So what Claire has to do is to protect her innocence. And she doesn't want to let Leo and Conan get in any danger because of her.
Leo has his own plans on the these news about Claire brought by Luke. He's not a fool, so he can't directly send someone to grab Claire.
That night, Leo first sends a few subordinates to investigate the three locations. It turns out that two of them are fake, and one of them is true.
Claire appears at a large reception, and his subordinate brings messages to him.
Leo immediately sends a large number of people to the reception to prepare to recapture Claire.
However, Leo still feels a little uneasy. Luke realizes what Leo is worried about and asks, “No photos?”
Leo nods and says, “No, our subordinate said it’s just a brief ten-second appearance because of the body guard.”
Luke shakes his head. “I always feel something wrong.”
Leo says, “This time I will go in person. I don't believe they can do anything.”
As an underworld god, he has to charge forward, which is the most irrational move.
Luke says, “The news headlines is all about you these days, but the police have not gotten any concrete evidence of your involvement in the crime, if you are so publicized ...”
Leo thinks deeply, “I think they just want to use Bennett to attract me out. Even if they can't crush me completely, the police can find the evidence and give me a fatal blow.”
Luke is relieved to see Leo finally calm down.
...
At the same time, at the company's reception, the sighted Juan and Claire just disappear after a brief appearance.
In the room behind the reception, a woman is sitting respectfully opposite the bald man, while a man in a tuxedo is pouring wine on the bald.
The bald man enjoys this feeling. Even if he couldn't be treated by real Juan, it feels good to be served by a fake one looking like Juan.
The woman sitting opposite him looks like Claire. These two are the bait for Leo.
In order to prove his capability, the bald head wants to kill Leo for Juan directly. To get more attention from Juan.
In fact, some time ago, he has done a great job, defeating Leo's forces. Juan doesn’t step in, not even a compliment. Juan always cluttered with Claire in the villa all day. This makes the bald man very angry.
That's why he comes up with the plan and wants to kill Leo.
The bald man doesn’t believe he could sit still when Leo sees Claire appear at the conference.
When the fake Juan pours the third glass of wine on the bald man, the bald man is already flushed.
At this point the phone rings and his subordinate inform that a large number of vehicles are approaching the reception.
He doesn't even think about it, and he knows it must be Leo. The bald man orders directly, “Siege and find Leo. I need him alive”
After talking on the phone, the bald man drinks a large glass of red wine and then prepares for acceptance of Leo, who is about to be captured.

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....
