Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 169

"I don't have it anymore." Emma was stunned, wondering what Catherine was going to do with the video?

What she said was indeed the truth, because Samuel had smashed the phone that had the video.

Catherine, however, thought that Emma's unwillingness to give her the phone was due to her engagement to Samuel.

"Sister, I know you are still angry with me, but I really need the video at this moment. I will explain everything to you some other day," said Catherine in a soft voice.

Ella hurled insults at her on the Internet and she was going to use the video to ruin Ella's life!

"But it isn't in my hands. Samuel took it away when he discovered it,"

"Sister, the video would be a great help to me, considering what Ella has done to me..."

"Catherine, I really don't have it, believe it or not." said Emma, hanging up the phone angrily.

Catherine merited a new judgment.

When Emma hung up the phone, Catherine became extremely annoyed.

'Emma, it was you who refused to help me out, so don't blame me for being ruthless, ' Catherine thought.

She reopened her Weibo App only to receive a myriad of insulting private messages.

'A shameless third woman, go to hell!'

'I really cannot imagine how a brazen woman like you has the courage to live!'

'Disgusting and wicked, you'd better get out of the legal profession.'

……

Catherine quickly went to check Ella's Weibo page, mad at what Ella had said.

'Emma, Ella, all of you go to hell!'

The incident had gone on for days on the Internet, causing many customers to call Catherine to ask what was going on. Some made it clear that she would lose their business if she was really a mistress.

Many of her colleagues were pointing fingers at her.

All thanks to Ella, she became a well-known third woman!

Three days after the incident that kept simmering, Catherine was thinking in the office about how to retaliate against Ella. Something else happened on the Internet brought a smile to Catherine's face.

A Weibo account of the user, Xiaocao, posted a set of photos that went viral on the social media platform.

The photos were of Emma, and there was a man in one of the photos.

In the pictures, the two were blurred around the body, but their faces were clear. People could tell that the man was Felix Fei, CEO of the company Emma had worked with.

The set of pictures were titled "Channel's CEO Felix Fei messes with director Emma."

When she saw it, the post had been forwarded hundreds of thousands of times, and the number of comments was as high as one million.

She had smiled contently.

Thank Goodness! Emma, Ella, I will just sit back and watch you fight, waiting for the right moment to exploit the conflicts to my advantage.

Six hours later, after the release of the clip, another Weibo account, the user named Ella, published a video that indicated Channel's Director Emma had an affair with Samuel Law Firm's Drake.

In this video, Emma and Drake kissed in front of the window of the office, and then a curtain concealed them. Drake came out of Emma's office after a long time.

Everyone could figure out what was happening in the office.

In less than ten hours, the two Weibo videos became the top trends. #CatherineIsAThirdWoman followed.

News about the photos had made headlines.

The Channel offices were besieged by reporters, as well as at the entrance of Samuel's Law Firm there were many reporters waiting for Drake to appear.

Ella was dumbfounded by the second video. She was sitting in the dressing room.

Emma's private life was complicated. Drake was a lawyer of Samuel's company, thought Ella. Ella had always considered his name Rake, but it turned out to be Drake.

Oh! I have seen this person in grandmother's birthday party! She almost forgot this.

In the comment area, Emma had been billed by netizens as "office lady."

Many were asking 'Miss. Gu, how much do you charge for one night?'

'What a wanton woman! You must be good in bed!.'

……

Later, another reporter broke the news that Catherine is Emma's cousin, not her sister. The two sisters had more than their share of insults in the coming days.

But something was wrong. Ella felt something strange.

Why was the user of the account named "Ella"? Was someone trying to frame her?

The first indecent photo was produced by her, but the video had nothing to do with her.

Her phone rang. It was Samuel.

Why was he calling? To interrogate her? She remembered that Samuel had seen the video involving Emma and Felix Fei.

"Mr. Shao, hello!" She picked up the phone and said politely.

"Do you intend to ruin Emma's life after ruining Catherine's?" Samuel cut to the chase.

However, he said in a light voice, holding back his emotions.

Ruin Catherine's and Emma's lives? Well, she had an idea.

"Yes, but the second video was not from me."

"Ella, can you tell me what they have done to make you want to ruin their reputation?" Samuel's words were tainted with anger.

Sensing his outrage, she excused Eden and told him to leave. She closed the door of the dressing room behind him.

"Four years ago, Catherine and Emma framed me many times including the one that you assumed that I had been raped. One of them must be responsible for it, and..."

"Ella, you have no evidence! Don't talk nonsense!"

This time, Ella was sure he had lost his temper.

She sneered and spoke against his will," Mr. Shao, one of them was definitely the mastermind behind the plan to abduct me. These things provided enough reasons for revenge!"

Samuel, in a fit of anger, did not think too much about the last thing she mentioned," Ella, stop it now."

He would not blame her if she obeyed.

"Stop?" Ella was too furious to say another word. Tears were welling up in her eyes. She looked up at the ceiling in case her tears started falling.

Ella had no idea why she was crying, perhaps because she felt she had been wronged.

"Well, about those two cases, I'll ask my people to investigate. As for Amber, I'll go see her tomorrow." If it was true that one of the sisters had had something to do with anything, he would not let them go scot-free.

However, there was no evidence.

As a professional lawyer, he was convinced that he had to act on evidence only.

"No, Mr. Shao, mind your own business. If you want to defend the sisters, then we have nothing to talk about. Goodbye!"

Samuel clearly sensed her choking voice and wondered why she was crying.
