Since the recording is played by Conan, Alyssa has been looking down and afraid to look up and see Leo's cold eyes.

"You are so bold."

Leo speaks, but he seems to be telling a common thing. If Alyssa doesn't know Leo's character, she might really think Leo is just saying she is bold.

But that's not the case. Leo is determined to investigate the people who spread the rumors about Claire. From his serious attitude, how can he not be angry?

"I..."

Alyssa has no excuse at all. The evidence is conclusive. Whatever she says is superfluous. The only thing she can do now is wait for Leo's trial.

But Leo is not in a hurry to punish Alyssa. He smiles and looks at Claire and says, "I said I'm going to teach you a lesson. Are you convinced now?"

Claire is convinced. Leo may want to teach her how to see through a person.

Claire is naive. She not only believed Alyssa, but also spoke for her in front of Leo and wanted to keep her position as secretary.

Claire is embarrassed, too. She keeps looking at Alyssa and frowning. Her eyes seem to ask Alyssa why. There is even sympathy in her eyes for Alyssa.

If Alyssa accepts Tracy's payment to do it, she may be short of money. Claire is still looking for an excuse to forgive Alyssa. Or Claire is afraid that Alyssa is so mean that Claire will lose face.

But Alyssa thinks her sympathetic eyes are mockery. Alyssa, who has been bowing, suddenly sneers.

Her voice seems to carry the cold wind from the north pole, which makes the atmosphere of the whole office seem strange.

Alyssa looks up and at Claire with desperate, hateful eyes, and she shrieks, "Claire, don't pretend to be good."

She pretends to be good?

Claire feels innocent. What is Alyssa talking about? She never did anything bad to Alyssa.

Even if Leo wanted to stop her being his secretary, Claire stopped him. Alyssa scolds her instead of being grateful.

Claire is still holding her emotions. She frowns and says unhappily, "what are you talking about? You did it wrong. Although I didn't want to punish you at first, the evidence is solid now. Do I have to think I didn't see it?"

She can't do that.

Alyssa sneers and there are countless tiny blood threads in her eyes.

"Leo's here so you're doing everything right. It seems that the rumor is right. You are really a bitch who is good at seducing men."

Alyssa says and stares at Claire's body. Her eyes are uncomfortable. Alyssa, in particular, is now mad. It's disgusting.

Claire really didn't expect her attitude to change so fast. Before, Alyssa was smart and young. After being exposed, she is depressed and suddenly becomes violent and vicious.

She's crazy.

Claire is used to Tracy's abuse, but when she is pointed at the nose and scolded by a girl she has admired before, she feels uncomfortable. She is pale with anger.

Conan hears Alyssa's abuse and doesn't speak. He just looks at Alyssa coldly. If he wants to make Alyssa miserable, he has countless ways.

Leo thinks so, but he can't stand it. He says coldly, "if you want to live in this world, you'd better shut up."

His voice seems to come from hell and it is terrible, so Alyssa's madness disappears immediately. Her body trembles violently and she seems possessed.

Leo looks at Claire and sighs, "you said at first that you didn't care. Now you're angry about it. Those rumors are too much. I'm more angry than you."

Claire doesn't want to investigate, but Tracy has a plot and the rumors make her uncomfortable. What's more, the person she appreciates is proved by Leo to be a traitor of the company.

Claire can't take care of it anyway.

"I'll listen to you."

Claire finds the source of the rumors but she isn't happy. She is even disappointed. She complains in her heart of her credulity.

Especially when she saw yesterday that the two people who resigned were friends with Alyssa, she should expose her, but she always trusted her.

If it isn't Leo, she might have been framed by Alyssa in the future.

Leo hears Claire and wants to deal with it. He smiles with satisfaction and says to Alyssa, "do you admit you are wrong?"

His tone is cold and no matter how Alyssa replies, she is afraid.

Alyssa bites her lips and doesn't seem to want to admit the mistake.

No one understands what she is thinking. She did something wrong. Shouldn't she obey Leo?

But Leo knows.

"You're jealous of Claire. You envy her for being beautiful and capable and being my girlfriend."

Alyssa is speechless and has no reason to contradict.

Because Leo is right.

Leo sneers and continues, "you think you have everything, but you don't have much. You're not as kind and thoughtful as Claire. In fact, you are nothing but envy."

He's hitting and even destroying Alyssa.

Leo's tone is only sarcastic and not furious, but his words hit Alyssa's soft spot.

For such a woman, Leo's punishment is even more painful than killing her.

Alyssa feels paralyzed. Under Leo's trample, she has no strength to hate Claire. She says with a wry smile, "yes, I'm jealous, so I accepted Tracy's reward."

That is to say, Alyssa is not just for money, which makes Claire feel more angry.
