Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 43

Samuel answered her without hesitation, "Then she will not have my trust her whole life, and I will not have further contact with her in the future." As long as he figured out who lied to him, he wouldn't contact with him or her anymore.

Ella shuddered with chills at Samuel's suddenly serious tone. What should she do? What could she do? Should she tell him what happened that night?

No she should not, or else Samuel would think less of her.

Ella breathed in deeply. Armored with all her former acting talents, she raised her head again, giggled and asked, "What if I lied to you?"

She almost suffocated in anxiety but still forced a naughty smile.

Samuel listened to her. What if she lied to him? He thought for a while. "It depends. If it's not serious, then..." He whispered a few words to her ear. Ella laughed with shyness. Samuel was flirting her again!

"What if it was serious?" She asked. Climbing into his bed, bearing his baby and marrying him... It was actually serious...

Samuel looked her into the eye since she stuck to the topic. "Have you hid anything from me?" Did she do something to Emma?

"Of course not!"

Ella stood up straight, pretending a righteous look on her face.

Samuel could not help but laugh at her response, "If it was serious… just think about what will happen meeting a top lawyer in court." He spoke casually, for he had never thought of what he would do if she cheated on him.

It reminded Ella of the phrase online, "If you are in love with a lawyer, be prepared to lose everything including your underpants when you divorce."

...

She started to panic, holding Samuel's waist tightly. Should she confess?

Maybe it was a good idea to tell him everything. After all, leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist? "Sam, I…"

When she just began, Samuel's phone buzzed. Ella had to stop and wait.

"Hello, Mr Wang." Samuel answered the phone, walked to his office room and started to work.

Ella sat onto the sofa in frustration, with no idea what to do.

Night fell. Samuel was still busy with work, so Ella's confession was nipped in the bud.

In the night, Samuel took Ella to the hospital.

Emma was getting better. The rash on her face was half dissipated. She was sitting on the hospital bed, reading some document.

When she saw Samuel come in, she was delighted, but when she saw Ella with him, the delight faded away. Ella put a fruit basket on her bedside table.

"Emma, you might have misunderstood Ella." Samuel's protective attitude made the two girls filled with different feelings.

"Misunderstood?" Emma sneered, "So, Miss Bo, you went out for a while, and the dish was served. Why don't you explain that?" She fixed her eyes on Ella.

Samuel didn't want his wife to get blamed for something she didn't do. So he brought Ella here with him to explain what happened.

When Emma asked, he also looked at Ella, waiting for her to explain.

"What's there to explain? I just went to the ladies room." Did she look like such a pushover?

Emma was determined to frame her?
