Chapter 624
Betty looked at Catelyn with visible disgust on her face.
If she and Jason had not seen Catelyn entering the supermarket earlier, they would have never entered such a crowded place on their own.
Jason gave Catelyn a gentle smile. "Long time no see, Kitty."
'Kitty'? Since when were they on good terms with one another?
"If you have anything to say, just say it already," said Catelyn expressionlessly.
Jason cleared his throat and looked at Catelyn. "We want to acknowledge you as our goddaughter."
This caught Catelyn off-guard as she looked at them both in astonishment. "Are the Clarks so short of daughters now?" she asked.
Betty raised her chin arrogantly. "Just accept it. Do you even know what a big privilege it is to be the second lady of the Clark family?"
"Hmm... How about no?" Catelyn looked slightly cold.
The hatred in Betty's eyes was so obvious. Her temples throbbed wildly as she looked at Catelyn with resentment.
"You little..." she hissed. If it was not for Maia, Betty would not even look at Catelyn!
Jason quickly smiled apologetically to Catelyn. "Kitty, to show you my sincerity and adoration, I'll transfer five percent of the Clark Group shares to your name."
Catelyn smiled but did not answer. There must be more to this.
Sure enough, Jason added, "However, I need you to do me a favor. Maia is weak, and I'm afraid she's unable to endure the hardships in prison."
There it was. Everything was all for Maia's sake!
"I'm sorry, Mister Clark," replied Catelyn, "but my father only gave birth to me, his only daughter. I don't have a sister."
Second lady of the Clark family? Please!
She remembered the moments when Ezekiel was on the verge of bankruptcy, and he went to Jason for help.
However, Jason did not even let him in, and he even got security to chase him away!
Her father was thrown out of the door, breaking his tailbone in the process.
Jason's expression faltered upon hearing Catelyn's reply.
He was a dignified member of the Clarks, yet he was talked down by this puny girl!
Before he could say anything, he saw Cedrick walking out from the opposite aisle.
"Master Cedrick? You're here at the supermarket as well? what a coincidence," greeted Jason immediately.
