“You guys just don’t get it, do you? Nina’s aiming to climb the social ladder. She’s Mr. York’s
secretary, but she can’t secure the role of his official wife. Over the years, she’s probably considered finding another route. Banking on her looks, she’s aiming to become Mr. Lincoln’s lover. Perhaps she couldn’t even pull that off, so she went ahead and falsely accused Mr. Lincoln of rape, ruining him in the process. He could even wind up behind bars!”
“I always thought Nina was so kind, but it turns out she’s quite cunning. Just look at how she’s made Mr. Lincoln suffer. It’s no surprise she’s always hovering around Mr. York; she’s probably schemed her way into that position!”
“Hmph, you guys are just realizing Nina isn’t as simple as she seems? I figured that out long ago. Look around-among the company’s early
employees, who isn’t more capable than Nina? Our manager, Paris, has the skills and experience, far exceeding Nina’s. But just because Nina relies on her flirtatious charm to seduce Mr. York, she’s got the upper hand! Now she’s reaping what she sowed, trying to manipulate her way to the top but ending up getting burned…”
There was a “bang” as Nina emerged from the restroom, appearing right behind them.
The few employees were busy touching up their makeup. When they saw Nina, they were startled,

their lipstick smeared.
“Nina!” Those who had been listening to others. gossiping stood up straight, addressing her with respect.
Only the person who spread rumors arrogantly lifted her head, disdainfully glancing at Nina, still not satisfied after speaking ill of Nina.
She was a subordinate of Paris, named Mabel Green.
With some connections at home, she was brought into York Corporation just as she was starting out.
Paris had worked her way up from the bottom, understanding the importance of weighing the pros and cons. She recognized Mabel’s advantageous family background and had taken her under her wing. There wasn’t much emotion on Nina’s face, nor did she blame them, as she washed her hands on the side.
They couldn’t discern Nina’s emotions, feeling quite nervous inside.
Only Mabel felt that Nina was intimidated, crossing her arms and arrogantly saying, “Some people are just good at pretending. If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself!”
Nina finished washing her hands, wiped them clean with a tissue, then turned to look at Mabel with a smile, saying, “Are you talking to me?”
Mabel stood her ground, saying confidently, “What are you pretending for? Everyone in the company

knows about your shameful acts. If I were you, I’d be ashamed and resign immediately.”
Nina asked, “What shameful acts? Who’s spreading rumors again?”
“Do we even need to spread rumors? People have seen it themselves! You’re out there with drinks, cozying up to several men!” Mabel, showing no restraint in her manners or words, felt a sense of pride. “Your current position is all thanks to playing the flirt, isn’t it? Instead of relying on your skills, you’re using your body to get ahead. It’s utterly disgusting…”
A slap echoed.
Without saying a word, Nina slapped her directly.
The onlookers were all taken aback and terrified.
Mabel hadn’t expected her to strike, remaining stunned for several seconds before glaring, “You dare hit me? Even my parents have never hit me,” and you dare hit me?”
“What’s wrong with hitting you?” Nina’s expression turned icy, “You’re allowed to
maliciously slander, but I’m not allowed to defend myself? If you continue to defame me behind my back, it won’t be as simple as hitting you. I’ll sue you and let you know that your filthy words can land you in jail!”
Mabel’s eyes flared with anger, nearly stomping her foot in frustration.” Who do you think you are, Nina? You’re just a despicable person…”

She attempted to strike Nina.
But Wen Ni was prepared, seizing her hand and then delivering a slap to the other side of he
