Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 74

Couldn't this heartless man show a little mercy? Did it matter that she was not the one he loved? She was a woman. Did that mean that he could not show tenderness to other women?

Her husband didn't trust her and punished her for another woman.

She felt she shouldn't be blamed for raising a fuss! Perhaps she shouldn't make things easy for Samuel!

She tried to move but couldn't get up at all! Ella picked up her cell phone that had been on the bedside table and called Monkey.

"Hello, Ella, what's the matter?" He was wondering why Ella had not answered his call several times the previous day.

Ella sighed. Even her friend cared for her more than her husband.

"Yeah, fine, I'm not dead. How about you?" If Monkey weren't in Country C because of a business trip, she would have to find someone to help her cope with Emma.

Hearing that she was okay, Monkey felt relieved, "We are also fine. I heard that yesterday someone called the police. But the policemen were sent away as soon as they arrived. Was your husband involved?

Could it have been Samuel? Ella was not sure either. "Are you free tonight?" She wanted to take action.

"Hmm... You want to do it again?" Monkey thought that it sounded like she wanted to.

Ella giggled, "Nice, you know me well." She had dealt with Emma, and now, it was Catherine's turn. She wouldn't let Catherine pass.

Monkey promised without asking any questions, "No problem. Give me the address. I will bring my friends at night. Monkey was not nice to everyone. Back in high school, Ella often engaged in gang fights for him.

"You are a good friend! But...It all depends. I will call you tonight!" She was not familiar with Catherine's schedule. So she could only start after knowing all the information.

"Okay, call me anytime!"

"OK." Ella hung up the phone and opened Weibo scanning yesterday's news. Fortunately, there was none about the incident last night. Was it because the people in the bar didn't know them or, had someone removed the news?

That was not important as long as there wasn't such news.

Now, there was another thing that she needed to do. She struggled to get up. Her first stop would be the bathroom!

Joy Liu heated lunch for Ella at noon. Ella ate quickly before leaving.

She arrived at the motorbike market by taxi. Ella looked at the credit card in her hand. Samuel had given it to her. She hesitated for few seconds before finally entering the market.

An hour later, Samuel received an alert on his phone, "Dear Customer! SL bank notifies you that you have spent 12 thousand..."

Ella had this credit card. What did she buy with the money? Samuel was curious for a second but didn't think about it further. He continued to work.

After swiping the credit card, Ella roared out of the market on a white motorcycle.

At Samuel's law office, Anna knocked at the office door before entering. "Samuel, It's time to meet the leader of the Fang's Group."

"Okay, I'm coming." Samuel tidied up his table and went out with his briefcase.

After leaving the office, Samuel and Anna headed for the parking lot. Anna sat at the driver's seat, while Samuel sat at the passenger seat. He had documents to finish reading.

At the crossing of Xinhua Road, 60 seconds before the traffic light turned green, Anna looked at her wrist watch. From the corner of her eye, she saw a shadow by the road.

The woman on the motorbike wore a white woolen coat. She looked like Ella. How could that be?

"Samuel, look at her. She is......"

Samuel looked in the direction Anna was pointing at, and saw a woman wearing a helmet. Her white woolen coat looked familiar. She was also waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

Seeing her riding on the super-powered motorcycle, Samuel's face darkened. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

Ella removed her helmet when she heard her phone ring. She stuck her hand in her pocket and pulled out her phone.

Samuel? Why was he calling? "Hello." She sounded a little angry.

"Where are you?" Samuel saw her answering the phone, holding her helmet.

"Me? I am home. How dare I go out without your permission?" Ella shook her leg while she answered him sarcastically.

Samuel laughed, "Turn around. On your left."

Ella suddenly had a bad feeling. Holding her phone in astonishment, she turned.

As expected, they made eye contact. My god! Ella almost throw her phone away!

Ella's face turned red since her lie had been caught.

At this time, the light turned green and other drivers honked in annoyance.

Ella put on her helmet, stepped on the gas, and roared forward.

Samuel saw her riding away at high speed. He felt a throbbing at his temple.

"Chase her!" The man commanded coolly, and thought about teaching her a lesson after catching up with her. Had she bought the motorcycle with his money?

Anna looked at her watch confused, "But...Your appointment with the Fang's Group......"

"Change it to another day. Choose a suitable time later."

Anna speechlessly stepped on the gas, and followed the white shadow that had almost disappeared.

Samuel and Anna struggled to keep up with Ella. They chased her down a straight road, not stopping for the changing traffic lights. However, Ella caught a break when the light for a right turn turned green. She managed to slip through, while the Porsche got stuck behind two cars.

It was too late to turn. They had lost Ella.

Samuel's face darkened completely. What a dishonest woman! It seemed that yesterday's punishment was not enough.

"To Fang's Group."

Anna felt relieved upon hearing Samuel's order.

Seeing the familiar Porsche fail to catch up with her, Ella breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down gradually.

She was doomed this time. She had lied to Samuel again. He would not let her get away with this.

After struggling for a while, Ella decided to deal with Catherine first, and went back to the old house to spend more time with her kid.

If Samuel wouldn't let her enter the old house, she would beg grandmother to bring Jerry out and live in a rental house with him.

Hum! That's it! Having made a plan, Ella started to worry about how to ask Catherine to come out.

Ella spent the rest of her time wandering the downtown area. At night, she called Monkey.

Having heard about Emma, Catherine would be defensive. So Ella planned to asked Catherine to a coffee shop.

She begged Anna for Catherine's number and then dialed the number.

"Hello!" Catherine's voice came from the other side of the phone.

Ella felt nauseated and pouted, but still smiled, "Lawyer Gu, this is Ella."

Catherine turned defensive as soon as she heard who was calling. "Why do you call me? What do you want?" Her tone totally changed.

"Haha, I just want to ask you out for a cup of coffee and apologize to you. Please come." 'Bah, in what universe do I have to apologize to you?' thought Ella in disgust. Nice try!

After hearing Ella, Catherine's first action was to mock her, "No, Your apology comes at too high a price, I can't afford it." Apologize to her? Catherine hadn't expected this.

She remembered Ella's rebellious nature, and felt as though she couldn't trust her.
