Chapter 472

"Go ahead and eat; I gotta go."

Kent was still hung up on what Sophia had mentioned to him. After saying goodbye to Brandon and Sophia, he grabbed his tray and bolted.

As returning his tray, Kent bumped into Marian, who had also just finished eating.

Kent replied politely, not really knowing her well - just enough for casual hellos.

Marian was in the same boat, barely knowing Kent, other than him being one of Brandon's crew. A simple nod was all their acquaintance merited.

Marian paused in her tracks, looking a bit puzzled.

Kent, completely focused on the phone, said, "Alright, alright, I'll double-check, see if he was taken to another police station."
