“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 natural.
“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.
