Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267: Chapter 267 The Accusation Against Rose

Samantha’s words instantly shattered the solemn atmosphere in the conference hall.

Dr. Nathan’s expression darkened.

A cold, humorless laugh escaped him, but he didn’t speak immediately. Instead, he chose to wait and see what Samantha would say next.

Rose also thought she must have misheard.

She had expected Samantha to make trouble, but she never imagined she would publicly accuse her of plagiarizing an academic paper.

Grace frowned. “What evidence do you have?”

The senior officials seated nearby remained expressionless.

Clearly, the situation had taken a serious turn.

If Rose had truly committed academic misconduct, being exposed in front of so many government officials and leading medical experts would leave her with nowhere to hide.

She would likely be blacklisted from the academic community and held fully accountable.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Members of the research teams from the various universities were equally stunned.

Many instinctively held their breath for Rose.

Even Oliver frowned.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Ryan.

Despite the chaos unfolding around him, Ryan remained seated calmly, leaning back in his chair with one leg crossed over the other.

His expression was cold and unreadable as he quietly observed the scene.

His indifference seemed almost excessive.

Only then did Oliver speak. “If this truly involves academic misconduct, it absolutely cannot be tolerated.”

Seeing Ryan remain completely detached, Samantha finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Dr. Nathan let out a cold snort. “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“Explain yourself.”

The fact that Dr. Nathan had addressed her personally caused Samantha to straighten her back.

She cast an almost regretful glance toward Rose before declaring in a firm voice, “I am reporting Rose for academic fraud.”

“Impossible!”

“There must be some misunderstanding!”

Alicia shot to her feet, immediately protesting.

The moment she spoke, James—who had been frowning throughout—finally looked in her direction.

Almost instantly, whispers spread throughout the conference hall.

The solemn atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Only moments earlier, Rose had been the center of admiration.

Now, she had suddenly become the focus of everyone’s suspicion.

Yet she remained perfectly calm.

Looking directly at Samantha, she asked, “Academic fraud?”

“Plagiarism?”

“Whose work did I supposedly plagiarize?”

Seeing Rose remain so composed, Samantha sneered inwardly.

She believed Rose was merely putting on a brave face.

As long as today’s accusations were proven true, Rose would be permanently ostracized from the academic community.

With a faint smile, Samantha pointed toward the presentation screen behind Rose.

“If I’m not mistaken...”

“The work you plagiarized belongs to Aster—the final disciple of Dr. Nathan.”

The moment those words left Samantha’s mouth—

Rose’s lips twitched ever so slightly.

She was genuinely caught off guard.

Even Dr. Nathan, who had maintained a stern expression the entire time, suddenly relaxed.

The gloom disappeared from his eyes.

In its place appeared a faint, meaningful smile.

He calmly picked up his teacup, blew lightly across the surface, and silently waited to see how everything unfolded.

Even Caleb, who had already risen anxiously from the audience, quietly sat back down.

The others, completely unaware of the underlying situation, all wore grave expressions.

Grace frowned even more deeply.

She found it difficult to believe Rose would ever commit plagiarism.

Alicia was nearly frantic.

Forgetting her usual shyness in front of so many people, she hurriedly defended Rose.

“That’s impossible! Professor Rose would never do something like that. This has to be investigated properly. We can’t condemn someone based solely on one person’s accusation.”

Samantha frowned slightly.

She clearly disliked seeing Alicia defend Rose so fiercely.

Looking around the room, she said firmly, “I chose to report this because I want to protect the integrity and authority of the medical profession.”
