Ella smirked and looked at Catherine's pale face, and coquettishly said,"It isn't clear since you never told me." Samuel behaved just as Ella anticipated, which proved her point to the people listening.
Samuel put down the files in his hands and leaned back against his chair. He sounded serious as he said,"Ella, I love you."
His voice sound soulful and attractive, which could be overwhelming for most women.
Some girls squealed and giggled amongst themselves,"Samuel sounds so infatuated and in love."
"I am totally enchanted by his voice."
...... Ella had never thought that Samuel would be so straightforward. She unconsciously blushed,"Okay, Bye!"
Samuel had already heard the squeal, but when he wanted to ask her what was going on, she cut hang up the phone.
Ella tried to calm herself as her heart was racing, and handed the phone to the person behind her. Then she poured the cold tea on Catherine's face.
"Ms. Gu, I hope the tea can wake you up to see the world clearly, lest you get paranoid and covet the husband of someone else." The tea leaves stuck to her hair and her face.
In shock, she watched as the liquid stained her expensive fur coat. Hearing the crowd laughing at her, her heart sank.
She wiped her face in a panic, suppressing an impulse to cry, and raised her hand to slap Ella.
Two women behind Ella came forward and stopped Catherine.
Polly came back to her senses, thinking that although she is a vain woman who is determined to be rich some day, She would never be a man's mistress and make herself ignoble. So she joined in the onslaught and slapped her daughter.
"Mum....." Catherine was shocked to see Polly in such bad temper. As her mom, she didn't help her, but chose to help others. Catherine was overwhelmed.
The slap made others despise her even more. Slapping her daughter, Polly was admitting that her daughter was a mistress, something she clearly didn't approve of.
Soon Catherine became known as the mistress who got involved in other people's marriage. Her reputation was ruined in C Country.
Her boss sent her an email informing her that she did not need to come to the office the following day after hearing what she had done from his wife.
After the farce ended, Emma, who hid in the crowd, looked at Ella bitterly. 'Well, here you are again, Ella. You ruined my reputation first, and now you are ruining my cousin's as well. You will pay for this. Samuel, you bastard, all of you will go to hell.'
That night, Ella went to the apartment that had been arranged for her by the company. Samuel didn't go to see her.
Ella felt bored before falling asleep. Then, Lola sent her a video recording of footage of what happened at the party.
She thought about it the whole night. At noon the following day, she sent the video to Samuel.
After watching the video, Samuel realised what was going when Ella called him.
The fact was that she was playing tricks on Catherine, and had used him to get her point across, that Catherine was his mistress and a home wrecker.
'What a naughty woman, ' Samuel thought.
He received another message from Ella. "Samuel, I hurt your woman, you can do whatever you want to do to retaliate against me."
But how? Did he dare to say anything? Or do anything?
He feared making her angry again. If she returned to the U.S, what he had done would all be in vain.
He just typed a few words and clicked reply.
