They used to cheat Juan when they were in France.
Receiving Conan’s hint, Claire suddenly understands. She looks at the two bodyguards angrily and says, “OK, I know it’s hard for you.”
With that, Claire goes back to the house and closes the door behind her.
At the same time, she comes quickly back to the room. Considering Leo’s safety, Claire puts Conan down and anxiously asks him, “Conan, do you have any other way? Tell me quickly, and then we can go to visit your daddy earlier!”
“Mommy, don’t worry,” at this moment, Conan recovers his usual calm. He says cleverly, “we can’t go out at the front door, but we can go out at the back door. I used to look at the layout of this house when I was bored at home.”
Conan smiles smugly. “The back door is next to the warehouse and very few people go there. We can get out of there later. I promise we’ll slip out and come back before Godfather finds out.”
Hearing Conan’s words, Claire smiles happily. She looks at her son and says happily, “Conan, good job! If I don’t have you, I would have fought with those two just now!”
“Mommy, you’re stupid...” Conan wants to laugh at Claire. He suddenly realizes that he shouldn’t say that now. He says gravely, “let’s get going. Time is running out!”
“OK!” Conan’s plan gives Claire a lot of hope and strength. She quickly picks up Conan and opens the door again to go downstairs.
When they get to the first floor, the living room is empty, but Claire can’t help walking quietly for fear of disturbing the two bodyguards standing outside.
The other direction of the stairs is the way to the back door. Claire is walking fast in the direction Conan points out. Everything is going so smoothly, but what Claire and Conan never thinks of is...
Halfway through Claire’s walk, the hall door suddenly opens. Claire is seen by the man who opens the door before she can hide.
All of a sudden, Claire and Conan are flustered!
Hearing the sound of opening the door, Claire tries to speed up her pace and rushes to the back door, but her body is seen by the person who opens the door. When he sees Claire running, he chases her.
He chases and shouts, “Claire! Where are you going?”
When Claire hears the voice, she feels flustered!
It’s Juan who owns the voice!
Why is he back? He said he would go out to do something before he went out. How could he have come back so early! It’s less than half an hour!
Hearing Juan’s voice, Claire knows she can’t escape. She stands stiffly in place and does not dare to look back at Juan.
Juan soon catches up with her. He runs up to Claire and gaspes.
Looking at Claire and Conan, he is a little confused and unhappy and asks, “where do you two want to go?”

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....
