Although Clyde was Martin's subordinate, he was quite a big shot and respected figure in the country, outside of the Howards!
The fact that Brad was speaking to him so rudely when he was a junior made Clyde very annoyed.
Brad's subordinate, who knew Clyde's strength, hurriedly said to Clyde, "Simmer down, Mr. Howard is just flustered. He doesn't mean anything else."
Clyde humphed coldly and left.
After Clyde walked out of the ward, his subordinate said in confusion, "Mr. Howard, Clyde has always been away from DC and never shows up easily. Why did he suddenly return to DC today?"
Brad was puzzled, too. "Yeah, this guy is my grandfather's trump card. He usually comes back only when something big happens in DC."
His subordinate seemed to have thought of something and said, "I think I heard someone saying that there was a commotion at the airport just now. Surely he isn't here because of this, right?"
