Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 321

The sight filled her with a mix of fear and suffocation. Whether she wanted to admit it or not, and whether she was willing to accept it, Ella knew that this kind of scene might become a constant presence in her life.

After all, her mother was part of it all.

Lorenzo, Bernard, Cecil, and Eric were heading to the study together. As they passed by Ella’s room, Lorenzo paused, tilting his head slightly. The cold, stern aura be exuded was palpable.

Eric, sensing the tension, broke the silence first. “Let’s head to the study first,” he said, giving the others a meaningful look before walking off.

Bernard, trailing behind, smirked to himself. ‘A guy with a girl really is different,‘ he thought. ‘But then again, not quite. Boss didn’t update Ella before heading out

Once the others had left, Lorenzo was alone. He reached for the doorknob to Ella’s room, but it was locked tight. Clearly, Ella had locked it from the inside again.

Lorenzo’s stern expression softened, and a mischievous smile played at the corners of his lips. His voice, low and gentle, carried an unexpected warmth. “Ella.”

Inside the room, Ella was consumed by worry over her mother. When she saw Lorenzo and his men return with blood on them, she didn’t feel the same intense fear as before.

She was so lost in thought that she didn’t even notice the slight change in Lorenzo’s tone. Her desperation overshadowed her fear, and her response was careless and perfunctory. “What?” she replied weakly.

Lorenzo, standing outside the door, was taken aback for a moment by the lack of fear in her voice. His smile widened. “Open the door.”

“No,” Ella said flatly.

Lorenzo’s eyes widened in surprise. She showed no fear and refused so directly. ‘Where did this confidence come from?‘

“Are you sure about that?” His tone deepened, and even through the door, the subtle pressure in his voice was hard to miss.

Ella’s mind snapped back to reality at the sound of his voice. The fear crept back into her tone. “I…”

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow, sensing something was off. “Open the door. Let me see you.”
