The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 580

Chapter 575

The moment the car door slammed shut, the vehicle took off like a shot out of a cannon.

Augus had no clue where Brandon and Kent were taking him or what they were up to. He didn't dare to ask. His hands nervously twisted together on his lap, and he sat close to the car door, not daring to get too cozy with Brandon, let alone ask out loud.

Brandon didn't make a peep either, sitting up straight and proper, his handsome face calm yet imposing, with an aura that was downright suffocating.

In the face of such a Brandon, Augus didn't dare twitch a muscle; the psychological pressure was cranked up to the max with no outlet in sight. And neither Brandon nor Kent were giving him any room to breathe.

Kent floored it, the car's speed escalating by the second. Neither of them uttered a word the whole way.
