Chapter 8 Unprecedented humiliation
"Where is the little wild cat that night, why can't I find her all the time..." Leo Howard doesn't notice Claire Bennett behind him, and he is still looking at the ancient jade Pei in his hand.
Thinking of the sexy little wild cat, thinking of her taste, Leo Howard's lips evokes a sneer, showing his ambition, and the faint favor of no reason to the owner of the ancient jade.
Just as Leo Howard is still thinking about the strange woman of that day, Claire Bennett has already walks over to him. The servants see Claire Bennett but not stop her, calling: "Mrs. Howard, good morning."
Although these people call her Mrs. Howard, most people's expressions are very contemptuous and disdainful.
You know, when Claire Bennett comes to Howard's house, the young master says that they don't need to treat this Claire Bennett as the real Mrs. Howard. Yesterday, he let the maid lock her in the room so they understood his attitude.
“What are you doing?” Leo Howard suddenly turns cold. He turns and takes the jade quickly into his pocket and looks at Claire Bennett. The tone is not so good.
Claire Bennett catches the shadow of the thing in Leo Howard's hand, emerald green, but not even the shape.
However, she does not care, looks up at the man like a demon in front of her eyes, she says with courage: "I want to go home and see, can you let me handle some things?"
Her dad’s physical condition is still unknown, and the house is occupied by Jade Patton. She must think of ways to go back!
Leo Howard's eyes narrows and he looks at Claire Bennett. The smile is a bit sullen: "How could you want to go back so quickly?"
Not waiting for Claire Bennett to nod, Leo Howard continues: "I don't want to see you, but... my new wife, it is just after getting married, you are rushing back because I can't satisfy you?"
Leo Howard says, taking two steps forward and approaching Claire Bennett.

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....
