Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 100 Backfired

Samuel's calm demeanor made Eason restrain himself.

"Tell me, why are you two quarreling? Why are you bullying my sister?" Eason didn't plan on letting

Samuel off easy. He took a step forward and sat on Samuel's desk, facing his brother-in-law.

Samuel took another cigarette from the case and lit it.

"This is just regular banter between couples." Samuel's words made it seem like a simple interaction

between couples, making Eason feel that he was overreacting.

"If only it were that simple. If you ever give my sister grief because of that Emma, I will come after you."

Eason didn't want to bother them with his assumptions either.

Anna was the next person he needed to deal with.

Upon hearing Eason mention Emma, Samuel figured that Ella became difficult because of Emma.

"We'll deal with her." He vowed to both Eason and himself.

Eason pushed the card back, "Take this back. As her brother, I did what I had to do." He was giving the

money, not loaning it.

"No, take it. I'm completely capable of supporting my own wife." At Samuel's insistence, Eason relented

and took the card.

After talking to Samuel for a while, Eason walked out of the office with his arm around the girl he came

with.

At the assistant's area outside the office

Anna stared at the file on her desk in a daze. She had been in this position for a couple of minutes. It

wasn't until she heard movement from the door that she regained her consciousness.

Catching a glimpse of the couple walking out, she ducked her head and continued to mark the time and

make notes on the document she was working on.

No one would have predicted that Eason would deliberately stand in front of her and say, "Miss Anna, I

haven't seen you in a while. Did you keep my brother-in-law in line?" He gave Anna a leer as he held

onto the woman.

Anna continued looking at the file without even raising her head.

Eason was a little upset, "Are you listening to me?" He tapped the file three times to emphasize his

presence.

The two other assistants beside Anna were surprised at the scene.

"Um? I'm sorry, you are?" Anna raised her head, looking at Eason in bewilderment as if he was a

stranger.

Playing games, huh! Eason let go of the woman. He lifted Anna's chin with a grin, "You didn't ask me

who I was when we were in the hotel."

The three other women gave Anna a shocked look at his words.

Anna's mind went blank in an instant. She did not expect him to say that.

Gathering her wits, she pushed his hand away and said, "You must've mistaken me for someone else. I

don't know you at all." Anna continued feigning ignorance.

"Miss Anna is not only gorgeous, but also very skilled. You're the last person I'd forget!" Anna's face

instantly paled at Eason's crude words.

The two assistants started whispering furiously to each other. Anna took a deep breath, "Mr. Eason,

would you please leave? I'm working right now." As she spoke, she lowered her head and went back to

work, ignoring Eason again.

The beautiful girl beside Eason picked up on what was happening. Giving Anna a jealous glare, she

turned to Eason with a coy look, "Eason, didn't you say that you would take me to the mall? Let's go."

Restraining his anger, Eason put his arm around the girl's shoulder again, "I'll take you to the biggest

mall, then I'll book a hotel room for us!"

"Eason, you're so naughty!"

Anna almost puked at the girl's coquettish tone. Watching the two disappearing figures, Anna felt

relieved. But it was soon followed by stifling disappointment.

Before Eason stepped into the elevator, he took another glance at Anna.

Anna glared at him when their eyes met, before resuming her work.

Ella's hunger woke her up at 2 pm.

Rubbing her rumbling stomach, she washed her face. She went to the kitchen to make herself a bowl

of noddles.

After she finished her meal, an idea struck her. She googled a picture and sent it to Samuel on

WeChat.

Samuel was in a meeting. He didn't intend to read the message he got when his phone alerted him, but

he saw Ella's name on the phone.

As the picture appeared on the screen, he suddenly got up from his seat. Everyone else was startled.

"Resume the meeting, I'll be back in a few minutes." He walked out of the meeting room, looking livid.

Ella huddled up on the sofa. Samuel's call came through within two minutes after she sent the picture.

Putting on a serene smile, she tapped the green button, "Hey, Mr. Samuel. I haven't heard from you in

a while." Though her voice was unusually soft, his anger didn't diminish.

"Ella, you're really pissing me off!" Standing in front of the window and looking at the scenery outside,

Samuel looked ferocious as he spoke.

Ella sneered, "I'm not interested in giving birth to another baby for a womanizer!" The picture she sent

was a pack of contraceptive pills.

She was extremely delighted when she heard his angry outburst.

If Ella were standing in front of him, he might have pushed her out the window.

"Go head, take it. If you do, your son will find someone else to call mom." He could still threaten her

even if she wasn't with him.

As he anticipated, he heard Ella yell through the phone, "Samuel, you're such a terrible step-father!"

Step-father? "Ella, I believe no one would know the identity of Jerry's real father better than you! He

was certain of it.

When Ella was pregnant with Jerry, Samuel was the only man in her heart. The more he thought about

it, the more he missed the old Ella.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

He was telling the truth. Ella was momentarily dumbfounded. "Forget the picture." Feeling upset, Ella

was about to hang up when Samuel added, "You'd better behave yourself. Otherwise..."

Ella hung up immediately.

Looking at his phone in disbelief, he resisted the urge to throw it.

He tried to calm his feelings of rage.

Ten minutes later, Samuel returned to the conference room. His face still looked terrible.

While everyone else was staring at him with shock, he pulled out his chair and threw himself on it.

Looking at Samuel's grave expression, Catherine assumed that Ella made him angry.

Tonight was the perfect opportunity for her to get close to him.

Beside Samuel, Anna spoke after everyone had given their reports, "Mr. Samuel, the Fang Group has

invited you and Miss Catherine to their anniversary party tonight."

"Hm." Samuel responded noncommittally.

"So..."

Samuel understood what Anna meant.

Thinking of Ella being difficult, he said, "Miss Catherine and I will attend the anniversary party together.

If you don't have anything else, this meeting is over."
