Now Tracy looks crazy. She’s enjoying insulting Claire.
But Claire does not feel angry at all. Instead, she feels very sorry for the woman in her heart. It’s a kind of sadness that she can do this in order to get even with someone.
Claire remains calm and even smiles and says, “it’s really a good deal for me. In fact, I didn’t want to stay with Leo at the beginning. Everything is just your conjecture.”
“Why are you not so arrogant now? Aren’t you going to ruin my reputation? Ha ha...” Tracy continues to laugh and looks at the agreement.
Only by watching Claire sign her own name will she be completely relieved.
Claire is not worried. She sits opposite Tracy and doesn’t seem to have the consciousness to be a failure. She says calmly, “it’s a good deal for me, but is it really worth it? Even if you help Howard Group this time, you will lose. Besides, I’m afraid Leo won’t let you go when he wakes up.”
This is not Claire’s threat. It’s a fact.
“It’s none of your business. As long as you’re not here, Leo will be mine sooner or later. Howard Group will be mine in the end. I can afford the loss.”
Tracy becomes angry but she soon recovers.
“Are you regretting now? I know you’re pretending.” Tracy continues to satirize.
Claire shakes her head and says, “I’d like to give you some more advice before signing.”
Tracy looks at Claire in disbelief. If Claire isn’t serious, she will really think she is crazy.
“Advice? You have nothing now. What qualifications do you have to give me advice?” Tracy crosses her legs and picks up the coffee. She is drinking her coffee slowly and looking at Claire coldly.
“I thought about it recently. Actually, I should apologize to you. Leo, Bryce and my other friend have been hating and fighting each other.”
“It doesn’t make sense.” Claire closes her eyes. She has a headache at the thought of these topics. “I promise you this time because of Howard Group and I want it to end.”
Claire is sincere but Tracy laughs. Then suddenly she stops laughing and shrieks, “enough, Claire, what do you think you are?”
In Tracy’s opinion, Claire loses to her and wants to pretend to be kind.
Claire knows Tracy will have that attitude, so she isn’t surprised. She picks up the pen on the table.
She finishes what she should say. She will go abroad but she decides to see Juan before that. She doesn’t want Juan to kill Leo after she leaves.
Claire wonders why they are fighting endlessly.
When Claire finally knows the truth, she finds that she is really naive. In fact, she is not only the fuse of these fights, but also an important chess piece.
Tracy watches Claire write and swallows subconsciously. Her plan succeeds in the end, and her heart is filled with joy.
But Claire feels relaxed. She thinks writing her name is like erasing her past. It can bring her back to life.
At this time, the door of the box is kicked open.
A small figure appears at the door.

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....
