Lorenzo looked at her suspiciously. He has investigated her family. Her father has a mistress who has been staying with her family from time to time since her mother's death. She has had no one to care for since she was little and has a rather withdrawn personality.
"Then what are you doing here in the parking lot? Are you asking me to take you in?"
Victoria shook her head, looking aggrieved. "Can you send me back? My driver asked for a leave today because of something."
She especially let the driver go back just to be able to spend more time with him.
"I'm not a taxi. It's easy to get one at the school gate," Lorenzo said.
Lorenzo felt that his heart was always softer when facing Victoria, but he thought this violated his usual principles, so he intentionally kept a distance from her.
Seeing his aloof look, Victoria was full of fighting spirit. She had to get a ride today. "What if such a young girl like me meets bad guys?"
Lorenzo was rejecting her when a black Mercedes-Benz drove up behind them and stopped beside them. The rear car window gradually rolled down, and it was Antonio.
Victoria pursed her lips, showing her speechless. How come she could often see him when she didn't want to see him now?
Antonio got out of the car, greeted Lorenzo first, "Hello, Professor Conti."
Then he said to Victoria, "Don't you have a car to go back? I'll send you back."
The girl turned a deaf ear and only wanted to talk to Lorenzo, "Can Professor Conti send me?"
Antonio was ignored and rejected by her several times in a row, and he was really frustrated. Moreover, she was acting coquettishly in front of another man. He didn't know why, but there was an unreasonable fire surging up in his heart.
"Victoria, do you know what self-love is? Could it be that you will only pester men!"
It's so funny! Victoria gave him a disdainful look and shouted angrily, "Antonio, before, I was always chasing after you and you disliked me. Now I don't chase you anymore and don't want you. But you come after me. The one who doesn't know self-love is you!"
Victoria felt that scolding him was so satisfying. She wished she could scold him with all her heart now.
Lorenzo had heard about their affair. The girl had pursued him for more than ten years, but the boy had never accepted her and even disliked her for a while.
The man looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes full of exploration. Was her motive for doing this now also to make the other person jealous? Lorenzo couldn't help but doubt in his heart.
"Make way. I have to go." Lorenzo felt an indescribable feeling in his heart as soon as he thought of the girl's motive, so he raised his voice to interrupt the quarrel between the two.
Antonio watched the girl get into the passenger seat and the man didn't drive her away. He suddenly became anxious and also went around to the passenger seat, opened the door and pulled her wrist. "Victoria, get out of the car. I'll take you."
Victoria resisted and wanted to break free from his hand, but after all, the strength difference between men and women was too great. She couldn't break free. At this time, a pair of slender and powerful hands crossed in front of her, grabbed Antonio's hand, with a warning meaning. "Antonio, let go of your hand."
Antonio was stunned, but he didn't let go, as if claiming sovereignty. "Professor Conti, don't forget that you're just a substitute teacher. My family are the second director of Valentini Academy!"
The implication was even more with a hint of warning, but Lorenzo didn't take what he said into account at all. Just seeing that the girl's wrist skin turned red, his eyes became cold, and he bent Antonio's hand with force.
Antonio winced in pain and had no choice but to let go. Pushed backward by Lorenzo, he fell to the ground all at once.
Victoria looked at Lorenzo's seamless actions and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in surprise. "Lorenzo, you're so amazing!"
Lorenzo leaned forward, pulled the car door shut, then sat back in the driver's seat, fastened the seat belt, stepped on the accelerator, and disappeared from the underground garage in the blink of an eye.
Antonio's driver saw him sitting on the ground and then realized that he was injured. He hurriedly got out of the car and helped him up. "Antonio, are you okay? I'll call the madam right now and make that professor get out of school."
While speaking, he was about to take out his phone. Antonio shook his head. "I want you to keep today's incident to yourself. Don't tell anyone!"
The driver looked troubled. "But Antonio, your hand..."
"I will take revenge for today's grudge sooner or later!" Staring viciously in the direction the man left, he swore that he would definitely get back the humiliation he suffered today from the man.
On the other hand, the car was driving on the road. Victoria secretly glanced at Lorenzo and wanted to talk to him but suddenly found that she didn't know what to say.
"Just ask if you have any questions." Lorenzo glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. Seeing her hesitant appearance was extremely cute.
Victoria bit her lower lip and explained, "The Russo family is the second-largest director of the school. I'm afraid he will make things difficult for you."
The man coldly snorted. "I'm just substituting for someone else and will leave in a few days. Besides, isn't your family the first director of Valentini Academy?"
The girl smiled and said, "Lorenzo, I find that you are actually quite humorous."
