Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 192

Ella smirked and looked at Catherine's pale face, and coquettishly said,"It isn't clear since you never told me." Samuel behaved just as Ella anticipated, which proved her point to the people listening.

Samuel put down the files in his hands and leaned back against his chair. He sounded serious as he said,"Ella, I love you."

His voice sound soulful and attractive, which could be overwhelming for most women.

Some girls squealed and giggled amongst themselves,"Samuel sounds so infatuated and in love."

"I am totally enchanted by his voice."

...... Ella had never thought that Samuel would be so straightforward. She unconsciously blushed,"Okay, Bye!"

Samuel had already heard the squeal, but when he wanted to ask her what was going on, she cut hang up the phone.

Ella tried to calm herself as her heart was racing, and handed the phone to the person behind her. Then she poured the cold tea on Catherine's face.

"Ms. Gu, I hope the tea can wake you up to see the world clearly, lest you get paranoid and covet the husband of someone else." The tea leaves stuck to her hair and her face.

In shock, she watched as the liquid stained her expensive fur coat. Hearing the crowd laughing at her, her heart sank.

She wiped her face in a panic, suppressing an impulse to cry, and raised her hand to slap Ella.

Two women behind Ella came forward and stopped Catherine.

Polly came back to her senses, thinking that although she is a vain woman who is determined to be rich some day, She would never be a man's mistress and make herself ignoble. So she joined in the onslaught and slapped her daughter.

"Mum....." Catherine was shocked to see Polly in such bad temper. As her mom, she didn't help her, but chose to help others. Catherine was overwhelmed.

The slap made others despise her even more. Slapping her daughter, Polly was admitting that her daughter was a mistress, something she clearly didn't approve of.

Soon Catherine became known as the mistress who got involved in other people's marriage. Her reputation was ruined in C Country.

Her boss sent her an email informing her that she did not need to come to the office the following day after hearing what she had done from his wife.

After the farce ended, Emma, who hid in the crowd, looked at Ella bitterly. 'Well, here you are again, Ella. You ruined my reputation first, and now you are ruining my cousin's as well. You will pay for this. Samuel, you bastard, all of you will go to hell.'

That night, Ella went to the apartment that had been arranged for her by the company. Samuel didn't go to see her.

Ella felt bored before falling asleep. Then, Lola sent her a video recording of footage of what happened at the party.

She thought about it the whole night. At noon the following day, she sent the video to Samuel.

After watching the video, Samuel realised what was going when Ella called him.

The fact was that she was playing tricks on Catherine, and had used him to get her point across, that Catherine was his mistress and a home wrecker.

'What a naughty woman, ' Samuel thought.

He received another message from Ella. "Samuel, I hurt your woman, you can do whatever you want to do to retaliate against me."

But how? Did he dare to say anything? Or do anything?

He feared making her angry again. If she returned to the U.S, what he had done would all be in vain.

He just typed a few words and clicked reply.

Ella was driving, and when she saw his massage, she could not help but laugh.

'As long as you are happy, ' the message read.

In an elated mood, Ella drove towards the old house, having no idea that a car was closely following her.

When she arrived at the old house, Viola was at home, thinking about Catherine and Emma. When she saw Ella, she didn't say anything and went upstairs.

Ella was surprised that Viola had not kicked her out this time.

Seeing her, Melody emerged from the living room,"Ella, I have seen the video."

'Why had grandma seen it?' Ella thought to herself. Lola told her that she had banned the video and no one could watch it.

Seeing her confusion, Melody explained,"Daisy sent me the video. Good for you! The whole world will know that Catherine is a shameless mistress."

She unintentionally glanced at the stairwell of the second floor, remembering what Samuel had said in the bedroom a few years ago,"if there is one mistress among us, that is you."

Thinking about this made her mood switch from happy to sullen.

"Hmm, Melody, did Jerry go to the kindergarten yet?" Jane was still staying with Eason. She would start to film the following day and had come to see grandma before she became busy.

"Yes, do not worry about Jerry. He is fine here. The thing between you and Samuel should be resolved as soon as possible. Do not drag this issue along!" Melody held Ella's hands, her eyes permeated with worry.

Thinking of the days they were together, Ella smiled coyly,"Melody, of late, we have been getting on well. If possible, we will remarry."

Melody nodded like a rattle-drum. Her life would be complete as long as they made peace and got her great-granddaughter back.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Ella retreated from Melody's hand and went to open the door.

It was Emma looking disoriented. Ella's smile froze and she unhappily asked,"What are you doing here?" 'Isn't she crazy? How could she be released?' Ella thought.

Emma shoved Ella and walked to the living room.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Ella staggered and held the shoe rack to avoid tumbling.

As Emma grew closer to Melody, Ella followed her in a hurry.

"Emma? What are you doing here?" Melody stared at the pale looking woman, realising that she was not in her right mind as she just looked at her sullenly without saying a word.

Now Emma was recalling all the things that happened in recent past. At first, Melody strongly opposed her relationship with Samuel.

Then Ella took away Samuel's heart.

She had no money and Samuel paid no attention to her. She had to vacillate between Felix Fei and Drake.

......

She would not have been reduced to such a state if it were not for Melody.

'All thanks to you, Melody', Emma thought. Deep hate flashed across her eyes.

She stumbled across a fruit knife on the table and picked it up without hesitation. Doing this made Melody and Ella panic.

"Emma, are you out of your mind?" "What do you want?" Ella rushed towards Melody.

Melody stumbled as she tried to avoid Emma.
