Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 104

They must be for her. Ella then changed into the new clothes. She looked around the room, but could not find her purse.

She remembered Sum bringing her purse into the room last night. Where is it now? Did Samuel take it?

Ella combed the room once again for the purse. She confirmed that it was no longer there. Then she turned to the door.

Once she opened the door, she was startled to find two men in black uniform standing right outside the room.

"Good morning, Mrs. Shao. Mr. Shao sent us to protect you. Would you please go back to the villa with us?"

To protect her? Ella frowned doubtfully. She still remembered what happened last time when Samuel had sent someone to protect her. She doubted that what Samuel really wanted was to keep her under surveillance and cut her communication with others!

"You don't have to protect me. I can manage on my own..."

"Mrs. Shao, here is what Mr. Shao told us. He wanted you to know that all your belongings from your apartment, along with your son, have been already sent to the villa. And you'd better come with us if you still want to see your son again."

Though it was not her fault, Ella was somehow feeling sorry for being kissed by Sum in front of Samuel last night. But not any more. When Samuel threatened her with her son and her freedom, all her guiltiness turned into a sudden outrage.

In the end, Ella had no choice but to go back to the villa under the escort of the two burly men.

Melody had left the villa soon just before they arrived. Two servants were playing with Jerry when Ella came in. Joy hurried towards Ella with Jerry in her arms as soon as she saw Ella walking in. And then she reported to Ella, "My Lady. Her Ladyship has just left. She had been waiting for you for nearly an hour."

Ella gave her a nod and said, "I'll call her later." Then Ella took her son from Joy.

She felt much better as soon as she saw her precious boy.

Then Ella called Melody and talked to her for almost half an hour.

In the afternoon, Ella was about to go out with her son when she was stopped by the bodyguards at the door.

Ella became furious. She decided to have a serious conversation with Samuel when he came back at night.

But to her surprise, Samuel didn't come home that night, or a few more nights that followed.

She tried to make a call to her phone with the telephone sets from the villa. But no matter how many times she dialed, her phone was always off.

From day to day, the only company she got in the villa was Jerry. And she couldn't even take him out.

Finally, Ella had run out of patience. She couldn't take it anymore. That day when Jerry was sleeping upstairs, Ella went downstairs to call Samuel.

Samuel had just come back from a business trip. He was in a meeting when his cellphone rang. Noticing the call was from the villa's landline, he picked it up. Hardly had he stepped out of the meeting room when almost everyone in the room heard the squeak from his phone, "Samuel! You damn asshole! Let me out of here!"

Casually, Samuel walked towards the window. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, put one in his mouth and lit it.

Were it not for the sound of his lighter, Ella would have thought that she was talking to a ghost.

"Did you hear me or not? You are a lawyer yourself. And you should know exactly what's coming to you if you keep on restricting my freedom!"

Samuel said nothing in return.

When Ella was finally done, she suddenly realized that she was simply punching the air since Samuel had been ignoring her for the whole time.

The situation irritated her. She then shouted out, "Divorce! Or I'll sue you!" She was throwing her tantrum while jumping up and down on the couch in fury.

Samuel then opened his mouth for the first time, "I'll wait for you in the court." Then he hung up without any hesitation.

Ella threw the phone back angrily. Then in rage, she smashed several vases in the living room as well.
