“That‘s why I want you to ask!” Brittany circled the table, grabbed his arm, and gently rocked it, “It‘s not a big deal. You just need to check the details. Can‘t you help me on this small thing?”
After all, it was not a big deal, but where did she hear that nonsense?
Brandon frowned and looked at her disgusted, “How could you even believe this? I remember you were quite confident in yourself! Have you ever seen another woman with Alex? I thought you‘d already chased away all the ladies that tried to get near him. Besides, with how he acts, I would probably believe he was gay if you said so. By the way, do you think he‘s engaged to another man?”
He remarked in all seriousness, convinced that his viewpoint was the most sensible.
Brittany clenched her tiny fist and thumped him fiercely,” Bullsh*t! You‘re probably gayer than he is! Just help me ask! Why are you asking so many questions?” Being hammered by the fist, Brandon screamed, “Alright, I‘ll ask! It‘s true when they say that women‘s hearts turn to their lovers rather than family. If I came out of the closet, I‘d be the last successor in our family!”
Seeing her fist raised and was about to hit him again, he hurriedly made a begging gesture, “My dear Brittany, I‘ll ask for you. Please be merciful!”
Hearing what he said, Brittany put down her hand, “You said it! Don‘t forget it!”
She was about to leave, but she remembered something. She turned around and said, “By the way, remember to tell me after you‘ve booked the time and place. I‘m going too!
However, Brandon said, “Friendly advice. You‘d better not come.”
“Why?” She pouted and was very unhappy.
She had not seen him for a long time. Since she ran off with him that day, they had not been in contact for many days except for the two phone calls she took the initiative to dial. Initially, she wanted to let Alexander coax her first, but after waiting several days, she became impatient.
Well, who told her to fall for him? Those who fell in love first were the ones who ended up feeling most humbled. She would take this opportunity to meet Alexander and have him personally say that it was just fake news.
Brandon said earnestly, “You know it‘s awkward for you to ask about this. Whether true or false, do you think he‘ll tell the truth in front of you?”
“Why not?”
“If so, why don‘t you ask him yourself?”
In just one sentence, she was dumbfounded. Brittany bit her lips, looking convoluted. “Listen to me. Don’t come! Men have their way of communicating. It‘s not suitable for you to come!” Brandon understood Brittany too well, but he knew Alexander better.
Knowing Brittany‘s domineering and willful temperament, Alexander would not tell the truth in front of her.
“All right, I won‘t go!” She finally made up her mind. She still valued the truth more, so she promised him, “Still, you have to promise to help me find out!”
“Okay, I promise!” He nodded again and again. He had no choice but to agree.
She was unwilling, but there was no other way. She was so eager to know that she wished she heard it with her own ears, “Remember, you must ask clearly! If it‘s true, find out who that woman is!”
“Okay, okay!” Brandon waved his hands in a gesture of assurance.
After sending her out the door, Brandon finally had a chance to catch his breath. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this matter was bizarre.
Let‘s not mention the close friendship between the two families or even Brittany stuck in the middle. If the engagement was legit and Alexander had a partner, the news would spread around their circle. There was no sign of him being in a relationship at all, and suddenly, he‘s engaged? Who captured Alexander‘s heart? Brandon was interested to find out!
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 462
Initially, Brandon thought it would be easy to make an appointment with Alexander, but he did not expect to be rejected.
He could not believe it! Rejected?
“I know you‘re busy, so you could at least squeeze some time for me! Let‘s talk about it. From noon to evening, any time. I can accommodate whenever!” Brandon said very generously.
“I don‘t have time,” Alexander was not joking. He was flipping through his schedule and replying to Brandon at the same time.
“That‘s impossible! How about tomorrow at noon?” He did not believe that Alexander was fully packed the whole day.
“I have a meeting with Aurora that was booked half a month ago!”
Brandon replied, “How about tomorrow night?”
“I have an appointment with Mr. Hendricks at Pavillion, so I‘m not free either.”
“The day after tomorrow?”
“Monthly inspection of my branch office.”
“Two days after tomorrow?” Brandon continued without giving up.
