Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 178

Samuel thought Harry was just saying that. He did not give it much thought that Ella had left him for four years, just like Lola did. "What reaction? Well, you can tell me what's your secret to getting back together with Lola." After all they had gone through, Harry could still get Lola back. You had to hand it to Harry. He was indeed a resourceful man.

"Well, I just have a thick skin and I never give up." Harry was telling the truth. He was really not good at pursuing girls.

It's just as likely that Lola was moved by his persistence.

A thick skin? Persistence? It reminded Samuel about something Ella had said that morning. "How can you have such thick skin?"

Yes. He was thick-skinned enough to chase after her in America. But she was showing no interest in him up to now.

"Okay. Don't forget what I told you and start implementing it as soon as possible. I'm busy trying to finding the mastermind who framed her." Every time Samuel thought of Ella's safety, the idea of bringing her back to C Country became more and more ideal.

The mastermind? It reminded Harry that his ex-girlfriend was the cause of everything between him and Lola.

"You should keep your eyes open for people around you. Ella is very simple and innocent, just like Lola. She won't stir up trouble for herself. Watch out for people around you." The mastermind could be Emma or Catherine. It was possible.

What Harry said made Samuel get lost in thought.

He had investigated almost everyone except for one particular woman.

"Okay. I will do that right now."

After hanging up the phone, Samuel glanced at his contact list and called someone "Concentrate the investigation on Catherine."

"Yes. Investigate everything about her from four years ago. EVERYTHING."

"No problem. I will ask my secretary to send you the money."

"No thanks. Sorry for the trouble."

After ending the call, Samuel sat on the sofa and thought about Catherine's each and every move. Outwardly, she was clean from any suspicion but Samuel wasn't convinced.

It was almost 7:00 pm when Samuel switched off his phone and walked into the bedroom.

He was going to bestow on his sleeping beauty a passionate kiss to wake her up.

"Ella... Ella... Baby..." Samuel rubbed Ella's nose. She had to wake up.

"Samuel. You. Again! How can you still be here?" Her husky voice reminded Samuel what he had done that afternoon. He smiled slyly and responded.

"Get up. Let's go for dinner." It was not necessary to ask Ella to cook, because it was nearly 7:00 pm. He thought that he would restrain himself, and give her the opportunity to cook for him later on.

Ella turned over and said to the man sitting on the edge of the bed with a grunt "I don't want to go out for dinner."

She just wanted to sleep for approximately three days to relieve some of the tiredness.

But after bargaining for a while, Samuel pulled Ella out of bed. She left the apartment reluctantly.

She switched on her phone after getting in the Aston Martin. She got many call reminder messages, one after another.

There were so many messages which genuinely surprised Ella.

Most of the messages were from Eden, and the rest were from her grandma, advertisers and reporters.

She got over a hundred new messages. What was happening?

Her first reaction was to log onto Weibo, and find out what was the most searched hashtags.

When she saw the words in a bright red colour, her heart beat faster.

Samuel and Ella.

Every search for their names was connected to the most searched hashtags.

She cast a sidelong glance at Samuel who concentrated on driving, thinking that what had happened in the morning at the supermarket was on social media.

It was all over Weibo.

"Shit! You devil! You are just trouble, aren't you?"

She knew that Samuel intentionally exposed the shot of them kissing in the car and at the supermarket.

"Telling everyone straightforward that we are together. Why not?" Samuel understood what she was talking about and replied carelessly.

Straightforward?

"We are NOT together! Please go back to C Country right after this farewell dinner." Ella looked through the pictures taken by the reporters in the supermarket, irritably. They were kissing, holding hands and standing closely, looking like they loved each other very much.

Before Samuel came to America, she was below the radar in the news. Now that he was here, it was undeniable proof presented for everyone to see.

"Well? Why are you upset that they took the pictures of us?" He asked, blandly.

Ella opened her mouth, as if to protest. But she thought it was pointless.

It seemed that he would stay at her house tonight and would not leave.

"No, no, no. It's my pleasure to take pictures with you, Attorney Shao". In order to save herself from Samuel's badgering, Ella chose not to tell him the truth.

As expected, Samuel was satisfied with the answer and said "Good. Let me please you well tonight."

...

Helplessly, Ella leaned against the window with her hands on her forehead. "Mr. Shao, don't you think the pills are expensive?" she asked earnestly after a long time.

"What?" He was deep in thought.

"Oh, no... It's okay. You take Viagra as much as you need. You will be okay. Just take good care of your kidney." Ella said.

He was so good at sex that she thought he had taken Viagra? Ha ha......"Thank you for your compliment." Samuel said proudly.

How thick was his skin? She stared at him and continued to look through her Weibo profile. "Take Viagra as much as you need. You will be sorry for your impotence later " Ella said in a low voice.

...

Even though she said it in a low voice, Samuel heard it clearly.

Impotence?

"It's not going to happen."

...

'I will get even with you later for saying those words, ' Samuel said to himself.

Samuel found a restaurant that specialised in serving porridge after a long drive, but only ordered millet gruel and bland vegetables for Ella. This immediately led to her protest.

"I HATE millet gruel! So I will have Braised Fish in Brown Sauce, and Drunken Chicken..." Ella pointed to two meat dishes on the menu, and said to the waiter.

"No. We will have what I have ordered, and please make it two portions." Samuel stopped Ella with his hand and said to the waiter.

"Yes Sir. I'll be back with your order in a few minutes."

"Hey! Why are you so mean?" said Ella. She gnashed her teeth in anger, unconsciously.

Samuel put the water in front of her and looked expectantly at the dissatisfied girl and said "You can order anything you want after you stop drinking and after you have healed."

Remembering that she was taken to hospital because of a stomach ache, Ella cooled down a little bit. 'But you are to blame.' She murmured to herself.

"We will see." Ella spoke those two words, which although were vague, had a clear meaning. It all depended on whether Samuel behaved himself.
