Theodore’s heart tightened at these words. Of course, he knew why Stephanie was drawn to Sebastian. But he

Theodore paused.
Richard took a sip of the red wine in front of him, saying nothing more.
Theodore thought for a moment and continued, “You and Sebastian really don’t need to be in such a mess. You
should dear up those misunderstandings. Or do you plan to stay in Paginara forever?”
Richard raised an eyebrow, a cold smile playing on his lips. “You're right; it's tto clear up those
misunderstanding. | should head back to Fiorenza too.”
Theodore felt there was something off about Richard's tone. Going back was one thing, but it seemed Richard's
reason wasn’t simple. It wasn’t just because Richard was an illegitimate child. Thinking about Richard's father,
Theodore felt even sorrier for Richard.
Richard's long fingers tapped rhythmically on the table as he mouthed the word “misunderstanding” Both
sarcasm and
amusement were clear.
Stephanie had a late-night snack. After she and Sebastian returned, Macro and Elliot went to the study, and Ella
called her.
Ella was sobbing so hard on the phone that she could barely breathe.
Honestly, Ella had never cried like this before. Stephanie soothed her over the phone like she was calming a
baby. “Tell me, what has upset you? Who's been bothering you? I'll take care of them for you.”
Stephanie thought, ‘Who could possibly be chasing Ella to the point of tears? If that’s how it is... | really need to

contacts in Fiorenza.
Stephanie also had her own people, given to her by Sebastian. Since being forced out of Fiorenza by Richard's
threats, she hadn't activated them because she had to stay away from both Richard and Sebastian.
With Ella sobbing so much, Stephanie wanted to help figure out what happened to Andrea, but Ella was crying
too hard to explain. “Please, don’t cry, okay? I'll have someone look into things for you.”
Stephanie frowned, thinking, ‘Being with Lorenzo, and with things unresolved, now she’s crying like this. What's

Did Lorenzo bully her? No, that can’t be. Lorenzo is usually quite aloof; he wouldn't go out of his way to bother
Ella?
The she heard Ella cried, “It was Lorenzo. He took off my clothes”
Stephanie was almost choked. “Wasn't it the maid?”
Then she remembered that Lorenzo had always been a loner, and there were no maids in his villa. The only
person there was the chef, and he was a man.
There were no female around Lorenzo. Back when Ella said she didn’t know who took off her clothes, Stephanie
should have realized that the only person was Lorenzo, no one else.
Ella didn’t get a response from Stephanie for a long tand cried even more pitifully, “Will you helpdeal
