Claire Bennett stands in the pool. She is surprised to find that the water has just flooded her chest. She breathes a sigh of relief. “Leo Howard, don’t think this problem will be able to stump me. I will succeed!”
Claire Bennett begins to move slowly in the pool to look for the bracelet. Suddenly, her feet slip and she loses her center of gravity. She has stepped into the deep pit in the pool.
“Help...” Claire Bennett shouts. The water in the pool pours into her mouth and nose in an instant, making her even more miserable.
Claire Bennett struggles. Her father’s benevolent face flashes through her mind. “Dad...”
Cold water pours into her mouth and nose. Claire Bennett closes her eyes and sinks into the bottom of the pool...
At this time, Leo Howard frowns as he watches coldly from a distance. He doesn’t know Claire Bennett cannot swim. He just wants to see her make a fool of herself.
But when the pool is completely quiet, Leo Howard is a little nervous. He says to himself, “Does she have an accident?”
Leo Howard’s heart beat suddenly quickens. He begins to feel flustered. He walks quickly to the side of the pool and sees that there is still no movement on the surface of the water. He immediately jumps down without thinking about it.
Claire Bennett is a silly woman. His revenge is not over yet. He forbids her to die!
Soon, Leo Howard has brought Claire Bennett back from the pool. Claire Bennett is wet all over. Her clothes cling to her body and show her figure. He feels only a thirst in his throat.
But Claire Bennett is still in a coma. Leo Howard pats her face. After confirming that her life is not in danger, he frowns and tries to carry her into the room.
Then Claire Bennett begins to mutter, “Mom...”
Mom?!
Leo Howard freezes and sneers.
This damn woman is still thinking about her slut mother. With that in mind, Leo Howard simply lets go. He throws Claire Bennett to the ground and does not intend to carry her back to her room.
“It hurts.” Claire Bennett is in pain. She coughs and looks painful.
Leo Howard takes a look at Claire Bennett. Ignoring her painful expression, he sneers coldly and turns away.
Claire Bennett is in a coma near the pool. She feels cold all over. No one comes to save her. Finally, she wakes up because it is too cold.
Claire Bennett wraps her hands around herself. She opens her eyes in a daze. She squats by the pool and begins to tremble and clench her teeth.
Claire Bennett looks around and thinks about falling into the pool. But she does not know who saved her from the water.
Suddenly she remembers the bracelet and immediately looks at the time on the watch next to her. The time agreed with Leo Howard has already passed and she has not finished the task. She can’t get her tuition.

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....
