"First, the staff of the company is not united. They bully the weak and spread rumors. Second, the company does not care enough about us, which leads to great disappointment among the employees." Seeing this, Horace carefully reflected on his policies in the company. That was true. He did not care enough for the people who work for him.

But as for the rest of it, how could he know all the details that happened in the company?

Horace continued to read and found that what this employee said was harsh, but it was the truth.

"Now that we have found something suspicious, let's start to check it out." Clara looked at him.

"Dad, which department is this person from?" Neo asked Horace.

"Marketing Department," Horace answered, and then looked at Neo back. What was in this boy's mind? He wondered.

Neo took out the files from the marketing department and found the page of this guy. He looks simple and honest, and apparently, he seemed to come from an average family.

"Dad, do you think this person is the one they often bully?" Neo guessed, but he was not sure. After all, he was still in kindergarten!

Horace looked at the personnel file in front of him, and Peter Jenkins was his name.

Horace had not heard of this person before. Of course, it's normal.

"Then we'll ask the marketing department." Horace planned to take Neo with him.

Clara stayed in the office, waiting for them to return. She was happy that their little boy could help his dad at such a young age. Horace really thought Neo could help. Because he was very smart and sensitive, he could see things that adults could not.

"Everyone, please stop for a moment. I would like to ask something. Is Peter Jenkins here with us?" Horace asked and then he got a negative answer. The manager told him that this man had already all packed and left.

The staff was all very excited because it was very rare for Horace to get out of his office and talk to them face to face. Some of the girls were already guessing that the kid next to him might be his son. "What do you think of Peter Jenkins?" Horace asked and started to observe their expression of them.

"Peter Jenkins..." Everyone seemed unwilling to talk about this person.

Nobody liked him when he was here. Now he had left, why would the boss care?

As they were guessing in their mind, they did not say anything. Sure, the company was not in its best condition these days, but Horace still had his authority and control over this place. "Go ahead," Horace added as he knew they were hesitating for a reason.

"Don't worry, I won't judge. I just wanted to know our former colleagues better to improve our work environment."

That was easy for him to say. They thought. It was not an easy thing to badmouth one's former colleague.

After a long silence, some of them started talking.

"Peter was not really contributing anything to the marketing department."

"He was a little bit strange. We don't really like to talk to him..."

"It seems that he had some problems with his way of thinking."

Nobody liked him, but still nothing seemed suspicious. It sounded like this was just a regular guy with bad social and working skills.

But what was strange was that since he needed money, why would he leave as soon as the company got problems? His salaries and bonuses were paid on time.

Since he dared to leave so confidently without submitting his resignation to the personnel department, it proved that he must have found another better-paid job.

"Isaac, dig deeper on Peter Jenkins." As soon as Horace came into the office, he told Isaac to investigate him.

"Yes," Isaac answered and left quickly.

"How's it going?" Clara asked Horace if they had any new replaceings in the marketing department.

"We found a POI called Peter Jenkins. We'll know soon." Horace had this instinct that there must be more about this guy than it seemed.

"Let's go home and wait for Isaac's result."

Horace looked at the sky. It was already dark. Clara and Neo had been working with him for too long. It was time to rest. The protesters all went home for dinner now, and there were only some reporters left there, hoping to take photos of Horace and his family.

They managed to get away from them. Horace was not afraid of reporters, but he knew it was a bad time to speak anything in front of the media. Anything he said could be twisted.

"In fact, just now you should have said a few things to the reporters. Better feed them with the right thing rather than let them make up all those wild stories." Clara understood the news industry more than Horace did.

"It's all right. I want you and Neo to get home as soon as possible."

Horace had already asked the whole company to work as if nothing happened. He did not want speculations from the outside world.

All he could think of was going home with his family. He wanted them to have a good rest today.

Clara went through all of this with Horace, she knew that Horace was under great pressure. After getting home, the nanny cooked for the three. After they had dinner, they went to sleep. "How about it? Are you satisfied with the current effect?"

In the prison.

A man and a woman were talking, their voices filled with schadenfreude.

It was Laura and Sean.

"It's fine. I hope Horace's company will close down as soon as possible so that I could finally show myself." Laura touched the hair just done today with her hand. She was really happy to see Horace in trouble.

"It's good. If you've succeeded, you must tell me." Sean looked at Laura with a smile, and a trace of conspiracy flashed in his eyes.

"Sure I will." Laura squinted at Sean, and then arrogantly said, "once Horace married me, I will get you out. Trust me."

Although Sean was now in prison, he had really helped her a lot.

She couldn't think of such a smart plan herself, and she knew whom to thank.
