“Their sacrifice is also worth it. As long as Leo dies, I am the underground emperor here. I will control Mafia and government and nobody can defeat me.”
These words are insipid, but let the bald man very excited.
After such a long time of patience, doesn’t he want to stand on the position of deputy? From now on, he will control more power and even expand his territory...
Beep beep beep—
The bald man is thinking about it when his cell phone suddenly ring.
Looking the message, the bald man’s eyes are brightened and says, “Boss, Leo has appeared!”
The corners of Juan’s mouth are slightly raises and he says, “Very well, let Claire’s substitute out and leads Leo to the east of the castle. As long as Leo arrives at the designated place, he will be blasted to the bone!”
“Yes!”
Bald man begins to deploy action. Claire gently goes back and leaves the study.
As expected, these are all the traps of Juan! She must tell Leo to leaves here as soon as possible!
Back to the safety zone, Claire immediately takes out her wristwatch and says anxiously, “Hey, Conan, let Leo leave quickly. He is in ambush!”
With voice going down, Claire does not get any response. Surrounded by a dead silence and she can only hear her panic footsteps.
“Damn, the signal is blocked again!”
Holding the wristwatch tightly, Claire turns to look out of the window and finds that the terrace has been bombed. She afraid it’s impossible to contacts Conan there.
Now the only way is to find Conan first and let him finds a way to contacts Leo.
Claire squints and runs to the underpass according to the instructions before Conan.
But after opening the door, Claire sees only one dead body.
No need to say, it must be a masterpiece of Juan.
The last road is blocked and Claire is completely flustered.
But Leo still needs Claire. She can’t wait and watch Leo go to the end.
With eyes closed and breathing deep, Claire orders herself to calm down. When she opens her eyes again, she has made a decision.
“Leo, you were protecting me before. This time, let me protect you!”
Biting her red lips, Claire turns around and runs back along the original road.
...
There is a huge fountain on the east side of the castle, which usually sprays various kinds of fancy water columns. It is spectacular and beautiful.
Now, the sound of gunfire around it is constant, the air is full of blood. But the fountain still keeps its gorgeous shape, which is very strange.
The first round of attack is over. There are only a few people left on Juan’s side. They are forced to the southwest of the castle to fight.
Claire seizes the opportunity and takes a short cut to the east of the castle.
Far away, Claire sees a thin woman standing in front, wearing a cape and a hat. And the brim of the hat is too low to see clearly.
But the profile of this woman is very similar to that of Claire. With the tense appearance of the surrounding guards, it’s easy to mistake she is Claire.
At the same time, Leo appears in another direction.
Obviously, he also finds the fake Claire and hurries to there immediately.

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....
