“…”
Claire is just looking at them coldly. But when she sees Leo smile at Fiona, Claire suddenly feels sad. Her heart is like being stabbed with a knife, and then the knife slowly turns and pulls out.
Claire’s unhappiness and embarrassment are at the extreme. She is as unprepared as being slapped in the face in the public.
Good! They perform their love in front of her. Are they making fun of her and hating her?
She’s nosy. She is so bored that she is worried about whether Leo will faint in the room. She’s mean, so she’s here to watch them perform love in front of her!
It’s not Leo’s fault. It’s her fault!
Claire’s heart is cold. She can’t look at the two people at the door any more. She turns her face away and plans to leave the room without looking at them.
But when she passes them, Leo, who has been flirting with Fiona, seems to see her. He looks back in surprise and asks, “Claire, why are you leaving now? You haven’t explained to me why you are in my room. Did you put something dirty in my room?”
The consequences can be big or small.
When it is small, Claire just came to his room to get something and left. When it’s big, it’s likely that Claire put aphrodisiac in it!
Fiona’s first reaction is to turn around and despise Claire. Her eyes are full of contempt. “Is there any woman in the world who is shameless to this extent?”
They seem to slap Claire in the face with words.
Claire’s face turns cold. He looks at Leo and her eyes are cold and desperate. “I didn’t expect you to think I am such a terrible woman. If I had known that, I would have done what you said and lived up to you.”
Claire’s breath is frightfully cold, and what she says is even colder. Even Fiona is shocked by Claire’s words, and her back is cold.
However, Leo doesn’t seem to feel Claire’s cold attitude. He says casually, “well, you can get it for me now. Let me have a good night. I don’t mind if you bring it to me tomorrow. I can accept your appearance.”
Leo’s words are wild!
Claire is angry. Leo’s words are enough to make her lose her temper. If Fiona isn’t there, she wants to slap him and scold him for being shameless!
Even if Claire is angry, she tries to control her temper. She takes a deep breath and laughs.
Claire looks meaningfully at Leo and Fiona and suddenly smiles, “thank you, president. I don’t know how your fiancee Tracy will react if she knows you have a woman in City B.”
She doesn’t know if Claire will really tell Tracy about it. Fiona feels it is time to show her sincerity. Otherwise, Leo may be worried that his fiancee will find out about their affair and give up her.
They spend a day together. Fiona manages to maintain the relationship and makes Leo feel good about her. She can’t just give up the good man in front of her.
These thoughts flash through Fiona’s mind.
She is silent for a while and then looks up and says to Leo seriously, “Leo, I know what you’re worried about. My family is no worse than Tracy’s! Why don’t you break up with Tracy and stay with me?”
“In fact, to be honest, my father has approved the cooperation project for a long time. It’s just that I’ve been refusing. That’s because I like you and I want to see you and be with you. So I told my father to ask you to come to City B in person. On the surface, I hope you can learn more about the development of our industry. In fact, it’s an opportunity I created for the two of us to be together.”
“Leo, I love you. I want to be with you and marry you! As long as you choose to be with me, Thomas Group and I belong to you!”
Fiona’s words are firm and confident. Her face is full of pride.
She’s telling Leo that she’s no worse than Tracy. He doesn’t need to worry about his fiancee. If he is with her, he will not lose anything.

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....
