Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 57

In the video, she saw a woman peeking around and then entering a room. She definitely knew her. That woman was Ella Bo.

She had stubled over the truth, and now Emma smiled with satisfaction. "I'll call you as soon as I get hold of the money."

Emma stood up from her seat, grabbed her handbag and left the coffee shop she was in. She looked at the clear sky and felt she was in an excellent mood.

"Ella Bo, you bitch! I'll soon rub that smug smile off your face!" thought Emma. And Samuel would be hers again!

When Emma called Samuel, he was busy in his office room.

"I have something to tell you. I'll see you at our old meeting place." Their old meeting place was a park, where Samuel used to take her for out for walks.

Samuel rubbed the spot between his eyebrows, "No, you can just talk to me on the phone. We can't meet." He had promised Ella to stop seeing her.

He didn't even want to see her. Emma bitterly smiled over the phone: "It's about Ella, and it's really dead-serious. Think about it. I'll wait for you for an hour." And then she hung up on him.

Was it really about Ella? Ten minutes later, Samuel took his car keys, left the office and drove out to the place Emma had told him she'd be waiting for him.

Along the way, he vaguely had a strange feeling of foreboding. What exactly would Emma tell him of his wife, Ella? If she would start denigrating her based on little or no evidence, he would be very mad.

Outside, the weather was a little bit hot, and when Samuel got out of the car, he loosened the tie Ella had tied for him when he had left home that day.

He couldn't help but smile when he thought of that little woman of so many hidden facets.

But the woman who was now standing nearby by the river pulled him back to reality.

Emma stood waiting by the river in a khaki windbreaker, her long hair blown up by the night wind and graciously floating in the air.

This was a scene that Samuel had seen so many times in the past, and it happened that every time it attracted him more and more. But now he wouldn't let himself feel this feeling.

Looking at the man who was walking closer and closer to her, Emma suppressed her excited mood and looked at him with tender eyes.

She thought that there was a chance that he would return to her, but his face showed an expression of impatience on it.

Emma ignored this fact. "Sam, I miss you so much" she thought. It had been a just couple of days since her return from the United States. They had not met once since, and every time she sent him a private message on Weibo, he wouldn't reply.

Samuel felt only impatience in his heart when he saw the affectionate woman. "What's the matter? Tell me, quickly."

She gave him a bitter smile: "Are you going to believe me if I tell you what I know?" She didn't give out the evidence she knew of in haste. She was smart.

"It depends." replied Samuel. His answer was ambiguous.

"Ella Bo is a scheming and deliberate bitch. Last year, she entered your hotel room intentionally, and I have proof." She indeed told him the truth.

Samuel's face almost fell to the ground as he heard these words. Emma was not sure whether he was angry at Ella or at her for breaking this bad news.

"Miss Gu, I advise you to watch your language." How could she call his wife a deliberate and scheming bitch! Samuel was vexed at what he had just heard.

Looking at his reaction, Emma knew that Ella had a certain place in Samuel's heart, and that he wasn't quite ready to give up on her.

She then took out her phone.

Samuel was impatient at the start, then he fell into silence, and then his face grew more and more austere and grave.

How could he not know the woman in the video he was watching on Emma's phone? It was the same woman he held tight in his arms day and night!

And how could he not know that room? It was the same room that he had stayed in on the night of Harry's wedding!

He fast forwarded the video after he saw that Ella had entered his room.

Two hours later, Ella came out of his room, with her hair and clothes a mess. It was obvious, and anyone could see and determine what she had been through.

Betrayal, lies, and deceit. Anger gushed with speed into his body and soul.

He clenched Emma's phone, and Ella's abnormal behaviors from lately came back to him.

She had asked him what he would do if it was her who lied to him.

And the night she spent in the old house! She definitely had also talked to Melody about this!

Samuel swiftly took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed Melody's number with an increasing appalling look on his face.

Even Emma was now scared. She had never seen him like this never before in their past relationship. She wondered what would happen next…

The phone put through quickly. It sounded like Melody was playing with his son. His son... Samuel closed his eyes in pain as he heard her speaking.

"Sam?"

"Grandma, the other night when Ella was in your room, did she confess to you that she had entered my hotel room last year, when we were at Harry's wedding?" His tone was undoubting. And Melody's joyful mood quickly passed away.

"Did she tell you or not?" But Ella had decided not to let him know at this particular moment.

Samuel had now figured it all out when he heard her talking like that. His eyes were bloodshot with anger when he hung up the phone.

He then copied the video from Emma's into his own phone and prepared to leave.

Emma took him by the waist from behind as he was about to leave: "Sam, now you know how scheming and deliberate she can be! When I visited her and called her on her phone, you didn't dare stand up for me, even though she treated me like that. Then you still couldn't believe it when she knew I was allergic to chili and set me up. Sam..." Emma sounded so wronged now, which made Samuel feel so guilty.

"I'm sorry, I… couldn't see who she really was, up until now." Samuel apologized to her.

Then he plucked her hands off of him and left the park without ever turning his back not even once.

Back in the old house, Melody began to feel worried by the second after her phone call ended with Samuel. She immediately wanted to call Ella and ask her what was going on, but her cell phone was powered off the whole time she tried ringing her.

Ella was busy printing documents for Samuel in the study, and she didn't notice her battery died.

Samuel wanted to return to the mansion and confront Ella, but he was afraid that he would kill her in anger.

He turned back, and instead drove to the Storm.

In the compartment

Samuel ordered bottles and bottles of liqueur, and watched the video on his phone again and again.

All the virtues and qualities that he thought she possessed had now been turned into just bitter sarcasm in his eyes. This bitch!

"Bang!" Samuel threw and smashed an empty bottle against the wall. All of its broken pieces scattered on the floor.

Ella Bo! Ella Bo! Ella Bo! Why would you lie to me! He had told her that what he hated most in this world was cheating!

How ironic it was to think of her smile!

Ha ha ha, Ella Bo, you, indeed, really had the means to achieve your goals!

......

In the villa, Ella had printed out all the documents, but Samuel had not returned yet.

It was after 11 o'clock at night, but Samuel still hadn't returned back home. And when she called him, none of her phone calls were answered.

Ella went out to the balcony. It was raining cats and dogs outside. It was pouring!

No one answered her phone calls in the office, either. She, by no means, could get in touch with Samuel.

By one o 'clock in the morning, Ella had by now fallen asleep and the bedroom door had suddenly been pushed open.

She woke up and saw Samuel standing in the door, with his face flushed and his breath stinking of liquor.

How much did he drink? He couldn't even walk straight!

But before Ella could have a chance to put on her shoes, Samuel waddled to the edge of the bed.

Did she see anger in his eyes?

The next moment, he started choking her her.

What was wrong with him? "Sam...you... What's going on? Please…" Ella strenuously managed to spit out a few words.

Samuel remembered Ella's surveillance video and his eyes were more and more bloodshot and seemed to be popping out of their sockets with anger. This bitch!
