Chapter 233: Chapter 233: The Thief Cries “Catch the Thief Chapter 233: Chapter 233: The Thief Cries “Catch the Thief “You want evidence, fine, I’ll give it to you,” Hope Williams said with a voice so cold it instilled fear.
Ellie Field’s breathing started to quicken, but she forced herself to stay calm. She didn’t believe that Hope had any evidence.
Hope walked over, picked up her phone, and projected its content onto the big screen. It was a chat record sent to Director Woods.
Ellie Field’s face stiffened.
Hope glanced over mildly and said, “These two docunts are what I sent to Director Woods yesterday.” She lifted the two papers in her hand, “They’re the sa ones you submitted today. The difference is, the ones I sent included my original ideas and drafts.”
The tistamp on the chat record was indeed from yesterday at 4:10 PM.
“Yes, Hope sent these docunts yesterday,” Director Woods said authoritatively.
A stir went through the crowd.
“That ans Doctor Williams submitted her docuntation way earlier than Cynthia, so the plagiarist may not necessarily be Doctor Williams.”
Ellie Field tensed up and imdiately stepped forward, raising her voice, “She just anticipated this. She plagiarized my work and submitted it ahead of to fra at this mont.”
The crowd found Ellie Field’s words to have so rit.
As soon as Ellie Field finished speaking, Hope curled her lips into a cold smile. Just as she was about to speak, Elder Murphy, standing to the side, lifted his profound gaze and spoke first.
“Doctor Williams, I have a few questions that puzzle , could you please answer them?”
Hope t Elder Murphy’s gaze with composure. “Elder Murphy, please ask.”
“As everyone knows, fulminant myocarditis is a very severe heart condition that can easily lead to rapid heart failure once it flares up. How can you ensure the highest success rate in surgeries for such issues?”
Hope’s eyes shifted, almost without any hesitation she began to respond. Her voice was confident and steady as she clearly and thoroughly explained her approach and the pros and cons of the treatnt.
The question Elder Murphy asked was directly addressed and proven in the content of the thesis.
Soone picked up the dical paper and double-checked against Hope’s response. They couldn’t help but be astounded. It matched the content in the paper word for word.
What was more crucial, by adding her verbal explanation, Hope enlightened the audience who were previously unclear about the problems described in the paper.
At that mont, a discordant voice rose once more, “Ha, what a joke, Doctor Williams. Elder Murphy just talked about maximizing surgical success, and what you stated is utter nonsense.”
“Nonsense?” Elder Murphy raised an eyebrow slightly, a frown forming on his face, a clear realization flashing in his eyes. He nodded, then turned his gaze towards Ellie Field, “Does Doctor Cynthia have a different opinion?”
Ellie Field smiled and promptly answered, “In the case of fulminant myocarditis, surgery can be done through interventional…”
After finishing, Ellie Field lifted her head, “So the surgical thod Doctor Williams ntioned is too risky. How can you ensure the patient’s life? If it’s not nonsense, what is it?”
Ellie Field’s answer made the cardiologists present furrow their brows, whispering their doubts to one another.
Seeing the people beside her whispering, Ellie Field frowned and looked around, “Is there sothing wrong with my answer?”
Elder Murphy’s brows tightened slightly, his gaze turned colder, “Do you truly think what Doctor Williams said is nonsense?”
“Yes.” Ellie Field insisted on denying Hope’s words.
She was Cynthia, and naturally what she said carried more conviction than what Hope said.
“Since you think it’s nonsense, why then did you write this on page two of the thesis?” Elder Murphy asked sternly.
“What?” Ellie Field’s face stiffened, panic began to surge within her, “What do you an?”
“Are you serious, Doctor Cynthia? You don’t know what Elder Murphy is talking about?” A doctor handed the paperwork to Ellie Field, asking, “You don’t know your own writing?”
“The question Elder Murphy just asked was discussed in the paper. Doctor Williams’ answers matched what was written, word for word. Isn’t this what you wrote? You deny your own words? You say what you wrote is nonsense? Then why did you write it in the first place?”
Questions arose again.
Everyone was intelligent enough to sense sothing was amiss.
Hope could clarify what was written, yet Cynthia seed to think it was nonsense. If she had truly written it, how could she deny it? Obviously, she didn’t know what was written beforehand.
aning, the thesis wasn’t written by her hand.
Ellie Field trembled slightly, “I…”
“Did you really write this paper?”
“I did write it, of course, I did!” Ellie Field’s voice turned sharp as she spoke aloud.
“But obviously, your performance just now proves you have no idea what was written. Thus, when Doctor Williams spoke, you doubted and denied it.”
