Chapter 998 -998: Clayton Howard’s Indifference

Having lunch she could hardly swallow, coupled with her lingering doubts, Audrey Sawyer took out her cell phone and suddenly thought he must have already bought a new phone by now, so she took the opportunity to dial the number that had been turned off.

When she heard the ringing tone inside, a flicker of excitement passed through Audrey’s heart—it was good that the phone could get through!

She was scared, so very scared, scared that she would lose her significance in his heart, scared that he would come to dislike her forever!

The phone rang a few times, and finally it was answered, and thus she heard that long-missed and familiar deep voice.

“Hello? Big Brother Howard!”

Hearing Audrey’s voice, Clayton Howard’s tone was somewhat subdued.

“What’s up?”

His three words caught Audrey off guard, bringing a slight sense of loss.

She had been injured and hospitalized, and he hadn’t visited her in the past two days. Now that she had finally managed to give him a call, he asked her such an indifferent question, “What’s up?”

Indeed, she had nothing important; she just missed him.

Audrey’s face dimmed slightly, and her tone followed suit.

“No, nothing. I just wanted to ask what Big Brother Howard is doing. You haven’t been to the hosp—”

“I’m busy. I’ll call you back in a little while.” Without letting her finish, Clayton, seemingly really busy, simply hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Audrey was taken aback and stared at her cell phone for half a moment.

She was already on edge, and now she felt even more unsettled hearing his cold tone.

Or could it be that he was really busy?

Meanwhile.

Inside another top-rated hospital.

In Aiden Bewell’s hospital room, all the family members had gathered.

Of course, Clayton Howard was no exception, having come along with the Walker Family.

“Who are you to speak for them?” Looking at the man before her whom she was not very familiar with, Mrs. Bewell did not offer a pleasant expression, always maintaining her haughty and proud demeanor, looking down on the Walker Family Members.

Knowing that she was Aiden Bewell’s mother, Clayton, of course, faced her with cold indifference.

“You don’t need to know who I am.”

Being shut down like that, Mrs. Bewell, with her arms crossed, clearly did not expect such a rebuff. After all, it was the Walker Family who were in the wrong, so why should a stranger who appeared from nowhere talk to her with such arrogance?

“You!” Confronted with his icy demeanor, Mrs. Bewell was for once at a loss for words.

Who was this man? He seemed like a figure of significance, given his bearing, but the Bewell Family also was prominent; how could she never have heard of him?

Although Clayton Howard often accompanied Baron Stuart to various occasions, the social-climbing Mrs. Bewell naturally would not recognize someone like him, and since she rarely met Baron Stuart, she was even less familiar with Clayton.

On the other hand, Franklin Bewell found this man increasingly familiar.

It took him a while before he remembered—wasn’t this Mr. Howard, a man from Young Lord’s side?

Why was he here? Could it be that even Baron Stuart from Futuren Group was getting involved in this matter?

“You’re Mr. Howard, right?” Out of respect for Baron Stuart, Franklin Bewell naturally extended three parts courtesy to Clayton.

After all, no one could afford to offend a man like Baron Stuart.

And this Mr. Howard was no ordinary person; it was best for them to tread carefully.

Turning his eyes, Clayton glanced at Franklin Bewell, his face still cold.

Then he raised his hand and lifted the folder in his hand, looking towards Aiden Bewell on the hospital bed.
