Claire Bennett is infected by Ling Howard’s sunshine. She says, “If only your brother could be so outgoing.”
They laugh at the same time. Although they have not known each other for a long time, they have a good relationship.
On the second floor of the villa, Leo Howard opens the curtains and looks at Claire Bennett who is laughing happily. He has never seen Claire Bennett laugh so happily.
Now she is talking and laughing with his brother, which makes Leo Howard very upset. Although Claire Bennett is a dirty woman, she belongs to him.
His eyes become fierce.
Leo Howard closes the curtains and goes downstairs. He bluntly breaks into the conversation between Ling Howard and Claire Bennett. He frowns at Claire Bennett and murmurs, “It’s late. You should go to bed.”
Claire Bennett doesn’t know what happened to Leo Howard. She sleeps in separate rooms with Leo Howard and Leo Howard never cares about her bedtime. Today he asks for it.
Claire Bennett is about to retort but Leo Howard turns to Ling Howard and says, “You must be tired just after you get home. Go and have a rest. I’ve already had your room cleaned up!”
Ling Howard looks puzzled at Leo Howard and Claire Bennett. He feels strange but does not speak. He nods.
Leo Howard says a few words and pulls Claire Bennett into the room.
“What are you going to do?” When Claire Bennett enters the room, she yells, “why do you want to control everything?”
Claire Bennett has no scruples. She doesn’t have to disguise herself in front of Ling Howard. She throws Leo Howard’s hand aside. “You are a control freak, neurotic, scum.”
“Claire Bennett, you were flirting with Ling Howard just now,” Leo Howard sneers. What do you think I am?”
Claire Bennett turns to walk out of the room. “You’re neurotic.”
“You want to leave?”
Leo Howard suddenly grabs Claire Bennett’s hand and brutally hits her against the wall. He puts his arms on the wall and glares at her. He says grimly, “You are so dirty. Can’t you stand loneliness when you see a man? You seduced my brother. How lewd are you?”
Claire Bennett clenches her teeth and turns her head in resentment. “Do you think I’m the same as you?” Claire Bennett sneers.
Leo Howard snorts and presses his whole body against Claire Bennett’s trembling body, making it difficult for her to move.
Claire Bennett shouts. Her delicate body explodes with tremendous force to push Leo Howard away.
“Ling Howard and I were just talking normally,” she roars.
Leo Howard doesn’t expect Claire Bennett to push him. His eyes are fierce in a flash. He presses Claire Bennett’s shoulder and says angrily, “You have to remember your position. Dare you resist me? You want to die...”
Before Leo Howard finishes, Claire Bennett suddenly turns her head and bites Leo Howard hard on the hand that holds her shoulder.
Claire Bennett feels only a slight muffling noise. Leo Howard’s slender, cold hand is bitten by her teeth. Warm blood flows from between her lips and teeth.
Leo Howard has not been treated like that. Let alone she is a lewd woman. By this time he is furious and pushes Claire Bennett against the wall.
Claire Bennett feels a bump on her back and she is cold and almost faints. She looks up and finds Leo Howard’s broad palm ready to hit her in the face.
“Slave, you want to die!” Leo Howard’s voice is cold and violent.

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....
