Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 118

"Go and find a world-famous technician to recover the surveillance video from the hotel, and ask the people on duty in the hall for details. I need to know what happened."

Samuel hung up the phone and waved to Anna. He said in a relatively soft voice, "Put everything on hold for a while. I need to deal with something important first."

Anna nodded. Samuel then found Viola's phone number and called her.

"Mum, why on earth did you ask Ella out last night?"

Samuel's interrogation shocked Anna deeply, spiking her interest. She had never seen Samuel talk to Viola in this way. Viola must have given an answer that didn't sit well with Samuel because his response was in anger.

"She was kidnapped last night, didn't you notice? I told her not to leave the house, and despite how you always treat her, she went to dinner with you out of respect."

Ella was so silly. She knew Viola didn't like her, and always tried to avoid being anywhere near her.

If Viola hadn't been his mother, Ella would have treated her in the same way she treated Catherine and Emma, Samuel thought.

Anna became worried. Did something terrible happen to Ella? No wonder last night, he didn't wait for the company's car and left the airport immediately after a phone call he had received.

"Is it Emma? Was she involved?" Samuel asked pointedly.

"Viola, you are not only my mother, but also Ella's mother-in-law. Her parents died at the same time. Shouldn't you be kinder to her?" Samuel felt sorry for Ella, and the least she had expected her mother to do was to treat Ella like one of her own. But that wasn't the case.

"Don't explain. I am investigating the matter now. If I find out that either you or Emma were involved..." Samuel warned. Samuel recalled Ella's condition last night and he became even more infuriated.

He hang up the phone without another word and called Emma.

But before he got through to her, Samuel realised that Anna was still standing in front of him. He wasn't sure why she was still there.

So he hung up the phone, looked at Anna and said, "What do you want?"

Anna wanted to ask what had happened to Ella, but before she could say a word, Samuel's phone rang.

He looked at the number on the screen. It was a call from the villa, probably from Ella. He hesitated to answer the phone.

But when the phone rang again, he picked it up.

"Samuel." Ella called his name softly. Samuel closed his eyes bitterly and vowed that he would take revenge on whoever was involved in Ella's kidnapping and mistreatment.

"What's up? Is everything okay?" He tried his best to remain calm.

"I lose my phone, so I cannot reach Yang. He was badly beaten last night because he wanted to save me. I'm worried…"

Samuel now knew that the man in the hospital was Yang, Ella's friend. He was relieved to hear that he had come to her rescue.

"Don't worry. He is at No.3 People's Hospital. I will take you there after work, " Samuel interrupted her.

How could Samuel know this? Ella was bemused and wondered if Samuel was investigating what had happened.

"Samuel, about last night. We need to talk..."

"You don't need to worry about that. I'm investigating the matter and when I find out who did it, I will make them pay for it." Samuel interrupted her. He didn't want her to feel depressed because of this.

Hearing that Samuel would investigate it for her, Ella smiled sweetly and answered, "Okay. Call me after work. I will come to your office."

"You don't need to come here. Stay at home and I will pick you up." Before he found the culprit, he needed her to be safe. Lest, they decide to try again.

There was something unusual about Samuel, Ella thought, but she didn't know what the problem was.

After she hung up the phone, Ella sat there quietly. She was deep in thought, wondering why Sum had been in the same room last night. She didn't dare to tell Samuel this.

Nothing had happened, but she worried that if Samuel knew Sum was there, he might have gotten the wrong impression.

She would ask Sum when she got her new phone.
