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, “Chere.”
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 | flee?’
Feeling the oppressive chill from Lorenzo, Ella’s heart raced. “We can just talk like this. | can hear you.” With

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. He thought, ‘Ella is timid; | 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, | 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 ssituations, 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 takingaway. Infuriating. Ella felt even more wronged.
Lorenzo said, “Whether you are or not, we'll only know after we check.” He repeated this sentence.
Ella was scared inside but couldn’t stop giving Lorenzo a resentful look. “Then have your people investigate
faster. With a suspect likearound, you must be uneasy.”
Lorenzo was surprised at these words and gave Ella a sidelong glance. He thought, ‘Great, even though she’s
timid, she still has the nerve to speak back with such a long line.
Lorenzo didn’t say anything and got up to walk towards the door. Ella instinctively moved aside, pressing her
back against
the wall.
Lorenzo stopped next to her and glanced at the pillow in her arms. “Do you think this pillow can protect you if |
decide to do something to you?”
Ella looked at Lorenzo in shock and found a teasing glint in his eyes. Ella’s heart jumped to her throat. She
instinctively asked, “What are you planning to do to me?”

Ella thought, ‘Is he planning something? But then again, that’s unlikely. As Stephanie said, he wouldn't be
interested in me.