After closing the schedule, Alexander persuaded him, “Just give up. My schedule is full for the next half month. There‘s really no time for you.”
Brandon was silent. After two minutes, he said pitifully, “Is there no time at all? I don‘t believe it. You still have to eat! Can‘t I go to you during dinner and chat while eating?”
“No! I‘m eating right now. You‘ve already delayed my time. If you want, then say it now.”
How could Brandon make it clear on the phone? Even if he asked about such a thing, Alexander would not say the truth. It must be in person!
“Then I‘ll go there now. I‘ll wait for you to get off work. You have to eat after work, correct? Can I wait for you for dinner? I‘ll wait now!” He picked up his jacket and did what he said.
“I‘m going home for dinner, and I‘ll leave after work. You won‘t have enough time,” he raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He continued mercilessly, “Okay, your time is up. I‘m going to a meeting now. Bye!” “Hey, hey!” Brandon wanted to say something, but he was already hung up. Was he seriously that busy? Brandon‘s own family business was probably not as large compared to La Beauté Group, and their branch was not as big as well, but at least he still had time to eat.
Alexander must have known what Brandon was going to do and made an excuse to reject him!
Brandon could not stop thinking about it, which made him feel even more curious and eager to meet Alexander.
“Cancel all my activities this afternoon. If you need to reach me, just leave a message. If it‘s very urgent, call me.” After explaining to the secretary, he walked quickly outside. “Cancel all of them?” The secretary followed in surprise and asked, “You still have an appointment with Ms.Gray.” “Make a call and cancel it!” With a wave of his hand, Brandon had already entered the elevator.
Nothing was more important than seeing what Alexander was up to!
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 463
Alexander was not making excuses, as he was genuinely busy. After all, it was the end of the year. There were the year–end financial statements, reports, and summaries from various branches, the human resources management, and others. Alexander had too many things to handle.
Of course, this was not the only reason he was so busy. He could do these things slowly, but he wanted to finish as soon as possible so he could spend time with his wife. He always did work step–by–step in the past, and it did not matter, even if he needed to work until New Year‘s Eve.
However, things were different now. Now, Alexander had someone which he wanted to accompany. He wanted to give more of his time to her.
Alexander was busy the whole afternoon. When he checked the time after the last meeting, he realized that he had worked overtime. Alexander yearned to go home. He walked to his office and even signed the various documents handed over by his assistant along the way.
When he pushed the office door open, someone who rushed over blocked him. “Mr. Russell, you should have some time now, right?”
Alexander frowned as he looked at Brandon, who appeared before him. The look on his face clearly showed, ‘No strangers are allowed to come close.‘
His secretary beside him saw his expression and said cautiously, “Mr. Oakley said he had made an appointment with you, Mr. Russell. He has been waiting for you for more than three hours.”
Brandon checked the time and corrected the secretary,” That‘s right, honey! It‘s been three hours, forty–seven minutes, and twenty–eight seconds to be exact!” He also blew a kiss toward the secretary, making her blush and dare not look at him.
Alexander frowned deeper.
“Stop harassing my secretary!” He said while walking into the office. Brandon followed behind him and said, “How can you say it‘s harassment? I‘m helping you water the flower. Women are like flowers; we need to water them occasionally to keep them nourished. Look at yourself. You always put on a stern face and are as cold as an ice block. You‘ll make these flowers wither. Do you know how heartbreaking it would be to see the flowers wilt?”
He did not forget to release his pheromones while he said this. Occasionally, he would send them a blown kiss and successfully seduce the unmarried female employees.
Brandon did not look as handsome as Alexander, but his features were well–proportioned. His facial features were ordinary but made others feel comfortable when combined. It made him very pleasing to the eyes as he seemed friendly and good–looking
He also had a pair of almond–shaped eyes that seemed to discharge electricity wherever he went. Moreover, he was the president of the Oakley Group. So, he was the typical
tall, rich and handsome man. This made him popular among the ladies. Alexander closed the window blinds to prevent this ba*tard from harassing his employee. He signed the last document, handed it to the assistant, and gave him some instructions. After that, Alexander turned around and picked up his coat.
It seemed like he was about to leave.
