The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 573

Brandon drove straight to Martin's place.

Louis Frost and the rest of the Frost family were there, each looking listless and drained of spirit. They lacked not only the joy they felt when they mistakenly thought Marian was their family member but also the calm demeanor they usually maintained.

This was Brandon's first drop-in since he had busted Marian's scheme.

As Brandon walked in, a trace of brightness appeared on Louis's previously lifeless face, and he immediately stood up anxiously: "Brandon, you're here. Do you have any news about Yoli?"

Brandon gave him a glance, then looked upstairs: "I'm here to see Martin."

The hope on Louis's face immediately faded, and he weakly pointed upstairs. "He's up there, in the study."

As he drew his arm back, he couldn't help but give Brandon a look of desperation: "You sure you don't have no news at all?"

Gerald Frost and Rachel Frost, who had been listlessly scrolling on their phones, perked up with anticipation at Brandon's arrival.

Brandon didn't want to answer that question.

"I'll go see Martin first."

No sooner had he spoken than Martin emerged from the study.

Brandon gave him a glance and took the stairs two at a time: "I want to see the full surveillance footage."

Martin nodded slightly and turned back into the study. Brandon followed him.

Martin's computer was playing all the surveillance videos and eavesdropping recordings—not just the conversation between Marian and Augus in the car today, but all the stuff from the past few days.
