Georgia and Professor Lee sat in the front like this. More and more students as well as the professors from other schools arrived slowly, and many people recognized Professor Lee.
Before Percy's seminar began, the many people that knew Professor Lee came over to greet him.
Eventually, everyone realized that Georgia and Aston were by his side.
During this period of time, Georgia had been a famous person online.
Before this, when Georgia and Professor Lee were intentionally provoking Percy, Georgia had already left an arrogant name for herself in the academic field.
Added that with the reputation of plagiarism, everyone had a clear impression of her. Together with the recent discussion online, Georgia's photo had already been viral on the Internet.
Hence, more and more people noticed Georgia, and everyone was discussing among themselves. The look that they gave Georgia and Professor Lee was meaningful, carrying both mock and confusion.
More and more students arrived in Imperial University, and they were all discussing the gossip between Georgia, Robert and Emma.
Many of them discussed in disdainful tones.
"That murderer even has the audacity to come join the seminar, isn't she thick-skinned?"
"Not only that, have you seen the latest news online? Robert has already released the video of the car accident, it wasn't caused by Georgia, it was caused by that evil guy Eden."
"I think this woman has been wrongly accused. But if this is the case, even if she's not a murderer, does this mean that the incident of her plagiarising her mentor's thesis and getting fired was fake too? Is her life so miserable, was she wrongly accused for that too?"
…
Georgia listened to these comments calmly.
Aston suddenly started comforting Georgia.
"Don't mind those people's words, people just follow what others are saying, many people don't even care about the truth, they will forget about it once it is out of their mouths. No one will really hate you forever, after a while they will forget about you."
This was the first time Aston had showed concern for her.
Georgia smiled.
"I'm fine, I'll take it as giving them the excitement of gossip. What happened to me in the past was way worse than what is being discussed by others right now. Compared to that, being mocked and scolded really don't count as anything."
These type of incidents will test whether you have a strong heart, if you're not strong, even if there were no gossip online, you might not even be able to endure a few people scolding you.
If you are strong, even if thousands of people were scolding you, you wouldn't take it to heart.
Georgia had already gotten out of the process of caring about what others think.
The hall was very crowded, everyone was anticipating the arrival of Professor Percy, and seeing what Professor Lee was doing by bringing Georgia.
The nature of humans was to watch a show, they had already predicted that the reason Georgia was here with Professor Lee was not merely as simple as watching a seminar.
After about half an hour, the workers on the stage had begun to arrange the mics and adjust the sound effects.
This process lasted for about a few minutes, then the workers finally finished preparing the things on stage. After a while, a student representative acted as the emcee, and he started speaking in front, introducing the progress of biology and pharmacy fields over these years.
After concluding the research progress of Imperial University and its achievements in recent years, the student emcee started introducing Percy's research progress and his life achievements. In a nutshell he was praising Professor Percy's achievements, and this was a routine process.
Professor Percy was already very used to giving seminars, hence, he was only worried about the people sitting below.
He was very skilled and enthusiastic in his seminar. He gradually heated up the atmosphere in the hall, and this led his confidence to increase slowly.
After that, Percy explained his research outlook on his experiment progress. He predicted the direction of what would happen in the next five years, and gave the seated students a lot of encouragement.
At this stage of the seminar, it was almost coming to an end, the last session was student's question time.
The emcee walked in front, and concluded the seminar for everyone.
Following that, the emcee stood next to Percy and started speaking.
"It's the last session now, I welcome everyone to ask Professor Percy any questions."
Imperial University students were naturally very active. After the emcee's words, many people raised their hands, indicating that they have questions.
Usually under this situation, Professor Percy would raise his hand and randomly point to someone, then this person will ask his question, and he would reply.
But just at this moment, Georgia stood up in front of everyone, she walked up to the stage, and walked next to the emcee.
"Can you pass me the mic? I have something to say to Professor Percy."
Georgia was now a famous personality online, the emcee also knew her. He was a little stunned, and Georgia repeated her question politely.
