Chapter 1 Intrusion of a strange man
“Marry? !”
Claire Bennett is shocked and stares at the middle-aged woman wearing a luxurious cheongsam in front of her, her stepmother, Jade Bennett!
“Right!” Jade Patton says. “It’s your father’s opinion that you are not a young girl, and it’s time to get married!”
"Let me get married? I am just 20 years old this year! " Claire Bennett roars. She doesn't expect that her stepmother gives her such an unacceptable "generous gift" when she just arrives home.
What's she plotting for?
Claire Bennett sneers, "Then you tell me, what kind of person did my dad find to be my husband? Or I should say, what kind of husband did you find for me? ”
Jade Patton chuckles: "I can tell you that your fiance is Leo Howard, the president of Orient International Group! It is your pleasure to marry Mr. Howard who comes from the Howard family. Your father has been planning this marriage for a long time, so you have to cherish this opportunity! ”
Jade Patton will never give her such a good marriage. I'm afraid there’s a pitfall in it
"No matter who he is, I will not marry him!"
"Your father is the first person who will not agree with your decision! You have to know that it’s not up to you about marrying such a noble family as the Howard family. The consequences of regretting marriage are something you can't afford! ”
"Well, I will talk to my dad, and I believe he will support me!" Claire is going to leave here after she finishes speaking.
"Your father is receiving treatment now and should not be disturbed. Besides, you know that your father's physical condition is not as good as before. If you are filial, don't make your father angry, so that he can recover soon. But if he gets angry and his condition gets worsen because you refuse to marry. don't blame me for not reminding you!"
"Are you threatening me?" Claire Bennett asked angrily.

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....
