You are responsible

"Joe," Evelynn wanted to say something to him when he said he trusts Ella. But Joe cut her off. He knew that she was worried that Luciana might not be in one piece. But now they have to trust them. Even he expected Oscar would say Luciana was safe on the phone, but they could understand if he didn't stay. The fact that he mentioned Luciana with him means, she was safe for now.

"Eve, I know," he said. His eyes asked her and assure her to trust him and believe Ella.

Evelynn nodded her head at him. Joe might seem to be rash and another way, but when something serious came up he would be the smartest person who would get them out of the situation. She trusted him like any other time. He was the most mature person.

Joe raised his head and looked at Ella and took a deep breath before opening his mouth.

"Our friend faced big grievances. She almost got raped and then kidnapped. God knows what she is facing there. We will expect an explanation from you and your son for the things she faced and compensation too. Compensation the way she wanted. After all, your groups are responsible for whatever has happened to her," Joe said.

Evelynn nodded her head as if she was agreeing with his words.

"Is she your sister?" Ella asked with a raised brow. These people were nothing in front of their power, but when their personal or loved ones were involved they were trying to act like tigers. Before nothing happened, they did nothing. When they were given contracts their lives started to sort out, they did nothing to show off. They were still respectful. Now, seeing them going all their way out and being courageous to get justice for their friend in Luciana's way… was amusing, and felt pretty… proud of her.

She doesn't know why she was proud but she was. This kind of man shouldn't be outside running a bar and passing time. They should be with her, working for her, or working along with her. A bit of grooming would do everything to him. He would be a great advisor to her and to their group.

"Yes, not by blood but by fate," Joe replied. Evelynn nodded along with as if saying it was the same for her.

Ella nodded at him. This kind of good brotherhood and camaraderie was something rare to be found. And it was so genuine. The more she saw Joe, the more she felt he was a worthy talent to be groomed.

"She will get everything she desired and deserved," Ella gave her word.

"What if she wants to punish your son, by law and stuff? Would you accept it, Lady Bernadetta?" Joe asked looking at her.

"If that's her wish, she will get it done," Ella replied. He nodded at her. He didn't doubt her words. There were a few seconds of silence between them.

"Please be with Charlie when we are gone," Ella said.

"We want to come too," Evelynn said. Joe remained silent showing his desire to tag along.

"We don't want a burden when we are dealing with this stuff. We can't guarantee your safety too. If you are hurt, Luciana would not be in right shape if she sees you both hurt," Ella said.

"And adding to the fact, the place is dangerous. We only want to save two lives we don't want to make it four," Ella added.

"I can fight," Evelynn said. She said almost immediately as if she wanted to say she would not be a burden.

"Can you fight snipers, shooters, bombs, and rogue killers?" Ella questioned her with her raised brows.

This was the reason why Joe was silent.

"We will be with Charlie," Joe assured Ella when Evelynn turned silent.

Ella nodded and looked at her men.

"Everyone, get ready. We will dispatch now," Ella said.

Ella changed her clothes from her last night's evening gown to pants and a shirt which were comfortable for her. Ella was kind of excited for the first time after years. Because it's been a while since she entered the field. She stopped it after her son took the things into his hands. After that, she went to Carl and Callum to discuss things.

She was already discussing the routes and how they would enter their base and how they shall do. She has few suspicions about how they would deal with things. Well, she meant Eric was too silent without killing him or shipping him away. There must be something happening.
