Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 166

Amber's mindset was she wanted the verdict to come early so she could be put to death and the nightmare to be over.

Ella glanced around the room and saw a camera behind her.

Moving her position to block the camera, Ella took out a thick wad of cash from her bag and gave it to the two policewomen, "Please give us a few minutes."

Since there was a camera on the wall behind Ella, if Ella even moved slightly, their interaction would be clearly photographed. The two policewomen flatly refused the money.

"Sorry, we can't accept any bribes." In fact, it is only them who knew if they had ever been bribed.

Suddenly, when Ella was in that dilemma, someone outside called out, "Everyone gather here at once! ."

The two policewomen immediately put the cash in their pockets then, looked at Ella harshly, "You better hurry up. We'll be right back."

"Thank you, thank you very much." Ella was not relieved until she saw them close the door.

She walked back towards Amber, "I know you have a reason for why you did it."

Her first words made Amber unable to stay calm. Amber opened her eyes and looked at Ella in shock. How did Ella know?

At this moment, there was slight movement outside the door.

Ella listened carefully and thought that someone seemed to be approaching to eavesdrop, so she changed the topic.

"Are you all right here?" Ella took Amber's small hand. Several of her fingers were broken. Amber closed her eyes in pain without crying out.

Ella could hardly see the tears in her eyes. She couldn't help wondering what could have caused a top actress to fall into such misery within a few days.

Amber wanted to take back her hand, since she didn't need anyone to sympathise with her. But her hands couldn't move, so she had to let Ella hold her.

Ella would't give up, although she didn't get an answer.

"Amber, why did you do that to me?" Her fingers gently wrote the question silently on Amber's palm.

The only answer was silence.

"I hate you, Amber. If Samuel hadn't arrived, I would have been violated." What Ella was talking about was no secret.

"Amber, the verdict is coming soon.

I used to love Samuel before, and then I was with him later. Although I was a bit excessive at that time, it didn't matter. The point was that I was with someone I like. I was really very happy at that time. Do you know how happy I was when we had a child of our own?"

When it came to this, Ella suddenly paused because Amber's index finger was moving.

After a pause of about three seconds, she continued, "Even if he didn't love me at the time, even if we had a lot of problems later, even if we were divorced, I was satisfied with having such a beautiful memory. Amber, do you have anyone you like?"

Amber finally spoke in a low voice, "I love Samuel. Will you give him up for me?" Her eyes welled up with tears, leaving Ella feeling more distressed than before.

"The verdict is coming. Even if I'm willing to give him up, what's the point?" Ella's words made Amber raise her index finger again and draw the phonetic alphabet, which made Ella tremble.

"Then you can go now!" Amber then closed her eyes again.

Ella was the only one who knew her fear. Amber was so frightened that her whole body was shaking.

"Well, I'm leaving, Amber. Don't like Samuel in your next life. He is a scum of a man."

The prison door opened and Ella was stunned when a man came in.

'Touch, pinch, and you will be defiled'. Secretly scolding Samuel several times, Ella was finally caught in his presence this time.

"You've been naughty again." The man's faint words made Amber open her eyes and experience the scene unfolding in front of her.

Ella was embarrassed. She was trying to persuade Amber to forget about Samuel.

Samuel took Ella into his arms and walked out of the room. He did not glance at Amber on the bed.

The door of the room was closed and Amber wept. She had to give up, nothing good came out of loving him.

More importantly, should she believe Ella?

The Cadillac slowly started to move.

Ella sat silent, with a heavy expression on her face, something Samuel had rarely seen.

It seemed that Amber had told Ella something.

"Tell me about your conversation." This was something that couldn't be solved by Ella alone. The culprit was thoughtful and left no clue.

Ella was outwitted by her wily opponent.

Still Samuel did't know who the culprit was. He was not sure whether he could find out. But at the very least, he couldn't allow Ella to bear it alone.

Ella thought again and shook her head, "Amber just told me that she didn't really mean to hurt me."

It was not that she didn't want to tell Samuel the truth. The only reason was that Amber only gave her a surname and she wasn't sure who it was.

Was it Emma or Catherine?

If it was Emma, she had something else to deal with. If it was Catherine... Was that woman really not doing anything wrong, or was she good at hiding her actions well?

But whether Catherine or Emma did it, she wouldn't let any of them get off that easily.

"Ella..."

"Samuel, could you help me ensure the safety of Amber?"

Ella interrupted Samuel, just as he spoke.

Her words made Samuel frown, but at last he nodded in agreement.

"Ella, I don't want you to conceal information from me, just tell me the one you suspect!" He wouldn't let her face it alone.

Amber's family had been under surveillance for several days and no suspicious behaviours had been detected.

"Amber didn't tell me who was behind it, and I don't suspect anyone." Ella refused completely to tell him because she was afraid that Samuel would be soft on them if he knew it was one of the sisters.

Samuel knew she wouldn't say it, so he didn't ask again, instead he took her for dinner.

At Samuel's Law Firm, In the office of Miss. Gu.

It was almost the end of the working day, and Catherine was sitting in her seat, listening to the report from the other end of the line.

"Very well, " she said at last, "Kill her before the verdict is decided.

What did they talk about?"

"Money is not an issue. I'll send five million to you later. You should break through all the key links and deal with all the trouble."

Samuel sent people to investigate the matter very rigorously, they did not even miss any minuscule clue. If she hadn't acted fast, some vital information would have come to light.

She also knew what a terrible situation she was in. It had become a secret struggle between her and Samuel.

It seemed that Samuel had no upper hand, but it was because she had obliterated all the evidence.

Once Samuel found evidence about what she had done, she would soon be finished.

So the best way to solve all her problems was to kill Amber.

After hanging up, Catherine deleted records of all suspicious calls. Any evidence that might lead to her needed to be dealt with.

At the Royal Mansion, Samuel went to park the car in the garage and Ella walked towards the villa door, albeit bored.

She inadvertently noticed that the lock on the door to the villa was still the fingerprint lock just like before. Nothing had changed.
