The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 704

Brandon knew Kris's background like the back of his hand.

The eldest son of Dennis, Kris was adopted just like Marian. He grew up overseas and was always a bit of a wild child, leveraging family connections to get into college. It wasn't until after graduation that he decided to buckle down and get involved in the family business.

His business acumen was average at best, but he used his connections with the underground scene to run the company successfully in the local area.

He had an extraordinary affection for Marian.

So, even though Marian tried her best to stop him from coming over, once he learned she was stuck dealing with legal issues and couldn't leave the country, he secretly made his way over, against everyone's wishes.

Brandon had banked on Kris's unwillingness to abandon Marian to draw him to the States.

And clearly, he bet right.

Facing the man with the intense, hawk-like gaze, Brandon's lips curled into a cold smirk.

As Brandon sized up Kris with a calculated calm, Kris was doing the same to him.

Compared to Kris's composure, Marian, standing just behind him, felt her heart race under Brandon's scrutinizing gaze.

It was the look of a predator who had finally cornered its prey.

Marian couldn't quite put her finger on why she felt this way.

Brandon and Kris had never met before. This was Kris's first time in the country, so in theory, Brandon shouldn't know him at all.

But Brandon's eyes...

Her grip on Kris's shirt loosened instinctively, as if wanting to distance herself from him.

Brandon cast a dismissive glance at her before turning his attention back to Kris.

"Kris?"

He said his name with a question, yet his tone was full of certainty.
