Chapter 42 Counterfeit of Academic Qualifications
Chapter 42 Counterfeit of Academic Qualifications
"Mr. Knight said that the hospital in the United States needs to prepare several days in advance. There should be done on this Saturday. Mr. Knight will inform me of the specific time."
Hearing that, Vanessa nodded.
"These days I will take good care of Annie in the hospital, Georgia, you are certainly loath to leave Annie. Go to the hospital after work. Annie certainly hope you accompany with her."
Georgia nodded but felt sore in heart.
She had to make this decision, so, after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to let Annie and Vanessa go to the United States.
She wanted the people she cared about to live well.
Because, Georgia could not imagine how Robert would revenge her!
Georgia came to work by bus. It took her about 40 minutes from home to the institute.
The working hours started from nine o’clock, and Georgia didn't want to leave a bad impression on others.
So she got up at six in the morning.
When Georgia was to go out, it was 7:30.
When Georgia arrived at the institute, it was about 8:15.
By this time, the laboratory’s door was open.
But there was no one inside. Georgia took around and found Aston looking at a file next to the computer.
Georgia came over and said hello to him.
"Good morning."
Aston coldly raised his head to take a look at Georgia. He did not answer, but lowered his head to continue to look at the file.
Georgia subconsciously took a glance at it, it was the lung cancer targeting drug meeting records of this year's global biomedicine conference.
When looking at all kinds of data yesterday, Georgia remembered that almost all the big figures from all over the world attended the conference and discussed their research progress with each other.
Georgia had been in prison for six years. Now she was eager to learn about the current research and its findings.
Yesterday she tried to find the text version of the meeting, but she failed to find it.
Now Aston had it.
"Aston, can you give me a copy of this meeting minute? I want to see it. I failed to find it yesterday."
Hearing that, Aston raised his head to look coldly at Georgia.
"Miss Lane, we are the only two here, you don't have to act. You can’t understand this minute, so you don't have to pretend to me that you're trying so hard and that you know everything."
Georgia stared at Aston with wide eyes and then sighed helplessly.
"I don't know why you have so many misconceptions about me, Aston, but I really want to do research. I like to do research. And I hope I can make achievement."
Aston sneered.
"Don't act in front of me. It makes you look sick."
Georgia had no choice but to give up.
Well, she would ask someone else if they had a copy of the minutes.
Georgia turned to leave, but Aston warned her coldly.
"Miss Lane, I read your resume, it says that you graduated from Imperial University with a master's degree. I called my friends in Imperial University and they said there is no a graduate student called Gigi Lane. I advise you to keep a low profile, lest everyone knows that you have fake academic qualification!"
Georgia froze and then she turned to Aston.
"I don't want to explain. I do have something to hide. But I really want to do this job and make a difference."
Simon introduced to Georgia yesterday that Aston graduated from the Ivy League in the United States. He was capable and had high IQ.
Aston chose to enter the Mu Research Institute because Benjamin personally found Aston. They had the same research direction in philosophy and shared the same ideal.
That was why he joined Benjamin’s research team.
Aston found her resume had a problem, so he was angry.
Georgia understood Aston's dissatisfaction, if it were her, she would hate there was a member with false academic qualification.
Aston did not expect that this woman was shameless even if after being exposed.
And she even said she was going to make difference.
He stopped his work, stood up and waked to Georgia.
"Miss Lane, I've never seen anyone as impudent as you."
The man's eyes were disgusted, and his voice was cold.
Georgia felt upset and became silent.
She could not explain her identity, so she could not blame Aston for misunderstanding her.
"I'm sorry to have bothered you."
She looked up, not wanting him to see the tears in her eyes.
However, at the moment she raised her head, she found a chandelier shaking on the ceiling and was about to fall down!
And under the chandeliers stood Aston.
"Look out!”
Georgia rushed to him and subconsciously pushed Aston to the front.
Perhaps she failed to control her strength, she pushed Aston to the ground.
