The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 573

Brandon drove straight to Martin's place.

Louis Frost and the rest of the Frost family were there, each looking listless and drained of spirit. They lacked not only the joy they felt when they mistakenly thought Marian was their family member but also the calm demeanor they usually maintained.

This was Brandon's first drop-in since he had busted Marian's scheme.

As Brandon walked in, a trace of brightness appeared on Louis's previously lifeless face, and he immediately stood up anxiously: "Brandon, you’re here. Do you have any news about Yoli?"

Brandon gave him a glance, then looked upstairs: "I'm here to see Martin."

The hope on Louis’s face immediately faded, and he weakly pointed upstairs. "He's up there, in the study."

As he drew his arm back, he couldn't help but give Brandon a look of desperation: "You sure you don't have no news at all?"

Gerald Frost and Rachel Frost, who had been listlessly scrolling on their phones, perked up with anticipation at Brandon's arrival.

Brandon didn't want to answer that question.

“I'll go see Martin first."

No sooner had he spoken than Martin emerged from the study.

Brandon gave him a glance and took the stairs two at a time: "I want to see the full surveillance footage."

Martin nodded slightly and turned back into the study. Brandon followed him.

Martin's computer was playing all the surveillance videos and eavesdropping recordings—not just the conversation between Marian and Augus in the car today, but all the stuff from the past few days.

He had transferred all the video footages to his computer.

"I want to see the highlights."

Brandon said, leaning in towards the computer, his hand gripping the mouse, and dragging the progress bar.

Most of the footage showed Marian driving solo, her usual commute, her alone time—all seemed normal. The only anomaly was today when Augus approached her car.

"There are no anomalies found in the wiretaps so far either," Martin explained from the side.

The wiretap was on Marian's house; these past days, aside from Marian  being less energetic than before, everything seemed normal on all fronts.

Brandon ignored him, dragging the timeline straight to the part where Augus jumped into Marian's car, put on the earphones while clicking on fast-forward, his sharp eyes glued to Marian and Augus on the screen.

One had to admit that Marian was adept at acting and disguising herself.
