While the drama unfolded, bystanders couldn’t help. but sympathize with Nina. Being just a secretary, her authority paled in comparison to the vice president’s, so trouble was inevitable for her! Soon enough, the vice president, distressed for his niece, hurried over with Mabel, demanding answers, “Who, who dared to bully my dear niece?”

Mabel pointed at Nina in the pantry, “It’s her, she hit me, Uncle. No one has ever hit me from childhood till now!”

Paris, watching from the sidelines, played the role of the pitiful good person, “Mr. Green, I’m truly sorry. I couldn’t take care of Mabel properly. My influence in this office is just too limited.”

Her words also implied to the vice president that she and Nina were on equal footing, but she was being unfairly oppressed.

Nina was too audacious in this office.

The vice president had long heard about Nina’s bad reputation, but since she was close to Mr. York, he hadn’t intervened. Now that it affected his family, he wouldn’t let it slide, “Nina, you, a mere secretary, dare to hit my niece. Do you think Mr. York will protect you? With a word from me, you’ll be out of York Corporation!”

The vice president had been with York Corporation longer than Nina. They were not in the same

department, so they rarely crossed paths except during company events.

Nina was a principled person; she didn’t tolerate baseless accusations, but neither did she turn a

blind eye to the truth, as long as it didn’t cross her bottom line.

No matter how furious the vice president was, Nina had her own stance, “Mr. Green, I understand Mabel is your niece, and you should love and cherish her, but we must also distinguish right from wrong. If she doesn’t heed others’ advice and spreads rumors about me everywhere, causing trouble, then we must deal with it accordingly. There are consequences for one’s actions. You can’t just indulge her.” “You are out of control! You show no remorse and dare to lecture me? Today, I’ll teach you a lesson and see how tough you really are!” the vice president said angrily. “Someone, grab Nina for me. Let’s see how long she can keep up her tough talk!”

The people in the office dared not move. Even though Mr. Green held great power, they didn’t dare to easily act against Nina.

Seeing this, Mr. Green’s expression turned cold, “What’s this? Can’t you guys follow my instructions?

Paris seized the opportunity and immediately

declared, “I’ll do it! Hand Nina over to me!”

Her people grabbed hold of Nina. She struggled, but they easily subdued her, making her feel like a

criminal.

“This is a workplace, not the Green family. By indulging her, making her believe everything she says and does is right, and backing her up at every turn, you’re harming her!” Nina continued to protest.

“It’s not your turn to speak!” Mr. Green’s eyes turned icy; his demeanor lofty. “You hit my niece, which is like hitting me. Slap her until she admits her mistake!”

This was exactly what Paris wanted, finally a chance to take action against Nina.

Standing in front of Nina, seeing her stubborn refusal to yield, Paris gripped her chin, her well- manicured nails almost digging into her flesh.

Nina winced in pain.

Paris spoke coldly, “Nina, you’ve finally fallen into my hands. Let’s see how you can escape this time!”

She rolled up her sleeves, intending to bruise Nina’s charming face.

Once she lost her looks, she would naturally lose Nash’s affection. Then, when she was kicked out of York Corporation and couldn’t find a job, she’d be no different from a beggar. Just thinking about it made Paris very happy.

As she reached out to strike, a voice filled with authority and indifference came from outside, “Try laying a finger on her and see what happens!”
