Chapter 495 - 492: Watch Out, Mr. Shaw Will Delete Your Comment

Chloe Sinclair spoke earnestly for several minutes, then glanced at the time and said, "I’m going to head upstairs for a bit. I’ll come down to find you later. We’ll go to the old estate together tonight."

Jasper Shaw thought for a moment and nodded. "It’s supposed to rain tonight. In that case, we might have to stay the night at the estate."

Chloe Sinclair mulled it over. "Okay. Once we’re at the estate, there’s something I need to discuss with Mr. Shaw anyway."

Jasper Shaw had a good idea of what Chloe Sinclair wanted to discuss, so he nodded.

He suddenly remembered something and said, "The boss of Tangerine Live came to apologize just now. What do you plan to do about it?"

It wasn’t just Tangerine Live. Other marketing accounts wanted to apologize too, but not just anyone had his WeChat. Even his work account wasn’t easy for outsiders to get.

’If I’m not mistaken,’ he thought, ’there must be a lot of people downstairs waiting for us right now.’

Hearing this, Chloe Sinclair said, "You handle it. I don’t care either way."

"Alright."

Jasper Shaw paused. Seeing the exhaustion in Chloe Sinclair’s eyes, his heart ached.

"I’m sorry."

Chloe Sinclair looked up, not understanding what Jasper Shaw meant.

"You were put through a lot today."

He couldn’t imagine what would have happened if Chloe Sinclair had gone back to her apartment alone today. Would the reporters waiting there have been just like the crowd from earlier?

’Dozens of people mobbing a young woman... what if something had happened?’

The more Jasper Shaw thought about it, the more unsettled he became.

"You should have more people with you from now on. Otherwise, I won’t be able to rest easy."

Originally, the Suttons were supposed to be protecting Chloe Sinclair, but she found it inconvenient to have people following her, so she had them guard the lab over at Emberfall University instead.

’If Chloe Sinclair had bodyguards with her, who would dare to bully her?’

The more Jasper Shaw thought about it, the more convinced he became that he should hire more bodyguards.

After hearing him out, Chloe Sinclair fell silent for a moment before finally refusing. "That’s not necessary. Once the new drug is complete, I’ll probably be dedicating myself completely to the quantum communications field. The details of that project likely won’t be made public. If you want to see me, you can ask Mr. Shaw if he has any ideas."

When Jasper Shaw heard this, his face fell.

But then, a thought seemed to strike him, and he suddenly said, "We’ll be seeing each other every day then."

Chloe Sinclair didn’t pay his comment much mind.

She chatted for a few more moments before heading upstairs.

When she arrived at the office, Owen Warren was there, dressed in a white lab coat with a pair of white-framed glasses perched on his nose.

He glanced at Chloe Sinclair, a little surprised.

"Boss, you’re here."

Chloe Sinclair nodded. "How is the experiment progressing?"

Owen Warren’s eyes lit up instantly. "Boss, the APL you mentioned last time really works! The experiment is about ninety percent complete now."

Owen Warren was smiling so broadly that wrinkles creased the corners of his eyes.

But Owen Warren didn’t care in the slightest.

Even if no one else could understand why he was so happy, he was still thrilled, so much so that he felt an urge to cry.

Over the past few months, he and the other lab members had researched tirelessly. They started with the first differentiated cell and had now gone through over a dozen reaction steps. Just last night, they optimized the synthesis pathway and improved the molecular structure, which greatly enhanced the drug’s properties.

But without the notes Chloe Sinclair had sent over, they would probably still be spinning their wheels.

Achieving more than a dozen reaction steps in less than three months was beyond everyone’s expectations.

"Boss, when are you planning to write and publish the paper?"

Chloe Sinclair was taken aback. "Why would I write the paper?"

Owen Warren grew anxious. "If you don’t write it, who will?"

They had conducted all their experiments based on the notes Chloe Sinclair provided. The lead author should be her.

The fact that Chloe Sinclair didn’t plan on writing the paper was making him quite anxious.

If this paper were published, it would undoubtedly cause a massive sensation.

"That’s not what I mean."

Chloe Sinclair knew he had misunderstood and quickly explained, "I only gave you a general direction for the experiment. I wasn’t involved in it from start to finish very much. I was thinking that since you’ve been following the experiment the whole time, you should be the one to write the paper."

"I know a few professors. They could help with a recommendation to see if it can be published in an overseas journal."

In truth, effective anti-cancer drugs had been around for a while, so Chloe Sinclair wasn’t entirely sure if it could be published in an international academic journal.

She was afraid of disappointing Owen Warren, so she added, "I can’t be sure if it’ll get into a foreign journal, but it definitely can be published domestically."

’Not only can it be published, but it’ll also cause a huge storm.’

Owen Warren nodded as well. "I just hope the mechanism of action test in seven days goes smoothly."

If it does, it can be put into medical use as soon as possible.

Chloe Sinclair knew this too. "Don’t worry, it will be soon."

She knew the young people in the lab had been working overtime constantly these past few months; otherwise, they wouldn’t have progressed this quickly.

’If I had been overseeing the molecular synthesis all by myself, it would’ve taken ages to get to this stage.’

That was why Chloe Sinclair wasn’t concerned about her position as first or second author on the paper.

"I’ve already applied for clinical trials. Once the experiment is complete, I’ll get the media to report on it."

Owen Warren frowned, not understanding what Chloe Sinclair meant.

"Can’t we just put it directly into use?"

Chloe Sinclair countered, "If you were a patient’s family member, would you recognize the name Gleevec or APL?"

Gleevec is a targeted therapy drug for leukemia, and currently the most effective one available.

One box costs tens of thousands of yuan and lasts for a month.

Almost every patient’s family knows of it.

Owen Warren only had to think for a moment to understand everything.

’Chloe Sinclair plans to use the media for publicity!’

"Okay! I’ll write up the paper and give it to you to review!"

Chloe Sinclair didn’t refuse and nodded.

For the remainder of her time there, Chloe Sinclair reviewed all the experimental procedures. She also had Eight double-check if there were any errors in the experimental approach. After getting confirmation that everything was correct, she finally left the lab.

When she returned to Jasper Shaw’s office, he was still working.

Chloe Sinclair didn’t disturb him, instead opting to sit on the sofa and rest for a little while.

After Jasper Shaw finished his work, he looked up and was greeted by a particular scene.

The purplish-gold sunset outside was reflected on the window pane. Chloe Sinclair was leaning against the sofa, her breathing light and steady. It was a picture of perfect tranquility.

Jasper Shaw didn’t have the heart to disturb her. He got a blanket from the break room and draped it over her, then took out his phone and secretly snapped a photo.

Then, he opened his Weibo and posted it.

Instantly, netizens discovered that Boss Shaw had actually posted something new from his personal Weibo account.

But one look at the content left them speechless.

Jasper Shaw’s personal Weibo was very simple; even the profile picture and background were the default ones.

And his earlier posts were all about showing off his relationship.

This time was no exception.

"The damage is minimal, but the insult is critical."

"Argh, even a thirty-year-old uncle has a girlfriend, but I’m a twenty-year-old college student who’s never even held a boy’s hand."

"I bet the comment above is about to be deleted by Boss Shaw."

Sure enough, the next second, the comment calling Jasper Shaw old was deleted in less than a moment.
