Ella’s question chocked Stephanie. She really didn’t dare go deal with Lorenzo. She said bluntly. “I can’t do it”
Even with Sebastian backing her, there are speople Stephanie just couldn't mess with, especially those
close to Sebastian. She knew very well whom she could and couldn't provoke.
Ella cried even harder. “Stefi, you're not helping me.*
“Ah, it's not that; | just don’t dare.”
Ella cried loudly.
“He didn’t do anything to you, did he?” Stephanie asked cautiously.
Sofia always had reliable information. Since she had talked with Stephanie about Lorenzo’s impotence, Stephanie
believed that it was the truth.

Ella whimpered, “Didn’t you say he was harmless? How could he do anything to me?” Lying on the bed, Ella
glanced instinctively at the door as soon as she spoke.
Earlier, she had promised that if Lorenzo helped her get through her trouble, she would stop talking about others
gossip. She thought, ‘l am just mentioning it to Stefi; it won't hurt. Besides, the door is locked.”
Stephanie said, “Exactly. So if he didn’t actually do anything to you, why are you crying? Crying like this makes
Ella said, “Well, he sawnaked. How could | not cry? He's uncouth, and I'm still an unmarried, decent
woman!”
Stephanie said, “True, that makes sense.”
Ella moaned even more loudly.
Stephanie offered, “How about | send someone to bring you to the Giovanni family?”
“The Giovanni family?” Ella’s crying stopped abruptly.
Stephanie said, “Yeah, you're being hunted everywhere you go now. | thought you'd be safe with Lorenzo, but it
seems like you're not happy with him.”
Ella was really upsetting. Lorenzo was always so cold; his stare was as scary as a wolf's eyes. Just one more look
made her heart shake. “So the foster mom who raised you, Mrs. Lucano, she lives there too, right?”
“Of course.”
Though everyone in Fiorenza habitually called Lottie Mrs. Lucano, she was actually the head of the Giovanni
family. The way of addressing in Fiorenza was different from what Ella was used to. Before Lottie got married,
everyone called her Ms. Lucano, and now it was Mrs. Lucano.
Ella said, “Then I'm not going.”
“Why?”
“You know, | don’t have much experience dealing with older people,” Ella said with ssadness in her voice.
She grew up in a single-parent family, and her mom, who raised her, only did the basics-raise her. They rarely
spent ttogether.
As for grandpas, grandmas, and the like, unfortunately, Ella didn’t have any of those either. She only had Andrea.

Stephanie reassured. “She is great, easy to get along with.”
“Yeah, even in Long Harbor, I've heard about her frightening reputation.”
Stephanie couldn't retort. Lottie was definitely resourceful. But her skills were used on opponents and enemies,
not on family and friends.
Ella said. “Anyway, I'm not going”
Stephanie asked, “Then you should stay by Lorenzo's side.”

Ella felt stressful. Being around elders, especially the amazing Lottie that Stephanie talked about, made her feel
tense. And being next to Lorenzo, her heart kept pounding from the pressure.
