Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 57

In the video, she saw a woman peeking around and then entering a room. She definitely knew her. That woman was Ella Bo.

She had stubled over the truth, and now Emma smiled with satisfaction. "I'll call you as soon as I get hold of the money."

Emma stood up from her seat, grabbed her handbag and left the coffee shop she was in. She looked at the clear sky and felt she was in an excellent mood.

"Ella Bo, you bitch! I'll soon rub that smug smile off your face!" thought Emma. And Samuel would be hers again!

When Emma called Samuel, he was busy in his office room.

"I have something to tell you. I'll see you at our old meeting place." Their old meeting place was a park, where Samuel used to take her for out for walks.

Samuel rubbed the spot between his eyebrows, "No, you can just talk to me on the phone. We can't meet." He had promised Ella to stop seeing her.

He didn't even want to see her. Emma bitterly smiled over the phone: "It's about Ella, and it's really dead-serious. Think about it. I'll wait for you for an hour." And then she hung up on him.

Was it really about Ella? Ten minutes later, Samuel took his car keys, left the office and drove out to the place Emma had told him she'd be waiting for him.

Along the way, he vaguely had a strange feeling of foreboding. What exactly would Emma tell him of his wife, Ella? If she would start denigrating her based on little or no evidence, he would be very mad.

Outside, the weather was a little bit hot, and when Samuel got out of the car, he loosened the tie Ella had tied for him when he had left home that day.

He couldn't help but smile when he thought of that little woman of so many hidden facets.

But the woman who was now standing nearby by the river pulled him back to reality.

Emma stood waiting by the river in a khaki windbreaker, her long hair blown up by the night wind and graciously floating in the air.

This was a scene that Samuel had seen so many times in the past, and it happened that every time it attracted him more and more. But now he wouldn't let himself feel this feeling.

Looking at the man who was walking closer and closer to her, Emma suppressed her excited mood and looked at him with tender eyes.

She thought that there was a chance that he would return to her, but his face showed an expression of impatience on it.

Emma ignored this fact. "Sam, I miss you so much" she thought. It had been a just couple of days since her return from the United States. They had not met once since, and every time she sent him a private message on Weibo, he wouldn't reply.

Samuel felt only impatience in his heart when he saw the affectionate woman. "What's the matter? Tell me, quickly."

She gave him a bitter smile: "Are you going to believe me if I tell you what I know?" She didn't give out the evidence she knew of in haste. She was smart.

"It depends." replied Samuel. His answer was ambiguous.

"Ella Bo is a scheming and deliberate bitch. Last year, she entered your hotel room intentionally, and I have proof." She indeed told him the truth.

Samuel's face almost fell to the ground as he heard these words. Emma was not sure whether he was angry at Ella or at her for breaking this bad news.

"Miss Gu, I advise you to watch your language." How could she call his wife a deliberate and scheming bitch! Samuel was vexed at what he had just heard.

Looking at his reaction, Emma knew that Ella had a certain place in Samuel's heart, and that he wasn't quite ready to give up on her.

She then took out her phone.

Samuel was impatient at the start, then he fell into silence, and then his face grew more and more austere and grave.

How could he not know the woman in the video he was watching on Emma's phone? It was the same woman he held tight in his arms day and night!

And how could he not know that room? It was the same room that he had stayed in on the night of Harry's wedding!

He fast forwarded the video after he saw that Ella had entered his room.

Two hours later, Ella came out of his room, with her hair and clothes a mess. It was obvious, and anyone could see and determine what she had been through.

Betrayal, lies, and deceit. Anger gushed with speed into his body and soul.

He clenched Emma's phone, and Ella's abnormal behaviors from lately came back to him.

She had asked him what he would do if it was her who lied to him.

And the night she spent in the old house! She definitely had also talked to Melody about this!
