Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 97

Ella put the goblet aside and used knife and fork adeptly to eat a little piece of steak.

The steak was delicious with a strong taste of pepper.

"This is the first time we are having a dinner like this since we dated. I hope this is also the last time." It did sound sarcastic. Even though they had been married for a long time, this should be the first time they had an enjoyable dinner like this.

Shocked by Ella's indifference, Samuel stopped eating and stared at her.

Samuel was confused by her attitude. From an obedient little girl to a vivacious girl and now to an elegant woman.

So, which one is the real Ella?

"Yeah, it's the first time..." "That's true." "But it will not be the last time." He had said he was the commander of the "Love Game". He was the only one to start or stop it.

Ella didn't speak anymore but downed another round of wine.

In fact, it was not bad to have dinner with Samuel. At least she could drink as much as she wanted. It's unnecessary to worry about the consequences after getting drunk.

However, if he stuck to it, she would keep playing with him. "All right, then please excuse me if I fight against the enemies in the 'Game'."

Her intent was clear and Samuel also understood the meaning. Eating up the pizza, he said "Doesn't annoy me, Ella."

"Well, you are not angry even if I refuse to go back with you. But you get vexed as soon as I hurt your sweetheart. Are you showing off?" Although she was deliberately looking for trouble, she still felt upset when Samuel tried to protect Emma.

Ella was too depressed to enjoy the delicacies.

"Whatever you say." Now that it is clear that she didn't understand him, it made no sense to explain too much.

As long as she went back with him, he would manage other matters.

After a brief pause, Ella said "Yes, my opinion means nothing. Yours is of importance."

Faced with all her challenges, Samuel was thinking about taking her home and giving some punishment after the dinner.

Unfortunately, although a little drunk, Ella was still maintaining a level head.

She settled the bill, while leaving the table on the pretext of using the toilet. The bill amounted to 300 thousand yuan. Ella felt heartbroken and left the restaurant without Samuel.

She got into a taxi and left. Samuel, who was still waiting for her to come back from the toilet, had a glimpse of her getting into the taxi through the window.

He was really furious with her actions.

Samuel ran downstairs rapidly to settle the bill. The cashier told him that the bill was settled already.

Disappointed, he got into his car and followed the gradually vanishing taxi.

Luckily, there were not many cars in that direction. He found the taxi immediately.

Soon, the taxi reached her apartment and she got down. She tottered towards the elevator. Samuel too reached the spot and he rushed towards the apartment, as he heard Ella's scream.

She was already in the elevator going to the ninth floor. He took the other elevator.

Samuel became anxious as he heard another scream from the elevator.

The scene outside the elevator at the ninth floor gave him a complete surprise.

A woman was beating a man with a red coat on the floor.

The man was protecting his head with his hands and repeatedly saying "Sorry".

"You bastard! I gonna beat you to death!" Although drunk, Ella was still strong. Ella really wanted to beat the man to death, after all the things happened on that day.

But someone pulled her away suddenly. "Who is there?" "Just let me go!" She yelled.

"What's the matter?" Samuel controlled Ella in his arms and avoided her fists. Samuel would have suffered her punches had he not dodged them nimbly.

"Just let me go! I gonna beat that ruffian to death!" Damn it! The asshole tried to molest her thinking she was drunk.

Ruffian? Samuel understood the situation clearly. He looked at the trembling man.

He comforted Ella and gave her his coat.

Ella looked at him quietly. Samuel seized the man's collar and raised him.

He let loose a heavy slap on the man's cheek. "Oh!" A painful voice resounded through the corridor.

There were two households in the ninth floor. It seemed no one was living in the opposite house.

As a result, no one knew what was going on in the ninth floor.

Ella became sober, as she watched Samuel beating up the man. The man was bleeding already.

Samuel used his whole strength to beat up the ruffian. And Ella felt warm as she watched him doing it.

It was nice to have someone to protect her.

Suddenly Samuel turned over and asked. "Which hand did he use to touch you?"

"Ah?" "Oh!" "It's his right hand." She was not sure, but it should be the right hand, she thought.

"You liar! It's my left hand!" The ruffian was clearly an idiot! He shouldn't have argued this way!

......

Ella was surprised by the ruffian's low intelligence and clumsy action. His actions are suicidal.

Then came a sound of fracture. The ruffian's wrist was broken after a crisp sound.

His face became pale. He was sweating buckets. He was too anguished to say anything.

Samuel threw him to the ground, took out his phone and called 110.

After telling police the address, he took his coat and pointed to the door behind Ella. "Get inside first."

Ella nodded, took out the keys, opened the door and got inside.

With the door half opened, Ella looked out through the crack of the door.

She saw Samuel kicking the man again and warning him. "You will regret through your whole life for molesting my girl!"

"I'm sorry..." "My distinguished gentleman, please forgive me." The man struggled on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Now you know your mistake?" "It's too late!" "You'll be prosecuted." "And it will be impossible for you to get out of the prison in less than ten years."

On hearing that, the man realized that Samuel was not an ordinary person.

He tried to stand up and used all his strength to kneel down before Samuel. "Please forgive me..." Samuel then took a step back. The man begged for mercy again and again.

Samuel put his coat on and kicked him angrily. "Stand up if you are a true man."

The man didn't dare to stand up and keep on begging. Two policemen arrived on the scene.
