Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 299

After Cecil hung up, it was just Ella and Lorenzo left. Ella stood awkwardly by the cabinet, glancing nervously at Lorenzo. He sat down on the sofa and said, “Come here.”

Ella still hugged her pillow tightly. When Lorenzo spoke, she hugged it tighter, instinctively stepping back. “I don’t want to.” Her words and actions were sincere. These past days, Lorenzo had left a significant psychological impact on her.

Seeing Ella fear him, Lorenzo’s smile faded, replaced by an icy expression. “Hmm?” With that sound, Ella could feel the danger in his tone even more clearly.

At that moment, Ella wanted to open the door and run. But she didn’t dare. Ella thought, ‘Under Lorenzo’s watchful gaze, where can I flee?‘

Feeling the oppressive chill from Lorenzo, Ella’s heart raced. “We can just talk like this. I can hear you.” With those last words, Ella took another step back.

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. He thought, ‘Ella is timid; I hadn’t even said much, and she was already this scared?‘ Lorenzo thought about what Cecil had discovered.

Lorenzo thought, ‘From the information we gathered, Ella wasn’t timid when she was in Long Harbor. It seems the recent intense battles had completely frightened her.’

Ella saw Lorenzo staying silent and stammered, “Actually, I have something to ask you.” Although Ella was scared, she knew she needed to get it clear. Her voice was small, but she was brave enough to ask.

Lorenzo’s stern lips curled back into a smile. “Alright.”

Ella asked, “Why did you tell Mr. Giovanni that you like me?” She needed to ask this question. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sleep well for the next few days.

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. “What do you think?”

The worst thing was being asked a question back. In some situations, it could make you feel unaware. Ella clutched the pillow. “I don’t know.”

Lorenzo replied, “It’s obviously to make Mr. Giovanni keep you here. Otherwise, you’ll cause trouble somewhere else.”

“I’m not a spy!” Ella quietly emphasized. She thought, ‘How could he speak like that? Clearly, he said it on purpose to keep Stefi from taking me away. Infuriating. Ella felt even more wronged.

Lorenzo said, “Whether you are or not, we’ll only know after we check.” He repeated this sentence.
