Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 137

It was time for ballroom dancing. Ella was reluctant to dance but everyone else went to the dance floor.

But she gave in, and Eden and Ella joined the rest on the dance floor.

Unaware of the time, Ella heard a couple talking in low and hushed voices. Immediately, she recognized who they were.

"Let's go back to the old house tomorrow. It's my Mum's birthday."

"Sure." The woman replied shrewdly.

Switching places with Eden, Ella used all her strength and stepped on Catherine. Catherine yelped in pain.

Then Ella switched back. Eden noticed what Ella had done but kept quiet. She had stepped on Catherine's feet with her 7 cm high-heeled shoes.

"Oh, my god, you are such a bitch." Samuel whispered to Ella.

Such a scene would be proof enough that they had had an affair.

Samuel wanted to switch dance partners when he saw that Catherine wasn't able to dance anymore.

To her surprise, Samuel stood before Ella.

No-one noticed their interaction because of the dim light.

Samuel pulled Ella into his arms involuntarily and warned her, "Don't you dare do anything to hurt her!"

His breath washed over Ella's ear, making her itch.

There was something about the way he was whispering in her ear that made Ella lose her mind for a moment.

Samuel felt the same way. If they had not been here, he would have had sex with her to release his anger.

Ella raised her lips, put her hands around his neck and clung tightly to him.

To her surprise, she felt something stir inside her.

With a blush creeping up her face, she stepped back. She had to shake off the feeling and remember what he had done to her.

Fine! Ella raised her head, and tiptoed, bringing her mouth close to his ear, "No, I will torture her and let her make you a cuckold. There's nothing you can do about it. I will make you a cuckolded professional!"

A cuckolded professional?

Samuel moved forward and kissed Ella, which was a shock to her.

Samuel became a lecher after a few years.

But it was not her problem anymore, they had divorced.

Ella pushed him away, "You are my ex-husband, behave yourself!" Ella spoke out and then lifted her skirt and walked towards the bar, where the light was much brighter compared to the dancing area.

She grabbed a glass of wine and took a sip to suppress her panic.

Watching her walk away, Samuel licked his lips and recalled her warning words. Interesting!

The music died down, indicating that the first session, ballroom dancing, was ending.

The lights in the hall became brighter, and everyone began talking and laughing again.

Ella closed her eyes and pretended that nothing had happened.

Joseph and Amber sang a love song together, as the next session of the evening. Their performance encapsulated the ambiance in the hall.

Eden finally found Ella, and lowered his voice, "Hey, are you still involved with your ex-husband? Stay away from him. Associating with him will only hurt your image henceforth. Stop getting excited about him."

Ella looked around the hall and saw Samuel and Catherine talking and laughing, a few popular female stars surrounding them.

"I'm not. Anyway, why is Samuel here?"

Even if he was counsel for Star Entertainment Company, it didn't make sense that he attended the party.

Eden also noticed that quite a few people were hurdled in conversation with Samuel.

"I will find out why."

They had just arrived from America that day, therefore didn't have the low-down about a lot of things.

Ella stopped Eden, "There is no need to do that. I'm not interested in knowing why he is here."

She just wanted to finish the play and leave.

As for Samuel, he had fiancee now. It was better not to have any contact with him.

Samuel was not stupid. Ella didn't want to run the risk of Samuel finding out about Jane.

However, Ella vowed to kick Catherine and Emma's ass.

Eden led Ella to propose a toast to the director and producer.

Coerced by Lola, Harry had a word with the director, instructing him to look out for Ella.

So when the director saw Ella, his attitude was fairly good.

The person in charge introduced them to each other. Ella was on her best behavior and walked to the stage and greeted everyone.

It was common knowledge that Samuel was an investor of the play.

However, Samuel had instructed the person in charge not to mention this fact.

So Ella had no idea that Samuel was an investor.

It was a big shock for her to see him there.

Many stars would be present at this kind of parties, but the events were always similar in nature, and soon people got bored. Therefore, it was no surprise that when the cruise ship was pulled in to shore an hour later, people started to leaving.

Ella, hand in hand with Eden, said goodbye to the director and Joseph, and left.

When Ella got off the cruise ship, a gust of cold wind made her shiver. Her dress was strapless, therefore her arms were exposed.

Eden removed his black suit jacket and placed it around Ella's shoulders.

"Aren't you feeling cold as well?"

Ella was about to return the jacket, but Eden stopped her.

He looked at Ella and responded, "No. Keep it on. We don't want you catching a cold."

Ella shivered again while staring at Eden.

"Oh stop it, you just worry about my fitness to carry on working."

Ella spoke, but she welcomed the warm embrace of the coat.

"It's my job to make sure that you are healthy and ready to fulfill your contract."

Ella agreed, and they walked on, arms interlinked.

"Will you come to my house?"

Ella slowed down when she heard a familiar woman's voice behind her.

"Okay."

The man replied without a second thought, placing his arm around the woman's waist and holding her tight.

Catherine forced a smile and gazed at Samuel, who held her close.

He never behaved like this. Catherine had a feeling that his behavior had something to do with Ella.

Ella's eyes glinted when she saw a familiar figure standing beside a Maserati.

Leaving Eden aside, she ran to the man.

"Yang!"

She paused before Yang, with excitement and joy filling her heart.

Yang rubbed his eyes, to make sure that her wasn't hallucinating.

Ella?

Ella hugged Yang happily, "Yang, I've missed you so much."

She lost contact with Yang during the four years that she was abroad. She had not expected to see him here.

Yang giggled, "Ella, where have you been?"

It had been several years since he had seen Ella. They had lost contact with each other, and he thought she had disappeared.

"I...

"Ella, come back here. You need to behave yourself because we are off the cruise ship."

Eden pulled her back from Yang's arms and discreetly checked if there were any cameras around.
