In the face of Tracy’s angry face, she is speechless now. How can she retort that she is actually forced?
Claire lowers her head indifferently.
Seeing Claire’s reaction, Tracy sneers. She says bitterly, “bitch, what do you want to say? You are a dirty woman. You’ve set this trap from the beginning and won my trust and seduced Leo. Tell me why you got close to Leo!”
“…”
Claire clenches her lower lip. She is pale and speechless. All the embarrassment and shame pour into her heart at the moment. The look she enjoys echoes in her mind. She feels deeply betrayed by herself.
Faced with Tracy’s questions, she has nothing to say. She can’t even argue.
Seeing Claire bow her head and refuse to admit it, Tracy gets even angrier. She rushes up and tries to slap Claire a few more times. As soon as she raises her hand, a voice comes out of the office, “Tracy, what are you doing?”
“Leo!”
Tracy is stopped. She turns and looks at the source of the voice. Her ferocious expression suddenly becomes pitiful. Her eyes are so red that they seem to tear at any time. She says pitifully and righteously, “Leo, I’m teaching this woman who seduced you. How shameless this bitch is! She has seduced a married man!”
Leo comes slowly. He sees Claire with her head down and depressed and several pictures on the ground. Even though he is far away, he hears Tracy’s words and her expression that she wants to kill Claire. He knows what happened.
Leo stops. He keeps a few steps away from them. He says coldly and expressionless, “you don’t have to worry. How can you make trouble in the company?”
“Leo!” Tracy wants to pretend that she is hurt and needs to be comforted, but Leo’s words immediately exposes her. She stares at Leo incredibly and shouts angrily, “Leo! What do you mean? Do you want to protect this bitch?”
“I didn’t protect her.” Leo’s reaction is calm. He looks at Claire who doesn’t dare look up at him and says lightly, “it’s not a big deal!”
“Leo!” Tracy walks up to him in shock and shakes Leo’s arm.
She shouts, “How can you say that? I’m your fiancee. You even let me not mind those mistresses who seduce you. Have you ever thought of me as your fiancee?”
“It’s two different things.” Leo calmly looks at the angry Tracy and casually says, “don’t make trouble here.”
“I’m making trouble?” Leo’s words make Tracy cry. Her tears are streaming down. She looks at Leo wrongly and says, “you say I’m making trouble. Leo, we’ve been in love for six years. You let me ignore the women who seduce you. You even say I am making trouble. Leo, you weren’t like that before. You’ve been seduced by this bitch to help her, haven’t you?”
“Stop it! I’ll give you an explanation!” Leo says. He has made up his mind to break the engagement.

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....