“Hey, are you getting off work? Then you should have time now!” Brandon followed him closely. He would follow Alexander wherever he went. He believed that he would find the chance to ask him.
“I don‘t have time. I told you before; I‘m going home!” Alexander walked into his exclusive elevator in the office.
Brandon managed to slip into the elevator. “Why are you in a rush to go home? It‘s so boring to go home! You‘re not a seven-year–old child who needs to listen to his mother and obediently go home after school. You haven‘t eaten, am I right? I haven‘t, either. Let‘s have a meal together. I‘ll treat you. What do you say?” He pointed a thumb at himself. “No need. I‘ll go home and eat.” Alexander looked uninterested and maintained his usual cold demeanor.
“There was nothing good to eat at home. We haven‘t seen each other for a long time. Let‘s go for a drink together!”
The elevator reached the underground parking lot. Alexander walked out of the elevator, but Brandon followed him nonetheless. It looked like he would follow him all the way.
“No!” Alexander opened the car door and got into the car. Brandon followed suit. Waiting in the driver‘s seat, Edward was surprised when he found another person in the car,” Mr. Russell?”
“I‘m going home and not going to the bar.” Alexander looked at Brandon and emphasized his words again.
Brandon nodded his head, “I know! I‘m following you to your house!”
“I didn‘t prepare you dinner.”
Brandon gritted his teeth, “I–It‘s okay. I‘m not hungry. Didn‘t you say you don‘t have time? Fine then. I‘ll talk to you in the car. Is that okay?”
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 464
Brandon was persistent, and Alexander could roughly guess his intention, so he did not say anything. He looked at Edward, “Drive!”
Brandon realized what he meant when the car started, so he quickly closed the door. It was not easy to get some time with Alexander. Brandon could no longer care about anything else and decisively left his car at the underground parking lot.
After all, this was a rare opportunity. Brandon needed to ponder carefully and arrange his words so his questions were not too abrupt. As he thought of how to form his sentences, he heard Alexander ask him instead, “Did Brittany put you up to this?”
Brandon stared at Alexander in astonishment with a stiff face. ‘Dude, you can read my mind!‘
“I can‘t read your mind. You have it written clearly on your face!” Alexander glanced at him and said calmly.
‘Well, if Alex can‘t read my mind, how come he knew what I was thinking?!
Alexander continued, “I know what you‘re thinking because I know why you‘re here today.” His sentences were harsher than his previous ones.
Brandon was petrified! ‘Dude, this was not how it should play out. He‘s too scary! I haven‘t said a word yet. So, is he a psychic? How did he answer me before I could even reply?!‘
“T–That...” Brandon was stuttering and found it hard to speak. He blinked several times and tried to look normal,” Is it true?”
If not, how could Alexander guess Brandon‘s thoughts so accurately and even know what he would ask?
“Yes, it‘s true.” Alexander paused for a moment. He looked at Brandon‘s bitter face and added, “Also, no.”
Brandon was stunned, “What do you mean yes and no?”
‘Yes is yes, and no is no. What does Alex mean by yes and no? What kind of riddle is this?!‘
“I‘m not engaged. I‘m married.” He and Lily had already signed the marriage certificate. It was simple to sign the paper. Therefore, there was no need for an engagement as it was better to marry instead.
He told Derrick that Lily was his fiancee because he could not find a suitable identity to introduce her to. Therefore, he said Lily was his fiancee. At the same time, it was to inform the Lodge family about their relationship and let them know that regardless of whether or not they agreed, this marriage was definite.
Alexander threw Brandon into the abyss before Brandon could adjust his emotions. Brandon wailed, “F*ck, how can you...”
‘Is he for real?! So, it’s true, after all! Who would Alex want to get engaged...oh no, is it her?! He must be crazy!‘
Brandon could not help but feel curious and asked, “Who is she?!”
Alexander looked at him with calm and unwavering eyes. He stared at Brandon but kept silent. Brandon felt uneasy when Alexander stared at him like that.
“Y–You can‘t say?” Brandon cautiously asked as he gulped his saliva several times.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 465
“You don‘t know her,” Alexander said.
