Chapter 470

Author: Tightrope
Cedric's words confirmed beyond doubt that Ariel was the author of the research papers.

Everyone knew Ariel was Carlos' student, and that Carlos and Cedric rarely saw eye to eye. So if even Cedric had spoken up in Ariel's defense, it was undeniable that the papers were truly hers.

Cedric wouldn't have vouched for Ariel just to save Carlos' reputation. His statement was the most credible in the room.

Despite their frequent disagreements, Carlos and Cedric shared a deep commitment to fairness and integrity in the academic world.

Frederick's face paled as Cedric dismissed his suspicions. He instinctively glanced at Nancy.

Nancy struggled to suppress the emotions surging through her. But the twitching of her lips betrayed her inner turmoil. She couldn't believe Cedric had spoken up for Ariel.

Had he known Ariel all along? Why hadn't he mentioned her before?

Nancy had been completely unaware of Ariel's true capabilities. The three research papers had shaken her. If Ariel continued t

    After the whirlwind of events, Ariel had unexpectedly gained instant recognition in the academic world.She understood what Chad meant. In hindsight, the earlier incident had indeed become a stepping stone for her.Chad spoke thoughtfully. "Honestly, for those of us in research or academia, the public rarely hears our names, no matter how great our achievements. Some may never experience a moment like this in their entire careers. "Their work goes unnoticed. But you were fortunate to have a platform like today's event. Maybe we should thank Mr. Swanson for his ignorance."It was true—academic accomplishments often went unrecognized by the public. Most researchers led quiet, low-profile lives.Initially, Ariel had faced accusations of misconduct. But Cedric's swift and unequivocal defense had turned the tide, confirming the papers were hers.The dramatic turn of events made the incident unforgettable.Now, Ariel's name would spread. Her position in the academic circle would be s

    When Frederick voiced his doubts, some attendees began questioning Ariel as well. After all, what Ariel had shared during her speech was undeniably impressive.But Frederick had a point. Ariel was only 25.Most people her age were still pursuing their master's or PhD degrees. Even the most gifted students were typically inexperienced, learning step by step under the guidance of professors and supervisors.Yet Ariel had developed an innovative flight control system for Faye Technologies—one that significantly advanced the country's aerospace capabilities. The results of that project had already earned widespread acclaim.And now, she had authored a top-tier research paper that experts were praising. It was a level of achievement that even prodigies might take years to reach. What was more, Ariel hadn't undergone any formal academic training in the field.On second thought, it did seem almost unbelievable that she had accomplished so much.So when someone voiced skepticism, others

    Even Carlos wore a soft smile—something rarely seen. He made no effort to hide how proud he was of Ariel.The other experts, who had initially seemed cold and distant, were now animated as they gathered around Ariel, eager to discuss the contents of her paper.The spotlight was firmly on Ariel. Surrounded by renowned figures, everything else faded into the background.Nancy watched in stunned silence as something she had never imagined unfolded before her eyes. She sat frozen, unsure how to respond or how to appear unaffected. Her fingers slowly turned cold.Frederick, still reeling from shock, finally snapped out of it. The thunderous applause and the students' enthusiastic discussions about Ariel's paper made it clear just how extraordinary she was.Yet Frederick's concern shifted to Nancy. When he looked at her, her face was expressionless.He clenched his fists, then stood and directed his gaze toward Ariel. "I have a question. When did you start writing that research paper,

    As soon as Russell made the announcement, Nancy froze. Her expression shifted from curiosity to utter bewilderment.She turned toward Ariel, who was already rising from her seat.Gasps rippled through the hall as Ariel stood. Meanwhile, Ashford University students—who had entered the hall a bit later—burst into enthusiastic applause. They had been informed in advance about this special segment. Most had already read the research paper, as the university had purchased access to it from the database. They were thoroughly impressed.Their admiration deepened when they learned the author was Carlos' new student. Ariel's depth of knowledge and expertise had earned their respect.Jayson turned his head, watching Ariel's profile with quiet intensity.Nancy, on the other hand, felt her heartbeat spike. Her mind seemed to stall, unable to process whether this was reality or some surreal illusion.Frederick noticed the change in Nancy's expression. He had just begun to grasp the signific

    Ariel was unaware of the speculations swirling around her. She and Carlos made their way toward the front row.As they walked, Carlos said sternly, "Let me know if Cedric Warbrooke ever speaks to you like that again."Ariel found it slightly amusing that Carlos took the earlier exchange so seriously, but she nodded obediently.As they approached their seats, Ariel noticed Nancy speaking with several renowned experts and editors.Still, Ariel quietly returned to her seat without engaging.Meanwhile, Nancy had just been introduced to Adrian Harrington, an editor, through Frederick.Adrian greeted her politely. "We can talk more after the event. Have you read any of the recently published research papers, Ms. Stanton?"Nancy hesitated. She'd been busy lately—even her trip to Nouburgh had felt rushed. She had intended to study the example paper they'd discussed in Nacsall after returning, but she'd been putting it off."Not yet," she admitted.Adrian smiled knowingly. "You might w
