gaze then shifting to the space behind Ian, but she saw no sign of Jasper Shaw.

"Miss Sinclair, the CEO was held up by sothing and couldn’t co down to greet you himself. I hope you won’t take it personally."

Chloe was taken aback for a mont, realizing Ian had likely misunderstood. She didn’t bother explaining, simply asking, "Has your boss been busy lately?"

Ian Winters didn’t try to hide it.

After all, the incident was clearly deliberate, and he figured it was only a matter of ti before word got out anyway.

After Chloe heard the gist of what had happened, she raised an eyebrow. "Who set the trap? Any leads?"

"No. Whoever is behind this is too cunning. They haven’t left a single loose end."

As Ian spoke, a mory sparked for Chloe. This had indeed happened in her previous life.

Back then, Jasper Shaw was dealing with a chronic leg injury and was constantly in physical therapy. The company shareholders, eager to seize power, had ford factions to try and usurp his authority. But they had unexpectedly fallen into soone else’s trap instead.

As a result, the Shaw Group had been driven to the brink of bankruptcy.