Ellie Field clenched her teeth tightly, the gazes of everyone present fixed firmly upon her, her face ashen beyond recognition.
“What’s the matter, not talking anymore? Weren’t those research results yours? Can’t explain them now?” Hope Williams stood to the side, watching with icy detachnt, her questions cutting through the air.
“I… I just forgot, there’s so much I wrote in there, forgetting is normal.”
“Normal? You forget the results of your own research and the upgraded techniques that you developed yourself?”
Elder Murphy questioned sternly.
Ellie’s heart quivered, she bit her lip so fiercely that she was suddenly unable to find a reply.
“God, don’t tell she actually copied it, otherwise, how could she know nothing about the research results, the thods outlined above?”
“Can soone tell what exactly is going on here?”
“Cynthia actually plagiarized?”
“My mind is spinning, can soone please explain what’s happening?”
“It’s quite obvious, isn’t it? The plagiarist is Cynthia. If both docunts were truly written by her, she wouldn’t have just denied what Doctor Williams said. And look at Doctor Williams, reciting it without missing a beat.
Everyone here is in the dical profession and should know very well that unless those contents are ingrained in their mory, they couldn’t perfectly answer all those issues even if they tried to morize it on purpose. Doctor Williams has truly mastered the knowledge and grasped the advanced techniques; isn’t the situation clear enough?”
“But, she is Cynthia, the famous Cynthia plagiarizing? I can’t believe it.”
“If she hadn’t just blatantly refuted Doctor Williams, I wouldn’t believe the plagiarist was her either. After all, it’s Cynthia, a legend in the dical community, the idea of her plagiarizing is unbelievable.”
“She was the one playing the victim, how despicable.”
Hope advanced towards Ellie, her eyes filled with frost, and lifted the two docunts, “What else have you got to say?”
“No, it wasn’t like that, it was you, Hope, it was intentional, you’re framing , you plagiarized my work, now you’ve conspired with others to set up.”
“Heh.”
Hope’s laugh was heavy with mockery.
“Then tell any content from here, just one complete sentence, and I’ll admit defeat.”
With a flick of her hand, Hope tossed the docunts right in Ellie’s face.
With a sharp “smack,” the papers struck Ellie squarely, and she staggered back two steps, falling to the ground.
As papers fluttered to the floor, malice flashed in her eyes, “No, I am Cynthia, I am, who in the dical community can compare with ? How could I possibly plagiarize your work, it’s clearly you, Hope.”
Ellie remained defiant to the death, but evidently lacked any persuasive power in the face of facts.
Because of her defiance, soone raised doubts, “Given Cynthia’s ability, she really shouldn’t need to plagiarize.”
Hearing soone say this, Ellie imdiately felt a glimr of hope, lifting her head towards that person, “Right, how could Cynthia ever need to plagiarize…”
“So now, I’m beginning to doubt whether you are actually Cynthia.”
Ellie’s face, already drained of color, twitched fiercely.
“I’m also starting to wonder whether she’s really Cynthia. With Cynthia’s abilities, how could she resort to plagiarism? After all, we’ve never seen Cynthia in person. Could this person be an imposter?”
Others boldly speculated.
“Moreover, she’s not just plagiarizing, but also biting back. Oh, my goodness, it’s just shattering my worldview. One mont claiming she could never plagiarize and declaiming plagiarizing as beneath her, and the next, the plagiarist turns out to be her, utterly disgusting. In my eyes, Cynthia was an imnsely respectable figure; she couldn’t possibly be like this. I deeply doubt whether she’s really Cynthia.”
As everyone voiced their suspicions, Ellie’s identity seed riddled with holes.
Aside from the recomndation letter signed with her seal, she had nothing to prove she was Cynthia.
“What’s everyone doing huddled up here?” A crisp, pleasant voice sounded.
Vivia Fuller had heard there was trouble and guessed it involved a clash between Hope Williams and Ellie Field.
With so many people gathered, it must be Hope who had been caught plagiarizing and had beco the target of scorn. Vivia had co specifically to enjoy the sight of Hope’s downfall, even calling Alitzel Williams and notifying Waylon Lewis.
She wanted them to see Hope’s humiliating plight.
Instead, what Vivia saw was beyond belief; her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Ellie, crumpled on the ground in disarray.
And there stood Hope, her white lab coat pristine, her deanor cool and aloof. Her proud and elegant stance made the figure on the ground seem even more like an insignificant ant.
The scene, so different from what she expected, caused Vivia’s mocking smile to freeze harshly on her face, her composure faltering.
