Pressing down his anger, Leo stares coldly at Claire and suddenly says, “What you see is not necessarily true. I really doubt what you have been doing all these years. You’re a fool? What do you know about your friend? How fool you are so your best friend is so uninhibited that she seduces her best friend’s husband?”
Claire is taken aback. “You mean that Brynn seduced you first? Are you kidding me, do you think I am so gullible?”
Leo snorts. He just reminds her about that and he doesn’t care to explain anything to her. So he just says softly, “Believe it or not. It is your business.” He stops talking and decides to get dressed and leave.
Claire clenches her lip and looks at Leo for a while. Then she says suddenly, “Give me your wallet!”
Leo turns his head and looks at her questioningly, but without any hesitation, he throws his wallet directly at Claire. He doesn’t know what she is trying to do and doesn’t care.
Claire takes the wallet, and says in a low voice, “I will go and pay your sex partner outside the door!!”
Claire walks out of the room, looking up at Brynn who is bewildered in the hallway.
Looking at Brynn’s face, Claire ponders, thinking that Brynn is her best friend from childhood. Would she really betray me?
Claire is confused in her head. then she goes forward.
On Brynn’s side, however, when she sees Claire, she runs away in the opposite direction, as if she has met the ghost.
Claire hurries up and shouts, “Brynn, don’t leave. I have something to say to you.”
Brynn stops and turns to Claire.
Claire hasn’t come yet to say anything, just listen to Brynn cry out, “Claire, I am sorry, I should not have done that with your husband, but... you have to believe me, it is not my choice, Leo... Leo forced me!”
At Brynn’s words, Claire is somehow unhappy, but her face is still calm, and she takes a pile of cash out of Leo’s wallet and dumps it on Brynn.
“Claire, why are you doing this...?” Brynn turns pale.
“This is your reward.” Claire says.
“It is not easy for a woman to make love with Leo!” Claire looks at Brynn with a smile that makes Brynn feel a little nervous.
Brynn bites her lip, asks, “Claire, do you know the truth...?”
Brynn doesn’t know what Leo has said to Claire, but she is nervous and frightened, and sees Claire nod, which makes Brynn a little dizzy.
Claire answers with a sullen expression, “Yes, I know, but, Brynn, I am telling you, Leo is not a good guy, and if you are with him, there is not going to be any good results.”
After that, Claire turns to leave, but she is very sad. She doesn’t realize that she has only put Brynn to the test and has succeeded.

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....
