Chapter 194 Victoria is Really Impressive
Alan was like, "Alright, folks, give it up for Victoria, aka Dor, who's cranked out over 200 top-tier journal papers!"
As soon as Alan dropped that bomb, the crowd went nuts, clapping like crazy, while some folks just stood there, jaws on the floor.
"Wait, did he just say who Victoria is? And how many papers did she publish?" Caleb blurted out, totally floored.
Out of the four, only Owen had heard of Dor’s reputation.
Owen's jaw practically hit the ground; Victoria being Dor was way beyond what he ever imagined. He never thought she'd be the legendary 'research genius' everyone in the medical world was buzzing about.
Two hundred top-tier medical research papers? That wasn't just brains; that was some next-level genius, and Victoria was only twenty-four. Most people her age were just figuring out life after college.
Victoria being the world-famous research whiz Dor? Yeah, no one saw that coming, not even Owen.
Alexander heard the news and just raised an eyebrow, staying quiet.
His intense gaze locked onto Victoria as she got up and made her way to the podium.
She was rocking a light gray suit with a black shirt underneath, and some killer black and white heels that showed off her slim ankles.
Her hair was casually tied back, and she had that tall, slender runway model vibe going on. Even from behind, she was a total showstopper.
Victoria hit the stage, and Alan handed the mic over to her.
When she turned around, everyone had to admit she was drop-dead gorgeous, with those bright, almond-shaped eyes that just sparkled.
Right then, she was glowing, grabbing everyone's attention without even saying a word.
Meanwhile, the online crowd was losing it. They knew Victoria.
The comments section blew up:
[Wait, isn't this the Victoria everyone says is a stuck-up, disrespectful, and nasty piece of work, the black sheep of the Kennedy family?]
[She published 200 top-tier journal papers? Isn't that something only old pros can pull off?]
[Dor is my hero. Thanks to her, I could write my paper. Can't believe she's younger than me and a total babe.]
[I'm in the medical field too. I managed to finish my thesis because of her.]
[Dor is a legend in medical research.]
[No way she's this young.]
[The Kennedy family is gonna eat their words big time.]
Over at the Kennedy Villa, Clara, still laid up and recovering, was glued to the live broadcast. When she saw Victoria, her jaw practically hit the floor.
She was freaking out, trying to wrap her head around why Victoria was at this high-level academic shindig, why she was the big mystery guest, and how in the world she turned into the famous research genius Dor.
Clara's brain was spinning with a million questions.
Watching the live stream, she kept muttering to herself, "No way, it can't be her. Absolutely not!"
Victoria was up at the podium, owning it. She was like a superstar, tossing out those professional terms like they were nothing, not even glancing at her notes. It was like this stuff was second nature to her.
Her smooth delivery made it clear she hadn't prepped a script. No one doubted she was the real deal. After all, at a serious international academic conference, who'd even think to fake it?
But, of course, there was always that one person.
A comment popped up in the live chat:
[Who knows if she's faking it? She's pretty convincing.]
And the clapbacks came in hot:
[I thought I was dumb, but you take the cake!]
[Anyone with half a brain wouldn't say that.]
[Seriously, look at the event. Who could fake this?]
[If you're so smart, why don't you give it a shot?]
[Yeah, your dumb comments are blocking my view of Victoria.]
Back at the Kennedy Villa, Clara's hands were shaking with rage as she read the comments, her teeth grinding together.
In the exhibition hall, Alexander's intense gaze was locked on Victoria at the podium.
To him, she was the only one that mattered.
Alexander's lips tightened a bit.
Right then, he had this sudden urge to hide her away. She was too dazzling, and he wanted to keep her all to himself.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel proud of her.
Meanwhile, the news that Victoria was the famous research genius Dor blew up on all the major news outlets.
The folks at Horizon Group were losing their minds. How did their CEO turn out to be the research genius Dor?
The crossover was just too wild!
Over at the Howard Villa, Nathan and the crew saw the news and, while totally surprised, felt a swell of pride.
In a villa halfway up a mountain, the living room TV was also tuned into the live event.
"Victoria is truly something else," an elderly man standing by the sofa remarked, but the room stayed silent.
Caleb chimed in, "Victoria is amazing. How the heck did she pull that off?"
