Chapter 1

The banquet hall sparkled with festive lights at the end of the year. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm, golden glow that made the table full of delicacies look even more tempting.The company’s annual dinner was in full swing. After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere grew even more lively.I had just set down my glass when Mr. Watson, the marketing department’s director, walked over with a drink in hand and patted me on the shoulder.“Maya Sweeney, you’ve really done the company a huge favor this year! So many companies were fighting tooth and nail to land that Sanscape Group project. Yet, you managed to crack that tough nut. You’re a force to be reckoned with!”No sooner had he finished speaking than leaders from several other departments chimed in, “That’s right, Maya. I heard that the project had been pending for nearly half a year without a deal, but you pulled it off! You’re amazing!”“The young ones like you really have that drive and know how to get things done. You’ll h

My expression darkened.“I’ve secured all my projects through fair means. If you don’t believe me, feel free to look into it. But there’s no way I’m apologizing to Nora!”After that, I turned to look at Nora as I seethed with anger.She had always used her position as manager to lord it over everyone in the office.I never expected her to set her sights on me this time.“Nora, you’d better think this through. Based on what you just said, I could easily sue you for defamation!”To my surprise, Nora looked incredibly aggrieved upon hearing this.“Maya, I really didn’t mean it. I just spoke offhandedly. How could you accuse me of spreading rumors?“I was just trying to help you avoid going down the wrong path. I didn’t expect you to get so upset.”I could not hold back any longer.“Nora, I’ve done nothing to you. What good does it do you to slander me?”Nora stammered, and she was unable to speak. The next second, tears streamed down her face.“I’m just straightforward. I just

I paused and swept my gaze over my colleagues who were blindly following the crowd. “And you lot, you haven’t even seen the full evidence. Yet, you’re casually accusing someone based on a single blurry, doctored screenshot. You’re trying to dismiss all of my hard work based on one screenshot?!”Mr. Watson’s expression was ashen as he stepped forward to stand in front of Nora. Pointing at me, he shouted angrily, “Maya, you’ve gone too far! Nora kindly warned you and even presented evidence. But instead of admitting your mistake, you’re here making a scene and slandering your colleague! Apologize to Nora right now, or else, this won’t end here!”Hearing this, I could not help but let out a cold laugh. “Based on a blurry screenshot with no context whatsoever, she dares to publicly slander me. She claimed I secured the project through underhanded means. You’re taking her side without even trying to figure out what really happened. Your bias is so obvious. Who doesn’t know you two are

Fievel’s calm voice soon came through the receiver. “Ms. Sweeney? What’s the matter? Is there anything else regarding the project that needs my attention at this late hour?”I looked at Nora, who was as pale as a sheet, and Mr. Watson, who was at a loss.“Mr. Zachry, it’s nothing serious. It’s just that at my company’s annual dinner, a colleague accused me of securing the Sanscape project through improper means. She’s demanding that I apologize to her and beg for forgiveness. Since this concerns the reputation of both our companies, perhaps you could say a few words to everyone?”Fievel paused for a moment on the other end of the line. Then, he immediately flew into a rage.“This is utterly preposterous! Sanscape Group belongs entirely to the Sweeney family. You’re their only daughter. What project wouldn’t be yours for the taking with just a word from you?”His voice coming through the phone’s receiver echoed clearly throughout the banquet hall. The glow of the crystal chandelier

Nora’s face was deathly pale. Her lips trembled, and her eyes were unfocused as she muttered repeatedly, “No... It can’t be... How could she be the heiress of Sanscape Group…? This can’t be…”Mr. Watson finally snapped out of it, and his face turned pale too. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his legs trembled slightly.He instinctively tried to step back, but a chair behind him blocked him. He looked like a complete mess.He stared at Nora with resentment, and he was clearly blaming her for causing such a huge problem.I hung up and put my phone away before walking slowly toward Nora.She instinctively shrank back as fear and panic filled her eyes. All traces of her earlier arrogance were gone.“Nora, do you have anything to say now?”My voice was calm, but it carried an undeniable authority.“You’ve claimed that I secured the project through underhanded means. Now that the truth has come to light, your so-called ‘evidence’ is nothing more than a farce you staged yourself

Clearly, Mr. Palmer was already aware of my identity.I nodded slightly.“Mr. Palmer, I trust the company will handle this matter fairly. The reason I’ve spoken up isn’t only to clear my name. I’d also like to make it clear to everyone that success in the workplace depends on ability and hard work, not on rumors, slander, or improper relationships.”Mr. Palmer nodded repeatedly.“You’re absolutely right, Ms. Sweeney. Our company has always advocated for a fair and just work environment. We absolutely will not tolerate such slander and malicious attacks.”He turned to look at Nora and Mr. Watson. Both of them were as pale as ghosts, and his tone instantly turned stern. “Nora, you maliciously spread rumors and slandered a colleague. You damaged her reputation and tarnished the company’s image. In accordance with company regulations, you are fired, effective immediately!”Nora’s legs gave way, and she nearly collapsed to the floor. She pleaded while crying, “Mr. Palmer, please giv

It also helped me to see the true colors of those around me. I realized who was genuinely kind to me and who was just putting on a show.When I got home, my parents already knew what had happened that evening.My mother took my hand with concern and kept reassuring me. “Maya, you must’ve been so upset. I told you not to work at that small company, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look, you’ve been bullied so badly.”“Mom, I’m fine.”I smiled and reassured her.“Although it was an unpleasant experience, I learned a lot from it. Besides, I’ve proven my capabilities, haven’t I?”My father sat beside me, and his expression was somber. “The people at that company have gone too far! How dare they treat my daughter this way?! Sanscape Group will never do business with them again!”I shook my head.“Dad, let’s drop it.“The matter’s been resolved. Nora and Mr. Watson have received the punishment they deserve. As for the partnership, let’s keep business and personal matters separate. W

The backstabbing in the workplace, along with human greed and jealousy, had left me feeling somewhat exhausted.However, I did not let this get me down.On the contrary, this experience only strengthened my resolve. No matter what environment I was in, I needed to stick to my principles and boundaries. I had to rely on my own abilities and hard work to achieve what I wanted.At the same time, I had to learn to protect myself and stand up bravely against malicious attacks.In the days that followed, I continued to work as diligently as ever, although my colleagues’ attitudes toward me had changed drastically. So many were going out of their way to curry favor and suck up to me. I maintained my distance and remained focused on my work.I knew that only by continuously improving my skills and delivering better results could I truly earn others’ respect.As for those who only flattered me because of my identity, their intentions were not genuine. The moment I lost my status, they
