Claire pokes Conan with her finger and says, “are you performing in front of me? You have only one purpose.”
Conan denies it, but the smile on his face has betrayed his real thoughts.
“You are too cunning. Do you really want to be like your daddy?” Claire glances at him.
Conan pouts helplessly and continues to hold Leo’s hand. He turns around and stops paying attention to Claire. Conan doesn’t know what he is thinking.
...
When Juan hears from his men that Leo has been rescued by Bryce, he first feels inconceivable, and then he becomes furious.
Because Bryce did it because Claire asked Bryce for help.
“Claire, well done. You let your suitor save your ex husband.” Juan sneers in the heart but appears calm.
In fact, he’s most angry with Claire now. He can let it go, but this time she touches his bottom line. It’s an absolute insult to Juan that she escapes from him many times.
What’s more, Juan knows that Claire doesn’t want to come back after this escape and is ready to really go back to Leo.
That year Juan took Claire away. She doesn’t forget Leo for six years, which frustrates Juan.
“Call back all the people who are looking for Claire and Conan.” In the spacious office, Juan’s voice is more indifferent because of its emptiness.
“Yes, President Juan. Are we going to keep tracking that hacker?” The man lowers his head and doesn’t dare to look at Juan.
Juan seems to have a headache. Five hackers can fight that little guy. If they relax a little, they may be defeated.
“Yes, he can’t be given the chance to act.” Juan makes a decision and asks, “how are things going with the suppliers and design companies?”
This is what Juan is most concerned about. Since Claire is stubborn, he doesn’t mind destroying Leo and Howard Group together. He believes that Howard Group without Leo is a fortress made of paper in front of him.
“Everything is ready. We spent a lot of money replacing suppliers and design companies that worked with Howard Group.” Juan’s men are puzzled by what he has done.
“We’ve heard that Howard Group is not as chaotic as it used to be. It seems that Luke has stepped into Howard Group’s business.”
“Luke, ha ha. Don’t worry.”
Juan is only worried about Leo in the hospital bed. Luke has guts but he’s too kind. This is absolutely the biggest taboo in business.
“But this time we spent quite a lot of money. Is it really worth it?”
Even if Juan now destroys Howard Group, he doesn’t seem to get the benefit.
“Short sighted.”
This is Juan’s comment.
“If I destroy Howard Group, do you think there are any rivals that can compete with me? I has the final say in the whole business. Besides, I must let Leo lose to me...”
Juan almost crushes the glass of red wine in his hand, and his eyes are dark and cold. He issues the death edict to Howard Group like a devil.

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....
