It’s always dark as a dream. Juan has been sitting in the dark for several days. In addition to smoking and drinking water and forcing himself to eat, Juan is like half asleep and half awake.
There is more darkness in his heart than in his room. The buggers that Conan installed in his study have been completely dismantled.
In fact, Juan hopes that the buggers haven’t been removed. He wants Claire to know what’s going on. But Claire probably doesn’t care.
Juan thinks he is ridiculous. He even wants to get sympathy after his failure.
He doesn’t allow himself to degenerate, so he tries to sit at his desk. He is like the last king of a broken Kingdom, trying to maintain his dignity.
But even so, his dignity has been lost with the collapse of the plan. Juan thinks that if it has been before, he will have continued that plan and let Howard Group fail miserably.
But at the thought of Claire’s refusal, he is not in the mood to carry out the plan of destroying Howard Group. Because it doesn’t make sense anymore.
It turns out that getting Claire is more important than destroying Leo, but how can you get Claire without destroying Leo?
It can’t be explained! For the first time, Juan feels that his logical ability is so terrible. He falls into a dilemma, which leads to his loss of interest and passion in everything.
It’s better for him to stay in this closed room and quietly immerse himself in black.
Juan has turned off all his mobile phones, but the antique turntable phone on his desk rings and breaks the closed world Juan creats.
Juan seems to be fighting against himself. He is obviously tired of the ring but he doesn’t hang up or answer.
He just watches the phone vibrate and his ears are mercilessly stimulated by the needle like sound.
...
In the end he fails. Juan sighs and picks up the phone. Before that, he expects Conan or Claire to call.
It’s obviously not.
It’s his goddamn men again.
“President Juan, all the plans you have arranged have been completed, but how to complete the following tasks?”
The man who calls is afraid to annoy Juan. Because he made several calls before. Juan hung up and shut down.
No one expects Juan to be a depressed man.
“...”
Juan doesn’t answer. Although he is holding the receiver, he is expressionless and seems to be thinking about other things.
“President Juan? What about the plan?”
Juan says coldly, “if I don’t have an order, don’t act on it. If you call again, you can die directly.”
The man knows that he is annoying Juan, so he doesn’t dare speak again. He just hangs up quickly.

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....
