Chapter 144

The butler was startled. He hurriedly intervened. “Mr. Pliskin, your leg…”

He looked at Lester’s legs and the wheelchair, saying sadly, “Last month, Mr. George Pliskin wanted to send you to run an overseas branch, but you broke your leg. You’ve been staying in the wheelchair for a month and still haven’t recovered.

“It might be a bone injury. Your leg isn’t fully healed yet, and traveling to Zyrrinthia might worsen it.”

Lester stopped the butler with a gesture. “My leg is not important.”

His sister mattered the most.

Born with a silver spoon, his sister was the only daughter in his family, the apple of everyone, yet she went missing at a very young age.

Over the years, his family had never given up searching. They had investigated for any slight clue or a similar-looking girl, but each time, they found nothing.

Lester stared at the photo of Ashley emotionally.

Ashley’s features bore a faint resemblance to his mother’s in her youth. ‘Could this Ashley be my sister?”

The butler was still worried, and he advised, “Mr. Pliskin, with your leg condition, it’s really not good for you to move around. You can’t even get out of your wheelchair. Perhaps you shouldn’t go in person, just to be safe. I can let someone investigate immediately.”

Lester dismissed the suggestion again. “No, I’ll go myself.”

The butler was genuinely concerned. “But your leg, you can’t even leave your wheelchair…”

He stopped abruptly, his eyes widening in astonishment.

Just then, Lester, who seemed unable to walk and sat in his wheelchair, suddenly stood up.

The butler was utterly dumbfounded. “Mr. Pliskin, your… Your leg is. healed!”

Lester kicked his legs, smiling slyly. “What do you mean healed? My leg

The butler stood speechless.

To avoid going to the overseas branch, Lester pretended to be lame month and even used a wheelchair. That was typical of Lester.
