She Tried to Slander Me to Be with My Nephew, but I was His Aunt

It only took me one year to become the company's top salesperson.

Samantha Black was very jealous of me and started spreading lies in front of everyone.

She confronted me, showing a sarcastic smile, as she said in an accusing tone, "Listen, Daphne. You only became the top salesperson because you slept with some old man. What's there to be proud of?"

After that, she continued loudly, "I’m not going to fight you for the sales manager position anyway. I’m about to get engaged to Mr. Nathan Browne soon."

"Even if your sales are better than mine, so what? As long as you still work for Browne Corporation, you’ll have to work under me in the end!"

Everyone around us flattered Samantha. All of them treated her as if she was already the future wife of the company’s CEO. However, I secretly felt upset and complained in my heart.

It was so unfortunate that my nephew happened to have an extremely bad taste in women. As Nathan’s aunt, I never liked Samantha. So, I didn’t believe that Nathan would really dare to get engaged to her.

Nevertheless, the company’s annual meeting was only a few days away. Two months ago, the sales manager had retired. Thus, the position had been left open since then.

The company's executives had a meeting earlier. From the meeting, it was decided that they would announce the new sales manager at the annual event. Everyone in the company knew that the new sales manager would be chosen either between Samantha or me.

After all, we were both the company’s top salespeople and had very good performance.

One day, after I finished signing another big deal, I came back to the office. I saw Samantha laughing and chatting loudly with other employees. When she saw me, she glanced over with a look full of jealousy and hate.

She then said arrogantly to the crowd, "I don't even care about the sales manager position!"

"Unlike some people who use their bodies to earn business. I wonder how many rich old men she has slept with already. It’s so disgusting!"

Many people saw me walking into the office. Someone even tried to wink at Samantha to warn her that I was here. Yet, Samantha ignored them.

She turned to look at me and said loudly, full of sarcasm, "Oh, isn’t this our new top salesperson, Miss Daphne Browne?"

"I heard you signed another big deal today. That’s really amazing!"

Anyone who wasn’t a fool could hear the strange and mocking tone in her voice.

Still, I didn’t bother arguing with her. Instead, I just walked straight to my desk as I was ready to pack up my things to go back to the Browne Family's old mansion.

Unfortunately for me, Samantha wasn’t happy that I ignored her.

She squinted her eyes at me and sneered as she made another sarcastic remark, "Daphne, don’t think you’re so great just because you became a top salesperson like me!"

"Other people might not know the truth about you, but I’ve heard many dirty secrets!"

"You only got those big deals because you slept with rich old men. Otherwise, how could you become a top salesperson in just one year? What’s there to be proud of?"

"Many of the people here have been working much longer than you. None of them needed to sell their bodies like you did!"

"Don't worry about it, though! I won’t compete with you for the sales manager position."

"You should stop thinking all day about how to please those rich old men."

"After the company's annual meeting, I will be engaged to Nathan anyway."

"Even if your sales are great, what difference does it make?"

"As long as you work for Browne Corporation, you will have to work for me, the CEO’s wife. I hope you can create a lot of profits for the company."

After Samantha finished speaking, her group of followers all laughed loudly. Trying to make her happy, they started mocking me too.

One of them said, "Daphne, Samantha is different from you. She is destined to become the CEO’s wife."

Another added, "People have different fates. You shouldn’t even think about competing with Samantha. You’re not even good enough to be able to match her!"
