Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 222

She didn't look down on Joseph as she knew that Joseph and Ella were not into each other.

On hearing that, Ella was quite touched.

"Lillian, thank you for trusting us. We will explain everything as soon as possible."

"You're welcome. Take it easy. Don't be mad about it." Lillian understood why Ella cared about this case so much. For one thing, there had been some rumors about her and Joseph, made up by the media.

But this time, the evidence seemed so convincing, she could not bare it.

For another, Joseph was her husband while Ella and her were close friends. Ella didn't want these rumors to ruin their relationship.

"Okay, I'll call Joseph right now and see what he is thinking." Ella felt relieved. She said good-bye to the director and went back to her company.

After hanging up the phone, Lillian searched the internet for hot topics and read several articles. Then she threw her phone to the sofa out of resignation.

Stupid media! She thought.

Earlier Ella had told Samuel what had happened, which made him very anxious.

He had been having a meeting about an international case that lasted the entire morning.

The atmosphere was tense because Samuel was anxious. Suddenly his phone rang and the caller seemed to ease all his worries.

"Excuse me, I have a phone call."

The other lawyers began to talk about the wound on his lip right after he left, Coming to the conclusion that he was bitten by a girl last night when they two were having sex.

At the smoking area.

Samuel answered the call, "Darling."

"Samuel, I cheated on you!"

When he heard this, Samuel went blank and then almost instantaneously chuckled.

"Dare you? I dare you to cheat on me? Do you think I'm a coward?"

Ella was speechless, as she didn't expect this reaction.

"Hmph! I have just cheated on you with Joseph! How about that? What a surprise!"

Joseph? He took a drag on his cigarette and exhaled the smoke. "Do you think that I am an idiot?"

"You can check it out on the Internet. The news has gone viral." Ella said with a smile. She was glad that Samuel trusted her.

"So what? I know you love me." Samuel was sure about that.

Ella widened her smile and feigned anger. "Samuel! I am angry! I am really, really angry! I want you to be my lawyer!"

"No problem. Since you are my wife, all the services that I can offer will be free, including..."

"Samuel! I'm serious! Don't make fun of me!"

At that moment, Samuel was being very naughty. She knew what he meant. He definitely wanted to insinuate something sexual.

"Fine. I'll handle all these. Just give me the passwords for your social media accounts." Samuel ashed the cigarette end. He decided to put everything on hold, after all, his wife was his priority.

"Samuel, my dear Samuel. I love you." Ella said in a sweet tone.

......

Her lovely voice excited him. He wished he could give her a big sloppy kiss right now!

"Just say it." Samuel said with a lowered voice.

"Nothing." Ella resumed her normal voice.

Samuel supported his forehead in resignation and said, "You little wicked girl. I promise you, I'll make you cry later tonight. In bed."

......

"I didn't seduce you. You can't do that. Otherwise, I will be angry!" Ella knew how strong he was.

"Who called me 'dear Samuel' just now? Isn't that seduction?"

Well, it seemed that he was rather excited.

"Dear Samuel. I know you will help me win the case. Bye-bye! Love you!" Ella hang up the phone, leaving Samuel in resignation. He then began to search for articles and images under hot topics.

The more he read, the more certain he was that the topics were clearly targeted at Ella. Catherine must be the mastermind.

After dialing several calls, Samuel and Joseph made the articles disappear from social media.

Samuel hurried to his office and wrote a lawyer's letter in his name, demonstrating his determination to figure out the truth. He put his seal on the letter and post it on Ella's social media account.

Then Joseph got the same picture of the letter and post it on his media account too.

After that, Samuel logged in his own account, retweeted Ella's post and wrote, "Focus on your shoot. I'll handle this."

What a public display of affection.

Lillian retweeted Joseph's post and wrote, "Love you, darling."

Seeing that both sides responded positively, the public now knew the gossip was fake.

Before the PR team of Starry Company took action, the issue was solved.

The whole thing seemed to be a blessing in disguise. Joseph and Ella gained much attention after this.

Fans even encouraged Ella and Samuel to return to each other and Samuel even responded to one of the comments.

The comment read, 'Lawyer Shao, Ella is a good girl. What are you waiting for?'

Samuel responded to it, 'I know. Be patient'.

He seemed to be admitting that they were back together.

The interaction between Samuel and the fan was exposed by dozens of mass media. Then the news went viral.

Life in the women's prison was boring compared to the life outside.

A taxi stopped at the gate of the women's prison. A vistor got out of the car and walked into the prison.

"No. 26, you've got a visitor, " said the prison guard to Emma, displaying a stolid expression on her face.

The girl with unruly hair huddled herself up in the corner. Her eyes rolled a little when she heard the prison guard's call.

Two guards took her out.

One of them muttered, "I wonder who would like to visit a nut."

"I am curious too. By the way, she was so lucky. It surprised me to see her survive so many wounds."

Back when she had been sent here, the wounds had been just sown up, and no one sent her any medicine. But to their surprise, the wounds healed nicely.

Managing to see who came to visit her, Emma could not help clench her fists.

The woman facing her sensed her anger clearly.

Emma had not been in prison for long, but she had already lost a lot of weight.

Catherine lifted the phone indifferently. Anyway, Emma couldn't get out from here in next dozens of years.

"Who are you?" A trace of strangness showed in Emma's eyes. Catherine gazed at her eyes, wondering whether she was asking the question for real.
