Chapter 335
“Maddie, you’re really clingy.” Ellie’s comment made me a bit embarrassed. But she then added playfully,” But I really like it.”
“Kid, you’re so annoying,” I teased, giving her a mock scolding. She burst into giggles.
I stepped out of the ward and glanced down the corridor. It was empty.
Since Ellie mentioned that Brandon was taking a call, he had to have gone somewhere less crowded. After a moment of thought, I headed toward the emergency stairs.
As I approached, I heard Brandon’s voice.
“The car repair shop is gone, but the mechanics should still be around. Find a way to track them down… Of course, it’s necessary. I need to clear things up with Madeline and clear my father’s name.”
My heart tightened slightly upon hearing this.
Over the past few days, I had been debating whether to investigate the brake issue from the accident further. But it seemed that he was already doing that.
As soon as he finished the call, I was about to approach him when his phone rang again, so I stopped.
The door to the emergency stairs was slightly ajar. I saw Brandon holding a cigarette between his fingers as he answered the phone, “You’re back… Yes, we came together… What? Things are stalled without us?
“I know. There’s no need for you to come. It’s already suspicious enough… It won’t delay anything. I’m still working on the code…”
I was very familiar with what he was saying. It was related to the company’s matters. So, was the person on the phone Xander?
The way Brandon spoke was exactly how Xander’s boss would.
The wealthy man from the Howell family…
It seemed… that I had been deceived.
But he had assured me that he wouldn’t lie.
Could there be something that he was keeping from me?
