Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 221

Pursing her lips for a second, Ella listened to Samuel and tied his tie for him obediently.

"Samuel, you are an adult. Don't you feel ashamed to ask someone else to do such a simple thing for you?" Walking closer to his parents, Jerry said sarcastically.

Ignoring Jerry, Samuel just looked at Ella with love.

Ella couldn't bear Samuel's attitude, "Samuel, Jerry is just a kid. Don't be so mean to him. You are making him sad."

Samuel then raised his eyebrows to look at Jerry, but he didn't notice any sign of sadness.

Realizing that Ella was speaking for him, Jerry made a sour face and complained, "Mommy, Samuel made extreme rules for me when you were absent. I wasn't allowed to play games or watch TV."

Speechless, Samuel glared at his son for lying.

He decided to teach him a lesson, but was stopped the moment he raised his hand. "What are you doing, Samuel?"

"Teaching him a lesson. How dare he lie?"

"Jerry is your son, isn't he? Why do you treat them like this?" Ella was miffed, thinking that Samuel didn't care for Jerry.

Sensing Ella's anger, Samuel lowered his hand and pointed at Jerry, "How dare you tell lies at such a young age? Ask him why I didn't allow him to play games."

Jerry answered reluctantly, "Because it was quite late that day."

...

"Well, Okay." Ella didn't know what to say but helped Samuel with his tie again, "Here you go."

Kissing her on the forehead, Samuel said, "Remember to have breakfast downstairs." Then he took Jerry with him, "Time for school. I'll drop you off today."

"Are you sure, dad? Your company is towards the south while my kindergarten is towards the east."

Unwilling to be with his father, Jerry tried to pull back his hand.

"Stop it! I'm taking you to school and that's that."

Samuel didn't want to waste time. Grabbing Jerry by the collar, Samuel dragged him out of the room.

Ella intended to stop Samuel, but a memory flashed across her mind of little Jerry peeing on Samuel's face, when he was just a baby. Samuel reaction was similar to the way he was acting now.

She couldn't help gigging and decided to retell the incident to Samuel later on that night.

Later on, Ella left for the movie set after she visited the main headquarters of her company. A couple of hours later, the director was forced to stop shooting because of Eden.

"What's wrong?" Removing her hairpiece, Ella asked Eden, who looked quite anxious.

Eden couldn't even say a word, he handed over his phone to Ella.

It was a hot topic related to Ella and Joseph.

Ella saw that the writer, a netizen called "A true moon, " had published an article which contained numerous photos and related descriptions, discussing how Joseph had an affair with Ella.

Three of the photos were shot when Joseph and her were filming, others were edited by someone on purpose.

The edited photos showed that Joseph and her were walking side by side, and both of them got in a car later.

But the truth was that she was walking with Samuel while Joseph with Lilian. After editing, it was easy to believe that they were together.

The last two photos were shot when she was chatting with Joseph on a cruise. At that time, she had just come back to C Country and attended a kickoff ceremony held on the cruise. Someone had taken the photos on purpose and edited them to make the two of them look closer.

Ella was furious. It didn't make sense. Both Joseph and her were married with children. Who the hell would fabricate this scandal? Who was the target? Joseph or her?

Looking at some of the comments beneath the article, Ella was a little relieved. Though some people believed the fake news, most people didn't.

"Fake news. How dare they insult my idols?"

"They are married and with children. This seems suspicious to me."

"My god! Ella was such a bitch. How can she do something like this?"

"If it's true, both of them should be banned from the entertainment industry."

……

During their break, all the film crew staff had heard and seen the news and began talking about it, whilst staring at Ella.

Ella's rage boiled beneath the surface.

"Who?" "Who? Who the hell did this?" She wanted to get to the bottom of this.

Holding the phone tight, Ella tried to control her emotions. If it were not for the fact that it was Eden's phone, she would have thrown it away.

Asking Eden to bring her own phone, she saw a few missed calls from Joseph and the PR Department of her company.

She didn't call back but called Lilian first.

"Hi, this is Lilian." Lilian answered with a normal voice. Ella wasn't sure whether she had seen the news yet.

"Lilian, listen. I'm really pissed off." Ella was so angry that she had no idea where to start. How would she face Lilian after this?

"What's wrong, Ella? Calm down. I'm listening."

"There is a hot topic article on the internet about Joseph and I. I don't know where this rumor came from but apparently me and Joseph are having an affair. Trust me we aren't. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe that Joseph would never do that to you."

"Hold the line Ella." Lilian responded, her voice clearly shaking.

Less than a minute later, Lillian spoke again. "I've seen it. Fake news. Those are just rumors. No, Ella. I trust you, even more than I trust Joseph."

"What? Why don't you trust him?" Ella was dumbfounded.

"How can I trust a man that easily? He hasn't done anything distrustful, yet, but it doesn't mean he wouldn't in the future. But things are different when it comes to women, especially you, my best friend." She had heard many rumors about Joseph and she had grown immune to this sort of things.

'An affair between Joseph and Ella? Whoever started this rumor is stupid. Ella is still with Samuel. Even if she is divorced, She wouldn't have targeted any of her friends' men.' Lillian breathed easy.
