The hoodlum leader retreats with satisfaction. He says viciously, “little bitch, stop swearing.”
“You have a good make-up.” Emma approaches Claire with a sad face. She touches Claire’s swollen cheek with her hand. She says in a sympathetic tone, “you were right just now. You will die today. It’s up to you to be disgusted and die or to be killed.”
She raises her hand to give Claire a slap. If she slaps Claire, Claire’s cheeks will bleed.
Claire closes her eyes but Emma doesn’t slap her. She raises her hand and rubs her hair. She smiles at Claire with that disgusting face. “It’s OK. I will not you. I will hurt.”
“Hit her.”
“OK.” The hoodlum leader whistles, and the next second, several hoodlums rush in from the door.
They look at Claire lewdly. Their eyes are like those of beasts when they prey. It’s creepy.
Claire hears the hoodlum leader’s lewd words, “I heard you have a baby in your stomach. My brothers are here to serve you tonight. They will kill your baby first and then you.”
They are all laughing when he finishes. Emma’s treacherous laughter is the most harsh.
Even a fool knows what’s going to happen!
Claire can’t help shivering.
Is this what human beings should do? How insane Emma is to do such a thing!
Claire stares at Emma’s face which is distorted by her over excitement. She doesn’t really know Emma until today.
She has no humanity!
Several hoodlums are approaching, and they are about to put their hands on Claire. At the critical moment, Claire shouts, “wait!”
Hearing this, Emma waves her hand. The hoodlums spit and shout, “bitch, hurry up. Don’t let us down.”
But they don’t dare to disobey Emma’s orders and back away.
Emma raises her hand and looks at her fingernails. She doesn’t look at Claire and says arrogantly, “what do you want to say to me?”
At the moment she is very arrogant because she has the final say.
Claire stares at Emma. She sees through her vanity and disgusting desire. She says, “you want to be Leo’s wife. I’ll give it to you. As long as you let me go, I will divorce Leo immediately.”
“Let you go? Ha-ha. Did you hear what she said?” Emma pretends to be very surprised. She stares and laughs, “Claire! I don’t just want to be Leo’s wife right now. I want you to die! You can’t live until tomorrow!”
Her heavily made up face suddenly becomes extremely twisted and ferocious. She’s like a grumpy ghost. She stares at Claire with a vicious look and orders a couple of hoodlums next to her, “hit her hard. I want to hear her scream. I want her to kneel down and beg me!”

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....
