The colleague immediately raised her voice. "How dare you show up at the institute? You have brought humiliation upon us! How audacious of you to show your face here!"
Cherise was completely bewildered.
Heather quickly stepped in front of Cherise. "Serena, what are you saying? Isn't this matter still under investigation? Why are you accusing Cherise like this? What if the investigation results show that Cherise is the one being plagiarized? How will you face her as her colleague?"
"Colleague?" Serena sneered, "Who would want to be colleagues with such a shameless woman? I used to think she was brave for admitting that she didn't dare to conduct surgery. Now, it seems she is just shameless!"
Serena continued to vent her anger. "She claims to have made significant contributions in medicine and to be highly professional in academia, but what's the truth? Her paper is plagiarized! If this paper is plagiarized, her other papers might be plagiarized too, and her qualifications might even be fake!"
The more Serena spoke, the more she felt justified. "Furthermore, her family and her husband's family are wealthy. For the wealthy, academic qualifications, research papers... everything can be bought! This is a mockery of those of us who are dedicated to academia. She's trampling on our dignity!"
Serena spoke with such conviction that Cherise was almost tempted to applaud her. Undoubtedly, if Serena were accusing someone else who had indeed violated the rules, Cherise might excitedly applaud her words. Unfortunately, Serena blamed her, and she had never done anything remotely close to any of the things Serena mentioned.
Still, Cherise guessed what had happened from Serena and Heather's conversation. Most likely, someone had claimed that the paper Gwenn stole from her was their own.
She took a deep breath and gently patted Heather's hand, signaling her to calm down. Then, she smiled at Serena, saying, "I think I understand the situation you are referring to. As for whether I plagiarized, that's for the expert panel to determine. I'll talk to Mr. Whitlock and the hospital director."
