Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 219 'It's only been a few days, but why do Ella and Lorenzo seem to be acting so strangely around each other? Stephanie wondered.

Ella said, "He said I'm just a mafor trouble and a danger to myself." "He actually said that to you?" Stephanie pressed her lips down.

72% 'How could he say that to a girl? And Ella isn't the type to just let things slide. Wasn't she angry about it? Wait, maybe she's too scared to react. After all, she seems a little intimidated by Lorenzo now, she thought.

"He's not entirely wrong," Ella replied. It felt like she had suddenly becan easy target, with nowhere that she truly fit in.

Hearing the sudden sadness in Ella's voice, Stephanie wanted to offer scomfort.

But before she could speak, Ella quickly said, "Stefi, I can't reach my mom right now, and Emily is missing too. I have no clue what's going on, but a lot of people are afternow." Stephanie was taken aback into silence-Ella's once-peaceful life as a little princess had just fallen apart.

Ella sighed, "Lorenzo's right. I'm just a troublemaker now, aren't I?" Stephanie disagreed. "Don't talk about yourself like that. What happened with your mom? I'll get Sebastian to check it out. If you don't want to stay with Lorenzo, I can have Sebastian send someone to pick you up." "Stefi." Ella hesitated.

Stephanie just asked, "Do you want it or not?" "Yes," Ella quickly replied. Even though she knew she was causing problems, her heart couldn't handle being around Lorenzo.

Stephanie chuckled softly. “That's the spirit.” "Am I bothering you too much?" Ella asked. After all, Stephanie was just Lottie's adopted daughter. Ella was genuinely worried about causing her trouble and upsetting the Giovanni family.

Understanding Ella's concerns, Stephanie immediately reassured, "Don't worry, you won't." They exchanged a few more words over the phone before hanging up. Stephanie decided she would tell Sebastian when he got back and ask him to send someone to pick up Ella and help her settle into their villa.

'Poor Ella. She had never dealt with such chaos before, and she must be really scared this time,' she thought.

***** On the other end of the line, Ella had managed to stay calm while talking to Stephanie. However, once she was alone, her face turned pale-clearly shocked too much.

She tried hard to scroll through her phone, hoping to distract herself. But that constant “rat-a-tat” sound kept echoing in her head, making her shiver uncontrollably.

She didn't want to trouble Stephanie, but she was too frightened of Lorenzo. She kept calling Andrea and Emi' couldn't get through to them. Eventually, the fear took its toll, and Ella developed a fever.

As Lorenzo and the others left the study and passed by the room where Ella was staying, Lorenzo paused. He told Eric and the others, “Keep a close eye on the Dohrn family." 1/3 72% Chapter 219 "Understood The group nodded. They had worked openly this time, so the Dohrn family knew it was them who had acted. If the family wasn't happy about it, there would definitely be follow-up actions.

Eric and the others noticed Lorenzo had no intention of going downstairs, so they left first. When the three of them got downstairs, Bernard, who hadn't spoken yet, asked Eric, "Did Lorenzo bring back a woman?" Eric rolled his eyes at him. "Are you blind? With hair that long, do you think it's a man? Bernard's eyes widened in shock.

Eric finished talking and walked off.

Cecil patted Bernard on the shoulder, saying, "Work more, gossip less." "Aren't you curious? Bernard asked.

Cecil shook his head. "Curious? I'd rather stay alive.

Bernard was confused.

Cecil noticed his puzzled expression and gave his shoulder a squeeze. “You know Dr. Vitale, the one who works with Mr. Moretti?" Bernard's expression darkened. "Of course, I know him. That guy talks without holding back at all.” Many people had got into trouble because of Macro. If Lorenzo and Macro were both around, it was better to stay away, or one might find himself in a mess without realizing it.

Cecil nodded. "Yeah. Curiosity always gets the better of him, and his thoughts can't keep up with his words." Bernard fell silent.

-Cecil continued, "So, don't be curious." Once someone got curious, their brain definitely couldn't keep up with their mouth.

Then, Cecil walked away.

Bernard scratched his head, still curious about the woman Lorenzo brought back. He quickly caught up with Cecil and asked, "All these years, Mr. Moretti just enjoyed watching beautiful women without ever making a move. Could it be he's finally recovered?" Cecil's heart raced, and his hand moved faster than his mind, quickly covering Bernard's mouth. He shot him a sharp look and swiftly pulled him toward the car.

"Are you really trying to take a page from Dr. Vitale's book? Mr. Moretti nearly drowned him at sea," Cecil warned.

Looks like I'll need to steer clear of Bernard from now on. There are plenty of guys who love to gossip, but he takes it to a whole new level, sharing secrets that should stay hidden, as if he doesn't care about the risks, he thought.

On the second floor of the villa, Ella was lying in bed, half-asleep, vaguely hearing an agitated voice. Something cold touched her lips. Being thirsty, she began to drink eagerly.

Lorenzo looked at her flushed face, a sign of fever, and quickly handed her a fever-reducing pill, then helped her sip swater.

After Ella swallowed the pill, Lorenzo was about to take the cup away when she grabbed his arm-she seemed very thirsty. Lorenzo's expression turned grim, and he wished he could just throw this frail girl out.

"She's really as delicate as a sheltered princess," he murmured, thinking, 'If she falls into the wrong hands, who knows what 2/3 al, 22 Chapter 219 might happen to her.

72% Lorenzo fed Ella an entire glass of water, thinking she would let go. But as he tried to pull his arm away, she just held on tighter.

Her delicate eyebrows knitted together. Her small mouth kept murmuring, "Mom..." "Open your eyes and see clearly." Lorenzo's expression turned completely dark-who the hell was her mom?

He pinched her burning chin, trying to get her to open her eyes. But shen couldn't if manage it at all. They were so close that he could almost feel her hot breath against his face. Just then, Ella's phone vibrated. Lorenzo took it out to look-it was an unknown number. He answered it directly.

But before he could say anything, a cold, menacing voice cthrough the line, Ms. Turner, please hand E over the item. If you can't, then..."

The man on the other end paused for a moment before continuing in a chilling tone, "Otherwise you won't e have a peaceful place to live in this world, and the people close to you will also be swept up in your troubles." Lorenzo's eyes narrowed slightly. "Are you threatening her?" The man on the phone asked, "Who are you?" Lorenzo replied, his voice icy, "Didn't the person who called today tell you? I'm Lorenzo Moretti." Instantly, the man on the phone ended the call. But even these few words clearly highlighted Ella's situation.
