Chapter 251 Should we Tell them
After a brief pause, the reporter picked up the questioning again, but this time with a softer touch.
"So, what do you think about Mr. Hall's video online?"
Admitting to plagiarism would mean Upton was a total fraud!
In the academic world, that's the ultimate no-no!
Natalie flashed a bright, confident smile.
She stood up, her voice calm but firm.
"The real brains behind the tripartite collaboration project isn't Mr. Hall. He is just a thief, stealing commercial secrets. Now, let me introduce the star of our research, the scientist who won the top Quantum Innovators Award, Kyle."
The room went dead silent, everyone in shock.
From another door, a refined and handsome young man walked in.
The genius scientist usually seen only on TV or in magazines was now right in front of them.
Kyle didn't have the typical nerdy scientist vibe. He carried himself with a cool, noble indifference.
Every journalist in the room knew who Kyle was.
The room exploded with applause!
Cameras flashed non-stop.
Everyone knew Kyle hated interviews, so getting him to speak was a big deal.
It was astonishing he'd even come for something so insignificant.
With Kyle's appearance, all the rumors were squashed instantly.
His global status was unquestionable.
Upton's accusations were just a desperate act!
Compared to Kyle, any so-called expert or professor was insignificant.
Upton's career in the industry was likely over.
Kyle stood there for a few seconds, letting people snap photos, then Natalie's gentle voice broke the silence.
"Come up and sit."
Kyle walked over, smiled at Natalie, and they shared a knowing look.
The reporters' cameras caught every moment.
The internet blew up.
[So sweet.]
[How lucky to be noticed by Kyle!]
[Ms. Clark, marry me.]
Kyle sat down, smiling effortlessly, and started explaining the situation.
Maybe no one noticed, but Nathan and Gabriel, standing nearby, had very complex expressions.
Nathan whispered, just loud enough for Gabriel to hear.
"They really got Kyle to come. Ms. Clark has some serious pull. I bet there's something between them."
Gabriel's face darkened; Kyle's presence clearly annoyed him.
"What does it matter to you?"
Nathan picked up on his irritation and grinned.
"It matters to you. You've got one more rival in love."
Gabriel's face turned icy, just as he was about to retort, a reporter suddenly asked, "Ms. Clark, what's your relationship with Kyle? Just friends, or are you dating?"
The room fell silent.
Everyone was waiting for an answer.
The question was a bit over the line. she could have refused to answer and changed the subject.
But Natalie didn't seem bothered.
She smiled and glanced at Kyle. "Should we tell them?"
Kyle smiled back. "Your call."
Everyone held their breath.
It felt like a huge piece of news was about to drop!
Not to be missed!
Gabriel's face was tense, his hands clenched into fists.
Natalie paused for a few seconds, keeping everyone in suspense.
She smiled meaningfully.
The tension in the room was palpable.
Under the spotlight, in front of all the reporters, she took Kyle's hand, their fingers interlocked.
Her voice was gentle, with a hint of pride.
"Let me introduce you all, this is my brother Kyle Clark. He's an amazing scientist."
