The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 415

Ivan couldn't help but glance at the big screen, and the familiar design style made him frown a bit, then he turned to look at Sophia.

Sophia looked a bit tense, her eyes already shifting from the big screen to Marian on stage.

Marian seemed flustered, fumbling to hit the keyboard. But probably because she was so frazzled, she missed the keys and even managed to knock over the water bottle next to the computer.

It was a tiny move, but it still made the applause from the audience die down a bit, everyone looking at Marian with puzzled faces.

Martin was also puzzled by Marian's blunder, but considering all the eyes and cameras on him, he gave everyone a sheepish smile, turned to the side, and began pointing at the render on the big screen with a laser pointer, saying.

"Actually, we've been toying with the idea of building this manor for years, but just couldn't find the right designer for the job. Just so happens, my little sis came back from abroad this year after graduating from a top-notch architecture school. She was eager to show some love to my grandpa and grandma, so it was a match made in heaven. She took on the challenge of designing the vacation manor all by herself."

"I'd like to ask Ms. Barlow, what was your mindset when you designed this piece?"

Brandon's voice suddenly cut through the crowd, clear and strong, interrupting Martin's spiel.

Sophia looked over in surprise at the sound, only then noticing Brandon standing up in the crowd.

Brandon's handsome face was cool as ice, his gaze toward the stage sharp and piercing.

Theresa was still in his arms, her big beautiful eyes looking confusedly at the big screen, the more she looked, the more puzzled she became.

Louis was already thrown for a loop by Brandon's sudden move, quickly stood up and whispered to him, "Let's talk about this in private, the press are interviewing right now."

Brandon ignored him, his eyes still fixed intently on Marian, who was now pale, calling her out, "Ms. Barlow, is something the matter?"

"I-I..."

Marian was stuttering, completely panicked and at a loss for words.
