Chapter 692

“What about Desmond? Whose side is he on?” Ella asked. It was getting messy. “The current leader found my mom.”

Lorenzo confirmed, “Yes.” The situation became even more complicated.

Ella’s mind went blank. She didn’t know much about Dark Portal, so she had no idea what kind of mess this was. However, she only had one thought in mind. She had to help her mother as soon as possible. Those people were bullying Ella’s mother. The thought made Ella feel extremely sad.

“What’s the name of the current leader of Dark Portal?” Ella asked.

Things have been so chaotic lately that Ella couldn’t quite remember how much Lorenzo had told her about the current leader. All she could recall was that the current leader wasn’t on good terms with her mother.

At the mention of the current leader of Dark Portal, a knowing look crossed Lorenzo’s face. “Oh, the current leader? Now that’s an interesting story.”

“What do you mean?” Ella asked.

“The identity of the current leader has been a mystery for years, but I’ve gotten some leads that point to Dan,” Lorenzo said. Dark Portal was gaining more power, so they had to be cautious.

“But it also doesn’t quite add up,” Lorenzo added. “The previous leaders never concealed their identities like this. What’s the reason for all this secrecy? What’s he hiding?”

“Are you saying the current leader might just be a puppet?” Ella asked.

“That’s unlikely. Desmond isn’t capable of controlling a puppet like that,” Lorenzo replied. Since this person came to power, his abilities have been evident in the outside world.

Ella’s face darkened. “He’s not my father!” she retorted.

Lorenzo saw her expression suddenly change. He laughed softly and reached out to feel her forehead. “You’re still a little warm. Let’s go back.”

It was chilly outside today, and it wasn’t good for her to be in the cold for too long. Ella nodded obediently and followed Lorenzo back. However, after only a couple of steps, she cried out, “Ouch!”

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong?”

Ella said, “My leg hurts even more.” Her thighs were already sore, and after practicing here for several hours, the pain became almost unbearable.

“You’re troublesome,” Lorenzo said, but the next moment, he swept Ella up in his arms. Ella was thin, unlike the tall Stefi. In Lorenzo’s arms, she looked like a little girl.

Lorenzo bounced her lightly. “Have I starved you lately?”

“What?” Ella asked, surprised.

“You weigh next to nothing,” Lorenzo said.

Ella was speechless and mumbled, “I haven’t been eating much.”

Chapter 692

Since Ella arrived at Lorenzo’s, many strange things have happened. At first, her meals were irregular, and with Chloe preparing regular food, it wasn’t easy to fatten Ella up.

Lorenzo lowered his head, glanced at her, and chuckled. “You seem dissatisfied.”

Ella muttered, “I’m just telling the truth. Didn’t we have irregular meals before?” Speaking of which, this was the first time in years that she had been treated so poorly.

Lorenzo smiled, seeming to enjoy her complaints. They entered the villa, and he took her straight to the bedroom. “Didn’t you apply the medicine at noon?”

The doctor had said that the reason Ella had a high fever was because of her injuries. She was so delicate that such a small matter could lead to a high fever.

Ella’s face flushed red after she heard Lorenzo mention the medicine.

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. “Why are you blushing?”

Ella was speechless and thought, Why shouldn’t I blush? Lorenzo is crazy. Does he think sleeping together is normal? Does he think it’s our deal? Ella’s eyes and nose turned red with grievance.

Lorenzo asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ella turned over and lay down, hugging the blanket. “Nothing,” she mumbled. She just felt a little wronged.

Lorenzo said, “I know Long Harbor women have all sorts of fantasies about it. You want to save the first time for your wedding night, but that was ages ago. You’re still not that conservative, are you?”

Ella thought, Is this something you should be saying so casually? Well, it doesn’t matter. It isn’t the time to think about this.

Lorenzo opened the medicine and put on gloves as Ella remained silent. “Take off your pants.”

Ella said, “I can do it myself.” The thought of someone else taking off her pants was terrible. “Or maybe Chloe can help me?”

“Are you sure about that?” Lorenzo asked.

Ella thought, No, I’m not sure at all. If Chloe helped her, it would be even more embarrassing. “I’ll do it myself,” Ella said. Lorenzo looked at her intensely, and Ella felt a shiver running down her spine. “It’s not…”

Ella thought, What’s with that look? Is it that weird that I want to do it myself?

Lorenzo asked, “Are you shy?”

Ella replied, “Is that wrong?” She thought, What kind of tone is that? Why is he acting so calm? If it weren’t for what he did to me that night, I would have suspected he had a problem. But what kind of problem is that? He talked so indifferently and desirelessly.

“Seen it all,” Lorenzo replied.

Ella was speechless. It was as if Lorenzo was saying something normal. He sounded so calm and indifferent as if this was a very ordinary thing for Lorenzo.

Ella refused, but Lorenzo lost his patience. He pulled her pants off. The moment he made his move, Ella had almost no chance to resist.

At that moment, Ella felt numb all over. She buried her face in the quilt, resigned to her fate. “The deal we talked about before was just once, right?” She felt like crying as she spoke.

Chapter 692

“I don’t remember it,” Lorenzo said.

Ella was speechless. The condition was that he would help her see her mother, but her mother didn’t see her. Thinking about it made Ella feel like she was losing out. After Ella learned her true identity, she finally stood up for herself.

Stephanie was happy for Ella. That evening, Sebastian told Stephanie that Ella had been practicing shooting all afternoon.

Stephanie was shocked. “Shooting practice? How dare she?”

“It was Lorenzo,” Sebastian replied.

Stephanie was shocked enough this morning when she talked to Sebastian on the phone, who was in a bad mood because of the twins. Hearing that Ella had even started practicing shooting, her tone suddenly changed to relief. “Ella is much stronger than I thought.”

Sebastian nodded.

Stephanie asked, “How could Lorenzo bear to let her train like that?”

Although Lorenzo seemed cold as ice on the surface, he was very gentle with girls in some aspects. Back then, Stephanie was kidnapped. Sofia wanted him to be in charge of her training, but not long after, Lorenzo stopped her training because her hand hurt, saying that Sebastian would protect her anyway.

“How about letting Sofia’s people train her?” Stephanie thought for a moment and said. Sofia’s people should do it.

Back then, when Sofia was away for a few days, Stephanie was trained so hard that she couldn’t stand it and asked Sebastian for help, but it was useless. It was under such a strong force that she finally had all kinds of coping skills in the three years she was away.

Sebastian replied, “Up to you.”

Speaking of this, Sebastian paused and said, “It’s good to let Sofia train her. Her next opponent is Dan.” “Ah.” Stephanie was shocked.
