Chapter 294

At the Giovanni residence, Richard was originally going to make a big scene because of Stephanie’s matter.

But unexpectedly, it was the document in Dan’s hand that got Richard worked up first.

Now, the whole situation was a total mess, and Sofia was right in the middle of it, stuck with no way out.

Meanwhile, over at Lorenzo’s villa, Stephanie had been gone for about two hours. Ella was completely stunned.

When Lorenzo told her where her mother was, Ella just stared at him, shocked. “Dark Portal?” she asked.

What’s this Dark Portal? Who names their group like that? How could my mom possibly be involved with a group like that?‘ she thought.

Lorenzo set his cup down and nodded. “From the clues, it seems your mom was taken by someone from the Dark Portal.”

“What’s the Dark Portal?” Ella asked. She’d heard of it before and knew it was a dangerous group. They were into all sorts of illegal stuff, but she didn’t know the details.

Lorenzo shot her a quick look. “Burning, killing, and looting, you get it?”

Ella’s mouth hung open as she thought, That kind of place? Seriously?‘

“No way. My mom’s a legit businesswoman. She wouldn’t have anything to do with a group like that. She’s all about building connections and being polite,” she said.

In Ella’s mind, Andrea had made a lot of money over the years, but she was never arrogant about it. She wasn’t like Stephanie’s mom, Catlin, who had just 650 thousand dollars but acted like she was worth 65 million dollars.

Andrea had always been low–key and friendly with everyone. Even if she had business rivals, she never made enemies on

purpose.

Lorenzo shrugged. “We still need to confirm if she’s really with the Dark Portal.”

Ella thought for a second. “Then… Then I’ll call Stefi.”

Now that she had some news about Andrea, Ella was eager to call Stephanie. She had sent Stephanie away earlier because Lorenzo hadn’t told her anything about her mom’s whereabouts.

But now that she had the information, reaching out to Stefi was the first thing on her mind.

When Lorenzo heard this, his face darkened. Just as Ella was about to call, he snatched the phone right out of her hand.

Ella stared at him, confused. “What are you doing?”
