Catherine almost fainted when they pushed her to the ground. Samuel stood there angry whilst Ella was shocked. How could she forget that Samuel was on Catherine's side?
Standing less than a meter from Samuel, she worked up a nerve and shouted at him, "Samuel, if you are feeling sorry for Catherine, me and you are over!"
She pointed at Samuel, with the broken glass dripping with Catherine's blood still in her hand.
It was a deliberate provocation towards Samuel.
Without glancing at Catherine, Samuel puffed out a cloud of smoke, took the broken glass from her and threw it in the dustbin near them.
Then he put his arm around her shoulder and said to the rest, "Let's get out of here!"
Five couples left the nightclub in their limousines, Leaving Catherine sitting on the ground without anybody to care for her.
Ella, Ella, Ella... She kept calling Ella's name in anger, her face awash with pain. Later, she went to a private hospital.
Five women, sitting next to their men who were driving, continued to chat animatedly in their Wechat group.
Lola typed 'We have to teach Catherine a lesson again.'
The rest of the four agreed.
'I will hold a party in a couple of days. You all should join and we will humiliate her in public.'
The home wrecker was hated by everyone, so the idea sounded like a good one.
Later on, the Wechat group went silent.
They all got home and were busy handling their family issues.
At The Royal Mansion.
Samuel was on top of Ella who was lying in the sofa. He was like a wolf, staring at its prey and ready to eat her.
"It seems that Mr. Shao feels sorry for Catherine. Is that right?" Ella challenged him, with a determined expression on her face. She reached to push him away from her.
She might as well have told Samuel the truth that she would not let Catherine and Emma lead a peaceful life. She was determined to teach them a lesson, whenever she saw them.
She thought he was pissed off because he had said nothing. However, Ella knew that if he got angry because of what she did to Catherine, she would get cross with him.
"Samuel, why do you treat me like this? On one hand, you feel sorry for Catherine; on the other hand, you insist on chasing me persistently..."
Suddenly, Samuel kissed her lips, preventing her from talking further. He had missed kissing her and taking in her scent.
She always tantalised him, most of the time unknowingly, and he knew he would regret not taking advantage of her proximity. He always wanted to make love to her. whenever they were alone in a room.
His kiss was passionate and eager, and soon Ella gave in to the heat of the moment.
"Ella, since you are back, don't ever think about leaving me again."
Ella sensed the undertones of a conspiracy at work in his voice.
She suddenly remembered that there was no good reason for Harry to sign her to his company and that Lola had asked her to join rather ambiguously. Her intuition told her that it was Samuel who engineered the plan to make her come back and work at Harry's company.
