Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Eldest Senior Brother, Your Nose is Bleeding
The situation escalated quickly. In less than a day, everyone knew about the campus bullying incident.
Everyone started avoiding the three roommates like the plague.
And just like that, their sham of a sisterhood completely fell apart.
They finally understood what Chloe Sinclair meant when she said they wouldn’t have an easy time from now on.
In the days to come, their professors grew to dislike them. Zoe Yates and Sylvia Holloway were also stripped of their eligibility to enter the lab, making it even more impossible for them to be recommended for graduate school.
Most importantly, they would have to face a police investigation, countless lawsuits, and hefty compensation fees. They would also endure the cold stares of teachers, classmates, and family. After entering the workforce, their criminal records from freshman year would even get them fired on the spot from major companies.
Chloe Sinclair didn’t feel the slightest bit of pity for what happened to the three of them.
Chloe Sinclair moved out of the dorm after the incident.
Her counselor suggested she consider moving into another dorm room, but Chloe Sinclair politely declined.
’After all, it’s better to avoid trouble than to invite it.’
After something like this, the department naturally respected Chloe Sinclair’s request.
Meanwhile, when Nathan Trenton heard about what had happened to Chloe Sinclair at school, he made a special trip to see her.
"Senior, I’m really okay."
Chloe Sinclair was exasperated. "I’m not as fragile as everyone thinks."
Nathan Trenton was taken aback by her words. He could see that Chloe Sinclair’s expression wasn’t fake, and he instantly felt relieved.
"It’s really not worth getting angry over people like that. After all, you’re on completely different levels. After graduation, you probably won’t even see them ever again."
Chloe Sinclair thought that made sense and nodded in agreement.
"What are you planning to do next?"
Nathan Trenton was asking about Zoe Yates and the other two.
Chloe Sinclair thought for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "If they weren’t afraid when they did those things, what do I have to be afraid of?"
’Besides, finding evidence will be a piece of cake.’
Chloe Sinclair wasn’t worried about that part.
"How’s the lab doing lately?"
"It is what it is. The funding is almost gone, but I invested a few hundred million into the lab, so we can hold on for a while longer."
Chloe Sinclair was stunned by his words.
Nathan Trenton raised an eyebrow. "Wondering where I got so much money?"
"Yeah."
Chloe Sinclair nodded honestly.
Nathan Trenton couldn’t help but chuckle. "You’re a smart girl. How have you not figured it out by now?"
Seeing the growing confusion in Chloe Sinclair’s eyes, Nathan Trenton said, "We met a few months ago at your father’s banquet."
With his reminder, a faint memory did surface for Chloe Sinclair.
Thinking about his surname, it suddenly dawned on Chloe Sinclair. "You’re the eldest son of the Trenton Family."
’No wonder his name sounded so familiar.’
In her past life, she was very familiar with that name. Nathan Trenton had been her second brother’s best friend. Unfortunately, he died before the age of thirty from long-term radiation exposure while researching nuclear Physics, with his illness ultimately being incurable.
Memories suddenly burst forth like a flood, the gates thrown open, finally connecting into a single, coherent line.
"I’ll finish the blueprints and theory for the professor this week. The controllable nuclear fusion experiment—we will definitely succeed."
’This time, if I modify the Mark Device and significantly reduce the radiation exposure, the tragedy of my past life won’t be repeated.’
"Well then, all our hopes are riding on you, Junior." Nathan Trenton didn’t mind Chloe Sinclair’s abrupt change of subject. He smiled gently, and it was dazzling.
Chloe Sinclair froze for a second, then pointed at Nathan Trenton’s nose and said, "Senior, your nose is bleeding."
