Chapter 1224 Filled With Humiliation
As Ryan watched the woman on the bed slowly close her eyes, he finally kindly left her some ointment.
"This is to be applied to the wound. I've booked this room in the hotel, and here's the key card. You can stay for as
long as you like, but if you want to find Nicole, I suggest you wait three days. Your condition should stabilize by
then," Ryan uttered while standing by the bed.
He appeared neat and meticulous, showing no signs of the recent activities he had been involved in.
Evelyn, with a buzzing sound ringing in her ears, responded drowsily.
Ryan didn't say anything more. He thought that the taste of Evelyn just now was indeed satisfying.
After glancing at the woman curled up on the bed, he turned and left.
It wasn't until the sound of the door closing reached her ears that Evelyn gradually opened her eyes.
Though she was exhausted, sleep eluded her. She was haunted by the vivid images of what had just transpired
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtevery time she closed her eyes. She felt utterly ashamed of herself.
Never had she imagined that she would end up in a stranger's bed.
Evelyn turned her head and looked at the ointment on the bed. Despite the urge to throw it away immediately, the
dull ache in her lower body reminded her that she needed it.
Suppressing the humiliation welling up in her chest, she took her time reaching out for the ointment.
She tightly clenched it in her hand as a cold determination filled her eyes. Nicole Anderson, I won't let you get away
with this! All the humiliation I suffered today is because of you!
…
Meanwhile, on the other side, Nicole no longer had time to worry about Evelyn's situation.
She had started expanding the research center and conducted internal exams. Only less than 10 percent of the
people on the list managed to pass a few of the exams.
Nicole did not say much and immediately expelled those who couldn't pass.
As expected, those people stormed into her office. They were the ones who had paid to get in and were now
demanding a refund after being dismissed.
Nicole, who had anticipated this scenario, promptly presented the records of Gina collecting their money. "Gina
Feuer was the one who received your payments, not the research center. If you have any issues, take it up with
her."
Watching the commotion, she continued in a calm voice as her lips slowly curled into a smile, "Although the
research center is privately owned, its essence is to serve the country. If news of your bribery were to be exposed,
it wouldn't bode well for your future."
Faced with Nicole's threat, the few individuals immediately quietened down and behaved themselves.
"I have already filed a lawsuit against Gina. If any of you have any financial disputes with her, you should go ahead
and make an appeal," Nicole declared before turning around and leaving.
With the revelation of the bribery incident, the others dared not cause any further trouble. After all, Nicole had
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpresented concrete evidence, proving that the research center had not accepted their bribes, but rather, it was
Gina who had pocketed the money.
This whole situation would only bring them harm if it escalated any further.
After dismissing those individuals, Nicole swiftly began expanding her team. With the removal of the shady dealings,
the number of applicants skyrocketed, reaching nearly 5000 in no time.
These past few days, Nicole was like a spinning top. She couldn't even find a moment to catch her breath.
Fortunately, White had left a few reliable people. With their assistance, Nicole finally managed to take a breather.
However, after days of relentless work, Nicole had visibly lost weight as her once-plump face was now much
slimmer.
Concerned for her health, Colton insisted that she take a break.
Once the busy period passed and the written exams and interviews were concluded, Nicole finally felt a sense of
relief when the selection process for various positions came to an end.
After resolving the matter at the research center, it was now time to deal with the Yaels.
