The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 588

Harvey Ferber didn't want to say much about it, so he just smiled and said, "It's a personal matter."

Then he quickly shifted the conversation back to the surveillance footage. "I thought I saw an old friend of mine in your mall earlier and I'd like to check the cameras to confirm if I was mistaken. Could you help me out, Mr. Crawley?"

Brandon nodded, "Of course."

He then turned to Kent. "Kent, can you take Mr. Ferber and Clark to check it out?"

Kent nodded, "Sure thing, Mr. Crawley."

Brandon turned to Harvey Ferber with an apologetic look. "Mr. Ferber, I need to take my daughter home to rest, so I can't join you. If you need anything, just ask Kent."

"Thank you, Mr. Crawley."

Harvey Ferber thanked him politely, his gaze shifting from Brandon's face to Theresa, who looked a bit puzzled.

Brandon, holding Theresa, headed for the exit without noticing Harvey Ferber's thoughtful expression.

Theresa did notice and curiously glanced at Harvey Ferber.

Harvey Ferber gave her a gentle smile but said nothing, though his eyes followed Brandon's retreating figure with a contemplative look.

Kent, having just finished up with Susan, approached Harvey Ferber and Clark with a smile, unaware of Harvey Ferber's mood. "Mr. Ferber, Clark, let's go."

Harvey Ferber snapped out of his thoughts, nodded at Kent, and said, "Thanks, Kent."

Together, they headed to the surveillance room.

Outside the mall, in the plaza

Sophia stood there, staring blankly at the imposing logo of "West District Sky Mall," looking a bit lost and confused.

"What's wrong?"

Amanda, noticing Sophia's distant demeanor, asked with concern.
