Chapter 2214: Chapter 2220

“Thank you, Rhett,” Nicole expressed her gratitude, clutching the note in her hand.

“I’ll visit this organization to see if I can uncover anything.

”

Rhett harbored doubts about the efficacy of her visit but refrained from dampening Nicole’s spirits.

Handing Nicole a business card, he remarked, “The individual in charge there is a former classmate of mine.

You can inquire with him when you arrive.

”

“Thank you, Mr.

Bates,” Nicole said, acknowledging the advantage of having an insider to assist in gathering information.

Rhett was ever thorough and conscientious.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Nicole added, “I’ll increase your payment later for your extra time.

”

‘s BunnyBookery “There’s no need for that.

” Rhett then added, “We agreed on a fee, and I charge by the case, not by the hour.

”

Rhett reassured her further, “I owe a lot to Mr.

Dixon from the Dixon Group, and his wife personally requested that I take your case.

I’ve committed to seeing it through to the end.

Miss Lawrence, if any issues arise later on, just communicate with me.

”

Nicole nodded and expressed her thanks once more.

After they parted ways, she took a taxi to the forensic agency listed on the address she received from Rhett.

The building was imposing and serious, covered with posters promoting whistLeblowing.

“Report any collusion or bias among doctors or assistants anonymously to receive a substantial reward,” one poster read, highlighting the agency’s independence from nepotistic influences and its credibility as a judicially appointed professional institution.

Nicole wondered how Jarrod had managed to pass their screenings.

She met with Mr.

Castillo, an acquaintance of Rhett, to understand thoroughly the testing process.

“Miss Lawrence, each of our procedures is quintuple-checked to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

If someone tampers with the initial tests, they can’t fool the last three ones, which are anonymously rechecked by other facilities.

Falsifying results here is next to impossible,” Mr.

Castillo stated.

It was true that the result would be determined after several rounds of inspection.

“Mr.

Castillo, have there really been no issues over the years?”

Nicole inquired.

Mr.

Castillo frowned, disliking the implication.

As a man of integrity, he placed great trust in his workplace and disliked any negative implications about the agency.

“I’m sorry, Mr.

Castillo.

This place is my only hope.

I just want to learn more because my child is severely ill, and it’s making me very worried,” Nicole hastily added.

Mr.

Castillo’s demeanor softened when he learned of her situation, particularly because he too had become a father to a beautiful Little girl this year.

He empathized with parental worries, recognizing that mothers often felt the strain more acutely than fathers.

“In the past, there was a case where an employee manipulated test samples,” he explained more gently.

“The person involved had accepted bribes and acted independently.

Once discovered, they were sentenced to three years and fined heavily.

Since that incident, we have implemented stringent background checks on our employees to ensure they have no debts, no gambling habits, and uphold strong ethical standards.

”

He added, “Look at the numerous warning signs and awareness campaigns throughout our facility.

We have ensured our staff are well-compensated, reducing the likelihood of such risks.

”

Despite his assurances, Nicole retained her doubts.

She recognized Mr.

Castillo’s integrity but remained aware that not everyone might adhere to such high ethical standards.

With enough motivation, some might still succumb to temptation.

“Mr.

Castillo, could you provide me with a list of recent staff departures?” Nicole inquired.
