NovelEnglishChapter 1396 Quinn eyed the nanny and figured getting past this door was gonna be a hassle. She grinned and said, "Guess it's a pain forto cin, huh? Got it." "Sorry, Mr. Lynch said no visitors," the nanny shot back.
Quinn nodded and shoved the fruit through the iron gate. "I get it. Just take the fruit. I brought it, and it'd be awkward to take it back." The nanny, eager to get rid of her, grabbed it. "Alright then, thanks." "No problem," Quinn replied.
From the nanny's reaction, it was clear Alexander was home; otherwise, she wouldn't be so quick to shoo her away.
But that didn't mean she couldn't get in.
She picked the easiest route climbing the wall.
Since she didn't have Sprout with her during the day, she could scale the wall.

The ladder was still about a foot and a half short, but no biggie. She grabbed the edge of the wall and hoisted herself up. Sitting on the 6-foot wall and looking down, she felt a bit of vertigo.
She took a few deep breaths to calm her nerves, then lay on the wall and picked up the ladder, ready to place it inside.
Just as she picked up the ladder, she saw a group of property management staff storming over, led by a middle- aged woman.
The woman pointed at Quinn on the wall and yelled, "There she is! Trying to climb over and steal stuff!" The nanny had seen Quinn lugging a ladder around earlier. Quinn thought being so obvious, no one would think she was gonna climb the wall. But she didn't expect people with nothing better to do than follow her.
A bunch of burly security guards rushed at Quinn with tools in hand.
Panicking, Quinn quickly moved the ladder inside and started climbing down.
But the ladder was wobbly. After just two steps, it tilted. With a loud crash, both she and the ladder fell, and she let out an uncontrollable scream.
The world spun around her, and when she hit the ground, her vision went black. It felt like her insides were rattling.
She lay there, unable to move for a while.
After a bit, she heard footsteps coming closer.
A shadow loomed over her, and she turned her head with difficulty to see the nanny running over. When she saw it was Quinn, her face was priceless. Behind the nanny, a figure in a black sweater walked over.
Alexander stopped in front of her and looked down at Quinn, who was still on the ground, too pained to get up. Just a moment ago, she was delivering fruit, and now she was sprawled in the yard with a ladder beside her.
Even with her usual thick skin, she felt a bit embarrassed.
She turned her head and raised her hand to cover her face.

Alexander turned to the nanny and said, "Go deal with it." "What should I say?" the nanny asked.
"Just say it's nothing," Alexander replied calmly.
The nanny nodded and jogged to open the door.
After she left, the air got all awkward and quiet again.
"You okay?" Alexander asked.
Hearing his voice from above, Quinn slowly lowered her band only to see a slender hand in front of her.
She followed the hand upward and saw a faint smile on Alexander's face.
After a moment of silence, she raised her arm and grabbed the hand and then a force pulled her up from the En ground.
