Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 105 105: A favor

[Ella's Cabin]

"She seemed a little off this time. Perhaps the incident has left her traumatized, I suppose," Ella remarked thoughtfully as she disclosed her visit to Lilith's house before Stefan.

Though Ella was not sure why he asked her to see the woman, she was happy that she did. Although Ms. Volkov was fortunate that the intruder did not hurt her, she could not shake the feeling that both of the women were concealing something.

Stefan remained silent and continued to look straight ahead. He seemed to be thinking very deeply about something, which piqued Ella's interest.

"What is going on, Stefan?" she inquired, examining his composed demeanor closely.

Ella was more dubious about Stefan's interest than Ms. Volkov. She sensed that he was searching for something, even though he made an effort to seem sincere about it.

The instant she said those words, Stefan gave her a sidelong glance and sighed.

"I am attempting to assist my friend, and Dr. Lilith is the sole individual who can assist us," he uttered, shocking Ella.

Stefan knew he could trust Ella on this so he immediately told her the entire story.

Ella found the whole thing surprising. She questioned whether he was a student at a university or a spy, working covertly to identify the perpetrator.

Stefan's talents once again astounded her, and she could not help but be drawn to him.

He stated gravely, "We do suspect someone, but we do not have any concrete evidence against him."
