The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 599

"This is the designer's profile," Kent said.

Brandon snatched it up, flipping through it at lightning speed, his eyes scanning the text on the pages just as quickly.

When the name "Arlene" popped up, his brows furrowed instantly, and his hands swiftly flipped through a few more pages, but he found no mention of Sophia.

Watching Brandon's frown deepening, a mix of confusion and disappointment weaving across his handsome face, Kent noticed how Brandon's grip on the materials didn't wane, as he kept rifling through the pages, determined to dig out any trace of Sophia from the documents.

"Don had his suspicions about the designer's identity when he saw the design proposal this afternoon. He called me up to ask about the designer," Kent shared. "Then I reached out to President Poe, and he provided me with a brief on the designer."

"I had someone look into Arlene based on that info, and what you've got there is the most detailed report we've managed to pull together on her so far," Kent added.

Brandon's frown deepened, and he glanced at the papers in his hand.

According to the documents, apart from her age and college major, which were similar to Sophia's, there was nothing else that linked Arlene to her.

She was also from Zenitha, but she went abroad for high school and also attended university overseas.

Her family had a bit of a reputation back home, big house, big business - she seemed like a girl who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. But looking at her schooling, it didn't quite fit - she didn't even live with her family.

"She's got a twin sister named Audrey Bright, who, rumor has it, married into the Ferber family four years ago, tying the knot with Harvey Ferber," Kent mentioned.

Brandon's brows knitted together, and he looked at Kent.
