Although Conan is bragging, it’s mostly true.
Luke nods and says, “let me tell you the good news. The court withdrew the summons against Howard Group. It seems that the plaintiff gives up.”
This is expected and Conan is not very surprised, but he feels more guilty about Juan.
Last time he didn’t know Juan and suffered. Then he thought he understood Juan completely, but he didn’t expect that the man is still fickle.
Conan smiles bitterly.
“Why are you unhappy?” Luke looks at Conan’s reluctant smile and says, “are you worried?”
Conan doesn’t answer and thinks of another thing.
“By the way, it’s been a few days. Haven’t Wilson Group returned?” Conan begins to worry about the speculation.
Luke says, “now Wilson Group needs a reason to come back. After a while, there will be a shareholders’ meeting. I’m sure that people from Wilson Group will attend. Don’t worry, Tracy is a mean woman. How could she really give up Howard Group?”
Then Luke says, “do you want to attend this shareholders’ meeting?”
Conan waves and refuses directly, “no, if I go, I have no other function than to attract attention. But Uncle Luke, you really trust me.”
Luke says, “you have the ability. Don’t try to look like a child all the time.”
Conan says in his heart that he is a child, but he smiles on the surface.
...
Conan works for a few days. After Luke leaves, he sleeps on the table and doesn’t get up until his saliva stains the table.
Conan rubs his bleary eyes and yawns. He opens his eyes and finds Luke hurrying in from the outside and pressing his hands on the desk.
“Uncle Luke? What’s the matter with you?” Conan feels as if something has happened.
Luke shakes his head and says, “you’re right. People from Wilson Group didn’t come to this shareholders’ meeting. They say they’re not a shareholder in Howard Group so they don’t want to be invited later.”
“What does that woman want to do?” Conan squints and tries to think from Tracy’s perspective. Maybe he can guess her motive.
But Tracy is not Juan that Conan knows, and Conan is not a woman. So he can only conclude that the woman is mad.
Tracy has paid a lot for the implementation of the plan before, including the capital and reputation and credibility of Wilson Group. If Wilson Group returns this time, it will still lose money, but it is acceptable.
Tracy is now digging her own grave and wasting a lot of money.
Is that woman really so willing?
“Has she made any other request?” Conan suspects that maybe Tracy wants to do something on his own.

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....
