Although he wiped away her tears, his answer left a void in her heart.
It was clear that he simply refused to believe her, choosing instead to ignore the situation.
“Clayton Howard…” Her heart ached as she spoke, her voice trembling.
Yet he released her and turned to walk towards the car.
He didn’t disbelieve her, he just wanted to calm himself down and think through the issue properly.
Perhaps, it was really just Yale Shaw pestering her? That was the only comfort he could give himself.
After all, given the past incidents, he was well aware of Yale Shaw’s character. Regarding her, Shaw was always entwined in her affairs, nearly ruining her on several occasions.
But even so, why did she still come into contact with him? Today at the banquet, she even wanted to dance with him, and now they were on the phone together!
This made it impossible for his heart to calm down.
Maybe once he got home, he could settle his thoughts and properly contemplate the issue.
Watching the fading taillights of his car, Camila Walker felt as though her heart was being carved with a knife; she had never felt as helpless and heartbroken as she did at this moment…
That night, it seemed neither of them slept, their eyes open until daylight…
The next morning.
Seeing her daughter’s swollen eyes, Angela Reid couldn’t help but be astonished and asked with concern, “Camila, what happened to you?”
Looking at her mother’s shocked expression, Camila Walker lowered her eyelids, “It’s nothing, I’m heading to the company now.”
Having said that, she went straight towards the direction of the front door.
Angela Reid was taken aback and called out as she watched her daughter’s retreating figure, “Aren’t you going to have breakfast?”
“No thanks, I’m not very hungry.”
With her reply, the figure of Camila Walker disappeared at the grand entrance gate.
Angela Reid was filled with confusion—could it be that she argued with Clayton Howard?
But that didn’t make sense. Clayton Howard was on a business trip to the United Kingdom, what could have happened to cause such a fight?
Clayton Howard had hurried back last night, something of which Angela Reid was naturally unaware.
One whole day passed, and until she got off work, Camila Walker was somewhat absent-minded, her work performance not up to par.

Normally at this time, he would have called her, but today there was no such phone call…
And Clayton Howard was also completely off his game throughout the day.
“Clayton Howard?” Baron Stuart looked at Clayton Howard beside him in the meeting room; this was the second time he had called out to him.
In the past, Howard would never have made him call out a second time, nor would he have allowed himself to be so distracted during working hours.
Howard snapped back to reality and realized that everyone at the conference table was waiting for the document in his hand. Hurrying to regain his composure, he placed the document in front of Baron Stuart.
Baron Stuart slightly lifted his eyes, his expression somewhat stern.
He didn’t like people being absent-minded during work.
Aware of Baron Stuart’s stern gaze, Clayton Howard nodded slightly, “My apologies, Young Master.”
“Don’t let it happen again.”
“Yes.”
After this incident, Howard once again immersed himself in work.
In truth, Baron Stuart had really given him a lot of leeway. Had it been anybody else, they might have already faced a scolding or even been fired on the spot!
5:30 PM
After leaving work, Camila Walker had just reached the company building entrance when her cell phone began to ring.
After a whole day of anticipation, she thought it was Clayton Howard calling and eagerly pulled out the phone from her bag.
However, upon seeing the unfamiliar number, her expression froze, and she stood paralyzed in place.
A few seconds later, she resolutely declined Yale Shaw’s call and, keeping her phone in hand, headed towards the parking lot.
But hardly had she taken a few steps, the phone rang once more. She intended to hang up again, but then she saw it was Clayton Howard calling.
