“How are you here? Did you...” Edward asked in surprise as he saw Brandon lying flat on the ground
with his arms and legs wide open. His fingers were curled and lips still twitching, obviously unable to
speak. Edward turned his head toward the garden wall and knew exactly what had happened.
Aside from the built–in security system of Imperial Hills, Alexander also added his own security system
to the villa. The garden wall may look like an easy climb, but it was specially modified to electrocute
anyone who tried to enter by climbing the walls. Of course, the electrical circuit was not deadly, but it
was enough to momentarily paralyze those trying to enter without permission.
The person trying to break in was Brandon, so Alexander asked Edward to check when he had set off
the security alarm.
Alexander‘s voice could be heard through Edward‘s Bluetooth earphones, “Edward, bring him in.”
Alexander had already seen everything through the security camera‘s footage.
“Yes, sir!” Edward looked down at the still–paralyzed Brandon and realized that he could npt walk on
his own, let alone stand up. Edward decided to take matters into his own hands, picked Brandon up
again, and carried him into the house.
Brandon was feeling hopeless now. He only wanted to cry.
Inside, the place was warm and cozy, contrasting the cold, harsh weather outside. Edward walked
toward the sofa and looked over, ready to lower Brandon, when Alexander said, “No, not the sofa. He‘ll
only dirty it!”
Alexander instructed, “Just place him on the floor.” He did not care about Brandon‘s condition at all.
Brandon was again speechless at how obedient Edward was as a subordinate since he immediately
placed him on the floor without hesitation. Brandon could only glare at Alexander with hateful eyes,
lying on the floor while trying to feel his hands and legs.
He tried moving his fingers, but it gave him a horrible numbing feeling. The only thing he could do was
continuously blink until he could feel his tongue again,” Alex, you heartless person!”
“Heartless?” Alexander smirked coldly, “Edward, throw him out!”
Brandon immediately gave in, “D-Don‘t! It‘s all my fault! Y –You shouldn‘t be angry at some... one like
me. Just t–treat what I–I‘ve just said as b–b*llshit!”
His involuntary stuttering resulted from the aftereffects of being electrocuted, yet he made every effort
to complete his sentence. He had gone through so much just to enter Alexander‘s house. How could he
allow Alexander to throw him out into the cold again? That was just plain dumb!
Alexander motioned for Edward to leave them and started,” It‘s already so late. Shouldn‘t you be home
or at a pub? What are you doing at my house? Besides, how did you even manage to get in?”
‘Don‘t get me started!‘ Brandon glared at Alexander but then decided against it as he could throw him
out into the cold again anytime, “Hehe, I called James for a favor, so he told the security guards to let
me in! Now, I‘m forced to owe him one just because of you!”
