The next morning, Claire Bennett gets up and asks the driver to take her to Conservatory of Music of A University.
A University is the top university in A City. Conservatory of Music is a branch of A University specializing in music. It is a well-known aristocratic school in China.
Generally, there are only three kinds of people who will come to this school. They are rich in assets. They come from well-known families. They have at least one listed company. Or they are from an official family with at least one municipal leader.
In addition, there is another kind of person. They have special accomplishments and knowledge in music. Of course, they can afford tuition or they can get a full scholarship from the school.
Claire Bennett stands at the door. She looks at the decorated university gate and then walks into the school with the materials she needs.
Finding the place to sign up, Claire Bennett fills out a series of materials and goes to pay for her tuition.
Fortunately, she has a bank card which her dad left for her to go to college. The money in it is enough.
However, when she swipes her card, something goes wrong.
“Miss Bennett, I’m sorry, your bank card has been frozen. Do you think you need to change it?” The school staff in charge of the fees looks at Claire Bennett somewhat helplessly.
Claire Bennett is startled. How could the card her father gave her be frozen?
“It’s impossible. Can you try it again? It shouldn’t be frozen. It’s impossible.” Claire Bennett’s voice is tense.
However, after trying again, the man shakes his head and tells Claire Bennett, “I’m sorry but your card has really been frozen. Please come back. There are still a lot of people registering today!”
The students in the queue behind say the same thing. After all, most of these people are spoiled. They have never been neglected.
Claire Bennett has no choice but to apologize and then leaves the school with her belongings.
The bank card that her dad gave her to go to college can’t be frozen. If it’s frozen, there’s only one possibility. Jade Patton did it.
With that in mind, Claire Bennett quickly stops a taxi and heads for Jade Patton’s company. It should be called her father’s company.
However, Claire Bennett is stopped at the entrance of the company. The security guard at the entrance looks strange and Claire Bennett is confused.
The man doesn’t know Claire Bennett. He says responsibly, “Hello, miss. Can I help you? Do you have an appointment?”
“I’m looking for Jade Patton and I’m the daughter of the chairman of the company. My name is Claire Bennett!” Claire Bennett understands that all this is Jade Patton’s idea and she replaced the security guards at the entrance.
However, when the security guard hears Claire Bennett’s name, he shakes his head and says, “I’m sorry. Mrs. Patton said you have to make an appointment to get in. Please come back.”
Claire Bennett stares at the security guard. His eyes are dodging. She suddenly realizes that Jade Patton has ordered the security guard at the entrance of the company. She has to stand at the entrance of the company and grits her teeth and dials Jade Patton’s telephone.
Claire Bennett seems to hear Jade Patton’s triumphant laughter when the telephone is connected.
“Ah, it’s you. I heard you are going to sign up for school recently. Why do you call me?” Jade Patton knowingly asks, making Claire Bennett’s even angrier.

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....
