Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 102

Ella replied with a smile, "Thank you. You too, Samuel." She couldn't disengage herself from Samuel's grasp. The only thing she could do was cooperate with Samuel and finish the show.

Samuel finally loosened his hold on Ella. Turning to Catherine, he walked away arm in arm with her.

Sum and Ella joined the other guests after greeting CEO Fang.

After a few moments, there was another commotion at the doorway. Joseph and Lillian had arrived.

As soon as he greeted CEO Fang, Joseph was surrounded by a lot of female guests.

Lilian was already used to this kind of situation. Evading the excited ladies, she walked towards Ella.

Seeing Lilian, Ella beamed. She loosened her arm from Sum's and gave her friend a big hug.

Lilian glanced at Sum and asked, "Ella, why aren't you with your husband? Where's Samuel?"

Ella tilted her chin towards Samuel. Looking into the direction Ella pointed, Lilian saw him chatting with some women.

"Lilian, this is my boss, Sum. He was also my classmate. Sum, this is Lilian Ye. She's Joseph's wife. You might know her."

Ella introduced the two.

Sum and Lilian politely shook hands with each other.

"Good evening, Mr. Su."

Ella took a glass of wine from the table behind them for Lilian. They chatted as they enjoyed the wine.

Yvonne Ni was the last one to show up. After greeting some acquaintances, she approached Ella and hugged her tightly.

The guests were confused at the scene. They wondered how Ella knew the superstar Yvonne, who was often abroad.

Sum had already walked away to join other businessmen. Ella introduced Yvonne to Lilian.

Ella, Lilian, and Yvonne sat beside a dessert table, chatting and laughing.

In the middle of the party, Ella went to the ladies' room.

On the way back to the hall, she saw Emma also on her way towards the ladies' room.

Ella ducked her head to straighten her clothes and pretended not to see Emma.

But when they were close to each other, Emma suddenly twisted her ankle and fell onto Ella's chest.

It all happened quickly. Ella subconsciously held Emma.

Emma's sharp metal ring tore Ella's evening dress. Seeing this, Emma smirked.

Feeling the dress slipping, Ella immediately loosened her hold on Emma to hold her dress in place.

Shit!

Ella raised her head and saw two women looking at her curiously. She was mortified.

Seeing a familiar figure approaching, Ella blushed.

"Ella, are you okay?" Sum strode to Ella in concern.

Standing up, Emma straightened her own dress and said casually, "I'm so sorry Miss Bo. I will compensate you for a new dress." She walked away without another glance.

Noticing the way Ella was holding her dress, Sum immediately understood what happened. He took off his coat and wrapped it on her.

"Let's get a suite upstairs. I'll ask my assistant to deliver a new dress for you."

Ella nodded. Sum called the reception desk and booked a suite.

A waiter soon rushed to them with a room card.

Sum escorted Ella into the elevator.

Someone happened to witness the scene. Catherine walked to Samuel, who was still upset. She hesitated, "Mr. Shao, I just saw..."

Catherine's reluctance made Samuel think of Ella. He ran his eyes over the hall and found not only Ella missing, but also Sum!

"Tell me!" Samuel exclaimed.

Catherine was frightened by Samuel's explicit anger, "On my way to the ladies' room, I saw Miss Bo's dress accidentally torn by Emma... Then Mr. Su took Miss Bo upstairs..."

Samuel knew the suites were upstairs.

He put down his glass on the nearby table and marched to the reception desk.

"Which room is Mr. Su in? Did he go upstairs with Ella Bo?" Samuel stood behind Emma, who was questioning a receptionist.

The receptionist was caught in a dilemma, "I'm sorry, Miss. I can't give you that information for the privacy of our guests."

"Answer me! Miss Bo is my friend. Now, she is sharing a room with a man. If something happened..." Emma threatened the receptionist. Frightened, the receptionist immediately gave her a room number.

Seeing Samuel striding towards the elevator, Emma smirked.

She had done her part.

She hoped Sum would be smart and succeed with their plan.

In room 8306

Sum opened the door and let Ella enter the room first.

Following her, he closed the door partially. He deliberately left a gap.

Ella turned around, "Mr. Su, can you call your assistant now?"

Sum tossed the room card on the nearby table and nodded, "Don't worry, Ella. But I want to tell you something first." Sam said, gazing into Ella's eyes with affection.

Ella's heart jumped at Sum's words. She remembered he once confessed his love to her in college.

"Ella, do you know why I chose to study abroad?" Sum asked sadly as he approached Ella.

"Why does he look so sad?" Ella was lost in thought. She didn't notice Sum approaching.

"Ella, I've been in love with you for almost ten years. I wanted to be a better man worthy of you, so I decided to study abroad." Sum said, putting his hands on Ella's shoulders.

"Uh..." Ella was too shocked to say anything.

"But when I came back, you had already married another man. Do you know how devastated I was when I heard the news?" Sum held Ella in his arms.

Ella wanted to push Sum away, but she couldn't let go of her dress.

"Sum..." Ella was upset. Sum knew she was married, how could he hold her this way!

"Ella, when I discovered that Samuel Shao was still dating Emma Gu, I decided to win you back. Samuel Shao is a playboy. He doesn't love you at all. He's in love with Emma Gu..."
