Ella’s heart still pounded as she stared at the phone, the empty dial tone echoing in her ear. She tried calling Andrea back, but the call was cut off after just two rings.

She was about to try again when her phone buzzed with another call. This time, it was Emily Jensen, Andrea’s assistant. “Ella, where are you right now? I’ll come pick you up.”

“I’ll go pack my bags right now. Just wait for me at home,” Ella replied.

“No need to pack. We need to leave for Fiorenza immediately. Please send me your location, Emily said firmly.

Ella hesitated. Her heart was in her throat. She had a gut feeling that whatever was happening with her mom was serious- deadly serious. Part of her didn’t want to leave. “What exactly happened to my mom?” she asked, her voice trembling with anxiety.

“That’s not something you need to worry about,” Emily replied.

But Ella wasn’t backing down and insisted, desperation creeping into her voice, “I’m her daughter, Emily. Tell me what’s happening.

That’s Ms. Turner’s business. I don’t think you should get involved,” Emily said, her voice unwavering.

“I want to see her. Where is she?” Ella shouted into the phone, her voice cracking as she got into her car. All she wanted was to see Andrea.

“You can’t see Ms. Turner right now,” Emily said.

“Why?” Ella pressed, her voice urgent.

“Because I don’t know where she is either,” Emily admitted.

Ella felt a chill run through her entire body. Emily, who was always by her mom’s side, didn’t know where she was. Panic surged through her.

She hung up the call and sent her location to Emily, who replied with a voice message: [Just stay where you are.]

Ella stood in the cold wind, shivering slightly. Christmas was just around the corner, and usually, no matter how busy her mom was, they always spent it together. But this year, she was being sent away. A feeling of suffocation tightened around her chest.

Stephanie was glued to the video Ella had sent her. In it, Amber was losing it, throwing clothes at Olivia over and over again. She even wound up and slapped her twice, her face a storm of anger.

Amber really had a temper like a lit fuse. Just by watching her, you could tell that Olivia had used the same tricks on Amber that she’d used on others. When faced with misunderstandings, some people explain, but others lash out.

Sebastian glanced at the screen of Stephanie’s phone. “The Hart family’s drama?”

“Yeah, Ella sent it to me,” Stephanie replied.

Sebastian scoffed. “She’s still got the energy to rubberneck?”

Stephanie’s eyes widened in disbelief. Ella had been bawling over the phone just moments ago, acting like she was too scared
