Chapter 479: 0479 Refuses to admit even in death_1

Ellen Young temporarily couldn’t discuss the matter with Andalu officials, but she could talk to Clinton White.

"I suspect that this person’s award-winning thesis was bought, my expertise tells me the thesis didn’t originate from him, but I need solid evidence."

She only stated her suspicion, her relationship with Clinton White was different, she didn’t need to explain much, and now by mentioning it, Clinton White understood even better.

"From Andalu?"

Upon mentioning serious matters, Clinton White’s expression immediately became grave, "I’ll have someone look into it right away. Is it a big deal?"

"If it really was bought, then the issue is significant. It’s best not to get Andalu involved, just find the evidence and pull out the person responsible."

Clinton White also understood the gravity of the situation. After receiving Ellen Young’s response, he ended the call and immediately began investigating.

Ellen Young felt reassured asking Clinton White to handle this matter, knowing he would soon give her a satisfying answer.

Adding to that, the isolated genius was tearing into the matter herself, and she had promised that she wouldn’t intervene until she heard back tonight, so she took a break for now.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up in the morning, she saw that the matter has escalated on Twitter.

The cause was Theodore Hailey’s fans.

Unwilling to let Ryan Henderson call out Theodore Hailey directly on Andalu Official Blog, they demanded Ryan Henderson prove himself, and when Ryan Henderson produced forum screenshots, they accused him of fabricating timestamps.

As they were not professionals, they were of course arguing irrationally based on their fan instincts, but the incident caught the attention of other prominent Twitter users.

Twitter was known to have hidden talents, and nowadays many professors had their own Twitter accounts. Could others not know what they surely did?

Just one look at the forum comparison was enough to know something was seriously wrong.

At first glance, it might seem unremarkable, but upon closer examination, oh wait, are there really two theories that clash?

Isn’t it time to quickly @Andalu for an explanation?

It was then that Andalu University realized the seriousness of the situation.

Even though Theodore Hailey insisted his thesis was original, he couldn’t explain the coincidence of the two theories with another’s work. Convincing laymen with the idea of a ’brainwave’ was one thing, but professionals could tell if he had been "inspired." Moreover, the real issue was that the two theories he had collided with weren’t actually proposed by Ryan Henderson himself but by a friend he had discussed with on the forum.

Theodore Hailey was summoned to his tutor’s office at eight in the morning, where his tutor asked sternly, "Theodore, you need to clarify to me what the similarity between these two theories is all about."

Theodore Hailey had always been his tutor’s most promising student, certainly having genuine talent, with several award-winning theses, and was a favored talent who received special attention from higher-ups. Such a big controversy arose, and his tutor was initially quite disbelieving.

Because Theodore Hailey was capable, why would he copy a theory proposed by a netizen on a forum?

What was the real story behind that person?

But crucially, the two theories had indeed received praise from professors, and the main highlights of the commendations for Theodore Hailey’s presentation focused on the particularly innovative and unique points of view, meaning these two theories were significantly important compared to the full text of Theodore Hailey’s presentation.

"I really didn’t."

Theodore Hailey was sweating by this point, but still managed to keep a calm expression, "I don’t know what happened, Professor, I swear, I had already discussed these two theories with someone else two months ago."