The man gave her a sideways glance, not knowing what he was thinking. Soon he turned his head back. "You still haven't said, why exactly did you get in my car?"
"I said it." The girl looked at him seriously.
"I just want you to take me back. I feel particularly at ease when I'm with you."
"Do you think approaching me for such a reason could make Antonio jealous? And will I tolerate everything you do?"
The man's tone instantly turned cold.
Victoria was a little downcast. She couldn't tell him about her past life. But in the past, he lost his life to save her. Could she just pretend that nothing happened?
"Lorenzo, with Antonio, it was my ignorance before. Now I already know what kind of person he is. I won't like him anymore! But it's different for you. As long as I have it, and you need it, I'm willing to give it to you. I will definitely strive for a good future for you," she said solemnly.
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Victoria said even more anxiously,
"My grandpa is Alessandro. Valentini Conglomerate is powerful. No one here dares not give face to Valentini Conglomerate. My grandpa once promised me that I could make a wish to him. No matter what kind of wish, he would fulfill it for me. And I'm giving this wish to you. What do you want?"
The girl's firm words unexpectedly annoyed Lorenzo. He drove the car to the seaside. Today, he really wanted to test this girl. He wanted to know how true the care and affection in her eyes were.
When the car stopped, Victoria realized that this was a busy area. Looking at the man with a puzzled face, then someone came to knock on the car window.
The man pressed the button and the car window slowly rolled down. Before the man could speak, a head with slightly curly gray-brown hair squeezed in.
"Lorenzo, you finally came. I've been waiting for you. You made me feed mosquitoes by the roadside."
Victoria leaned forward a little and then saw a face so beautiful that it was hard to determine his gender. If it weren't for the non-stop deep and powerful voice and the obvious Adam's apple, she would really have thought this was a woman.
The beautiful man obviously noticed that there was another person in the car. When he took a closer look, he couldn't help exclaiming, "Wow! This little beauty is so beautiful. Where did you kidnap her, Lorenzo? No! Lorenzo, don't you dislike women?"
Before he could finish his words, he was forcefully pushed out of the car by Lorenzo with a slap.
"Disappear from my sight within three seconds."
As soon as the man heard this, he quickly ran away. Victoria stretched her neck to look behind her. That man ran really fast, without any image at all, completely not matching that beautiful face.
"Lorenzo, is that your friend?"
"He's my brother Alberto." He simply introduced him.
"You said you would do anything for me?"
The girl didn't know why the man suddenly asked this, but still nodded firmly.
The man unbuckled his seat belt and leaned closer to her. "Accomplish a task for me."
Task!!
Victoria widened her eyes. So, was he still the same as in the previous life!?
"Are you from some organization?" Victoria subconsciously asked this sentence. In the previous life, he told her he was a fighter. In this life, he had to carry out a task. She couldn't help thinking of some organizations that killed people.
Lorenzo looked at her wide-open eyes and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted. "Why? Are you scared now?"
Seeing him smile, Victoria shouted and went crazy in her heart. This man was simply perfect. When he didn't smile, he was like an iceberg. When he smiled, he was like a warm sun.
Victoria tried to force herself to calm down, sat up straight, and seriously started the discussion with him. "I said that I will unconditionally support anything you want and are willing to do."
"What if I want your life?" Lorenzo said faintly.
Victoria shrank her neck. Wasn't she so pitiful? Although repaying kindness required sacrificing herself, she had just been reborn not long ago and hadn't taken revenge yet.
She asked the man timidly, "Except for my life. I'm afraid of pain and death. As long as you don't want my life, I'm willing to do it."
Lorenzo was amused by her words and smiled. "Relax. I don't want your life."
Victoria let out a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and nodded repeatedly. "That's good. That's good."
"Tonight I have a task. I will use you as bait to catch a traitor. That traitor is lecherous. Someone like you is just right."
Someone like me is just right?
Victoria was a little puzzled by Lorenzo's words "just right". Could it be that he thought her looks were too mediocre?
Victoria pursed her lips and muttered softly, "At least I'm young and pretty, a little beauty. But he said I was just right. I'm furious."
Lorenzo moved closer to her again. "What are you mumbling about?"
Victoria gave an awkward smile. "Lorenzo, is my appearance really just right?"
Seeing that she cared so much about her appearance, Lorenzo had the idea of teasing her in his heart and looked at the front of her. "Too young. Maybe it will be better after some nurturing."
Following Lorenzo's gaze, the girl looked down at her chest, quickly covered it with her hands, and couldn't help but blush.
"What are you looking at? "