Brandon almost cursed at him. ‘What the h*ck! Someone I don‘t know?! It‘s akin to him not answering.‘
But then again, if she was someone Brandon did not know, then she was likely not someone who was from a wealthy or famous family. He might not know all the eligible bachelors, but he knew all eligible ladies of their circle.
Brandon was not bragging but could name all the ladies and mention their characteristics, who was beautiful, who was bad–tempered, or who had outstanding talent.
Alexander said that Brandon did not know her. Did he mean that she was not one of these ladies? What background did she have then? Is she a peasant? No way! The Russells were an influential and wealthy family. How could they allow him to marry a peasant?
“Even if I don‘t know her, she must still have a name, right? Also, will your family allow you to marry a peasant? Don‘t tell me you fell in love with Cinderella. Please wake up! The Cinderella story is a mere fairytale for innocent girls. Don‘t tell me you believe in such love!” Alexander looked at Brandon coldly as he was too noisy. Brandon stopped his words and was quiet for a moment. However, he still could not help but continue pestering Alexander, “Let‘s put my wayward sister aside for now. It would help if you thought of your family and family
business. Would they allow an ordinary girl to marry into the Russell family?”
“She‘s not ordinary.” Lily was never ordinary to him. She was special, unique, and the one and only!‘Ordinary?! No, she never was!
Alexander continued before Brandon could continue,” Besides, I don‘t need a marriage to maintain the business. As for my family, I‘m the one who was marrying her. I don‘t need others‘ consent.”
Brandon wanted to do a live broadcast. ‘Come, everyone! Look at this extinct species!‘
But he could not, considering his sister and Alexander‘s special status. He never imagined that Alexander, the big CEO, was so naive when he was in love.
“That‘s not it. While what you said was true, our status and surroundings don‘t allow us to do as we please. How can you not consider the other external factors? There will come a time that will make you understand reality. Even if she is someone you like, in the face of pressure...” Alexander coldly cut Brandon off before he could finish,” Does it have anything to do with you?”
What he said rendered Brandon speechless. Alexander made him sound like a gossiper. Indeed, Brandon‘s actions earlier were no different from a gossiper. He shut his mouth and looked at the passing scenery outside the car window.
Brandon frantically searched his mind but could not identify who was the possible candidate who was about to become Ms. Russell.
Brandon looked back at Alexander, but Alexander was looking straight ahead. It was as though their conversation earlier had not caused a ripple in him at all. Instead, he seemed like he was looking forward to something.
‘Is he looking forward to something?‘ Brandon came to a realization. He recalled Alexander wanting to hurry home after work and refusing his invitation for dinner or to go out drinking. He insisted on going home for dinner and said he had not prepared dinner for Brandon. Could it be?
“Are you already living with the woman you want to marry?!”
Alexander did not deny it, but he did not admit it either. Brandon had affirmed his thought when he saw Alexander‘s expression. “Damn it. I never noticed that you were someone like this all along, bro!”
Brandon felt that Alexander‘s sharp gaze had almost killed him. He shifted toward the back, saying, “I–It was a slip of the tongue, really! It‘s just that I did not expect an old bachelor as you would someday live with someone. I‘m very curious! Drive faster, Edward! I need to see what this woman looks like!
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 466
Brandon had even forgotten about his sister‘s interest in Alexander, and he only wanted to find out what Alexander‘s fiancee looked like.
Edward was speechless about Brandon‘s behavior. Alexander did not even bother to acknowledge him. He knew this moment would come after he openly announced Lily‘s identity at the Lodge family banquet.
However, he was also relieved that their relationship was known now. It was just a matter of time before the public knew about this.
When the car pulled into the entrance of Imperial Hills, Alexander instructed Edward, “Stop here for a while.” Brandon wanted to ask why they stopped there when he heard Alexander saying, “Get out.”
“Huh?” Brandon looked around in confusion, wondering who he was speaking to.
The next moment, Alexander stared straight at him and added firmly, “You, get out.”
“Why?” Brandon was annoyed. It would be embarrassing if he were kicked out of the car like this. Besides, Brandon‘s car was still parked at La Beaute Group‘s parking lot. If he got off now, how was he supposed to get home? Seeing Alexander‘s fiancee was the primary motivation for his visit. How could he leave when he was about to succeed?
