Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 216 Chapter 216 +53) Stephanie felt her mouth twitch. She glanced at Macro, then at Sebastian, her mind spinning with confusion. What did Lorenzo mean? Is it what I think it is? No, that's too fast! Is Ella on board with this? There's no way she would have been willing, especially in a situation like this. So what the heck does it all mean?' she thought.

Macro took a sharp breath. "Lorenzo, you're something else. Did Ms. Turner really manage to get your pants-" "If you say another word, I promise your mouth won't last till tomorrow." Lorenzo's icy threat interrupted before Macro could finish speaking.

Macro shot up instantly.

"So, Lorenzo, what do you mean by that? Was Ella willing?" Stephanic asked anxiously.

0 But before Lorenzo could respond, Ella's cries cthrough. “Stefi, you must save me. I didn't chere willingly. I almost died. I'm scared-" Suddenly, the call ended.

Stephanie and Macro looked directly at Sebastian.

"Sebastian, you heard it all, right? Ella didn't do it voluntarily," Stephanie said, panicking.

Macro echoed, "Lorenzo is such a jerk. He's only met Ms. Turner a few times and already treats her like that." He thought, "Ella was really bold that tat Shallow Bay. But Stephanie said that Ella didn't mean to do it and had no bad intentions." Stephanie seldom agreed with Macro, but this time, she nodded. "Yeah, you can't treat Ella like that. Didn't you hear how she cried on the phone earlier?" Ella's voice was full of fear, as if Lorenzo had actually done something terrible.

Sebastian rubbed his aching forehead, remaining silent.

"Sebastian," Stephanie called in a begging tone, shaking his arm urgently. She was worried sick about Ella. Sebastian replied, "Relax, Lorenzo knows his limits." "Then how did he scare Ella like that?" Stephanie retorted. 'Lorenzo has no limits at all. Ella definitely shouldn't stay around Lorenzo; she might really get scared." Macro nodded. “Yeah, just look how scared she is." Sebastian gave Macro a look, and Macro turned around with his bowl while saying, "I'm just speaking the truth." Sebastian kicked at him. If Macro hadn't dodged quickly, with the force Sebastian used, that kick would have sent both him and the bowl crashing to the ground.

As Sebastian got angry, Stephanie glanced at Macro and said, "You stay quiet." His mouth was giving everyone a headache.

Macro felt wronged. 'Didn't you say Lorenzo is over the top, too?' Stephanie clung to Sebastian's arm. "Help Ella out, won't you?" Ella had seemed brave in Long Harbor, but she'd never faced a situation like this before. Stephanie understood how someone inexperienced could completely break down when confronted with such intense circumstances. When Stephanie first witnessed Sebastian kill someone, it had traumatized her for months.

1/3 09:3 Sat, 22 Mar Chapter 216 ☐☐☐☐ 72% 53) Sebastian couldn't withstand her persistence. Given how Ella had taken good care of Stephanie back in Long Harbor, he eventually made another call to Lorenzo.

Lorenzo answered, "Hey, Sebastian." "Be gentle with that girl," Sebastian said, "How can I be gentle in a scene like that?" Lorenzo replied, almost reflexively. It was like Sebastian was asking the impossible.

Stephanie and Macro couldn't understand Lorenzo's straightforward comment. 'A scene like that? What is it?' Stephanie glanced at Sebastian, who couldn't stand her gaze. “Just, don't scare her, okay?" he said.

Lorenzo explained helplessly, "It wasn'twho scared her." Ella just couldn't handle the scene.

"Well, she..." Stephanie wanted to ask how Ella had ended up under Lorenzo, but the words caught in her throat. Lorenzo said, "Stefi, don't pick up Macro's way of talking." Macro was caught in the crossfire for no reason, almost losing his cool in anger.

Stephanie paused-she just wanted to ask about Ella. "Can I have a quick chat with Ella?" she asked. It was impossible to explain things to Lorenzo, so the only person she could turn to was Ella.

Sebastian said, "Pass the phone to Ella." Lorenzo replied, "She's already passed out." Stephanie fell silent. 'Passed out? Just how scared was she at that moment?' Sebastian exchanged a few more words with Lorenzo before hanging up, advising him not to be too hard on Ella. Stephanie looked at Sebastian with concerned eyes, still worried about Ella.

Sebastian gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Easy now. Ella was probably with him when he dealt with the Dohrn family." Stephanie frowned. 'When Lorenzo went on a mission? No doubt about it Stephanie Ella would be really scared.

In the car, Ella was curled up between Lorenzo's legs, unwilling to move regardless of what was said.

Lorenzo's large hand reached out to her. "Get up." Ella shook her head, tars pouring down her face.

Lorenzo's expression turned serious. "Do you plan to stay between my legs forever?" Ella remained silent.

Lorenzo seized her slim wrist, prepared to pull her up, but she didn't dare. The car windows had bullet holes in them; it didn't feel safe to sit up. “I'll just sit right here," she insisted.

"Ella Turner." Lorenzo's tone was more intense.

"I want to go back to Long Harbor, I want to go home," Ella pleaded and burst into tears.

In an unfamiliar place, going through something like this, who wouldn't lose it? Now, Ella just wanted to go home, back to 2/3 09:51 Sat, 22 Mar Chapter 216 where she grew up, back to her own house where it felt safer.

Lorenzo chuckled softly, “Ms. Turner, have you thought about how you ended up in Fiorenza?" Ella looked at him, confused.

Lorenzo said, "If I'm not mistaken, something must have happened to you in Long Harbor, right?" 72% 53

Ella had lived in Long Harbor her whole life, and her mother was no ordinary person either a formidable a woman thriving in the cutthroat woman business world. But now, Ella suddenly showed up in Fiorenza, with people at the airport relentlessly following her. Who wouldn't think she was on the run? Ella breathed heavily, tears streaming as she stared at Lorenzo.

Lorenzo's hand was still extended towards her. "Get up. It's safe now." "Really?" Ella choked out. To her, it seemed like nowhere felt safe suddenly.

Lorenzo wasn't someone who comforted women well. To be honest, he found tears quite om annoying. Ella wasn't Stephanie's best friend and if Stephanie hadn't asked him to look after her over the phone, he would've thrown this crybaby out of the car, "Con, it's not that big of a deal for you to cry this much," he said, his patience wearing thin.

"Not a big deal?" Ella broke down even more. Her tears were flooding like there was no end.

Seeing her tear-streaked face, Lorenzo was at a loss. "Alright, alright, it's a big deal. You were scared. But it's safe now."

Ella shook her head. She had spent almost the whole journey dodging bullets. This time, she truly felt what real danger was. Now, when Lorenzo said it was safe, she just couldn't bring herself to trust it and couldn't even remember what true safety felt like. Seeing her still crying, Lorenzo completely lost his patience and snapped, "If you cry one more time, I'll throw you out right away." This tactic worked like magic, as Ella immediately shut up-she fainted.
