Chapter 606
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 beca 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 he 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.

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

She was so lost in thought that she didn’t even notice the slight change in Lorenzo’s tone. Her desperation

“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. Letsee you.”
“I just want to be alone for a while, okay?” Ella’s voice trembled. She really needed squiet tto herself.
Lorenzo's expression darkened. Her mention of wanting to be alone made it even more obvious that something
was wrong. “Open the door.” His tone was now forceful.
Ella instinctively rubbed her hands together, recalling the image of Lorenzo climbing over the balcony. She knew
there was no keeping him out.

‘Oh man, what does his injury have to do with me? Stefi has toldnot to get involved, not to care about
anything. I'm not a professional at treating wounds, and I'm not good at taking care of people,’ she thought.

“What's up? Thinking about taking something fromagain?”
Ella’s mouth twitched sharply. She quickly shook her head. “No. | wasn’t thinking of taking anything from you.
Honestly, it wasn’t on purpose before either.”
The more she tried to explain, the more anxious she became. ‘What does he mean by that? Does he seriously
think everything I've done was intentional? This is really unfair. | didn’t mean to do any of it!
“Not on purpose?” Lorenzo’s smile grew wider.
