Chapter 622

Kent just told me how Brandon's been holed up in Sophia's tiny studio for a full day and night, not eating or drinking anything since he saw that body bloated like a giant pickle. Today, he forced himself to go to West District High for the science museum donation in Sophia's name. I didn't realize he wasn't just putting on a brave face - he's completely lost his marbles.

I saw the same worry in Kent's eyes.

I gestured to Kent with a crooked finger, signaling him to pass me his phone.

Kent handed me the phone, looking anxious.

Without hesitation, I put it on speaker.

"Brandon, it's me, Don," I softened my voice without even realizing it, "Are you still at school? I'll come find you..."

"Let Kent take the call," Brandon cut me off sharp and cold.

Through the icy tone, I could faintly hear the sound of a car door opening.

I wanted to say more, but Kent stopped me with a raised hand and spoke in a calming tone, "Mr. Crawley, alright. I'll get on it right away."

"I want results within an hour!"

Brandon was about to hang up when Kent quickly said, "Okay, Mr. Crawley. Are you at the school right now? I'll come to you."

"Just handle your business."
