Free Web NovelChapter 205: Chapter 205: Almost Made a Mistake
Chloe knew that anyone who could get into Joel Quincy’s lab was a top talent, so they must have passed the character evaluation.
The reason they had given her such a hard time before was likely because her sudden arrival, parachuting into the lab, was bound to make some people uncomfortable.
Chloe Sinclair had seen plenty of this in her past life, so she didn’t pay it any mind.
However, the three of them were genuinely taken aback this time.
After all, if Chloe were to patent the flow fusion reactor, it could make an unimaginable amount of money.
But Chloe didn’t seem to have her guard up at all.
Noticing their looks, Chloe explained, "I’m not planning to patent it."
In fact, of the several research projects she currently had, only one was patented, and even that was for public benefit.
"The majority of my research findings will be donated to the country."
Chloe’s statement was deliberate.
Most of the people here were renowned scientists from Zenthia. By saying this, she wasn’t just expressing her ideals; she was also trying to build connections for the future.
After all, more connections meant more opportunities.
Just as she’d hoped, her words caught the attention of many leading figures.
Chloe didn’t return to her apartment until noon.
As was her routine, Chloe entered the system to study for a while. It wasn’t even one-thirty when she emerged.
[BEEP BEEP—Friendly neighborhood announcement: Sharon Thorne is about to be sentenced to five years. We on this end suggest Host open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.] freёwebnovel.com
Eight’s sudden, snarky announcement made Chloe pause.
At the same time, Chloe was a little puzzled and couldn’t help but ask, "The sentence was passed down that quickly?"
[Pretty much. In any case, Sharon Thorne is not going to have a good life.]
Chloe believed that, too.
"’Good begets good, and evil begets evil. You reap what you sow. Sharon Thorne got what she deserved.’"
Even five years felt like letting her off easy to Chloe.
In her past life, she hadn’t paid much attention to her family, so she didn’t know many of the details of what happened online.
Still, she could imagine the predicament her brother, Gabriel, must have been in at the time.
And when Nina Sinclair ultimately accused Gabriel Sinclair of plagiarism, a good number of Sharon Thorne’s fans were involved in the pile-on.
Chloe’s eyes darkened. "Eight, I have a bold idea," she said.
Within the system, Eight’s entire mechanical body went rigid. It instinctively felt there was a hidden meaning behind Chloe’s words.
Despite not having a heart, it clutched its little chest, its voice trembling. "[We on this end suggest that you refrain from having any ideas!]"
But Chloe just smiled faintly. Her words, however, were enough to make Eight ache with fury. "But I on this end *already* have an idea."
In the end, thanks to Eight’s desperate objections, Chloe did not post the news of Sharon Thorne’s marriage and affair online.
[Sharon Thorne has already received her due punishment. Regardless, the Sharon Thorne of this lifetime has paid the price for her actions. It’s not appropriate to release the evidence you have right now.]
Chloe drew back her hand, seemingly unfazed by Eight’s words. "Relax," she said lightly. "I was just kidding."
It took a moment for Eight to realize, and it flew into a humiliated rage. "[You tricked me again!]"
It had been so worried she’d do something foolish, babbling on and on trying to persuade her.
Who would’ve thought she was just kidding?
Eight was hopping mad, but Chloe just shrugged. "Well, it’s your fault for being so naive. You believe everything I say."
After she spoke, her gaze suddenly darkened.
’Just a moment ago, she really had been planning to get revenge on Sharon Thorne.’
’But Eight was right. The Sharon Thorne of this lifetime had already paid a price for her actions. If she resorted to the same tactics as Sharon, how would she be any different from her?’
’But what about Nina Sinclair?’
