Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 320

Stephanie didn’t think this was so–called “help“. But then she remembered how much Andrea had worried about Ella before she disappeared. “Sebastian’s right,‘ she thought.

“Ella’s with Lorenzo.” Stephanie blurted out, her voice tinged with urgency. “And he thinks she’s working against him. I need to bring her back here.” She couldn’t shake the feeling that it was her duty to protect Ella, especially after everything Andrea had done for her.

Sebastian sighed, his expression turning thoughtful. He had hoped Stephanie would understand that Ella’s safety was the priority, but he hadn’t expected her to want to take Ella away from Lorenzo.

He remembered how Ella and Stephanie had been inseparable back in Long Harbor. If Ella came here, they’d be together all the time, and he wasn’t sure if that was a good idea.

He rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. “I don’t think you’ll be able to take her away.”

Stephanie’s eyes widened in confusion. “Why not?”

“Because Lorenzo won’t let you,” Sebastian replied, his voice firm.

Is it because Ella practically stripped him? Stephanie felt a headache coming on just thinking about Ella’s impulsive behavior. She had no idea how Ella had managed to do that, but it was definitely absurd. She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts.

“Is it because Lorenzo thinks she’s a snitch? Because I can guarantee she’s not capable of that. Ella’s not that clever.” She was confident in her assessment of Ella’s abilities. If Ella had any real skills, Andrea wouldn’t have been constantly asking for her help.

Sebastian’s eyes softened as he looked at her. “Lorenzo likes her.”

‘That story again,‘ Stephanie thought, her mind racing. She couldn’t help but wonder if it was really true. She glanced at Sebastian, trying to read his expression, but he just looked thoughtful.

It wasn’t just Stephanie who had doubts; Ella herself was uncertain. When she received Stephanie’s call, Ella was nervously sitting in her room.

Before, as long as she didn’t have to face Lorenzo, she felt okay. But now, things were different. Even when Lorenzo wasn’t nd, she couldn’t shake

the feeling of unease.

Watching Lorenzo get into the car with several men carrying guns, Ella’s heart raced. She felt that being close to someone like Lorenzo meant that sooner or later, those guns would be pointed at her. She was terrified of being shot.

“Ella? Ella?” Stephanie called out over the phone not getting a response from her.

Ella snapped out of her fear. “Oh, Stefi.”
