After an intermittent sound, the earphones are calm again.
This kid is more and more cunning!
Throwing the book aside, Claire’s eyes are solemn.
She knows her son very well. It’s obvious that Conan is just avoiding the topic.
Although Conan wants to protect Claire, the more he doesn’t say, the more uneasy Claire is. And she always feels that something important is going to happen.
But she can’t do anything now. She can only be a canary in a cage and watch the blood flow outside.
...
The weather outside the window is gloomy and in the dead silence, there is a suffocating sense of oppression.
In the room, Leo sits leisurely in front of the table. His fingers are beating on the table and his eyes are on the green plants on the windowsill, without focus.
Compared with Leo’s indifference, Luke seems a little impatient. He keeps communicating with his guys and occasionally makes a phone call. He loses his usual appearance of a noble child.
The floor clock in the room makes a heavy sound, which attracts the sight of Leo and Luke.
With a little breath, Leo stands up, picks up his suit and put on his coat. It is like he is going to participate in an ordinary business negotiation.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes.”
“OK, let’s go.”
Leo turns to go out, but Luke stops him.
Although he knows the answer, Luke still wants to ask, “Leo, have you really decided? Once decided, there is no turning back.”
“Do I have a way back now? Even if I want, Juan would not give me this opportunity.”
With that, Leo pushes the door and goes out, while Luke sighs in the back.
It seems that Leo is not easy to let go this time. It afraid that city A going to be a different look.
...
This night, Claire’s sleep is not stable. She is drowsy and awakes when dreaming.
In the early morning, there is a roar outside. Though it is through the window, it also makes people feel headache.
Rubbing her temples, Claire frowns and opens the quilt, murmuring, “What’s the matter? Why is it so noisy?”
Claire wants to ask the maid what’s the matter. When she opens the door, she finds that there is no one outside.
Although these servants have dissatisfaction on Claire, they never dare to show and she never fail to find anyone. What’s the matter now?
Claire has no tend to sleep at all. She walks down the corridor one by one, but no one comes across her.
This huge castle like a ghost house, let the outside make earth shaking noises, but it’s very quiet inside.
“Bang bang—”
This is... Blast!?
The sudden noise makes Claire shrink her shoulders. Then she turns her head and looks out of the window and her pupils suddenly shrink.
Dozens of helicopters are circling the castle at low altitude, dropping bombs on the ground from time to time, breaking up the guards who are hiding in the dark.
The attack of the other side is very purposeful. The location of dropping bombs is important guard location. Soon, the defense in the castle is defeated.
At the same time, snipers with heavy weapons rush in and breaks the scattered defense one by one. In a short time, Juan suffers heavy casualties.
Even through the glass window, Claire can smell the bloody smell outside. The scene of hell makes Claire turns around and retches.
“Mommy, Mommy?”

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....
