Catelyn arranged the model she had bought for Miles to be sent and patted her son on the head. “Wait
here for Mommy, and don’t wander around. I need to go to the washroom.”
“Yes, your majesty!” Miles did not want to take off his sunglasses and simply curtsied his mother.
Amused, Catelyn turned and went to the washroom, only to bump into someone around the corner.
“I’m sorry—!”
An overwhelming scent of Grand Extrait Gardenia perfume attacked her, and because her nose
happened to feel itchy at the time, she could not help but sneeze while apologizing.
Though she managed to cover her mouth in time, she could not stop the splatter of her saliva. She
blushed awkwardly and apologized once again, her lashes fluttering as she did.
It had been so long since she smelt this perfume. Before the Clark family went bankrupt, this was her
favorite because of how extravagant it was. At present, however, she preferred something more

“What’s wrong with you? Can’t you see where you’re going?” Maia looked at the stain on her dress and
barked mercilessly, “Do you know how much this dress—wait, Catelyn?”
Catelyn pulled out a wet tissue to wipe her mouth and realized the woman before her was Maia.
Dressed in the latest Gacci dress with her hand on a limited-edition purse from Hermis, her high heels
made with crystal, Maia looked glorious covered in luxury brands.
The Clark family was also one of the most powerful families in Sapphire City. Catelyn belonged to one
of the collateral bloodlines, and Maia was a lady of the main bloodline.
The two of them studied in the same class back in university. Though they were relatives, their
relationship had been distant. Ever since Ezekiel disappeared, she had never seen anyone from her
past social circle, knowing that no one would help and that most would rather rub salt onto her wound.
Regardless, Catelyn did not expect to see Maia in this mall.
Maia scanned Catelyn from head to toe, noticing that she was dressed incredibly plain with not one
luxury item on her person. If Catelyn was to stand in a crowd, she would not stand out at all apart from
the fact that she had a face that looked better than most.
Maia instantly toned down on her aggressiveness and smiled graciously, before reaching out to hold
Catelyn’s hands.
“I can’t believe it’s you. I’ve lost touch with you for the past four years! I heard that Jamie canceled the
arrangement between you two. Are you doing alright?”
Her tone was light as a feather, but though she did not make any sarcastic remarks about Catelyn’s
situation, her words were said with a sense of superiority.
Catelyn had already gotten used to all these comments; she had heard things far worse than what
Maia had said. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear carelessly and said, “I’m doing fine, thank
you.”

“If you need help in any way, come find me. I won’t turn you away!”
‘Tsk! Speaking like I’m going to live like a stray dog without the help of the Clarks,’ Catelyn mused to
herself before her lips curled into a perfectly confident smile. “Sure. You can come to me for help as
well, if you need anything.”
The smile on Maia’s face froze. “You’re funny. What could I possibly need your help with?”
“So do you need me to compensate for this dress?”
“It’s fine, this only costs around a million. Even the amount I casually give off to charity will be more
than that.”
“It’s nice that you’re doing charity. The old master of the Clark family must be overjoyed.” Catelyn
pointed at the washroom and continued, “I’m kind of in a hurry, so I’ll go in first. Let’s keep in touch.”
Maia watched as Catelyn left and snorted. Disgust filled her face instantly when she lowered her gaze
at the dress she was wearing, thinking, ‘How unlucky. It’s kind of funny to see Catelyn Clark, the girl
once referred to as the prettiest girl on campus, turning into a joke.’
