"Flora, you're toast!" Lydia sneered. "Believe it or not, in less than half an hour, you'll be trending for all the wrong reasons! Your reputation will be in shambles!"
Flora just gave her a look like she was the one off her rocker and coolly replied, "Let's see who really ends up in hot water."
...
Then, out of nowhere, the live stream cut off, and the internet went wild.
Folks who had been watching grabbed clips and shared them all over Twitter. Flora came off as bold, even getting someone to smash Lydia's phone. If it were anyone else, they'd be slammed online and trending for sure.
Usually, gossip like this would have marketing accounts chomping at the bit, but this time, they were steering clear.
Flora was seen as a national hero, with the country having her back, so they wouldn't dare spread anything negative about her.
Without these accounts fanning the flames, the situation didn't blow up as expected, but plenty of fired-up people still flocked to Flora's Twitter to vent their anger.
Before they could do much, Flora's Twitter account suddenly pinged with an update.
Flora's Tweet: Check it out.
Just three words, no fluff.
A long image and a link followed.
Curiosity got the better of everyone, and they clicked through to find the image was actually a comparison chart.
It was Blake's paper side-by-side with FL's paper.
A sea of red corrections.
Anyone with half a brain could see that Blake had basically copied FL's paper.
Blake had put out twenty SCI papers, and it turned out nearly all of them were rip-offs.
"Wow... this comparison is so damning, I can't even try to defend her! An Associate Professor at the University of Maple Grove, and all her work's a sham!"
"In the video, she even claimed it was her hard work. What a joke, does she not see how hypocritical that is?"
