"My two beautiful nieces together in one place. My dear brother would be happy to see this family reunion. Why do you look so surprised to see me, mother?" Clark grinned, finding his mother and Katrina's reaction to be priceless. Neither one of them thought to invite him but he was lucky to hear the gossip in time. "You didn't think I would miss such an important meeting, did you? When news about Desmond spread, I just had to show up.'"
"You were supposed to be back home," Greta said, annoyed by his visit. Clark would only worsen the situation since he didn't know when to shut his mouth. "Do not step foot inside this court, Clark."
"I would love to be an obedient child and listen to your request but I already made the court aware that I am coming. It would be rude for me not to show up when they are already expecting me. You didn't raise me to be rude," Clark replied. One way or the other, he was going to get something out of this meeting.
