The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 576

Augus' head was knocked so hard it swung sideways like a broken bobblehead. He didn't fight back, just hung his head low like he was done for, letting Brandon go to town on him. He even threw in the towel to Brandon, saying, "Just finish me off, man. I'll go apologize to Director Yearwood in person. Too bad, I won't get the chance to drag Marian down with me for a joint funeral."

His words only added fuel to Brandon's fire. Grabbing his collar tighter, Brandon landed another savage punch.

Kent quickly stepped in to pull Brandon back, "Mr. Crawley, this guy ain't worth the prison time."

Brandon gave him a cold glance and suddenly let go of Augus' collar.

"I'm leaving him to you," with those chilly words, Brandon turned on his heel and stormed out.

Kent, sensing his change of expression and assuming he might go after Marian, called out in a panic, "Mr. Crawley, where are you off to?"

Brandon didn't bother to respond, just left him with the sight of his back, quickly swallowed by the night. The winter wind was howling, making his knee-length coat flap wildly.

Kent was freaking out inside but couldn't just abandon Augus. He whipped out his phone and called Martin, the one who knew where Marian lived, "Mr. Frost, Mr. Crawley might be heading for Marian. Looks like he's about to flip his lid; you gotta stop him."

Martin was swamped with work at home but his expression tensed up when he heard the news, "What's going on with him?"

"No time to explain, just get moving already." Kent urged, "Mr. Crawley could seriously take Marian out, no joke!"

"I'm on my way," Martin hung up and dashed downstairs.
