Chapter 276

Lorenzo glanced at Ella, but he didn’t say anything.

His silence only made Ella more confused. She had no idea what he meant by that.

Her heart started racing. She instinctively swallowed and tried to pull away from him.

But Lorenzo tightened his grip around her, holding her in place. His voice was calm as he said, “Be a little bolder from now on, got it?”

Ella was shocked, thinking, ‘Be bolder? How? In front of him? Doesn’t he have the power to crush me with a single move?

She was scared. She didn’t dare to do anything wrong.

Lorenzo finally released her.

Ella, now free, immediately scrambled to put some distance between them.

“I swear I didn’t mean to give you the wrong medicine. I really didn’t,” Ella mumbled, her voice growing quieter as she spoke.

It was clear from Bernard’s words earlier that she’d scared herself more than she realized. She didn’t want anyone to think that she had bad intentions.

Lorenzo finally spoke up again. “Stefi’s intelligence isn’t that high. It’s not surprising she made a mistake, especially since Mr. Giovanni spoiled her and never taught her how to judge people properly.”

Ella blinked, totally confused.

“What do you mean?” she asked.

‘Why did he suddenly bring up Stefi when we’re talking about him taking the wrong medicine?‘ Ella thought.

Clearly, Ella couldn’t really understand what Lorenzo meant by his words.

Lorenzo gave her a deep look, his eyes unreadable.
