Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 147

Lester smiled and chuckled, "I'm used to sitting in a wheelchair for a month. I will feel uncomfortable if I don't sit in it."

Ashley didn't respond.

She suddenly thought Lester was not very reliable.

At this moment, a man who looked like a butler came over with a few sturdy bodyguards in black.

The butler walked to Lester and greeted him in a low voice. "Mr. Pliskin."

Lester nodded slightly.

Ashley glanced at the few bodyguards in black uniforms, which were printed with the Pliskin family's crest.

Lester looked at Ashley, feeling unprecedentedly nervous. He asked anxiously, "Ms. Ramos, can I...call your name?"

Ashley nodded casually. "Of course."

Everyone who knew her called her that.

Lester felt ecstatic and continued, "Ashley, can we leave each other's phone numbers?"

Ashley was about to nod and say yes.

But she glanced at Lester's healthy legs and thought, 'He is not lame but sits in a wheelchair. Is he reliable?'

Lester saw the hesitation and doubt in her eyes and regretted why he had come there in a wheelchair.

He suddenly thought of Jaden and said immediately, "Jaden founded the Glory Youveile with you and is a founder of it. So you are good friends, right?"

Ashley squinted slightly.

Lester hurriedly explained, "I know Jaden. You can ask him if you don't believe what I said. Although I'm not familiar with him, you and I are still considered acquainted. Could I have your phone number?"

Ashley thought for a moment and finally nodded. "Okay."

Ashley gave Lester her contact information and left.

After walking a few steps, she took her mobile phone and sent a message to Jaden: [Got up yet?]

Jaden replied instantly: [Of course. Look at the time. It's already afternoon. I'm not a pig who sleeps in, okay?]

Ashley was not even bothering to talk nonsense and sent: [Do you know Lester Pliskin?]

Jaden replied: [Yeah, but I'm not familiar with him. I've met him a few times occasionally.]

Ashley read Jaden's reply and tapped on the side of the phone a few times with her fingertip. As Lester said, he knew Jaden.

Jaden was a descendant of a noble family, and his family was one of the top ten ancient aristocratic families in Takydo. The Pliskin family's sphere of influence was also in Takydo, so it made sense that the two of them knew each other.

Jaden asked in confusion and sent: [Why do you suddenly mention Lester?]

Ashley thought for a while and sent: [Do you have any photos of Lester?]

Jaden replied: [Yes. Although he rarely appeared online, I have a photo of him.]

Ashley sent: [Send it to me.]

Jaden quickly sent the photo.

Ashley looked at Lester's appearance in the photo. He had delicate and handsome features and was the man she had just met.

More importantly, Lester in the photo was not in a wheelchair, and his legs were healthy.

Jaden was confused. He sent: [Why did you suddenly ask about Lester?]

Ashley didn't hide anything. She replied: [I just met him at the entrance of Royal Entertainment.]

Jaden sent: [Lester came to Zyrrinthia?]

Ashley replied: [Yeah.]

Jaden sent: [Why? The Pliskin family's business basically does not involve Zyrrinthia.]

Ashley replied: [I don't know either.]

Jaden sent: [By the way, after your identity as the chief designer of Glory Youveile had been exposed, the customers who like the dresses you designed wanted to meet you, including the ladies from some countries and the princess of the Yavelyn royal family. Do you want to meet them?]

Frankie didn't sleep all night. After being rained all night and blown by the wind in the morning, he now had a high fever. His eyes were bloodshot.

He had not returned to Ramos Villa last night when the dinner had ended, but he had just walked around in the rain all night, and his legs were swollen and numb.

Frankie didn't want to return to Ramos Villa, and neither knew where to go.

He didn't want to answer the phone calls from the Ramos family, so he simply turned off his phone.

Unknowingly, he had already walked to the entrance of Royal Entertainment in the rain.

Frankie had been standing there without drinking water since this morning. At noon, he finally saw Ashley.

Like a sneaky thief, he secretly saw Ashley walking into the company, coming out, and talking to a man in a wheelchair.

Then, unconsciously, he quietly followed her.

After following her just a few steps, Ashley spotted him.

Seeing Ashley's indifferent eyes, Frankie wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. His voice was hoarse due to a high fever. "I..."

Ashley didn't have the patience to listen to his nonsense. "Get out of the way."

Her voice was chill.

Frankie had a high fever, but he felt somewhat cold. What Ashley said struck him like an ice cube in his throat, gradually melting and flowing into his heart. That feeling made him almost shed tears.

Ashley ignored him and left.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard a bang behind, like the sound of someone falling.

She paused slightly and continued walking forward without looking back.

Frankie lay on the ground, looking at her decisive figure. He trembled with convulsions and struggled to get up from the ground...

*****

Within a few days, Ashley heard that Frankie was missing and could not be found.
