Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad

Chapter 81: 81 Being beaten and his indifference

Claire doesn’t turn on the light. There is darkness around her. She doesn’t know how long it has passed.

It is only when Claire wakes up that she realizes it has been a day. The door has never been opened, and Leo has no one bring her food or water.

Claire feels that if she has been locked up here, she will die sooner or later. She can now feel that she is so weak that her feet are shaking even when she gets out of bed.

Claire holds the wall and walks out the door. She knocks at the door and no one pays attention to her. So she opens the door. Even if she is guarded outside, she must go out, or she will die.

To Claire’s surprise, the bodyguards and maids are gone. She thinks she will be under house arrest all her life, but it is only this day.

Claire’s face is in a trance, and her vision is almost blurred. Her dry lips are extremely pale, and her eyes are distracted by the absence of spirit.

As she walks out of the house, Claire looks up and sees Emma.

Emma is smiling and dressed up. She is wearing a red skirt and thin stockings. Red high heels make her look a lot taller in front of Claire.

“Mrs. Howard, I haven’t seen you in a day. Why are you so haggard?” Emma covers her red lips with her hands in an exaggerated way, pretending to be extremely surprised.

Claire stands by the door a little feebly. She looks coldly at Emma who looks down on her. “Emma, what else do you want to do? You’ve won. You’re Mrs. Howard. I don’t want to compete with you for this identity. Don’t think of me as your imaginary enemy!”

Emma stands with arms akimbo.

Even if Claire says that, she still doesn’t want to let her go. “Really? Yesterday you let me remember that you are the mistress of this house.”

Claire is biting her teeth. She says coldly, “Emma, don’t pester me. Don’t make me hurt you.”

Emma laughs, “Oh? You want to hurt me? I want to see what you, an old woman who is not liked, can do to hurt me.”

Emma deliberately touches her swollen cheek with her fingers. She slapped herself, but it cost Claire even more. It isn’t her injury, it is a sign of her victory.

Claire looks at her red and swollen face and gives a sneer.

Then Claire suddenly raises her hand weakly. She slaps Emma hard in the face.

There is a crisp sound.

Emma’s cheeks are red and swollen. It hurt even more when Claire slaps her.

Claire sneers. “Aren’t you trying to frame me? Didn’t you say I hit you? Then I hit you. Bitch.”

Emma looks at Claire with disbelief. The pain in her cheek makes her want to cry. She steps back, covering her face, “Bitch! You dare to hit me. You...”

Claire clenches her teeth and sneers, “don’t provoke me. I have warned you many times.”

Unfortunately, Leo, who just comes back, sees this scene.

Leo rushes to Emma. He touches Emma’s cheek with pity. He frowns and whispers, “are you OK, Emma.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Claire knows she is really unlucky this time. She hastily explains, “Leo, it’s not like that.”

“No? Claire, tell me what it’s not like?” Leo growls angrily, and then he says to his entourage, “Catch this bitch!”

Claire watches several tall black bodyguards come over. She has no strength to resist. She doesn’t even have the energy to explain. She is so weak that she will fall as soon as she loses her support.

Several bodyguards in black press Claire on the shoulder, holding her still.

Then Leo says to Emma who is sobbing, “I’m sorry. You’ve been wronged, but I won’t let her go this time. You can return what she did to you.”

“I’ve always been clear about rewards and penalties.” Leo stares at Claire coldly.

Emma doesn’t want to hit her at first, but Claire knows the woman can’t wait to slap her in the face.

Sure enough, after Leo persuades Emma, she goes to Claire and raises her hand.

Claire feels humiliated but she can’t move. She just closes her eyes.

Emma is not willing on the face, but in the heart she is very happy. She slaps Claire four or five times in a row.

Claire is biting her teeth. She vows that she will give these slaps back to Emma.

After a while, Claire opens her eyes. Her eyes are indifferent.

Leo suddenly gets nervous. He stops Emma. “Enough, Emma.”

Leo pulls Emma over.

Emma pretends to be innocent and says, “What’s the matter, Leo?”

Leo hesitates for a moment. He smiles softly, “Although this woman is very hateful, your hand will hurt if you continue to hit her.”

After that, Leo and Emma enter the room.

...

Claire goes back to her room. She doesn’t even know how she gets from the door to her bedroom. She has no idea how pathetic she is now.

She has hardly any thoughts. She sees the bed and falls directly on it.

Her weakness makes her shiver even more. She bends her knees and hugs her legs tightly. She curls up and falls asleep. It seems that her pain will be less in this way.

Claire doesn’t even know whether she is in a coma or sleeping. She just has a long dream and dreams that she is in the dark.

Cold, deep, endless darkness. There are many cold hands tearing at her clothes in the dark. They slap her in the face and trample on her. She has no dignity. She is played with like a stray dog that has been abandoned.

Finally, Claire is rescued by a phone call. After she is awakened, she still recalls the dream. The atmosphere of despair and terror still envelopes her.

It takes a long time for Claire to react and pick up the phone.

“Hello, Kate...”

Claire’s voice is hoarse. Kate on the other side of the phone is not comfortable after hearing her voice.

“Claire, what’s the matter with you? Why does your voice sound so weak?” Kate is worried about Claire.
