Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 223

"Emma, you don't know me?" Catherine smiled and asked softly. Emma's eyes just glazed over Catherine, showing that she really had no idea who was sitting in front of her.

Emma shook her head.

Catherine sneered.

Both of them had never thought that they would meet each other like this, in jail.

Catherine gave two red packets to the two police women, indicating them to leave them alone. They understood her meaning and left.

"Emma, do you know why I came here?"

Emma shook her head again.

Catherine frowned, when she saw her messy hair. It seemed that Emma had gone mad. How could a woman in her sense stand mess and dirtiness like this?

"Emma, do you know that the man we love is living a happy life with another woman?"

Still no reply from Emma, Catherine had full assurance of her madness.

"Since you remember nothing, I'll tell you everything. You were my scape-goat. You are in jail because of me."

"Do you know why Drake is fond of you and forces you to have sex with him?" Catherine told Emma the things that happened a long time ago, trying to entice her memories.

In fact, Drake had loved Catherine at first, but she had no feelings for him, so she tried to divert his attention to Emma.

And eventually, Drake fell in love with Emma.

However, ever since Drake fell in love with Emma, Drake had begun complaining about how she ignored him to Catherine.

She was fed up with a grown man's incessant complaints. So one night, she drugged Drake and sent Emma to his room.

Everything was falling into place like a well-formed jig-saw puzzle, but Samuel showed up. The plan was spoiled and Emma was saved.

That's all there was to it.

Emma clenched her fists tightly, unbeknownst to Catherine.

"Don't blame me for it. You have only yourself to blame for your fate. Four years ago, you were sent to hospital because of chilli allergy. I was the one who bought off a waitress, commanded her to put chilli in your meal and tried to frame Ella. You were all so stupid and believed Ella had done that.

You, also, had yourself to blame for introducing Samuel to me. I fell in love with him at the first sight."

How hilarious! Both of them adored Samuel. She would do everything to win Samuel's heart, no matter what means she used.

But she never expected Ella to show up and marry Samuel.

No one knew how intense her hatred for Ella was when she saw the news about their wedding.

So an idea came to her mind that she would use Emma to remove Ella from the picture, killing two birds with one stone.

"Do you know why Drake knew that you didn't have money? I told him. We made a deal that if I help Drake get you, he would help me against Ella. I know you would have sex with him to get money. And after you did, you would be a dishonorable woman in Samuel's eyes.

I don't know who uploaded the video between you and Felix, but I uploaded the video between you and Drake on the Internet and tried to frame Ella for it. You believed that Ella did it, which was not true. You are really gullible, aren't you?

Now Samuel has put you in prison. You have no choice but to stay here. If you can't suffer this, you may think about committing suicide, but do it quietly because no one cares about you. Rest assured, I'll try my best to win Samuel's trust and love again and get rid of Ella. Then Samuel and I will live a happy life forever."

...

Catherine laughed aloud and hung up the phone before Emma could say anything.

It was good news for her that Emma was sentenced to prison because she had one less rival to complete with. She would be working at full stretch to get rid of Ella!

Catherine's visit changed Emma. She cleaned herself the next day and her spirit seemed back to normal.

She behaved well in jail in order to be given a commuted sentence.

The man, sent to watch Emma, reported Catherine's visit to Samuel as soon as she left the jail.

"Find out what Catherine said to Emma."

In less than half an hour, Samuel got everything Catherine said to Emma.

He was furious at Catherine, but then he felt sorry for

Ella. No words could fully express his guilt.

Samuel roughly knew what kind of person Catherine was. The investigation progressed fast. On the third day, the man responsible for spreading the lies about Ella and Joseph on the Weibo was found.

Samuel knew Catherine suborned the man and filed a lawsuit.

Eventually, the man was found guilty and was sentenced to twenty years in prison.

The news of the man's sentence filtered through, causing many people to be afraid of Samuel.

It was just a malicious matter of vilifying others' reputation. But the term of imprisonment was a lot longer than the crime of murder.

It was obvious that Samuel was making an example out of this man. Since then, few paparazzi and media dared to slander Ella or follow her.

Life was back to normal again. Samuel and Ella hardly had time to discuss how to teach Catherine a lesson. So both of them waited for the other to take action against Catherine.

Samuel felt safe to let Ella fight against Catherine because he had sent many men to protect her.

Even if Ella took action without his help, she would not get hurt.

One night, after they had contented sex, Ella challenged Samuel jealously,"Mr. Shao, don't you feel pity?"

"Emm?" He lapped her in his arms and looked at her face, puzzled.

"Oh, you said that we'll wreak vengeance on Catherine. It's been a while since I came back from America. But you haven't take any action. Do you feel pity for her?"

Samuel chuckled after hearing Ella's words and explained,"I thought you would like to do it yourself without my help." That's why he sent so many people to protect her 24 hours a day.

"Huh! Stop playing games with me!"

In fact, she believed him. She only said this on purpose to tease him.

He was thoughtful for some time,"I have found a man to take care of Catherine. I'll find a place tomorrow evening and call you."

"That's okay. So long as Mr. Shao doesn't feel pity for her." Ella looked at him with a teasing smile.

"It seems that you will do something horrible to Catherine, am I right?" Samuel squinted and turned over, on top of Ella.

Her heart beat faster, as lust began to creep up her spine.

She pushed him away and sat on top of him, using her hand to push her hair to one side, as she smiled seductively. Samuel shifted her body a little, placing his hands on her waist and said wickedly,"I love this!"

He reached out to switch off the bedside lamp as an ambiguous atmosphere enveloped them.

The night was silent, except for their soft passionate moans. When the morning light began to seep through the curtains, Samuel fell asleep with Ella in his arms.

The whole night's indulgence made them fail to get up in the morning. When Jerry opened the door and walked in, he called his mum several times, but there was no reply.

But Jerry did wake Samuel up. He sat up slowly and looked at Jerry,"Who let you in? Did you knock at the door before coming in?"
