Chapter 560

"He's not home, what happened?"

Mr. Evert was somewhat baffled by Brandon's behavior, unsure what was going down between the two.

"Where did he go?"

Brandon looked at him, "I need to see him."

"He doesn't live here," Mr. Evert said. "He bought another place, and typically just swings by on weekends."

"Did he come back this weekend?" Brandon asked.

Mr. Evert shook his head: "He doesn't come back every weekend. His mother is pressuring him to get married, so sometimes he just doesn't bother returning home..."

"Where does he live?" Brandon cut him off.

Mr. Evert, seeing Brandon's tight face, started to worry if Ivan had stirred up some trouble, and couldn't help but nervously ask, "What do you need him for?"

"I'm looking for someone," Brandon replied directly and plainly. "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause him trouble."

Mr. Evert had worked with Brandon for many years and they had a good relationship. Trusting Brandon's character and temperament, Mr. Evert promptly gave Brandon Ivan's address, assured by Brandon's clarification that he wasn't looking for trouble.

"Could you give me the key to his place?"

Brandon said, not believing he'd get any response by knocking on Ivan's door.
