Leonard adjusted his tie. "Don't worry about it. Dominic and | have been through life-and-death situations
together, so this is nothing. No need to feel awkward. | actually live here most of the time... so you won't be

house staff.
After Leonard left, the older woman led Bella to her temporary room. It had its own en-suite bathroom and was
spacious enough to give her sprivacy in this unfamiliar house.
Leonard had thought of everything.
As dusk approached, Bella received a call from Lia. "Bella, something weird is happening. Since this morning,
sstrange men have been lurking around my studio. They keep looking over, and they haven't left all day.

her? Were they using Lia as bait to draw her out? The thought of her friend getting dragged
into
this mess made her feel bad. She would never forgive herself if anything happened to Lia.
Bella quickly said, "Lia, don't leave the studio. Stay with your staff and don't go anywhere alone. | can't explain
everything right now, but I'll call you back after | make a call. Just wait for my message."
She hung up and immediately called Leonard, seeking his help. To her surprise, Leonard. revealed that those
men were his doing. He had those men protect Lia from the Yates family
Leonard's attention to detail was impeccable. Bella only had Lia as a close friend, so it was likely the Yates family
had done their homework.
However, Bella had other concerns.
After a moment of hesitation, she told Leonard about Diane's visit to Lia's studio. "Do you... really have feelings
for Lia? I'm worried that if your family finds out you've arranged protection for her, they'll pressure you.
"That wouldn't be good for her. Both the Yates and Sawyer families are dangerous for someone like Lia."
On the other end of the line, Leonard went silent. After a few seconds, he let out an exaggerated laugh. "What
are you talking about? I'm only doing this because of you. You're not just Dominic's sister, you also saved my
father. Anyway, if that's all, I'll hang up.' Bella wasn't sure what consequences her call would trigger. She had
only told Leonard about Diane's visit for the sake of Lia's safety.
Afterward, Bella called Lia back and explained everything, urging her to stay vigilant but not

Although Lia was shocked, she wasn't naive. She promised to follow Bella's advice and even arranged for her
family to go on a trip, just in case. It was the best precaution they could take. The city they had both grown up in
had suddenly turned into a battlefield.
Meanwhile, Leonard stormed into Sawyer Manor, where he found Diane. Grabbing her arm, he pulled her into a
secluded corner.
Diane winced and complained, "You're hurting me! What's wrong with you, trying to kill your own mother?"
Leonard's eyes burned with fury as he glared at her. "You went to see Lia? Who gave you the right?"
A flicker of guilt crossed her face. "Y-You found out? | was only trying to look out for you and that woman. I'm
your mother. Would | ever hurt you?"
Still seething, Leonard wasn't having it. "Don't pretend this is for my sake. If you really cared about me, you
wouldn't have draggedinto the Sawyer family or forcedto live by their rules!
"My family nmay be Sawyer, but I'm not related to them by blood. I didn't have a choice/ when | was
brought into this family, but how I live my life now, that's up to me. Stay out of my business. Consider this a
warning."
