The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 570

Harvey Ferber looked at Brandon.

Brandon took a peek at his phone; it was a call from Martin Frost.

Brandon hung up without a second thought.

Harvey Ferber smiled, "Mr. Crawley, make yourself at home, no need for formalities here."

"It's alright."

Brandon said nonchalantly, his phone already pocketed.

Harvey Ferber noticed something was off in Brandon's expression, but tactfully did not inquire further; instead, he changed the topic.

------------------------

On the other end of the line, Martin, suddenly cut off by Brandon, couldn't help but frown. His fingers caressing his phone, he hesitated whether to give Brandon another ring.

As a fellow business leader, he got that sometimes people can't take calls, but right now...

Martin's gaze shifted to his phone still on speaker mode.

The phone was playing a conversation between Marian Barlow and Augus in the car.

Marian had come back under the identity of Yolanda Frost, and the car she was now driving was provided by him. He had installed a bug in the car.

The car’s dashcam had been secretly connected to his phone app after Brandon had reminded him to keep an eye on Marian.

Any activity related to the car would notify him through the app.

Martin had been tied up in a meeting and hadn't noticed the notifications on his phone at first.

Only after the meeting did he have a chance to check this phone, and to his surprise, he saw Augus getting into the car and, even more surprisingly, their conversation:

"That day, you pressured me for your father's plan – intending to use someone else to do the dirty work, huh? Clever, very clever."

This included Brandon and Harvey Ferber.

Yet beneath this discreet probing lay a sense of forthrightness.

Within such forthrightness, the topic naturally gravitated toward the dock issues and today's main course.

"Mr. Crawley, I've studied the Starlight Group's business empire, and it seems your focus is more on industrial and tertiary sectors, with limited development in freight. Aurora Wharf can't really play its part in the hands of Starlight Group; it seems more of a burden. How about you do us a solid and let the Ferber Group take it off your hands?"

While leading Brandon toward the scenic restaurant, Harvey Ferber spoke as if casually.

“Although freight may be a weak spot for Starlight Group, we've always been interested in advancing in this regard. Mr. Ferber, you've got a wealth of experience in freight and shipping; how about you throw us a bone and offer some assistance?"

Brandon replied just as casually, walking alongside Harvey Ferber toward the hall. As they turned a corner, it was impossible not to catch a glimpse of the hospital sign at the end of the corridor.

The hospital doors were closed tight, and the entrance was deserted.
