After Tracy leaves, Leo looks at Claire who is still standing in the corner with her head down. He sighs and asks softly, “are you ok?”
Claire shakes her head and looks up at Leo. She looks at Leo seriously and firmly and says, “president, I want to quit.”
She thought about it just now. Tracy knows it so she won’t let her go. She approaches him just to find her son. She doesn’t want to be infamous and scolded for being a mistress in the street.
She doesn’t want it.
Before everyone knows about it, she wants to leave Leo. At least she won’t be so miserable.
Hearing Claire’s words, Leo purses his lips. He shakes his head seriously and says firmly, “you can’t leave. I will not accept your resignation.”
“…”
The scene is exactly the same as it was six years ago.
Claire thinks helplessly, Leo, why are you so domineering? You know there is no result.
At that time, Claire wanted to leave, but Leo refused to let her go. It seems that she should try her best to leave this time.
Claire sighs softly. Her voice is a little determined, “Leo, if I want to leave, you can’t stop me.”
“I have the final say!” Leo is full of majesty. Claire can’t help but flinch from his terrible eyes.
But she can’t.
Claire straightens up and says seriously to Leo, “if you don’t believe it, we can try!”
Claire’s determined face hurts Leo’s heart. He strides up to Claire and reaches for her chin. He forces her to look at him and says, “you can’t leave. This is an order!”
Claire raises her hand and holds Leo’s wrist. She looks at him bravely. “Now everyone has freedom. I have the right to choose. You can’t decide it.”
“Just for me, can’t you?”
Leo looks at Claire affectionately. His words have a rare affection.
“...”
Claire is shocked by Leo’s words. Is that true or false?
No, it must be fake. Most of their ambiguity is caused by Leo. She is misunderstood by Tracy because of him.
She can’t be silly any more.
Claire pushes Leo’s hand hard and says coldly, “president, don’t be kidding. I’m just an ordinary woman. I’m not worthy of your love.”
With that, Claire wants to get out of here.
“I’m not kidding!” Leo stands there and suddenly shouts.
“...” Claire looks back and resolutely leaves the mess.

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....
