Abandoned Wife Rebirth To Slap Faces - Chapter 38: Chapter 38

At that moment, Georgia truly didn't want to have anything more to do with Louis. But seeing the raging crowd in front of her, she gritted her teeth, yanked the car door open, and got in.
Before she could even close the door properly, the car had already sped off.
Just as she was feeling a little touched by Louis's timely arrival, a soft voice instantly snapped her back to reality. "Why were those people ganging up on you, Georgia?"
That's when Georgia noticed Gemma in the passenger seat. 'So he'd come to pick up Gemma.' Georgia smiled bitterly at her own naivety.
Facing Gemma's question and the tissue she offered, Georgia replied coldly, "All thanks to you, wouldn't you say?"
Gemma blinked wide, innocent eyes, turning pleadingly to Louis. "Louis, maybe just drop me off here? Seems like Miss Murray's got a real issue with me."
Sure enough, Louis's face grew even darker at Gemma's words. "Sit tight, Gemma. She's the one who should get out."
Louis couldn't explain why seeing Georgia surrounded and insulted made him want to lash out. But facing her defiant attitude now made him infuriated even more.
Georgia smirked. "Stop the car. I can't stand the smell of phony acts either, and I really don't like someone's arrogance. Who wants a ride in your damn car anyway?"
Hearing Georgia's sharp retort only fueled Louis's anger. "Georgia, don't go too far!" He thought, 'She was like a wild horse now, completely out of control now.'
"If it weren't for Gemma pleading your case, do you think I'd have bothered to save you?" Louis made up an excuse to save himself from awkwardness.
"Well, I really appreciate that. Stop the car!" Georgia said.
Screech! Instead of stopping, the car suddenly turned around.
Before Georgia could react, the car had arrived at the Kirkland family mansion. "Gemma, go inside," he demanded.
Facing this, Gemma was utterly shocked. 'He dropped me off first just to be alone with Georgia?' she mused.
Knowing Louis's decisive nature, she swallowed her intense resentment and got out of the car without complaint.
The moment her feet touched the pavement, Louis's car roared away. Watching it disappear with venomous eyes, Gemma pulled out her phone.
And she dialed Noelle. "What the hell happened? I paid big money for those thugs. Why did they just let Georgia go?"
Noelle, confused by the scolding, stammered, "W-who would've thought Mr. Rathbone would show up out of nowhere? It was totally unexpected."
Gemma's fury flared again. She hadn't expected Louis to risk himself for Georgia either. Thinking of him driving off with Georgia, she spat, "What about the online trolls?"
"Miss Kirkland, don't worry about the trolls. They're professionals. Georgia's already being torn to shreds online—it's disgusting," Noelle answered.
Gemma smirked, "Good. This time, I'll enjoy watching her get crushed. Any movement from the Finals committee?"
At Gemma's words, Noelle frowned instantly. "Weird enough, there's been nothing so far."
Previous national competitions usually acted swiftly on plagiarism issues. But this time, with the online storm and hospital pressure, the committee's silence was unnerving.
Noelle, a little nervous, asked, "Could Georgia have a stronger background?"
"No way. Three years ago, all she had was the Murray Group. Without it, she's nothing. That's why we broke her so easily back then," Gemma said.
While listening to Gemma's analysis, Noelle clicked open her email inbox. "You're probably right," she replied casually.
Then, as she saw the emails, she was suddenly overjoyed. There, she saw two offers sent at the same time. She hung up on Gemma in excitement.
Prestigious hospitals in Romaen and Meridan were both offering her positions—international appointments she'd never dared dream of.
Online, her fame had risen sharply since she'd signed with the pen name Georgie. Noelle hadn't imagined the name would bring such fortune.
After the finals, she would become Cedric's disciple. By then, she would leave Journ for the international stage. She thought, 'Gemma, Frank, Edmond—all of them would be erased from my life.'
Closing the emails, Noelle's eyes gleamed with contempt. 'Cedric's mentorship meant a dazzling future. Opportunities would flood in,' she mused.
Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a text from the Finals committee. 'Finally! It must be news that Georgia had been kicked out.'
She opened it: [Please be informed that the National Nursing and Medicine Championship Finals, hosted by the National Health Authority on November 8, 2021, will feature Cedric Benneth as Chief Judge.]
Noelle shot to her feet. 'How could this happen so suddenly?' She hurriedly called Gemma back, panicking.
Gemma, initially furious about the earlier hang-up, smirked at the news about Cedric. "Don't panic. Cedric must be coming for you.
"Think about this—years ago, Cedric said she wanted to take Georgie as a student. Now the whole world knows you're Georgie.
"Plus, you're competing tomorrow. Who else would she show up out of the blue for? Tomorrow's the big day. Win first place, no matter what. Got it?"
Noelle still wasn't reassured. "I'll give it everything, but keep the trolls hammering online and at the hospital."
"Tomorrow, no matter what, Georgia can't be there," Noelle added. The thought of Georgia not being kicked out terrified her.
"Fine. Focus on the finals. I'll handle the rest." Hanging up, Gemma finally walked into the Kirkland mansion wearing a triumphant smile.
Within the hour, major websites, medical forums, and Saylor Hospital's platforms were swamped by Gemma's trolls. The abuse aimed at Georgia was even worse than three years ago.
A wave of accusations and insults crashed. Everyone pressured the committee, demanding that Georgia be kicked out of the competition and from medicine for good.
Even Saylor Hospital faced backlash when Georgia's past as a ward aide there was dug up and exposed.
