Chapter 230 Maia was so annoyed that her eyes were bulging with blood vessels.
The corners of Catelyn’s lips curved up as she said, unbothered, “Right, a week ago, I saw a couple
walking into the International Grand Hotel… Hmm, the woman resembled you so much.
Maia snapped defensively, “What are you talking about? I had never been to the International Grand
Hotel! How dare you make false accusations!” “Looks like I have recognized the wrong person then. She
looked so much like you, and I even took a photo of her. Do you want to have a look?” Maia’s pupils
constricted in fear. Her poised appearance could no longer remain composed. Catelyn watched her
reaction and smiled lightly, then patted her shoulders. “Anyone can humiliate me, except you, because
you don’t qualify to.” Then, she did not even leave room for rebuttal, turned and pushed her cart, and

However, as soon as she looked up, she froze.
Cedrick had entered the mall and stood right behind the rack near them.
Step by step, he walked toward them with one hand in his pocket. He casually made his way through as
though he was taking a stroll. His pair of sharp eyes looked ruthless and were eyeing Maia like a hawk.
Maia saw Catelyn stopping after taking just a few steps and turned to take a peek out of curiosity. She
was instantly petrified. “Ced… Cedrick, why are you here?”
Cedrick walked to Catelyn emotionlessly and took the cart over naturally. “What took you so long to get a
bag of flour? Let’s go. We will see what else we need.”
He did not even look at Maia.
Maia’s face was pale, and she wondered how much of the conversation he had heard. “Cedrick, it was
not like what you think. I had a small conflict with Cat, and I did not mean what I said.” She tried to save
the situation by explaining, but the more she tried to, the messier it sounded.
Catelyn saw clearly that Cedrick’s eyes were emotionless and cold when he shifted his gaze onto Maia.
It was hard to read whether he was angry or not. Maia’s heart wrenched, her scalp was numb, and she
was shivering. She felt guilty seeing his reaction.
Just when she could no longer hold it in, Cedrick suddenly paused and said, “We’ll be speaking
during the meeting tomorrow morning. Don’t be late.”
The cart was taken over by Cedrick, and Catelyn stood idly next to him. She secretly observed his facial
expressions… It did not look like he was suppressing his anger. Maybe he did not even care what she

That was great. Since she had already run into enough trouble, she did not want to get involved between
the two of them anymore. “Don’t you hate the crowd in the mall? Why are you here?” Catelyn smiled and
asked. Cedrick’s face looked extra grim under the blinding lights of the mall. “Here to remind you to get a
few things.” “Which ones?”
Cedrick did not reply but answered her through his actions.
He brought her to the toiletries section.
Rows of toothbrushes, toothpaste, and personal care, lined up on the racks. Catelyn understood it
instantly.
She promised to stay over at the Mason Estate tonight, and since there was no mistress in the Estate,
there were naturally no toiletries for one.
