“It’s impossible.” Leo vetoes directly, “if that’s the case, how could Emma know about the jade pendant, and how could the killer say that he was sent by Bryce?”
“If it’s true, Emma was sent by Bryce. But it doesn’t make sense at all. Why is she so bad for Claire?”
“I...” Luke is silent.
Leo doesn’t realize what he said just now shows that he knows Emma has been bullying Claire. It’s just that he doesn’t find out.
Luke is meditating and doesn’t find the meaning in Leo’s words.
“Anyway, you let him go. Luke, even if we’ve been friends for more than ten years, you have to give me an account.” Leo looks at Luke in a domineering position with deep eyes.
After a long silence, Luke looks up at Leo and says confidently, “Leo, don’t worry, I will find the evidence for you.”
“Then I’ll wait for your good news. Otherwise...” Leo gives Luke a meaningful look. Next second, he seems to think of something important. He says with a cold face, “I hope you can stay away from that slut in the future. She is not a good woman and is not worth your approach.”
Luke is silent.
...
With Juan’s help, Leo believes that Bryce is behind the killer. Emma is in a good mood because Leo has starts to love her again.
One day, Emma is cutting fruit for Leo. Her cell phone suddenly rings. Emma inadvertently glances at the screen. When she sees the name, she suddenly becomes nervous. She picks up her cell phone and hurries to the garden.
“Juan, why are you calling me?” Emma looks around the garden for fear of being found.
Juan’s voice is low and magnetic. He immediately says, “Luke now suspects you and investigates you. Be careful, and let’s not get in touch for the time being.”
He hangs up before Emma responds. Emma is terrified. She wants to keep talking to him, but she can only hear busy tone.
Emma stands with her cell phone. She is at a loss. Does Luke doubt her? Why? They’ve found Bryce. Why does he doubt her?
Does that mean Leo knows too!
“Emma, who are you calling?” A low laugh comes from behind. Emma is so scared that her cell phone falls to the ground.
Luke looks at the cell phone on the ground. He smiles mysteriously. “What are you afraid of? As long as you don’t do anything bad, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking at the door in the middle of the night.”
“You...”
Emma is calm. She must not expose herself. The next second she smiles innocently and slowly picks up her cell phone from the ground. “Luke, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. I just come out for a walk and meet you.”

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....
