Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

No Ads Chapter 213 Chapter 213 Lorenzo hung up the phone, bent over, and offered his hand to Ella.

Ella looked at his hand reaching out to her. She gave a nervous chuckle and placed her cold little hand into his large palm.

Lorenzo spread his legs slightly and was about to pull Ella up.

+53) As Ella straightened up, she realized how awkward their position was-she was kneeling between his legs. "I, uh... was being chased by sbad guys,” she stammered, trying to cup with an explanation. It sounded ridiculous even to her, but it was the truth.

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. "Chased by bad guys again?” he asked, his tone skeptical.

Ella instinctively swallowed. Now that Lorenzo mentioned it, she started to wonder if the incident at Long Harbor Airport was really targeting her. She hoped not. If it was, nowhere would be safe.

'What trouble has Mom gotten into this time? As the chairperson of the Turner Group, shouldn't her daughter be safe from such threats?' she wondered.

Ella forced a smile. “I knew you wouldn't believe me, but-" She didn't get a chance to finish. Voices from outside the car interrupted her. One of the men, furious, kicked a luggage cart. "Damn, those two girls ran pretty fast." Ella had been about to get up, but seeing those guys outside the car, she instinctively ducked down. In doing so, her head ended up resting on Lorenzo's stomach, since his legs were on either side of her armpits.

Lorenzo and Ella exchanged a glance of mutual awkwardness.

"Lethide here for a bit, just for a moment," Ella whispered, clinging to Lorenzo's waist. She couldn't bring herself to stand up, feeling too exposed.

This was surreal. Ella had never imagined she'd find herself in such a situation, living in what was supposed to be a peaceful time.

Outside the car, one of the thugs was on the phone. "Sorry, Boss, those two women got away," he said. "What? Surround the airport?" cthe response.

"Got it," the thug replied.

Ella's heart sank. 'Surround the airport? So this person has influence in Fiorenza too. Mom sent Emily andhere and just got us trouble. Does she not even realize who she has offended? This is a disaster.' Ella's back was slick with sweat as she nervously turned her face to look at Lorenzo, half of her face still pressed against his stomach. Why wasn't the car moving yet? "Why isn't the car moving?” she whispered urgently. "You're still in the car," Lorenzo replied calmly.

"What do you mean? No way, I can't get out,” Ella insisted. She had heard the thug's call. They weren't planning to intended to surround the entire airport. If she got out of the car now, she'd be caught for sure.

and "Won't you save me?" Ella clung tighter to Lorenzo's sides, her grip on his waist more desperate than ever. She refused to let go, no matter what.

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow.

Lorenzo chuckled again, a hint of amnement in his voice. "Turner Group? Is that little company your monte Elli's eyes widened in dubelict. Little company? What's this guy's deal? Everyone in Long Harbor talks about how impressive the Turner Group is, and how far my mom has taken it. But in Lorenzo's eyes, it's just a little company? A thug's voice cfrom outside the car "Check all the parked vehicles too. Don't let any slip by Got it, bows another voice replied Hearing that they were going to check parked cars made Ella's breath catch in her throat. If they stayed here, they were in trouble.

She dutched Lorenzo's shirt tighter. "Drive, hurry up and get us out of here, she whispered nervously, cursing about her bad luck in her mind.

Lorenzo's grip on her chin tightened as he straightened up to look outside. “There are a lot of people coming," he said, his tone flat but with an undercurrent of warning Elk's heart raced. Of course the knew there were people coming-she could see them out of the corner of her eye. She just wanted to get out of this mess as quickly as possible. "Enough. Just tell me, what you want?" she pleaded, her voice shaking.

Lorenzo's eyes flickered with amusement. "So straightforward?" he asked, almost teasingly.

Ella's frustration boiled over. Just tellalready? Lorenzo's expression softened just a bit. He gave her chin a gentle squeeze, not quite a pinch, and then turned to t "Drive" he said firrnly.

The car finally started to move, but almost immediately, the driver slammed on the brakes.

fiver.

Lorenzo lurched forward, and Ella, still caught between his legs, couldn't help but let out a small cry as her forehead collided with his belt buckle. The impact was jarring, and she winced, clutching her forehead. “Ouch," she muttered, wincing in pain, 98%0 Chapter 213 Lorenzo's eyes narrowed as he glanced at her, then back at the driver. "What's going on?" he asked, his voice sharp "They want to inspect the car," the driver replied, his voice strained.

Someone arrived at the driver's side, gesturing for the driver to lower the window.

Lorenzo said, "Roll down the window," Ella's heart sank. She knew this was bad. She didn't want to be found here, not now. "No way, the blurted out, her voice firm.

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow at her. "Hmm?" he prompted, clearly waiting for an explanation.

"Drive. Just push through," Ella stuttered, her voice barely steady. The other side had sent so many people to find her, there must be a big complication behind it. If they discovered she was in Lorenzo's car, it would be trouble now and later. Lorenzo asked, "Are you really afraid of those people?" Ella replied, "Someone like you, who's always on the edge, wouldn't be afraid.”

But she was born in a stable environment and never witnessed anything like this her whole life. This time, she was literally walking on the edge of life and death, and it was impressive she hadn't broken down yet.

"Have the driver force through, and I'll agree to whatever conditions you want afterward." Ella figured Ella figured Lorenzo wasn't demanding anything now because he hadn't thought of it yet, so there was no need to worry. They needed to leave here urgently. Lorenzo smirked slightly, as if he had received the answer he wanted. He casually instructed the driver ahead, "Go" "Okay." the driver nodded and hit the gas pedal, speeding away.

The thugs seemed taken aback that they would force their way through. Once they realized it, they fired several shots at their car.

Ella had been about to get up from between Lorenzo's legs when she heard the noise. She instinctively shrank back, her legs pressing tightly together. This time, she got stuck at her crotch.
