Claire just wants to get out of this mess. But when she comes to the door, one strong hand holds her waist, and the other hand rests on her waist.
“Luke?”
Claire looks up and recognizes the man with a soft smile around his eyes.
But then she finds that his hand hold her waist unflinchingly.
“What? Fight again?” Luke cocks his head, smiles with relieving, and slowly lowers his hand from her waist.
Claire is about to say thank you, but suddenly Luke holds her hand.
“Go on, go inside.” Luke takes her back to the club.
Claire, drunk and powerless, has no strength to resist. So she follows him and goes in again.
The woman with her short hair is sitting on Leo's knee, her two white thighs shaking wildly.
Her hands have caught Leo's neck, and she had a pretty face, “Leo, do you have the heart to see her bullying me like that? I will not talk to you anymore.“
Leo does not seem to hear what she was saying, just being cold.
Claire, who is used to such a scene, is still angry, and she directly turns her head away.
Luke let go of Claire's hand with a light cough, looking at her with a comforting glance, and then smiles wryly at Leo. “You are just….making me feel…”
Luke thinks for a long time and cannot think of a suitable adjective, so he gives up.
“Leo, you are going too far.”
“Do not mind if you should not. Have not you heard from the last person I asked for?” Leo was always thinking about the little wild cat that day.
Luke frowns slightly. “I will tell you if I hear something, but what you are playing now?” He looked at Claire, who is standing a little wobbly, and at Leo, who was just flirting with others.
“Playing what? You do not know what this bitch did out there, and now she is even going to seduce my own brother.”
Luke smiles softly. He walks over to Claire's side, fingers the hair on her forehead and whispered, “No way! How can such a lovely girl go too far? Are you mistaken, huh?”
Luke holds Claire's hand as he speaks and pulls her to his side.
Luke goes on, “Leo, you do not know to cherish such a good woman, I feel so regretful.” Luke takes Claire's hand and slightly stiffens the strength.
Leo snorts, not answering, unhappily. It’s not clear if it’s because Luke and Claire are too close, or Claire has just left.
The short-haired girl looks at Claire gloomily over Leo's neck as she rubs on Leo's chest with her white breasts.
But Claire is so calm, like that Leo is not her husband.
Leo, tired of pushing away the girl, lies down on the couch, takes a glass of wine, and then looks at Claire through the shaking glass.
Short-haired girl sees this, bites her teeth, suddenly says to Leo, "Leo, I just unfortunately lost, please give me another chance. This time I will play bigger."
“As you wish.” Leo laughs.
Leo leans slightly and pulls Claire from aside.
Claire is on fire, but Leo says, “Do you dare?”

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....
