Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad

Chapter 44 Banquets, Mishaps

After a while, Claire Bennett is dressed and brought downstairs by the maid.

Claire Bennett is wearing a white dress with a well-cut waist, which sets off her slender and tall figure. The front of the dress is carefully designed patterns and the needles are delicate but pure manual production which highlights her good shape.

Claire Bennett is in good shape and the dress is tailor-made for her. Every detail is handled very well.

The maid puts up Claire Bennett’s hair. Her two strands of hair hang down at random on both sides of her forehead and makes her very charming. The back of her hair is more dignified and decent.

Plus Claire Bennett is a beauty. She just wears a light makeup, which is very attractive.

Leo Howard looks at Claire Bennett in front of him. He is somewhat surprised. There is no way to hide the amazement in his eyes. This woman... She usually does not dress up. She dresses up so beautifully today. It’s amazing!

Seeing Leo Howard looking at her, Claire Bennett smiles and asks, “Do I look good in this way? Is it pretty? And where are we going?”

He did not expect her to be so beautiful. The thought that she was so attractive in front of others and that her first man wasn’t him makes Leo Howard’s eyebrows wrinkle and his face suddenly turns cold. A sour feeling rushes into his heart. Instead of paying attention to Claire Bennett, he hums and turns away.

Seeing Leo Howard’s reaction, Claire Bennett spits out her tongue and steps on the heel of a ten- centimeter high-heeled shoe.

The maid next to her sees that the weather outside seems to be getting a little gloomy so she takes a coat and hands it to Claire Bennett.

Claire Bennett is in a hurry and doesn’t catch it.

Claire Bennett goes to the door of the car and someone opens it for her. Claire Bennett looks inside unconsciously and sees Leo Howard closing his eyes as if he is on a break or sleeping.

Claire Bennett sees that the weather is really bad. After thinking about it, she turns back to the villa and takes the coat that the maid just gave her. Then she plans to put it on Leo Howard.

Claire Bennett returns to the car. She looks at Leo Howard and carefully trys to put the coat on him. He suddenly opens his eyes. He grabs Claire Bennett’s wrist and says coldly, “What do you want to do?”

Claire Bennett is shocked by the action of Leo Howard. She shakes her head and explains, “No, I don’t want to do anything. I just look out at the gloomy weather. It’s going to change soon. I’m afraid you’ll catch cold !”

Claire Bennett’s tone is innocent but Leo Howard says, “I don’t care what you want to do. But you shouldn’t do it. Don’t meddle.”

Leo Howard’s voice is very low. He looks at Claire Bennett but he keeps telling himself in his heart, “She’s the daughter of that man.” She’s a slut who’s not even a virgin!

Claire Bennett chokes at Leo Howard’s words. Hearing his merciless warning, she pouts her lips and sits aside without speaking.

This odious man mistakes her goodwill for ill intent. She just sincerely wants to take care of him but doesn’t expect to let him so disgusted. It is ridiculous. He’d better freeze to death.

When the car starts, the coat is still in Leo Howard’s hands. After a while, Claire Bennett feels a little cold.

Claire Bennett sneezes suddenly and Leo Howard frowns before noticing her.

Leo Howard throws the coat directly to her. He says sarcastically, “First you learn to take care of yourself, then you think about how to take care of others!”

Claire Bennett wipes her lips and says nothing. They go to the hotel where the banquet is held.

The decoration of this large chain hotel is very luxurious. The magnificent hall and the golden gate complement each other. The hall is covered with red carpets. The softness of the carpets is not inferior to that of their villa.

Claire Bennett looks around at the furnishings. Every piece of furniture is of great value.

Leo Howard expresses his disdain for Claire Bennett’s actions and says coldly, “Come on, we’re late. Let’s get in!”

Then he asks Claire Bennett to take his arm and they go into the banquet together.

At the banquet, there are many people who know and greet Leo Howard. He nods to them while Claire Bennett is a little reserved.

Leo Howard pauses and says to her, “Go around and have a look first. I’ll come to see you later.” Claire Bennett’s hand is released.

Claire Bennett has to walk around the banquet by herself. She has nothing to do but eat.

She watches the people around her talking and laughing. She wears high heels for too long and feels a little uncomfortable so she wants to find a place to sit down and rest. But all around are places where drinks are placed. Claire Bennett watches for a long time without finding a place to rest.

Claire Bennett sighs and retreats to the corner. She leans against the wall and rests for a moment.

Suddenly, a woman comes up from a distance.

The woman is wearing a long red dress with jewelry on her body. She looks a bit upstart and her makeup is a bit tacky.

When the woman sees Claire Bennett and looks up and down at her, she realizes that Claire Bennett is more beautiful than her. She is jealous and unhappy and says, “Don’t you understand the rules of the banquet? Is this where you can lean?”

Claire Bennett is stupefied. It is a little strange. She just takes a break in the corner. How could that happen?

Claire Bennett has always been a quiet woman. She glances at the woman, smiles and says sorry. Then she turns to leave.

However, the woman refuses to stop. She takes a step forward and blocks Claire Bennett’s way. “What’s wrong? I said only one word and you’re leaving. Can’t you listen to it? I’m a straight talker. You’re really pampered!”

Claire Bennett is speechless and puzzled so she says sorry again before she plans to leave.

“I haven’t finished yet. Why are you leaving so soon? You are rude. You must be the kind of woman who seduces men. Tell me, how many men do you want to seduce here when you dress like this today?” The woman glances at Claire Bennett and says disdainfully.

Her words are very unpleasant and her voice is very loud. Suddenly several people around look at Claire Bennett.
