Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 66

This time, she wrote down all the questions and only went back to the office once this afternoon.

Because Ella had planned to go back to the old house in the evening, she turned to Sum to ask for a favor. She hoped that she could leave work half an hour earlier.

Sum agreed straightforwardly. After a day's work, she said goodbye to him and left the company.

What she did not know was that the people were starting to gossip about them.

It was already seven o'clock when she returned to the old house.

Vincent was feeding the baby in the baby chair with Millet soup. Seeing her come, he said: "Ella, stay with us and have dinner. Why didn't you tell us that you are coming"

Mrs. Qi put a set of tableware between Melody and Jerry.

"It's fine. I get out late. You don't have to wait for me, you can have dinner first." Ella hugged her son and washed her hands, then sat by him at the dining table.

Melody Han served her some soup and asked her: "What have you been doing these last two days, Ella?"

Ella gave her son some steamed bread and turned to her grandmother: "I got a job. Today was my first day."

"Found a job? You are quite independent now." Viola interrupted her and made Ella a little embarrassed. Ella didn't understand what she meant by that, but she didn't asked further.

Vincent cast a glance at his wife and scolded her: "It's not your business. Eat your dinner."

Viola glared at him and went on to eat her meal.

Melody picked out some food for Ella and asked her: "Why do you want to have a job?"

Ella ate her food in the plate and answered her: "There is nothing for me to do back at home and so I might as well go out and find myself a job." explained Ella.

Of course, everyone knew what she really meant in that sentence.

"Well, Keep up the good work. Are you still living in Yugu?" Melody always supported her decision, no matter what she did.

Ella stopped eating for a second and shook her head: "I'll be living here for the time being, and if the job turns out okay, I will rent a house later." She was afraid of Samuel bringing other women to Yugu.

Her words silenced Melody.

After feeding his grandson the last mouthful of millet soup, Vincent looked at Ella, whose head was now lowered down: "Things are still not working out between the two of you?"

Ella shook her head when she finally realized he was asking her: "No, our house is a littler far away from the company. It will be more convenient for me if I rent a house." It took half an hour to drive to Sum's company. It was, indeed, a little bit too far.

But Viola didn't think so. She had a certain grudge held against Ella because of the scandal she was involved in. As far as Viola was concerned, there was nothing good about Ella.

"You can rent a house in another, hidden place, and do something that we don't know about. It's more convenient, of course." She was referring to other things, so Ella now stopped eating completely.

"Mum, if you are referring to the so called scandal that happened the other day, I can fully explain it to you..."

"You needn't to explain to us. You know everything that's in your heart and so do we." Viola cut her words directly.

Vincent put down his chopsticks heavily and seriously. His expression was like Melody's, to some extent. "Can't you have dinner peacefully?"

Viola sensed that her husband was getting mad, she stopped talking, and continued to eat her dinner.

In the end, they finished their dinner peacefully and without any more arguments.

It was already 11 o'clock when Samuel came back to the villa. He was a little disappointed when he saw that the house was empty.

He took out his phone and sent her a message via Wechat; "Where are you?"

Ella was so excited when she saw the message from him, and immediately replied: "Old house." She was sleeping with their son.

"Who allowed you to leave the house?"

She became upset with his accusation.

"It's not any of your business!" Recently, he was back in good relation with Emma. How could he remember her now?

Samuel was angry, and answered her with only two words: "Ella Bo!"

"Samuel, can you accept my apology, please?" However, she received no reply.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, She gave up. Smiling bitterly, she turned off her phone and slept with her arms across her son.

In the following few days, Ella adapted to the new working environment she was in quickly and soon was able to finish her work with ease.

However, rumors about her and Sum started to spread when people in the company found out whom she really was.

In Samuel's law firm.

The door of the office was knocked on: "Come in." Getting his permission to enter, Emma came in.

Samuel cast a glance at her and continued working.

Emma knew he didn't want to talk with her. She had to find some words to say to him: "Samuel, do you know where your wife is?" Were it not for Catherine, Emma would have known nothing about it.

Samuel frowned at her words. Wasn't she in old house?

"Why have you come?" He asked her without raising his head out of his papers.

Emma stepped forward: "Your wife is cheating on you but you are still calm. I gotta hand it to you! How can you choose that tramp over me?"

"Watch your mouth!" The sharp voice of the man interrupted and silenced her complaints in an instant.

Emma bit her lower lip slightly and finished her sentence: "Your wife is staying with her new lover all day long. How can you still back her up? I feel sad for you."

The man raised his hand and stared at her. "Evidence."

Emma had expected he would demand this, and he showed him the photos she had from Catherine. In the pictures, Ella and Sum were walking out of the office together and laughing happily.

The evidence was clear. The expression on Samuel's face changed immediately.

He had thought that the woman was staying at the old house all the time. But instead, she was out meeting with her lover!

"Get out!" said Samuel with coldness in his words. Emma had no idea what he was really feeling.

Samuel became more and more inscrutable in any way possible. She couldn't understand him at all.

Emma had achieved her goal and said nothing more: "Okay, I will leave first." She left Samuel's office.

After she had shut the door, a diamond-encrusted pen was slammed against the wall by Samuel.

Taking out his phone out of his pocket, he found her phone number and made a call.

"Hello, I am Ella's colleague. She was in the office and discussed something with Mr. Sum. You can call her later." Ella's phone kept ringing so Ms. Zhen answered it for her.

The phone was hung up abruptly. Zhen stared at the phone with a baffled look on her face and went back to her work.

Twenty minutes later, Ella went out of the office. Ms. Zhen was too busy and totally forgot to tell Ella about that call.

Half past five p.m.

Ella clocked out and left the office.

She walked towards her car and got out of her purse the key. Just when she was going to open the door, a powerful grip drew her back from it. Her mind was blank at that moment and this hand forced her into the car that was parked beside her.
