Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 179

If Samuel behaved himself, she wouldn't be angry, and she would certainly drink less.

If he did not, alcohol would be a necessity. She needed to use alcohol to numb herself at times.

The man opposite her didn't think that way. Her saying that "We will see" meant to him that it depended on the situation at that moment.

"If you don't behave, I will still do the things that I have told you i will do."

Huh? The woman looked at him at a loss and felt confused. He had threatened to do numerous things and Ella didn't know what he was referring to now.

"I will end your career in the entertainment industry." He warned, with no hint of joking in his eyes.

...

"I..."

"Ella!" Another voice interrupted and broke the tension between them.

Thanks to Samuel, she hadn't even worn a mask or glasses before leaving the apartment. It wasn't surprising that someone would recognise her. But the voice sounded so familiar.

When they looked up, Ella's eyes widened while Samuel's became darker.

"Sum!" What a coincidence! Ella stood up from the chair excitedly at the sight of her old friend. It's a small world indeed.

Ella and Sum happily hugged, and Samuel and Sum simply shook hands.

"I've been in America for two years." Sum smiled and explained to her.

From Sum's smile, Ella saw a different person. His smile was bright and his body radiated joy and calmness.

Samuel held Ella's hand which was on the table. She couldn't help looking at him, and found his eyes glistening with displeasure.

Ella took back her hand and smiled at Sum, "I've been here for two years also."

"I know." Sum took in every detail of what was happening, but his expression remained stolid.

"Did you come here alone?" Samuel's eyes were filled with anger. Ella had to think about every word before saying it.

Sum smiled and shook his head from side to side. At that moment, a tall strong blonde man came to Sum's side.

He spoke to Sum, which made Ella's eyes grow wider in shock.

"Dear, the bill is paid already, let's go." Looking at Sum, the foreign man had exotic eyes that were clearly filled with love and affection. Ella understood the expression in his eyes because Samuel sometimes looked at her like that.

"There is no need to hurry Alan, let me introduce you. This is my friend Ella, and this is her... husband, Samuel... ehh.. Mr. Shao." When introducing Samuel, Sum hesitated a little, but still introduced him in accordance with his understanding.

"How are you? It's very good to meet you." The foreign man was warm, and gave Ella a hug.

And then he shook hands with Samuel.

"Ella, Mr. Shao, this is my boyfriend. His name is Alan."

'Cough!' After hearing Sum's introduction, Ella choked because of her saliva.

And Samuel was surprised too, but he quickly regain his composure, with a satisfied smile plastered on his face.

Looking at Ella, who was coughing badly, he handed her a glass of water, "Dear, drink some water, you will feel better."

Ella was still shocked by the news that Sum had just told them and didn't hear Samuel's words. She felt much better after drinking quite a bit of water.

"Sum... I..." Ella was trying to make sure that she had not misheard.

An inexplicable emotion appeared on Sum's eyes but vanished quickly. He nodded and held Alan's hand, "Yes, Ella, our wedding will be in November, and I will send you the details if you want to come."
