Mabel had no chance to resist, her face flushed red as she screamed in agony. She had never
experienced such humiliation before, and she was absolutely livid!Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Nina spoke icily, "If I hadn't hit you, you wouldn't even know how to survive at York Corporation."
"Nina, who do you think you are to lay hands on me?"
The commotion attracted a crowd, and when Paris rushed over, she found her subordinate being slapped by Nina. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she pulled them apart.
Nina's action of slapping her subordinate was akin to slapping Paris's own face.
Seeing help arrive, Mabel burst into tears, "Paris!"
She ran to Paris, covering her face, "She hit me, it's too much!"
Paris pulled Mabel behind her, seething with anger. "You've completely lost your mind, becoming more arrogant by the day. Do you think York Corporation belongs to your family, that everyone should listen. to you? And hitting someone, completely disregarding me!"
Nina felt her hand stinging from the impact and shook it. "If you believe she's your responsibility, then manage her properly. Don't let her come out

here spreading rumors. That's your role. If she hadn't messed up, why would I have hit her?"
"Who's spreading rumors? Is she talking nonsense? She's telling the truth! Doesn't everyone in the company know about your scandals?" Paris retorted arrogantly. "You've only risen to your position by using such means!"
"So that's where all the gossip is coming from- your mouth," Nina responded calmly.
The type of boss would determine the corresponding type of subordinate. Fabricated stories coming from Paris's mouth were solely aimed at tarnishing her reputation. Over the years, there had been some rumors, but they hadn't affected her life much; she had brushed them off. But this time was different-it had escalated to personal attacks.
Paris naturally wouldn't admit it. "Nina, stop spreading falsehoods. Even if I don't say it, others will. This isn't a reason for you to hit Mabel. You'd better apologize to her, and this matter will be settled. If you don't apologize, it's not over!"
With so many people watching, Paris couldn't just let it go. She wanted others to know that she, Paris, wasn't afraid of Nina. Moreover, what Nina did was akin to slapping Paris's own face. "Watch what you say," Nina remarked, looking at them coldly. "I won't apologize!"
"Nina, you will pay for your actions today!" Paris, held Mabel's hand, taking her family background

into account. "Have you even bothered to find out what the Mabel's family does? Can you afford to offend them? Offend her, and you'll lose your job. Let's see how you can survive in this industry!" Mabel grumbled, "I'll go tell my uncle, Nina, you're done for!"
With that, Mabel stormed out of the restroom.
Mabel's uncle was the company's vice president and wielded considerable power. If he wanted to fire someone, it was as simple as that. In this office, there were several secretaries, and Nina was just one of them. She offended the vice president's niece, which, according to social norms, would typically lead to dismissal.
Nash, out of respect for the vice president, would likely turn a blind eye as well.
Paris had probed into Mabel's background long ago, which was why she had groomed her and had spoken ill of Nina in her presence. She only gossiped behind Nina's back, spreading rumors.
Employees in the office avoided confronting Nina; they were aware of her numerous scandals and were hesitant to speak out. Mabel, as a newcomer, was bold and outspoken, often inadvertently stirring up conflicts that Nina would catch wind of.
By offending Mabel and acting so arrogantly, Nina was setting herself up for a harsh punishment.
This was Paris's ultimate goal. She wanted Nina to be unable to continue in the industry, thus
alleviating years of suppression.
