Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 72

Did Samuel dream of Ella demanding an apology from Emma? Keep dreaming! Don't mistake a tiger to be a cat because it hasn't roared at you yet.

Emma rubbed her sore cheek. When she thought back to that moment, every nerve in Emma's body was filled with hatred. "Ella, who do you think you are? How dare you ask me to apologize!" Emma had always despised the woman in front of her. She had been so desperate to gain Samuel's love!

"It's alright, Monkey. Keep beating her!" Ella crossed her arms, and looked scornfully at the sharp-tongued Emma. She would surely beat her till Emma apologized!

Monkey, along with a few men with short multicolored hair, kept moving forward. As soon as he raised his hand, he heard someone shouting, "Stop!" A cold voice came from behind them.

Hearing the familiar voice, Emma immediately changed her expression from angry to pitiful. But Ella sat on her chair proudly, just like a female mafia boss.

"Samuel, help me." A soft voice pleaded with Samuel. Looking at Emma, he thought Ella had gone too far.

Samuel coolly looked at the calm woman, and then walked straight towards Emma.

"Stop! Don't touch her. I haven't taught Emma her lesson yet!" Now that Samuel had seen Emma like this, all angry and vengeful, she didn't feel the need to pretend to be gentle.

Samuel, who had pulled his hand out of his pocket to help Emma, stopped midway. At Ella's tone, his eyes filled with anger.

So he turned around, and went towards Ella.

He glanced at the people around her and frowned. When did she associate with people like these?

"Come back home." Samuel ordered coldly. He could settle the situation at home in private!

Ella pushed Samuel away and raised her voice, "Why should I go home? I'm gonna beat your mistress to death!" Emma had become her archenemy.

The onlookers, hearing what Ella said, suddenly realized that the woman on the ground was Samuel's mistress!

However, this mistress did have taste, for she had attached herself to a handsome and stylish man.

Samuel's anger rose, and he pulled Ella from her chair violently. Caught off guard by Samuel's sudden move, Ella fell down into his arms.

His smell calmed her, and her anger died instantly.

"I have said this before. If anyone in this love triangle is a mistress, it would be you, not Emma..." Samuel whispered in Ella's ear.

Ella's heart froze. How she have forgotten that? Why did she expect him to value her over Emma? She recalled Samuel saying this to her on the day she had given birth to his son...

Enraged, Ella thrust Samuel aside and rushed at Emma. Before Samuel could catch her, Ella lifted Emma's chin with her left hand, and raised her right hand.

The sound of a slap quietened the room. Everyone looked at the two women, aghast by Ella's actions.

"Ahh!" Emma screamed painfully.

Ella had surprised them all with her fierceness. She was openly confronting the mistress in a bar. Such a strong girl!

Wanting to end this drama, Samuel went over to Ella.

As Ella struggled against Samuel's grip, another strong arm held her hand.

She looked over with confusion. "Sum?" Why would he be here?

Sum pulled Ella towards him, and smiled devilishly. "Let it out, Ella. I have your back."

...

Sum's words surprised Ella. She had felt so alone. And now that she had some support, tears filled her eyes.

She admitted that Sum's words had really touched her. Especially under the conditions; her husband was protecting his mistress instead of supporting his wife. Ella pushed Samuel away, and threw herself into Sum's arms, in her husband's presence.

Sum was surprised but he quickly wrapped Ella in a big hug.

This confrontation couldn't have been weirder. What was going on here? First, Samuel was protecting his mistress.

And now, Samuel's wife was throwing herself into another man's arms in front of her husband... Samuel was completely embarrassed by his wife's actions.

He clenched his hands into fists, and pulled Ella back from Sum's arms.

"My sweet wife, you are so naughty." Although Samuel spoke lovingly, Ella noted the subtle warning.

He even went as far as to touch Ella's long hair.

Emma looked on at the scene unfolding before her. She was jealous. Her companion helped her up from the ground.

Ella slapped Samuel's hand off, and prepared to embrace Sum again. Samuel was trying to control his anger. He didn't want to address private issues in front of all these people. He tried holding Ella's hand as tightly as possible to prevent her from running to Sum.

He signaled to a waiter. Samuel handed the waiter a stack of money, and a business card from his wallet. "Take Miss Gu to the hospital. Estimate other losses, and call me."

Ella was no longer struggling. She looked at money he was offering the waiter. She snatched it and shook it at Emma. "Not even a penny of my husband's money will be spent on another woman!"

Regardless of Emma's pale face, she put the money into her own pocket, and hugged Sum for the third time.

Samuel had had enough. He grabbed Ella by her wrist, lifted her in his arms, and headed for the bar door.

"Samuel, let me go!" Ella's protests could be heard even after she and Samuel had left the bar.

Sum watched the two leave, and remembered the feeling of Ella throwing herself at him. He was in a good mood.

Then he looked at Emma. "Shall we talk, Miss Gu?" In order to get Ella back, Sum had would have to put aside his hatred for this woman who had hurt Ella.

"I have nothing to talk about with you." Emma said to Sum while nursing her bruised face. Ella, you shameless cunt. She must get rid of Ella one day!

Sum saw the hatred in her eyes, and smiled. "Aren't you hooked on Samuel? And I am in love with Ella. So..."

An hour later, Emma was in a good mood. She had left the bar with her companion, and was on her way to the hospital.

The Royal Mansion

Samuel slammed the door after pulling Ella from the car without mercy.

"Let go of me!" Ella shouted with rage.

Samuel stared at her coldly, which made Ella shut her mouth at once.

In the corridor of the second floor, Ella was still being pulled by the man. "Samuel, give me my son!" Ella nearly cried.

The man suddenly stopped and looked at her. His eyes flashed evilly. "You want a child?"

Ella didn't understand his hidden meaning, so she nodded. "Yes!" How could she give up her son?

"That's easy. We can make another child!" The man dragged the blushing woman into the bedroom.

"Hey! I mean my baby, Jerry. Can't you understand?" Ella shouted at the man who was taking off his coat.

Samuel hung his suit on the hanger. He loosened his tie, and looked at her expressionlessly. "I don't understand. Tell me, how should I settle this mess you made?"

Remembering the past, from the time Ella had started work at Sum's company, she was always with him.
