Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 212 Chapter 212 When Sebastian cin, he saw Stephanie on the phone, one of her legs sticking out from under the covers.

It was probably because the room was warm, and she had kicked the blanket off after he left. Without a word, he walked over and covered her up properly.

"Alright, that's it," Stephanie said into the phone. She didn't care how chaotic the Hart residence was at this point. As long as they weren't having a good time, that was all that mattered.

Noticing her slight smile, Sebastian chuckled. “Is it something about the Hart family?" "Yeah, Allison sold them soutrageously expensive medicine. I'm guessing the Hart family is in chaos right now," Stephanie said.

Without Amber, they'd be running around like crazy about getting money. With Amber, they'd be still scrambling, but now over who got the money. The Hart family must be just pure chaos at this point.

Sebastian placed his broad hand on the back of Stephanie's head, resting it against her forehead. "Stefi, you're just too kind-hearted." To him, the Hart family deserved a brutal punishment. But since they were her blood relatives, Sebastian couldn't do anything without her permission. Now, however, the entire family was surrounded and locked down. The physical torment and endless internal struggle seemed pretty much the same.

"With her body already in such bad shape, there's nothing I even need to do," Stephanie said.

Originally, if Allison hadn't mentioned Olivia's poor health, Stephanie would definitely have stepped in. But after learning about Olivia's actual condition, Stephanie decided she didn't need to do anything.

"Exactly, and no need for dirty work," Sebastian said.

"Totally," Stephanie nodded.

Sebastian looked at her and couldn't resist giving her a gentle kiss. "Does it feel better after using that ointment earlier?" "What do you want?" Stephanie asked suspiciously.

"Don't worry; I won't do anything," Sebastian reassured her. The doctor had said Stephanie needed to rest and take care of her health during this time. Until she was fully recovered, they couldn't make out.

Stephanie didn't believe him and grabbed Sebastian's shirt collar. "Swear it." The man caught her warm little hand and couldn't help but give it a squeeze. "Yeah, I swear." Stephanie quickly pulled her hand back and mumbled complaints, still unwilling to believe anything.

In Fiorenza, Ella stepped off the plane with empty hands, accompanied by Emily. As they walked toward the exit, Emily's eyes darted around nervously, scanning the crowd with a wary expression.

Since she'd picked Ella up in Long Harbor, Emily had been on high alert, as if expecting trouble at every turn. Now, even in Fiorenza, her tension hadn't eased.

Ella couldn't help but lean over and whisper in Emily's ear, "We're in Fiorenza now. Can you relax a bit?" Emily glanced at her. "We need to get to the manor quickly," she replied, her voice tight with urgency.

1/3 Chapter 212 Ella raised an eyebrow. "And then? You're not planning to keepcooped up inside, are you?" She couldn't help but feel a little exasperated. Emily's cautious demeanor suggested that she might indeed try to restrict Ella's movements.

Emily nodded, confirming Ella's fears. "Ms. Turner said we have to stay in the manor on Mount Red until we hear from her? Ella forced a bitter smile and felt a growing sense of unease. "What on earth happened to Mom?" "Let's go." Emily said, urging her to move faster.

The airport wasn't the place for a conversation. With one hand clutching her bag and the other pushing Ella gently but firmly, Emily hurried them along.

But despite her vigilance, trouble found them anyway. As they passed a restroom entrance, two men with caps pulled low over their eyes glared at them, their gazes sharp and menacing.

Almost instinctively, Emily locked eyes with one of the men, and her breath caught in her throat. “Run!" she shouted, shoving Ella forward with surprising force.

Ella, who had been lost in thought about her mother's troubles, stumbled but quickly regained her balance. Her mind raced as she heard Emily's desperate command, and she took off running without a second thought.

Emily winced as she saw Ella nearly fall. But before she could help, Ella was already sprinting away, her movements swift and determined, like a gust of wind. Emily was left speechless, her heart pounding.

"Get them," the men behind shouted, recognizing Emily and Ella. They started chasing after them, their footsteps heavy and urgent.

Emily kicked off her low-heeled shoes and sprinted after Ella, her mind flashing back to Andrea's words on the phone.

She'd said Ella would be safe once they reached Fiorenza, but Emily had never fully believed it. And now, her worst fears seemed to be coming true.

"Stop!" the men roared, their voices filled with anger. Emily ran as fast as she could, bumping into several people in her haste. But when she looked ahead, Ella was nowhere to be seen.

Panic surged through Emily. She'd been so focused on protecting Ella, but now it seemed the one who needed to worry the most was herself.

Ella ran like a madwoman. After sprinting for what felt like an eternity, she finally paused to catch her breath and glanced back, gasping for air. Her eyes widened in shock-there was nothing but the slow trickle of passengers leaving the airport. Emily was gone.

Ella's mind raced. She hadn't seen the two men Emily had spotted earlier. That instinctive shout to run had triggered something primal in her, and she'd bolted without thinking, just putting her head down and running for her life.

Now, standing there panting, she pulled out her phone, intending to call Emily. But before she could dial, she Sve saw Emily Sprinting toward her, two men in black hats hot on her heels. No, wait-there were more, several others following not far behind. 'Are they all after me?' Ella's mind reeled. 'What kind of trouble has Mom gotteninto?' Emily saw Ella and grabbed her arm, shaking her out of her daze. "Run, now!" she yelled.

Ella's legs reacted on pure instinct, moving faster than her brain could could process. Despite hex short stature, she had always been a surprising runner, consistently ranking in the top five in long-distance races at school.

Exiting the airport, she spotted a black SUV with its engine running and the door slowly closing. Without a second thought, she leaped inside like a rabbit, desperate to escape her pursuers.

98% Chapter 212 Lorenzo was on the phone when he suddenly felt a rush of wind, followed by a force presing against his leg. The car door closed just in time.

He raised an eyebrow, looking down to see a small figure huddled beneath his legs, her back arched against his thigh. breathing heavily.

Lorenzo's eyes narrowed with a hint of amusement. "Hello? Ella's heart skipped a beat. She was crouched on the floor, eyes squeezed shut, completely unaware of the weight pressing down on her.

Hearing Lorenzo's voice, she froze, her body trembling slightly. Slowly, she lifted her head, peering through the gap between his long legs to see him looking down at her.

Their eyes met, and Lorenzo smiled, "Well, Ms. Turner, what's this for?"

Ella now realized the absurdity of her situation. In her panic, she had ended up hiding under Lorenzo's fegs. Of all the places to seek refuge, she had stumbled right into his lap. It was like fate had a twisted sense of humor. Ella forced a dry, awkward smile. "Hello, Lorenzo," she managed to say, her voice trembling slightly. On the outside, she tried to appear calm, but inside, she was a mess.
