Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 73

Not only had she struck Emma, she had abused her son, and hurt innocent Catherine. Tonight, she had thrown herself into other man's arms in front of him……

'Ella, you are in so much trouble!' Samuel thought as he remembered all her unwanted behaviors. He glared at this stubborn little woman in front of him. Hot with anger, he threw his tie to the couch.

Before he had married Ella, Samuel was a witty and engrossing man who had rarely gotten angry. Though changed by this wretched marriage, he had had never lost his temper.

But now, his irritation had overwhelmed Ella. She was confused and lost.

Never mind, she could stay away from the angry man, even it was only for a while.

Ella rushed to the bedroom door as Samuel threw his shirt to the couch.

However, she could not outrun Samuel.

As soon as she had one foot out the door, Samuel caught her coat and pulled her inside.

To disengage herself from his grip, she took off the coat.

Samuel dropped the coat, and followed her.

She had been so close to the stairwell when he engulfed her in his vice-like grip.

"Still want to run away?" His dangerous voice echoed in her ears, sending a chill down Ella's spine. Samuel was being horrible!

She froze as he spun her around, and hoisted her onto his shoulder.

"Ah!" "Samuel, leave me alone......" she cried as she banged her hands on his back. As a wave of dizziness washed over her, Her hands lacked the strength to continue their assault.

Samuel felt a sudden stiffness in her body, as he threw her onto the bed.

Ella was completely surprised by the fall, and stayed still for a while.

Samuel gripped her again.

"Tell me, how should I punish you?" Samuel held her hands over her head, and pinched her cheeks in warning.

"How dare you punish me, I did nothing wrong!" Ella was telling the truth, though Samuel attributed her behavior to stubbornness.

Had he been too nice to Ella? Was it his fault that she could not understand that she should not hurt Emma again and again?

He bit her lips. The hurting Ella groaned in pain, and struggled in vain. She kicked her feet, but he caught her foot in the mid-air with ease.

His rudeness kindled her anger: "Damn you! If you pity Emma so much, then go to her!"

But her words only instigated Samuel to behave worse. His eyes burned with excitement, and crudely, he pressed his lips to hers.

...

They said nothing the whole night.

The next day, feeling refreshed, Samuel showed up at the office with teethmarks on his neck. These marks sparked discussions across the office.

"Isn't it true Mr. Shao and his wife don't get on well?"

"Or maybe Mr. Shao has another woman?"

"It could be true. I heard there was a fight at the Muse Bar. Mrs. Shao was involved!"

"Really? And then?"

"Then it is said Mrs. Shao hit Mr. Shao's mistress, and Mr. Shao showed up, and took Mrs. Shao away."

"Really?" "Mistress?" "Who is she?"

"I don't know, the news is incomplete, no one dares to spread gossip."

Catherine's face clouded as she heard her colleagues' discussions. How could she not know about yesterday? She coughed loudly to stop their talk. The crowd returned to their work areas as soon as she appeared.

Catherine held the indictment tightly in her hand, and pressed the lift button for the 68th floor.

Catherine stepped into Samuel's office after Anna checked with him.

Seeing Samuel's neck, her mind went blank. Her heart ached, and the feeling spread throughout her body.

"Miss Gu." Samuel laid down his pen, and carefully watched the woman in front of him, not paying any notice to his neck marks or the gossip by others.

Catherine forced herself to put the indictment before him.

"INDICTMENT" was written on top of the page in big font, along with the two names, Catherine and Emma. This made Samuel frown.

He knew what they wanted, even before he had opened the document.

"Go ahead, tell me your terms." He put the indictment aside.

His index finger and middle finger tapped on the table while he waited for her response.

The fact that Samuel was quick to spot her motives stirred her admiration for him.

"Divorce Ella…… and marry my sister." As she spoke, she watched Samuel's reactions intently, Seeing his hand pause, and his eyes narrowing as he glared at her.

Shocked by his reaction, Catherine spoke, "I really don't know what you are thinking. Why do you keep hurting my sister again and again for that insidious woman?"

"My marriage is none of your business. Miss Gu, just because I asked for your terms doesn't mean I am not confident I will win the case. I simply am in no mood to deal with something so trivial! You know what I mean." said Samuel in a low and dry tone, leaving Catherine biting her lower lip.

For a second, she felt she had overreached. Samuel was a very successful international lawyer. He could win any case he worked on!

"I've punished Ella. If there were any unintentional offenses, please forgive her." As for their marriage, it would depend on Ella's behavior in the future. He would again consider a divorce if she was still childish enough to do the wrong things.

To Catherine, Samuel was protecting this woman just like a parent would protect their child.

A wry smile spread across her lips. She envied Ella……

Ella trapped him into sleeping with her, and finally got his protection. Would Samuel be so good to her, if she had done the same?

"So you think your apology can make up for my sister being humiliated and hit?" Catherine tore the indictment in his face.

Samuel looked at the shreds of paper in the bin and exclaimed, "We'll meet Emma, and I'll make Ella apologize to her."

Come to think of it, Ella is like a kid who always got into trouble, and made Samuel, a parent-like husband, to apologize on her behalf……

"So, then, solve it with my sister. I'll no longer get involved." Catherine turned around, and left his office.

Samuel watched the door close. Then he took a cigarette out of its pack, and lit it, And thought about the woman. What did she mean to do? What was her motive?

At the Royal Valley Mansion

1:00 PM

The woman lying on the queen-size bed turned over. "Ouch!" It hurt!

Ella silently cursed Samuel for the thousandth time.
