Chapter 486
Ella heard the sound of vomiting coming from the kitchen, and her already worried face beceven stiffer. She
thought, ‘Is it that bad?"
In the kitchen, Bernard struggled to endure it but eventually couldn't. He leaned over the trash can and started
throwing up. He thought, ‘Why is it so disgusting?
Ella was speechless. Cecil and Eric exchanged a glance, then quietly turned away, as they were usually the ones
to help Bernard out. Even now, they didn’t dare to step forward.
They thought, “The timing seemed off once again. Mr. Moretti didn’t have a partner, so we barged in without
thinking. But we can’t do that anymore. Next twe want to see Mr. Moretti, we should consider if he might be
with someone. It’s bothersome.”

At this moment, Ella’s heart was pounding. She instinctively glanced at Lorenzo, then at her bowl, and finally, at
the untouched pasta, Lorenzo had pushed to her.
Ella thought, “Why Bernard's stomach is so sensitive? He kept making gagging noises in the kitchen. After just
one bite, how many times has he thrown up already?"
Ella swallowed and put down her fork and bowl, looking at Lorenzo pitifully. “I'm full. Can | go upstairs now?”
Lorenzo narrowed his eyes at her. Ella sniffled, her eyes red as she looked at him, clearly scared once more.
Lorenzo squinted his eyes and thought, ‘With such a timid spirit, how could she manage? | hadn’t even done
anything, yet she was so terrified. Stefi’s friend was so inexperienced?’
Seeing Lorenzo's silence, Ella sniffled again and gathered up the courage to ask once more, “Can 1?”
Fortunately, this tLorenzo didn’t make things difficult for her either. He nodded and said, “Go ahead.”
Hearing Lorenzo's words, Ella felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She stood up almost instinctively and
hurried upstairs. As soon as she returned to her room and shut the door, she instinctively locked it and called
Stephanie.
Stephanie, currently in the Shallow Bay Area, felt a pang of sympathy when she saw the call from Ella. Within
just a couple of days, she had already figured it out. If Ella was calling her, it usually meant Lorenzo had scared
her again.
Stephanie picked up the phone. “Ella, don’t worry. I'll return tonight. There shouldn't be any more unexpected
issues.” Earlier, Sebastian had already started packing things up.
Ella cried into the phone, “Stefi,” her voice choked with sobs.
Stephanie patiently comforted her, “Alright, | know you're scared. I'll cand get you soon, and then wherever
1 go, you'll go
with me, okay?”
Stephanie thought about it and realized it wasn’t wise to leave Ella with Lorenzo. She remembered witnessing
Sebastian doing something terrible in the past. The scene had scared her so much that she becwithdrawn,
and for a long tafter, she often had nightmares.
Ella had never experienced such violent scenes growing up. Her previously peaceful world was suddenly chaotic,

Stephanie coaxed gently, “Don’t cry; you can be sure Lorenzo won't do anything to you.” Lorenzo usually had a
stern look and didn’t say much, which made him genuinely intimidating.
Since Stephanie personally asked Lorenzo to look after Ella, he was going to keep her safe. So Stephanie felt
comfortable letting Ella stay with him. However, she hadn't expected so many incidents around Ella once she
was with Lorenzo.

All this made Ella, who was already struggling to accept her suddenly chaotic world, feel even worse. Especially
because all those unexpected events were bad. Stephanie decided to take Ella under her wing as soon as she
got back.
Ella asked. “Really?”