Only an id*ot would get out now. Brandon stayed put in his seat with his legs wide open, “I won‘t!”
“Get out! Don‘t make me say it again!” Alexander was obviously annoyed now. He narrowed his eyes at Brandon coldly.
Brandon stubbornly placed one hand on the door handle and the other on the seat, not willing to budge at all, “No, I won‘t! I will see what your fiancee looks like today! There‘s no way you can make me leave! No way!”
“Edward!” Losing his patience, Alexander instructed Edward to remove him.
Edward had already expected this, so he was prepared. The moment he heard Alexander, he immediately unbuckled his seat belt and moved to the side where Brandon was sitting. He bent over and said, “Mr. Oakley, I‘m sorry.”
“W–What are you doing?” Brandon was nervous, so his grip on the door loosened.
After giving him a heads–up, Edward opened the door with force, and Brandon almost fell over.
“I...this is illegal! How could you use violence? If you dare touch me, I–I‘ll sue you in court!” Brandon pointed at Edward and yelled.
Then, he turned around and looked at Alexander with a pitiful expression, “We‘ve been friends for a long time. We‘re practically like brothers! Besides, you would have to show her to me someday. Why not introduce us now, since I‘m already at your front door? It‘s rude just to kick me o–ou–out...”
Before Brandon could even finish his sentence, he was literally picked up by Edward and escorted out of the car.
Brandon wanted to dig a hole and bury himself. He had never been this embarrassed in his life. Even though there was no one around, the security guards were there. It was humiliating for a man to be picked up by another man and left outside!
After putting him down, Edward closed the door behind him. Brandon wanted to rush into the car again, but Edward was faster as he stood in front of the door and commented, “Mr. Oakley, please be respectful.” Brandon knew Edward very well.
Even though he was as expressive as a log, Brandon knew that Edward was also an assistant who was skilled in fighting. Brandon was no match if he really wanted to hurt him, and honestly, Edward did not even need to go that far!
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 467
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.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 468
“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!”
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 469
In the face of Alexander‘s indifference, Brandon did not give up. More importantly, Alexander‘s house was warm and comfortable. Brandon‘s body recovered from the shock, and he could finally move again, so he got up from the floor and went to sit on the sofa.
Alexander glared at him, but Brandon did not care as his butt was glued firmly onto the sofa. “Come on, don‘t give me that look. You‘ve kicked me out of your car and electrocuted me, yet I‘m not complaining.
“All I wanted was to have a look at your fiancee. Why are you even trying so hard to hide her? Is it because she‘s really ugly that you‘re embarrassed to...” After noticing Alexander‘s glare, Brandon did not dare continue.
“Okay, okay. I‘m just trying to help. Your secret was already made public, so there‘s no point even trying to try hiding it. Besides, you didn‘t plan on hiding right? Since you‘ve already decided to get married, why don‘t you introduce her to me first? It‘s still better than my sister seeing her, right?” Brandon explained patiently, hoping to convince Alexander to give in.
“You know very well what kind of person my sister is. She‘s been by your side for many years and has helped keep other women at bay, right? If she finds out that you‘re getting married, she would probably go crazy!” Brandon had expected Brittany to go crazy if she found out about this news.
Furthermore, this was not an arranged marriage; this was a marriage out of love. Brittany would probably even kill when she found out. The more Brandon thought about it, the scarier it became, which was why he wanted to see what kind of woman Alexander had fallen in love with.
If he could break them up, he would try, or it would be good to warn the couple about his sister if they were a matching couple.
“I‘ve only thought of Brittany as my sister, and you all know about it,” Alexander frowned in annoyance. He had never once given her false hope or shown interest in her.
Brandon nodded like a chick, “Of course, I know! Even my mother and father do too. I‘m sure Brittany is aware, but she‘s just such a stubborn girl. She would‘ve given up years ago if she weren’t. I‘m just worried that she‘ll go crazy...”
He paused, looked at the rooms in the house, and mumbled, “Aren‘t you worried that the fiancee you‘re trying so hard to protect would be in danger?”
