Chapter 229 Maybe because it was the weekend, the mall was crowded and noisy in the afternoon.
Cedrick parked at the entrance and frowned slightly as he observed the crowd hustling around. Miles
pushed the car door open, hopped onto the ground, and carefully led Catelyn out of the car.
Cedrick watched him scornfully.
Why hasn’t he realized that he was such a flatterer before this? Catelyn saw that Cedrick had no
intentions of getting out of the car and shopping with them. Perhaps it was because he was unhappy with
the previous incident where they got photographed together by the paparazzi at the convenience store.
She then said, “There are too many people at the mall. Just wait for us here. We will be right back.”
Cedrick’s frown remained, and he said nothing. The mother-son duo had not been to the mall together in
a very long time.
The boy dragged Catelyn into the mall. He could finally have some alone time with Catelyn without

Catelyn pushed the cart in one hand and stopped by the dairy section. “You pick out a box of cream
cheese here. I will be right back after getting a bag of flour.” “I promise to accomplish the mission!” Miles
raised his right hand high and bowed to Catelyn dramatically.
Catelyn giggled in amusement.
The mall was a sophisticated mall with a grand layout near the high-end residential area. The goods
were also mostly imported premium ones. Catelyn took a two-kilogram bag of flour and tossed it in the
cart, about to make her way back to Miles. Suddenly there was a furry husky scurrying through the gap
between her feet.
The husky dashed around recklessly, pushing Catelyn’s cart two feet away from her.
“Woof!”
Catelyn was worried that her cart would crash into someone and hurried to catch her cart. “Bailey.” A pair
of high heels clicked against the hard floor, followed by a woman’s voice calling the dog’s name.
The husky heard the command, turned around, and ran back to its owner.
Catelyn held the cart in one hand and then looked to the source of the voice. The woman wore a dress,
and a silk scarf was on her shoulders. She walked down the aisle with disdain on her face.
It was Maia.
Maia stopped before the husky and rubbed its fluffy head.
“Good boy, good job.”
Catelyn saw Maia, but she was not too interested in entertaining her. She wanted to walk past Maia, but
Maia, holding the dog leash, blocked her way by reaching her hand out.
“Catelyn, you must be delighted, aren’t you? You are now high and mighty and get people to help you to
buy tampons in the middle of the night. I have never met someone as shameless as you! Not only did
you snatch someone else’s fiance, but you are so upfront about it as if you were right all along. Where is

Catelyn took a brief glance at the fierce husky. “Ah, I see what it means by a pet’s behavior is a reflection
of its owner’s.”
Maia stared at her aggressively. If the mall were not as crowded as it was, she would have slapped
Catelyn across the face. “Well, you can’t even be compared to my dog! At least it knows who is in
charge! You carry my family’s surname while enjoying my family’s reputation but snatched my fiance!”
Catelyn looked at Maia’s ferocious expressions and smiled lightly.
“When my father declared bankruptcy, the ones who laughed the loudest were apparently the Clarks.
Miss Clark, you pretend to be sweet and empathetic in front of Miss Coleman. Did she know that you are
in fact such a cunning and aggressive person?” Her tone was monotonous and emotionless, as if talking
about the weather, which made what she said even more infuriating!
