The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 407

The hospital was just a stone's throw away from the office, not even a 5-minute walk.

Daniel had a brain hemorrhage right there at work and was rushed to the closest hospital by ambulance for emergency care.

Brandon didn't even have time to get his car. As soon as he stepped out of the hospital, he flagged down a cab right off the curb.

"The Starlight Group, please."

The cabby shot him a puzzled look and said, "Just hoof it around the corner, and you're there."

"Just drive," Brandon said, fishing out a hundred from his wallet. "Step on it, please."

The man had the car parked under the Starlight Group building in less than two minutes.

Brandon handed over the cash without waiting for change and bolted out of the cab.

He strode into the lobby with purpose, catching the busy receptionist and security off guard. They barely managed a greeting before he breezed past them.

Brandon swiped his access card and zipped up to the 17th floor.

As soon as the elevator doors slid open, he spotted the noisy crowd.

Aaron was being held back by Don, struggling and shouting at him, "I'm her biological brother, and I'm gonna give that girl a piece of my mind today. She's been too spoiled."

After his rant, he turned to Sophia, who hadn't recovered from the shock, and bellowed, "You, come here, I have some questions for you."
