Noelle forced herself to stay calm and replied, "Yes, I am Georgie."
At her words, Cedric's eyes darkened again. "Did you come up with the Art of 72 Needles all by yourself?"
"Y-yes, that's correct. I created it on my own," Noelle replied, her voice trembling.
"Oh? When did you create it?"
"Th-three years ago."
"Did anyone help you or discuss it with you?"
"N-No, it was all my own work."
"Who can verify it was your original creation?"
Only then did Noelle's tense heart ease a little—this question was way too easy to answer for her.
She said, "The National Top Doctors ranking champion, Dr. Gemma Kirkland, and all my colleagues at Saylor Hospital can confirm I developed it during my personal time."
Cedric's voice turned icy. "That is precisely why I gave you zero. You are lying."
"What?" The arena erupted once more. Cedric's words detonated like a bomb, leaving everyone stunned.
"He's saying Miss Faulkner isn't Georgie?" someone said in shock.
"But she verified the name! Saylor confirmed it officially," another echoed.
Panic seized Noelle. She never thought Cedric would be so certain she wasn't Georgie. 'Stay calm. You must calm down now,' Noelle kept telling herself.
"Dr. Benneth, there must be a mistake. I only verified it because someone tried to steal my pen name. Miss Kirkland and Saylor can assure that," Noelle explained.
Ignoring her flimsy defense, Cedric signaled to the backstage crew. Instantly, the large screen on the stage changed.
The video showed a younger, slightly awkward Georgia in a lab, meticulously studying acupuncture points on a model.
She frowned after placing a needle. "Mrs. Benneth, after 70 needles, still feels incomplete. Could there be an acupoint to accepting three needles at the same time?"
"Traditional Medicine has no documented point for three needles. Perhaps focus on dual-needle points?" a voice off-screen suggested.
Cedric walked into the frame. "Alright, I'll check again. But I've studied them all—some acupoints truly only accept one needle."
"Georgia, don't listen to him. He pesters me daily to let him apprentice under you," a third voice chimed in. An elegant old lady in a dress appeared on screen—Amelia Benneth.
"Exactly, Georgia. Take me as your student?" Cedric immediately added.
Amelia swatted his arm playfully. "After two more years of study, maybe you'll qualify to ask her. Trust me on this."
The next full twenty minutes showed nothing but videos of Amelia—Cedric's mother—and Georgia discussing and practicing the Art of 72 Needles.
When the video ended, Noelle's face was deathly pale. Her trembling body leaned on the table in front of her for support. At that moment, only one thing filled her mind: 'Finished. It's all over.'
