The villa of the Howard family.
Luke is standing in the living room, his face clouds and he walks back and forth, his eyes filled with worry.
What is the matter? When Leo Howard goes downstairs, he sees his friend Luke and could not help asking.
Luke, looking at Leo Howard in front of him, pauses for a long time before he says, “What about Claire Bennett? If you send her to a place like that, she will be dangerous!”
Leo Howard frowns slightly, not surprised Luke knows about it, but smiles softly, “Well... if it were not unexpected, I am afraid she has already been bought.”
“Leo, she is your wife anyway... and there is never an end of taking revenge, she is innocent.” Luke frowns.
He doesn’t object to Leo Howard marrying Claire Bennett, he just doesn’t approve of the way he retaliates and hurts Claire Bennett for the last generation, especially now that he has sent Claire Bennett to the auction, and Luke cannot help her.
“Wife? Ha! That is just a reason for imprisoning and torturing her. She doesn’t even look like a slave to me!” Leo Howard says coldly, lighting a cigar and taking a swig.
“Leo, how can you...” Luke doesn’t even know how to persuade his friends.
“You do not think I really wanted to marry her, do you? It is just a contract. Do not forget, torturing her is my real purpose!” Amid the smoke, Leo Howard’s handsome face gleams, his eyes glints and his words contains a deep hatred, “I hate her mother, so I want revenge. I will slowly torture her!”
Leo Howard’s temper, what he had decided, is futile, and Luke, knowing he could not stop him, sighs, “Well, I do not care about you or her, but you better be nice to her.”

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....
