Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 170

Samuel lowered his voice unconsciously. He was trying to pacify her,"Ella, I mean no harm. I just want to remind you that without solid evidence, your words will be nothing but Catherine's weapon against you. She could accuse you easily!"

"Okay, those two cases aside, there is also enough reason for me to revenge on them, as they have framed me so many times before!" Ella wiped her tears away and thought, 'You didn't need to cry. It is a waste to cry for Samuel if he doesn't trust you!'

Samuel thought Ella was just upset, so he replied,"Ella, do you know what you did has already harmed Emma and Catherine? Word has it Catherine is about to commit suicide and Emma... She is suffering more than her sister."

"That's enough, Samuel. You said they are suffering. How about me? Didn't I suffer? When I was framed, you believed not a word I said. I was totally helpless. Have you ever cared? Have you ever experienced what I have experienced?" Ella couldn't tolerate his words any more, for Samuel always thought in Emma's and Catherine's favor, never hers. He had never been on her side.

Ella's unreconciled answer made Samuel pinch his glabella, wondering if she was talking about what had happened four years earlier. Had he really misunderstood her?

But before figuring that out, he must solve the current problem first, so he asked,"Ella, who is using the account named 'Ella'?" It was unlikely to be Ella's account, Samuel thought, because it could be easily associated with Ella. His ex-wife wouldn't have done such a silly thing! Someone might be trying to frame her.

But to Samuel's surprise, Ella admitted,"What's your opinion? Isn't it like my account? Who else could be 'Ella'? Huh?" Her acknowledgement, though somehow satirical, made Samuel crazy.

"Ella, before you make the next move, let me handle it and then you can..."

"Shut up, Samuel! If you ask someone to delete those video clips, I will be your lifetime enemy," interrupted Ella furiously. Then she hung up the phone. She didn't want to see or hear from him ever again.

He didn't trust her at all, the same as four years earlier.

Her tears streamed down her face in torrents.

Meanwhile, Samuel called her again, but she didn't pick up the call. She switched off the phone.

She missed her children, Jane and Jerry.

Thinking about her children, she curled on the sofa, wondering if she shouldn't have returned to C Country jail.

It was a bad idea to meet Samuel and let him do what he wanted. 'Ella, don't you remember how he treated you before!' she asked herself. She seemed to have never learnt her lesson.

During the next few days, Samuel met Harry and Eason. He asked them to send someone to find the person who had kidnapped Ella four years earlier.

He also visited Amber repeatedly in the jail.

However, Amber had been attacked and tortured to near death by an insider and thus had lost consciousness two days earlier. Samuel had no choice but to bail her out after his latest visit.

Amber was then sent to the ICU in Chuck's hospital and protected by several bodyguards.

Scandals about Emma and Catherine spread fast online, because Ella didn't stop her revenge, even after Samuel's warnings.

Half a month later, Catherine couldn't stand netizens' abuse or accusation anymore, so she locked herself away in her house.

She called Samuel from time to time, begging him to stop Ella.

Emma, unfortunately, broke down completely. Felix, not wishing to be affected by her scandal, dismissed her from the company.

He also explained that their relationship was just a deal: he paid for her sexual services and she got money for it.

Drake got mad when he got to know that Emma had been harassed and raped by Felix even after she had become his girlfriend.

Drake flew to America, wanting to take revenge on that bastard.

On the other hand, when all the filming was complete, Ella saw a piece of news online, saying Emma's boyfriend had hacked Felix to death.

Drake was imprisoned, and later, Emma was sent to hospital by Elaine and diagnosed with mild-intermittent psychosis.

Later, Ella took Jane abroad and left Samuel once again.

She told everyone about her departure, except Samuel, who was busy sorting out the mess. By the time Samuel knew about it, she had already been away for one week.

Far away in America, Ella devoted herself to her career as a superstar, and her movie Prince Jin's Favorite Concubine was a real hit in China.

The movie sold well even though the lead actress was replaced, and Ella's character also became a classic to a lot of people.

It seemed everything was all right now, yet the truth was that nobody had let it go.

Emma now suffered from mild-intermittent psychosis, so Ella stopped her revenge until she figured out who had framed her in the latest case. But Catherine, who was in a relatively better state now, would never miss an opportunity to grind down over her sister.

She didn't give up. Though she stayed at home every day and begged Samuel to rescue her, Catherine did everything she could to destroy Ella.

Whenever Emma saw Ella's face on television or the phone, she got mad.

Though she had no idea in the beginning who had posted her pictures with Felix, she knew the person who posted those video clips was an account who's user name was "Ella". That must be Ella Bo.

And the person who posted the pictures must also be Ella.

Therefore, Emma kept looking for a chance to destroy Ella, and Melody too.

If it wasn't for Melody, she wouldn't have needed to seek financial help from Felix or Drake.

If it wasn't for Ella, she wouldn't have needed to shoulder all the blame and disdain from her friends, netizens or media.

The public also got to know Samuel because of the war between Ella, Catherine and Emma. Due to a variety of news, good and bad, Samuel was becoming a popular household name.

That made him much busier, as more people requested him, a competent lawyer, for help. He needed to complete his work, represent his clients in court, do the investigation and guarantee Amber's safety.

He worked far into the night every day when everybody was asleep. In fact, he usually stayed awake till 2 a.m in the morning.

Sometimes, he missed Jerry, and sometimes he missed Ella, who had left him again without a word.

He checked her video clips online, thousands of times. He also dialled her number many times, but never made the call.

Ella became maturer and prettier, probably because her company's strategy to make her a sexy beauty suited her well.

Whenever she was in front of the public, she wore either cardinal or scarlet lipstick.

And she was accompanied by different men; a company president in an awarding ceremony or a silver-spoon young man at a party.

As a result, three months after Ella's departure, Samuel couldn't restrain himself and bought a flight ticket to Los Angeles.

Ella, likewise, couldn't help but think about Samuel late at night, even though he had irritated her on numerous occasions.

To hide her feelings, she went to different places with different men intentionally, just to provoke Samuel.

But she doubted if he would pay attention to the news about her. Recalling his distrust, Ella thought she was silly, because it was she who always tried to restore their relationship, while Samuel never treasured it.
