After a night of rest, Leo finally recovers his spirits, and he seems to be better. But even so, he still has a lot of business to work on in the next few days.
When Leo wakes up, Conan is still dozing off. It seems like that he wouldn't wake up until he fully recovers from resent work.
Leo walks quietly out of the bedroom and finds that Luke and Kate have prepared breakfast and waits for him.
"Howard, come here and have breakfast. You are going to be busy again." Luke greets and sets the breakfast on the table.
Leo watches Kate sitting next to Luke with a bit of envy. Some days before, his breakfast is prepared by Claire.
With a silent sigh, Leo forces himself to chew the breakfast. Although he has no appetite, he has to eat in order to deal with Juan.
"Conan is still sleeping?" Kate looks at the bedroom door, and says to Leo, "I'm afraid he'll work crazily just like before, it's really worrying."
Leo is grateful for Kate's efforts these days, he smiles and says, "Relax, I will come and visit often."
Luke is relieved to hear Leo say this, and he asks again, "Juan stops after the incident last night. What are you going to do now?"
"Stop? It is just temporary. The effect of arresting some of his men is not great. As for how I move next, it all depends on how Juan wants to play." Leo smiles wryly. The only thing he can do now is to wait for Juan to make a move.
He isn't afraid of Juan's inaction. To really get a woman, he will need to defeat another man. Leo understands Juan well, because they are very similar in this regard.
Luke nods. "If that's so, you can go back to the company today."
"What happen to the company?" Leo looks at Luke anxiously.
"No, no, although there has been a lot of public opinion pressure on the company recently because of your underworld identity, there is no substantial harm to the company without conclusive evidence." Luke drinks a large glass of milk after he finishes.
Leo knows Luke hasn't finished speaking and doesn't say a word.
Luke adds, "Actually, it is Claire's business. You know Juan appear in front of the media with a high profile of Claire. Now everyone in the company speaks evil about Claire, and the headlines of today's newspapers are also about Claire. It's very bad."
Luke finishes and hands this morning's newspaper to Leo. Leo just glances at it and knows what the newspaper is about.
All that say is that Claire is a woman who serves the second husband, and she has a dirty relationship with Leo and then follows Juan and so on. The words are not kind. They portray Claire as a slut.
After Leo sees that, it's so untrue if he is not angry. The current media does have the ability and technique to create the fake truth and attract everyone's attention. They do not care about the facts at all and blindly renders superficial phenomena.
Leo shuffles the newspaper into a ball and doesn't even want to eat breakfast.
"What are you going to do? Howard."
At the beginning, Luke doesn't plan to tell this to Leo, but he also feels that the media have gone too far, so he also wants to deal with this problem.
The public don't understand, but Howard and Luke know that Claire is under duress at all. If this does not happen, it would be too unfair to Claire.
"No matter where she is now, Claire is my woman, and I definitely don't allow anyone to insult her like that."
Leo stands up and says angrily, "I'm going to the company now."
He doesn't wait for Luke to go out after speaking, Luke tells Kate the key point of caring for Conan, and then hurries to follow up.
The problem needs to be solved, but Luke doesn't want Leo to do anything excessive at this critical juncture.
...
After the two arrive at the company, Leo goes directly to the office, and sends some helpers to find a few people who make up the nonsense, and fire them. Of course, they don't know what will happen to these fired people after leaving the company.
The entire company starts to panic. In fact, after the last secretary incident, people in the company does not dare to speak about Claire.
But now Claire betrays Leo. Leo himself hasn't come to the company for several days, so everyone is relaxed.
They don't expect Leo could be angry for a woman who betrays him. At this moment they have two speculations in their minds, either that Leo is too infatuated, or that Claire's technique to seduce a man has reach the top level.
In any case, the rumors in the company finally subsides, and Leo is not in the mood to explain more.
How to deal with the media is what Luke is most worried about.
"The media is not our own company, and they are the most sensitive department. Howard, wouldn't you solve it by means of the underworld?" Luke's throat twitches.
If they force the media to shut up, there will be more public opinion pressure, if there don't handle it well.
Leo feels a headache, but after a brief thinking, he still feels that this is the only way.
Luke says before Leo starts, "Why don't we just pay some money to shut them up, which is much easier to handle."
If Luke's approach to the problem is as soft as water, then Leo is as simple and rude as a flame.
Leo sneers, "Money? They insult my woman and still want to take my money. I have shown mercy for them since I don't kill them all."
Luke knows that Leo is really pissed, and could not help but sympathize with the newspapers.
"Don't go too far, it's best to converge during this time." Luke tries to convince Howard.
Leo closes his eyes and whispers, "It is them who provoked me first."
Luke sighs helplessly, knowing that Leo could no longer be convinced, so he just hopes Leo wouldn't set himself up into the trap.
Leo's approach to handle this matter is also seemingly simple, and he just makes a call to his subordinate. He doesn't even tell them how to do it, just let them "take good care of" the newspapers.
So two hours after Leo hung up the phone, the newspapers that have insulted Claire have an accident at the same time.
Some of them are on fire, and some of them suddenly declare bankrupt ...
Although the police are investigating, nothing is found.
Even if they know it is Leo's responsibility, they could only let it go.
Leo's means is also very effective, and soon newspapers on the market that has bad news about Claire are recycled as quickly as possible.
The old news is recycled, and no one dares to publish the news.