And she pressed on Aston's body.
"Bang!"
The voice that behind was chandelier fell broken, Georgia’s trembled.
The chandelier did fall down. It almost hit Aston's head.
They looked at each other in awkwardness. Their faces were so close that they could feel the breath of each other. The atmosphere was ambiguous.
"What are you doing!”
Behind came a woman’s angry roar. Georgia supported herself up from the ground, but, she was too flurried, when her hand were on the ground, the broken chandelier glass got into her hand.
The fragment plunged into her palm at a draught.
"Ah -"
Georgia had cold sweat all over her body out pain, and she could not help but scream.
Aston got up and helped Georgia up.
Georgia’s right palm was bloody, and that fragment was still in her palm.
Aston's face changed.
"I'll send you to the hospital right now."
With that, he hold Georgia up and rushed to outside quickly.
"Aston, let me help you..."
Anaya chased up and shouted, but Aston did not pay attention to her.
Anaya watched Aston holding Gigi left her line of sight.
She stamped her foot with envy.
Gigi must have pretend to be pitiful in front of Simon, otherwise, Simon would not be so anxious since he was an indifferent person.
The first time she met this woman yesterday, she felt threatened.
Now it had proved true.
Aston took Georgia into his car and drove toward the nearest hospital.
"Aston, it is just a small wound, the doctor can deal with it, drive slowly."
Georgia came back to her sense and she could endure the pain of the injury.
"Miss Lane, I just don't want to owe you! You saved my life today and I get you to the hospital. We're even! Don't worry, I won't divulge the fact that your academic qualifications are fake!"
Aston's voice was still cold, and he was shrouded in a kind of somber air.
Georgia looked towards him. Aston's side face was stiff.
Under that circumstance, she only wanted to save him.
In Aston's view, Georgia used this to threaten him to keep her secret, so his face was gloomy.
Georgia did not want to explain.
Aston should value knowledge very much. She thought when she made achievements, this man would respect her.
After arriving at the hospital, Aston helped Georgia to get the doctor bandaged her.
It was now two o’clock in the afternoon.
"Let’s go back to the research institute, the wound has been bandaged. I temporarily do not experiment but read the data."
Hearing that, Aston coldly looked at Georgia.
"I have helped to ask for leave, you don't have to act with wounds to work. We don’t need that. Even if you don't work too long, but if you have achievement, I will respect you, so don’t have the evil thought and do nothing, but just please others so that everyone feel you are serious!"
Aston's eyes were disgusted.
Georgia smiled wryly.
"Ok, I'll go home today, but I'll definitely be back at work tomorrow. The doctor said it's just a minor injury. Just don't touch the water."
"Suit yourself! Where is your home, I will send you back!"
Aston was still unhappy, nevertheless, he still send Georgia back to her community.
Georgia got off and then went to the window to thank him.
"Aston, I am home, thank you." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Aston nodded. He rolled up the window with a scowling face.
Then, he started the car and left.
Georgia returned home to change a suit of clothes, and then she went out again.
Yesterday she did not see Annie, so she decided to go to the hospital now.
Annie was now out of danger and no longer in intensive care.
But, she had a bad condition, so, Georgia let Annie live in the VIP single ward.
It would be quieter.
"Georgia, why are you here at this hour?"
When Georgia opened the door, Vanessa asked in surprise.
"The chandelier in the institute fell down, and it hurt my right hand, so I took a day off."
Georgia walked to the bedside of Annie.
Vanessa looked at Georgia's bandaged wrist and asked with concern.
"Is it serious? Just one day off?"
"Not serious, don't touch water these days and then have a check a few days later. I will go to work tomorrow. It's just a minor injury."
Vanessa nodded. Georgia had been sitting on the chair next to Annie's bed.
Georgia then took the story book and read it to Annie.
She went home at night.
And in the evening, Secretary Dean handed the investigation documents to Robert.