Alexander‘s face darkened as he heard what Brandon said. It reminded him of the incident in Westwood; just the thought of it scared him. Even though they had settled the incident correctly and Lily came out unscathed, Alexander still felt upset when he thought of how much worse the kidnapping could have gone.
This thought always made his palms sweat and sent shivers down his spine. He could not and would never allow something like that to happen again.
With this thought in mind, he looked at Brandon seriously, “You need to make sure that Brittany doesn‘t do anything that would hurt my fiancee, or else, even if she were my biological sister, I would not let her get away!”
This was a warning to both Brandon and Brittany. In other words, Alexander had already given the Oakley family a heads–up that if Brittany ever did something out of line, he would not let her off the hook.
That was the first time Brandon had seen such a frigid expression on Alexander‘s face. He knew Alexander had a cold façade on the outside but was a warm person inside. Just like Alexander did not mind that Brandon was sitting on his sofa even though he was covered in mud.
However, this time Alexander was serious. Brandon could even feel Alexander‘s murderous mood, and it scared him. It seemed like he was serious about this woman. It was not a conspiracy to hide something, as Alexander was genuinely in love with Lily.
Brandon was curious to see what kind of person Lily was, as she could melt Alexander‘s stone, cold heart. Alexander had encountered countless women, be they gentle, beautiful, cute, or friendly; he had seen all of them, but never once did he falter.
How much of a beauty Lily must be to be able to enter Alexander‘s eyes and for him to treat her like his most prized possession.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 470
Brandon had been there for a long time, but he still had not seen Alexander‘s fiancee. He had tried so hard to enter Alexander‘s house, but why had he not seen her yet? Were they not living together? Brandon continued to look around the house but failed to notice a single woman. At that moment, Alexander stood up and said, “Feel free to make yourself at home.”
Brandon was confused as he noticed Alexander was walking toward the other side of the house and rolling up his sleeves. Brandon was not sure what Alexander wanted to do.
“Where are you going? How am I supposed to make myself at home? Can I look around your rooms? C–Can I walk around?” He asked, testing the waters. He knew he might bump into Alexander‘s fiancee if Alexander allowed him to roam. He did not even have to meet her in person, as a photo of them together would also suffice.
“As long as you‘re not afraid of setting off the alarm, then feel free to roam around,” Alexander said without turning back and continued on his way to the kitchen.
Brandon remained silent as he remembered the feeling of being electrocuted. He was worried he might suffer some side effects after that incident, so he was unwilling to take the risk.
Alex is so paranoid. Who does something like installing an electric fence in their own home?!
For his safety, Brandon decided to follow Alexander closely. He was shocked when Alexander entered the kitchen and put on an apron. “Y–You...” He could not even form a proper sentence. The shock he felt was even more than when he got electrocuted. He would have taken out his cell phone, taken a picture of Alexander, and posted it on Facebook if he were not afraid for his life or maybe destroying his family‘s business. Still, it was a historical moment that Brandon knew he had to remember.
‘Alexander Russell, director of La Beaute Group, the head of the Russell family, one of the country‘s top four most influential families, is in an apron, preparing to cook.’
If Brandon posted this photo online, he was sure it would create an uproar. Sadly, this was all just his imagination. He dared not do it as he still valued his life.
Alexander had expected Brandon to react this way, so he glanced at him and instructed, “Since you‘re just standing around doing nothing, you might as well make yourself useful. Open the fridge‘s second compartment and bring me some tomatoes.”
“Oh, okay!” Brandon immediately carried out what Alexander had instructed after coming to his senses. He was once again surprised by how well–stocked Alexander‘s fridge was. His own fridge was also well–stocked, but mostly with instant meal packs and junk food. Alexander‘s fridge, on the other hand, had a lot of fresh ingredients like fruits, vegetables, and meat. They were all well–packed and separated into different packages. There were even supplements and some expensive ingredients in his fridge.
It was a fridge that was owned by someone who would often cook. Yet, it was still surprising that Alexander did his own cooking
As Brandon handed Alexander the tomatoes, he could not help but add, “What happened to your private chef? Is he dead?”
