Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 154

As she had not seen Jane for days, Ella held her tightly in her arms, unwilling to let her go.

They had a lot to catch up on. "Mom, Uncle Chuck speaks good English!"

In the United States, Jane and Sven were sent to a Chinese school where almost every student was Chinese.

Thus, the two kids spoke both fluent English and Chinese.

"Sure, Uncle Chuck is excellent! Did you have any quarrels with Sven?" Jane and Sven couldn't get along well with each other and sometimes they fought.

"He went either to the kindergarten or to the hospital every day and left me alone even when he came back home!" Jane sniffed.

Looking at Jane's angry face, Ella simmered with laughter and said, "Sven has outgrown this kind of squabbles."

Samuel's Law Firm.

The man stood in front of the window, enjoying the view of the night outside. He answered the phone.

"Is it possible that the wire snapped because they rubbed against the rocks?"

On hearing these words, he sneered.

"Did the police close the case in this perfunctory way?"

"Nothing else?"

"I got it." Samuel hang up the phone in anger.

Wires snapping because of friction? Who the hell would buy it? Besides, the wires had been destroyed without any clues left. The perpetrator seemed to be a powerful one.

He put on his coat, and went outside, with the car key in his hand.

He was going on a business trip tomorrow. He called Ella. "Hello."

A little girl answered the phone, which made Samuel feel confused. He frowned with suspicion.

Why was a child answering the phone? After all, it was after 8pm.

"Hello." He replied tentatively.

It seemed that it was papa. Jane was shocked and covered over her mouth right away.

She got out of bed briskly and gave Ella the phone, who was getting some water for her from the Kitchen.

Ella looked at the screen. It was Samuel! And Jane answered it!

OMG! Ella stood shocked.

Samuel's voice could be heard again, which compelled Ella to place the phone on her ear. "Mr. Shao, "

Her voice further aroused Samuel's suspicion.

"Where are you? Why did a little girl answer the phone?"

Ella thought fast and responded wisely, "I'm at my friend's house. That's her daughter." Her heart beat so fast that Samuel could have seen through her lie, if he had been standing in front of her.

It seemed her ruse worked. "Get out of your friend's house and come here now." said Samuel.

"No way!" She refused immediately since she would not leave Jane alone.

The man on the road frowned, unsatisfied with her refusal.

"Ella, do not piss me off!" 'Otherwise she couldn't bear the consequence'. He said this in his mind.

"Go to your fiancée, and never call me again!" Ella hung up the phone quickly and patted her breast to calm down.

Noticing Jane's big and confused eyes, Ella squatted down so that she could talk to her daughter face to face, "Jane, you can't answer mom's phone calls casually. Remember?"

If Samuel found out he had a daughter, he would definitely take her away.

She would never let it happen. When filming finished, she would leave Country C with Jane immediately.
