Chapter 392

After Ella escaped the dangerous situation at the airport, her back was drenched in cold sweat. She looked at Lorenzo, trying to catch her breath. “Can you release me now?”

Thinking about how this man had acted just moments ago, she was convinced he had carried her like that on purpose.

Lorenzo chuckled softly as he let her go. His smile seemed as if he were playfully teasing a kitten, and he was enjoying it too.

Ella sat up next to him, fuming but afraid to express her anger. After all, he had just saved her. She wasn’t someone who repaid kindness with ingratitude. “Alright, tell me. What do you want?” she asked.

“Your allowance?” Lorenzo replied.

Ella was shocked. At this moment, Lorenzo seemed like a completely different person from the one at the airport. Still, she was cautious around this teasing Lorenzo, having witnessed how ruthless he could be. She knew very well how dangerous he could be.

Before she could say anything else, Lorenzo’s phone rang. He picked it up and said, “Speak.”

“Yeah, got it,” he replied and hung up. The playful banter he had with Ella disappeared, replaced by complete seriousness.

He called another number and instructed, “Bring Bernard and Cecil, and go to Coconut Bay.”

“Okay,” replied the one on the other end of the line.

Lorenzo ended the call and glanced at Ella, the playfulness in his eyes gone. Ella met his gaze and felt a chill in her heart. It was that look, the same one from the airport, which made her too scared to say anything extra.

Feeling the danger emanating from him, Ella was almost sure that wherever they were going next wouldn’t be a pleasant scene.

“Uh, could you drop me off up ahead?” she asked. The scenes from the airport flooded her mind, and she definitely didn’t want to experience that again.

Lorenzo glanced at her, a cold smile on his lips. “Are you that scared?”

“Who wouldn’t be scared? I’ve never seen anything like that,” Ella retorted. It was only normal for her to be afraid.

When she encountered troublemakers, she could argue with them. But being around Lorenzo was definitely more complicated. Considering her current situation and the events at two airports within 24 hours, she was completely stunned.

Lorenzo asked, “Where to?”

“What?” Ella glanced at him, confused.

“Where to,” Lorenzo repeated, his tone growing heavier with a touch of impatience.

Ella quickly responded, “Mount Red.” It was the place her mother had arranged for her to go. But with those people now having chased her all the way to Fiorenza, she wasn’t sure if Mount Red was still safe for her.

As she was lost in thought, the car had already turned around. It was clear that Lorenzo planned to drop Ella off at Mount Red before going to Coconut Bay.

However, just then, Ella’s phone started ringing. It was Emily calling—who Ella had been about to call to ask how she was doing.

Ella saw the number and quickly answered, “Emily, how are you?”

Emily replied, “Ms. Turner, where are you now? Are you safe?”

“Yeah?” Ella glanced uncertainly at Lorenzo, her voice wavering.

Emily was stunned for a moment. “You—”

Before Emily could finish speaking, Ella quickly cut in, “I’m safe.” As long as she hadn’t fallen into those people’s hands, she considered herself safe.

Emily heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. “What about you? Are you safe?”

“I’m okay. But you can’t go to Mount Red now.”

“Huh?”

“Those people have tracked us to Fiorenza. I suspect they have discovered the place your mom arranged for you. Mount Red isn’t safe for you right now,”

Ella fell silent—just as she had expected. But now, she was completely lost. “What should I do?” she asked.

Emily replied, “I need to reach out to Ms. Andrea Turner first. Don’t check into any hotels yet, and wait for my update.”

Ella definitely couldn’t head to the hotel. Those people all knew about her, and registering hotel details would surely reveal her location.
