The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 564

"I have no clue." The informant was Gordon, who was arranged by Marian in advance, "I suddenly received the information, saying he is currently on his way to the Moonlight Resort & Spa, and he should arrive in about half an hour."

"Is he crazy? Coming to find me at this time? Are there cops tailing him?"

Dennis got flustered all of a sudden. Although it had always been Gordon interacting with Jerry, Dennis had met Jerry before, and he feared that Jerry was sent by the police.

Although Brandon had been quiet these days, the news about the Zenitha-style resort project's construction site accident being ruled as man-made had been spreading like wildfire. Nell didn’t die, but Sophia did – it was still an accident that resulted in a death. He didn't share Marian's innocence; if the police really came knocking, he feared he couldn't escape involvement.

He was currently negotiating a big project, stuck at the contract signing stage; abandoning the project and fleeing would make him seem even more suspicious.

"I don't know."

Gordon on the other end of the phone was just as clueless as Dennis, "I just got a call from Tomas. He seemed pretty baffled too, saying Jerry was steaming mad and wanted to come settle the score with you, even rattled off your hotel room number. He asked me what happened and told me to warn you to be careful. I called you right away after hanging up."

Tomas wasn't a stranger to Dennis, but they weren't close either. He only knew him as a straightforward and honest man, not particularly clever or adaptable, but always truthful.

"I got it."

Dennis took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, "Keep an eye out in secret, I can't afford to run into Jerry."

Gordon: “All right."

After hanging up, Dennis turned around, picked up his wallet and ID from the desk, and left immediately.

At the Zenitha-style resort construction site.

Tomas, who had just ended a video call with Kent, put down his phone uneasily and turned to Kent, "Kent, I've made the call exactly as you instructed."

Just a short while ago, Tomas had received a video call from Kent, who gave him a phone number to call. He was to tell the person on the line that Jerry was furiously heading over to confront Dennis, going as far as to reveal Dennis's room number. Then, he was to feign confusion and concern, asking what exactly had happened as if worried yet completely unaware.

The person on the other end was a man named Gordon, someone he had shared a meal with due to Jerry’s connections, but their acquaintance was limited to just that one meal.

As Tomas was not well-acquainted with this man named Gordon, this bit of alert seemed reasonable and appropriate.
