Trapped with a Lawyer

"Mr. Fuller, the people in your organisation are incompetent. I have spent tens of millions on you, and this is what I get in return?" Catherine was mad, wondering how she could have hired someone as stupid as Abbot Fuller.

When Abbot Fuller heard her remark about his organisation, he was displeased, "Miss Gu, if you see it that way, let's end it here. Please find a non-stupid organisation to help you." As soon as he had finished speaking, he rose from the sofa and walked away.

Catherine gritted her teeth as she watched Abbot Fuller leave. She could not help asking herself why everyone was unreliable.

Even if the partnership had ended, she didn't believe she could kill Ella without his help.

At The Royal Mansion.

Ella walked back into the villa from the hospital. Chuck handled the follow-up checkup, and told her that her wound were healing well.

She knew Samuel would be back either that day or the next, so she sent Jane to kindergarten in the morning. Then she called Anna and asked her to pick Jane from school in the afternoon.

At noon, Ella received a message from Molly on WeChat. The message read, "Ella, we will arrive in C Country this evening. Are you free to have dinner with us?"

Ella had known Molly was working as Samuel's assistant before she went to America.

When Molly sent Ella this WeChat message, she thought Samuel had requested her to tell Ella about their arrival in C Country this evening.

In fact, Samuel intended to surprise Ella, so he didn't tell her.

Ella replied to Molly, "Ok, what time will it be? I'll pick you up."

Molly replied to her later, "We will be in C Country around five o'clock, but we have to go back to the office first."

Would they go back to work first? Ella thought for a while and replied, "Ok, I'll come to the office and find you there. See you soon!"

After talking to Molly, Ella proceeded to fold their laundry and put the clothes away in their wardrobes.

At six o'clock, Ella sent Molly a WeChat message again, "Have you arrived at the office?"

Molly didn't reply until half past six, "We'll be right there. There's a traffic jam. The client is still waiting for us at the office. Ella, if you're hungry, eat something first." "It's all right. I'm not hungry. Don't worry, I can wait."

At 7:30, another hour or so later, Molly sent another WeChat message, "We'll be finished in about half an hour."

Ella, who was already dressed up, ran excitedly out of the villa and hailed for a taxi to take her to the office.

Ella smiled happily as she sat in the back of the taxi. She looked good that evening, wearing a figure-hugging dress, a new long camel-coloured trench coat and light make-up. She remembered Samuel praising how good she looked with make-up. She could not help wondering if he would like how she looked that night.

Although Ella made an appointment with Molly for dinner, Ella kept thinking about Samuel.

After arriving at the door of Samuel's law office, Ella got out of the taxi. A cold breeze made her shiver, forcing her to wrap herself tightly with her new coat. The dress she was wearing was from a catalogue from the spring collection, and Ella wore it for vanity reasons, and not its ability to keep her warm. Fortunately, she was wearing white thermal underwear so it helped a little bit.

In the square, Ella looked up at the cloud-kissing towering law firm, beaming and proud of Samuel.

Even without mentioning Joseph in the entertainment industry, Samuel, Harry, Chuck and Eason, were the favourites in the upper-class community.

At a young age, they had built a huge career that the world envied, especially after starting a family in their thirties, they had already made it on the list of the world's richest people.

The bitterness and suffering that had moulded them was well-hidden under their glossy appearance.

She remembered when she was a teenager, she met Samuel when he was just starting his business.

At that time, Samuel was very talented in law, and with good luck, he received many requests when he started his business. This led to jealousy and envy from his peers, who even made people throw eggs at him in the street.

They called him a fool, and Samuel, who was covered with egg whites and yolk, stood calmly in front of his accusers and said a few words, "Thank you for the compliment."

Later, she often heard news about Samuel. She had heard from her brother that Samuel was working like a donkey, and suffered from pneumonia, gastritis and other diseases due to his long working hours. At first she thought that Samuel was a silly man, who did what he did for the sake of being rich, disregarding his health.

It was childish way of thinking. Perhaps because her parents had given her all the comforts and granted all her desires effortlessly. Therefore, she didn't understand human sufferings. It wasn't until four years ago, when she lost her parents and left Samuel, that she realised all the hardships of life.

This money-oriented society had a dark side to it also. Without money and power, if a person was unwilling to struggle, they were doomed to a mediocre life.

Had she not had a brother who loved her dearly, she would have starved to death on the streets of France.

A group of people walked out of Samuel's office, yanking her back from her reverie.

She looked at the time on her watch. It was almost nine o'clock.

Even standing in the crowd, Samuel was tall and handsome. His features were so distinct, that Ella could recognise him easily, even at night.

Ella could not help smiling. The cold of the night remained forgotten when she saw him, even her heart felt warm.

At this wonderful moment, she would have flung herself into Samuel's arms, holding him and giving him a sweet kiss.

Ella intended to do this, but as she noticed what was happening, she squinted her eyes with displeasure.

She stood there in high heels and watched Samuel walking to his car.

Samuel sent his assistant Yang away. It was a woman who got in the car with him.

Ella became jealous even though she knew that the woman might be his client.

She proceeded to walk towards them, her heels clicking when they came into contact with the glass floor of the square. Suddenly someone called her, "Ella!" Samuel immediately looked up.

Ella walked determinedly towards him, wearing a thin camel coat. He could even see her face in delicate light make-up.

So beautiful! Samuel savoured the sight for a second, then frowned and froze.

Suddenly, Samuel thought of the female client, and he felt terrible.

He immediately closed the driver's door and blocked Ella from seeing the woman. He then, hugged her tightly and asked, "My wife, why are you here?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
