I tilted my head slightly and looked at her, asking her back, “If you really believe I have strong connections, do you think your petty tricks will work on me?”
She laughed coldly, saying, “Girl, you’re so naive.”
“Do you know what people in this world fear most? Public opinion!”
“If your reputation gets ruined, do you really think your connections will still protect you? If things get ugly, they’ll abandon you without hesitation.”
“So, my advice? Don’t aim too high. Be a mistress, make some easy money and don’t fight over things that don’t belong to you.”
I raised my eyebrows, asking, “I heard that two capable young women suddenly resigned from the company not long ago. I guess you were the one who forced them out, too?”
Veronica didn’t look guilty at all. Instead, she smiled proudly.
“You’re quite clever.”
“You know, people still call them mistresses now. They can’t even find new jobs!”
“So, are they really mistresses?” I asked calmly.
“So what if they are? So what if they aren’t?” she said with a smirk.
“Their names are already ruined anyway.”
“If you don’t want to end up like them, you should leave while you still can.”
