“Oh?” Luke sits up straight and puts the document bag on the table. He looks at Leo curiously and says, “don’t you always want to know who the little wild cat is? Why don’t you want to know now? It’s not your style.”
Leo glances at Luke and shakes his head. “I owe Claire too much now. I don’t want another woman. No matter who the little wild cat was that day, I don’t care. I just want Claire now.”
Thinking of his insults and torments to Claire, Leo regrets it. It turns out that he misunderstood her all the time. When she is desperate and even wants to die, he suddenly finds out that he doesn’t want to lose her!
Hearing this, Luke is deeply shocked. He looks at Leo in disbelief and murmurs, “Leo, you really have changed. You have become so affectionate and righteous. I don’t even know you.”
Leo puts on a charming smile and says scornfully, “no matter how I change, I’m still me. I’m your best buddy. Don’t you admit it?”
Luke can’ help laughing when he hears Leo. He looks at Leo, who suddenly matures, and says, “Leo, you’re really in love with Claire.”
“...” Leo nods in silence as an answer.
He didn’t cherish her before. Now Claire’s heart is broken, but he’s becoming more and more inseparable from her.
Thinking of this, Leo sighs, “we don’t often eat together. We need to have a good time tonight. We are going to the bar later.”
“No.” Luke waves. He raises the document bag again and says with a smile, “don’t you really want to know who the little wild cat is?”
Leo frowns. Just when he wants to say no, Luke suddenly opens the document bag and hands the documents inside to Leo.
Leo looks at a picture of Claire in a red dress. In the picture, she is mature, attractive and beautiful.
Seeing Leo attracted by Claire’s picture, Luke raises his chin and says softly, “you’d better take a look first. I promise you won’t regret it.”
Leo reads the document. To Leo’s surprise, the more he reads, the more shocked he is!
There is a picture of the little wild cat’s back in those documents. Leo continues to read and finds another photo below!
This picture shows a fat man. Obviously he is the man who wanted to rape Claire that night. This picture is taken by the monitor and it is exactly the same angle as the little wild cat.
Ray in the picture is at the door of the little wild cat’s room. He can see Ray in the picture is about to knock on the door.
Leo doesn’t understand when he sees this, but when he continues to read, he is completely stunned.
According to the document, Ray claimed that he was the guest of the room at that time. However, the staff confirmed that the guest of the room was not the man, but a woman named Claire!
Claire!

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....
