The butler was taken aback by the words and hurriedly tried to stop him. "Second Young Master, your legs..."
The butler looked at the man sitting in the wheelchair, his eyes filled with sadness. "Last month, the Eldest Young Master wanted to send you to manage the branch in Africa, but unfortunately, you broke your legs and have been recovering in the wheelchair for a month."
"Your leg is still not fully recovered. If you personally go to Newtopia, it might worsen your leg injury."
The man raised his hand to stop the butler from continuing. "My legs are not important."
His sister is the most important.
His sister was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, the only daughter of the family, the apple of everyone's eye. But she went missing when she was very young.
They had never given up searching for her all these years. Whenever there was a tiny clue or a girl who looked similar, they would do their best to investigate. Unfortunately, they always came back empty-handed.
The man looked at the photo of Victoria on his phone, his eyes filled with deep contemplation.
This girl's features resemble those of his mother when she was young...
Could this Victoria be his sister...
The butler was still worried and advised, "Second Young Master, it's really inconvenient for you to move with your legs. You can't even get off the wheelchair. It might be better not to go personally. I will send someone to investigate as soon as possible."
The man rejected again. "No need, I will go personally."
The butler was really concerned. "But your legs are completely dependent on the wheelchair..."
The butler was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped, his eyes widening in surprise.
He saw the man who had just been unable to walk from the wheelchair suddenly stand up...
He stood up...
Up...
The butler was dumbfounded. "Second Young Master, your... your legs are healed!"
The man kicked his healthy legs and had a sly smile on his handsome face. "What do you mean my legs are healed? My legs were never injured in the first place. I just pretended to break them so that I wouldn't have to go to the branch in Africa."
The butler, "..."
Ah, this...
Just to avoid managing the branch in Africa, he pretended to be crippled for a month and sat in a wheelchair for a month. Well, he truly lived up to his reputation as the Second Young Master!
The man looked at the photo of Victoria on his phone again. "I want to personally go to Newtopia. I'm going now."
The butler no longer tried to dissuade him and instead asked, "Should we inform MDempsey about this?"
The man shook his head. "Not yet."
For all these years, his mother had been yearning for her lost daughter every day. Many times, she thought she had found her, but every time she went with hope and came back with disappointment.
He didn't want to see his mother experience disappointment and sadness again.
So, this time, he would wait until he was certain before telling his mother.
The butler asked again, "Should we inform the Eldest Young Master?"
The man shuddered. "No."
If his older brother found out that he had faked his leg injury, he would definitely cripple his legs for real.
...
In Newtopia.
Victoria and Arnold left the banquet hall and had just reached the parking lot outside the hotel when two figures suddenly emerged from the corner. To their surprise, it was Dempsey and Eric.
The two brothers were excited, their faces flushed. "Victoria, we watched the livestream just now. So you're the Chief Designer of G.Y, Ivy!"
Victoria frowned. Where did these two come from?
When Arnold saw the blindingly bright pink color, her eyelids twitched. As expected, the car window rolled down, revealing Carl's handsome face with a charming smile. "Little Victoria, get in the car. Jack asked me to pick you up~"
Arnold clicked her tongue at the words and looked at Victoria. "Is your childhood sweetheart so worried about you that he sent someone to pick you up when you're just going home?"
Victoria, "...Can you please stop using the term 'childhood sweetheart'?"
Arnold asked, "Isn't that term not nice to hear?"
Victoria replied, "Of course it's not nice."
"But I think it's quite good." Arnold smirked, her blue eyes looking at Carl, who was sitting in the driver's seat. "Right, darling? What do you think?"
Carl, upon hearing the term 'darling,' initially thought that Arnold was using it to refer to Victoria. But in the next second, he realized that Arnold was addressing him.
Carl, "..."
Damn!
"I'm telling you to f*ck off! Get the hell out of here!" Carl shouted at Arnold, his face filled with anger, visibly not liking her.
Arnold, "..."
In the Montgomery family's living room.
Bella sat on the sofa, while Amelia sobbed in her arms, gasping for breath.
Lucas stood with his hands behind his back, his face extremely displeased as he looked at Amelia with anger in his eyes. "Amelia, how could you steal Victoria's design drafts? Now that your theft has been exposed, it's the Montgomery family's reputation that has suffered!"
This was the first time Amelia had been scolded by Lucas. She looked timidly at the man who was supposed to be her father, her tears flowing even more, sobbing uncontrollably.
Bella couldn't bear to see this and gently stroked Amelia's back, looking at Lucas with disapproval. "Alright, Lucas, Amelia is still a child. Why are you arguing with her? Amelia made a mistake this time, but she can change in the future, right?"
Dempsey and Eric had just returned to the Montgomery family and hadn't entered the living room yet, but they could already hear Bella's absurd words.
Dempsey couldn't take it anymore and rushed to Bella's side in a few steps, his expression cold. "Amelia is already an adult. She's just a piece of sh*t child! She can continue to change in the future? Ha, Amelia has repeatedly shown her wickedness and deceit by stealing other people's work!"
