Brandon could only stand there and watch as the car drove into Imperial Hills. The security of Imperial
Hills was stringent and well–equipped. If one were not one of its residents or accompanied by a
resident, one would not be able to enter its compounds.
Moreover, the security guards did not know who Brandon was. Therefore, he was still not allowed to
enter even after trying to talk sense into them. However, Brandon was not someone who would give up
that easily, and his curiosity was fueled by Alexander‘s behavior too. He wanted to see what kind of
woman Alexander fell for, or else he would not be able to sleep at night.
After making sure that no one was around, Brandon studied the fencing around the compound and
noticed they were not very high. He found a secluded corner and checked to make sure he could climb
over. He pretended to leave but circled back to the same spot and tried to climb over after checking
that no one was looking.
The moment his hands touched the railing and he flung himself upward, he lost his sight suddenly, as
beams of lights shone on his face and the security alarm went off,” Intruder alert! Intruder alert!”
Brandon‘s eyes were already momentarily blinded by the bright lights, and now he had to bear with the
piercing sound of the alarm.
Brandon had no choice but to let go. Moments later, the alarm stopped, and the beams turned off
gradually. Peace finally settled back into the area. It looked like he could not climb over the fence to
enter. Imperial Hills‘s security was well–equipped even though they may not look it.
Brandon stood at the foot of the fence, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and started complaining
about Alexander while looking upward, “Alex, you‘re so heartless! After you‘ve started to have a love
life, you‘ve turned into a horrible friend! You won‘t even allow me into your house anymore. This stupid
neighborhood, just because you‘re equipped with some security systems doesn‘t mean you can stop
me from entering! Just watch!”
Brandon took out his mobile phone and made several calls to some friends. It was impossible if he tried
to enter through the fence, so he could only ask for a favor from his friends living inside.
It was a much better plan than breaking and entering. After talking on the phone for ten minutes,
Brandon could enter the residential area smoothly without any hassle. Although the guards gave him
some strange looks because they recognized him from the security camera footage, they were
compelled to let him in after receiving permission from the tenants.
Brandon knew which block Alexander lived in as he had been there before. Still, he was upset that he
was not allowed to enter Alexander‘s place. By the time he had run all the way from the entrance to
Alexander‘s detached villa, he was already out of breath.
“D*rn it! Why did they have to make this place so big? How many would even be able to afford this?”
Brandon complained while catching his breath, hunched over with his hands on his thighs.
Brandon was glad that he had finally made it to Alexander‘s house. This time, he had learned his
lesson. Instead of walking over and ringing the doorbell, he chose to circle to the back of the house and
enter through the garden.
If he came in from the front, Alexander would only slam the door in his face. However, it was a different
story if he stealthily entered through the garden. Moreover, the flowers and plants in the garden would
work as camouflage for him.
When he got there, he took a few steps back to give himself more momentum to jump over the garden
wall. Brandon took a deep breath and ran with all his might. Just as he touched the wall to give himself
a push, he felt numb, and before he knew it, he fell face down on the ground.
Brandon felt a shockwave running through his body as he lay on the floor, twitching uncontrollably. He
could not stand up as his arms and legs felt stiff and powerless.
“Mr. Oakley?” An enlarged version of Edward‘s face looked down at him in shock.
Brandon could only blink as his facial muscles were stiff, and he could not even manage a smile or any
expressions whatsoever.