"Can you pass me the mic, I have something to clarify with Professor Percy that has to be done on this occasion."
Georgia's presence was strong, even though she had said it in a polite manner, but in her voice there was no room for rejection.
After repeating her request twice, the emcee passed the mic to her in a stunned manner.
Below the stage, discussion broke out, no one knew what Georgia was going to do by suddenly going on stage.
Of course most of them felt that they finally have a show to watch.
Previously when they saw Georgia, they knew that she wasn't simple, and the seminar today was definitely not an accident. Now, they can finally watch the show.
As for Percy who was sitting on stage, his expression was terrible, he hadn't even thought that Georgia would come on stage now.
"Ms. Lane, it's student question time now, may I know what do you mean by coming on stage and disrupting the whole seminar?"
Percy asked her coldly. Georgia laughed, she held the mic and walked next to Percy.
Facing the thousand plus students, Georgia looked at Percy and started speaking.
"Professor Percy, didn't we agree previously that we would debate today? Six years ago, everyone said that I had copied your experimental data, and because of this, I was fired from the school. In these six years, I have been thinking countlessly, how do I clear myself of this injustice? Until today, I have to prove to everyone, who in fact came up with the experimental data that year."
Percy started feeling nervous, did this woman really have evidence in her hands?
But, he had gotten Anaya to steal away Georgia's experimental data, and he had proven his own research ability, what did Georgia still have in her hands?
Percy didn't know, but, under this occasion, he couldn't lose to her strong presence.
If not, everyone would definitely be suspicious of him.
"Ms. Lane, you were once my student, I initially thought very highly of you, but you wanted to take the shortcut. In the scientific field, the biggest taboo is to copy others. If you want to reap results without sowing, it's not that I don't want to give you a chance, but in the academic field we cannot encourage the trend of plagiarism, what would those hardworking people think? Hence I didn't help you cover up, and you have since kept your hatred for me, I can understand. But until today, you're still unwilling to let go, I wouldn't know how to make you satisfied anymore, it's obvious you have gone crazy and no longer has a pure heart for scientific research."
Percy said all these heavily, as if looking at a student that had gone down the wrong path.
Georgia gave a few laughs.
"Professor Percy, since I am here today, it's natural that I already have all the evidence ready. As for what you mentioned about the research progress, the research outcome that you achieved this year, I would like clarify to everyone about that once again. There were errors in your experimental data, do you know the reason why? Because you got someone to steal my data, but those data were the incomplete ones, so, you told everyone that your research was incomplete and there was room for more breakthrough. But I know where is the breakthrough."
"Ms. Lane, are you crazy? I stole your experimental data? You can ask everyone present here whether they believe you, your words are pluck out of thin air, slandering people out from nowhere. Are you crazy?"
Percy was anxious, yelling subconsciously.
Georgia took her USB and plugged it into the computer.
"I know that everyone present has a lot of questions, I believe Professor Percy also has a lot of questions, then I will explain to everyone my experimental data and my experimental process."
The huge screen displayed the PowerPoint that Georgia had prepared, and Georgia started explaining the experimental data progress since six years ago.
She explained very easily, as if she understood the experiment to the core. Slowly, Georgia started introducing her research breakthrough this year.
From every piece of data, every progress, to every data mistake, and which data would result in a breakthrough, Georgia gave a good explanation. Compared to Percy's data, hers was more complete, and the accuracy rate and breakthrough rate was also higher than Percy's.
The audience started discussing among themselves, everyone started having suspicions, and Percy who was sitting at the side started yelling.
"This is a false experimental data, you must have gotten someone to steal my data, then falsified a more accurate data."
"Professor Percy, you don't have to panic, is my experimental data false? Based on the few points you and I mentioned just now, the students here can all go back and do their own experiment based on our different data. Then, we can see whose accuracy rate is higher. Of course, this would require time to prove the truth, but currently, I want to let everyone watch a video, and listen to a recording."
Georgia turned on her USB, and played the video and recording that Robert had given to her last time regarding Percy.
