“What’s the matter?” Leo tries to express his dissatisfaction with Alyssa by making his tone as unpleasant as possible.
Alyssa seems to realize something. She says awkwardly, “I’m sorry to bother you. President Howard, please take a look at this.”
With that, Alyssa respectfully hands him some documents.
Leo glances at the two documents and finds that they are two resignations. He says, puzzled, “what is this?”
These are two unimportant positions, but why do they suddenly submit their resignation?
Alyssa still smiles and takes a look at Leo and slowly explains, “before you asked me to investigate who spread rumors in the company. This is the end result.”
Leo frowns and looks suspiciously at Alyssa and says, “you found them so quickly?”
It’s hard to find a rumor monger. Leo asked Alyssa to do it before, but he didn’t expect to get results so soon.
Leo believes Alyssa has the ability, but in a short time she finds several people hiding in the crowd. It’s amazing.
“Alyssa, I appreciate you, but I just gave you the task an hour or two ago. Did you really find the rumor monger?”
Leo takes a look at the two resignations. They are really just two ordinary employees. Even if they suddenly disappear in the company, no one will notice.
Leo slams the two resignations on the table and says coldly, “give me an explanation.”
Alyssa had little contact with Leo before. Two hours ago she thought Leo was a good-natured man because he discussed the change of position with her. Though it’s not true, Leo’s politeness means he’s good tempered.
But now Leo is angry.
Alyssa’s face is pale with fear and she is about to suffocate. Claire suddenly has a little sympathy for Alyssa who got the job on her own.
Alyssa is as strong as most girls without background, but she has to show her cowardice in front of Leo.
Claire taps Alyssa on the shoulder and signals her to relax. And then she says to Leo, “thank goodness I’m not your secretary. You are so terrible. She is a girl. You have to be gentle.”
Leo glances at Claire and thinks she is nosy, but he doesn’t talk. He wants to hear Alyssa explain.
Alyssa calms down and looks up and says, “President Howard, I don’t know if these two people are rumor mongers. I heard them chatting when you ordered, so I told them you wanted to see them.”
“And then?” Leo closes his eyes slightly.
“When I looked for them again, I only saw these two resignations. So I made it public. Although I didn’t find the real rumor mongers, they were threatened...”

The readers' comments on the novel: Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad
The storyline could have been better -- organization and cohesion of episodes could stand improvement, ending could have been more definitive resolving the many conflicts between the protagonists. Of course, the despicable treatment of Leo towards Claire initially, e.g., selling her off in an auction and giving her to the madam of the club as princess is inhuman and a violation to the wife's rights and honor. I was wondering why she did not leave after these maltreatments. Oh, well, the conclusion [if the narrative ends in Chapter 488] is quite disappointing and anti-climactic. Thank you just the same....
The end of the story is wanting, considering how the episodes build up to conflict after conflict and concluding in yet another conflict. But then c'est la vie! Thank you....
