"Mr. Fuller, the people in your organisation are incompetent. I have spent tens of millions on you, and this is what I get in return?" Catherine was mad, wondering how she could have hired someone as stupid as Abbot Fuller.
When Abbot Fuller heard her remark about his organisation, he was displeased, "Miss Gu, if you see it that way, let's end it here. Please find a non-stupid organisation to help you." As soon as he had finished speaking, he rose from the sofa and walked away.
Catherine gritted her teeth as she watched Abbot Fuller leave. She could not help asking herself why everyone was unreliable.
Even if the partnership had ended, she didn't believe she could kill Ella without his help.
At The Royal Mansion.
Ella walked back into the villa from the hospital. Chuck handled the follow-up checkup, and told her that her wound were healing well.
She knew Samuel would be back either that day or the next, so she sent Jane to kindergarten in the morning. Then she called Anna and asked her to pick Jane from school in the afternoon.
At noon, Ella received a message from Molly on WeChat. The message read, "Ella, we will arrive in C Country this evening. Are you free to have dinner with us?"
Ella had known Molly was working as Samuel's assistant before she went to America.
When Molly sent Ella this WeChat message, she thought Samuel had requested her to tell Ella about their arrival in C Country this evening.
In fact, Samuel intended to surprise Ella, so he didn't tell her.
Ella replied to Molly, "Ok, what time will it be? I'll pick you up."
Molly replied to her later, "We will be in C Country around five o 'clock, but we have to go back to the office first."
Would they go back to work first? Ella thought for a while and replied, "Ok, I'll come to the office and find you there. See you soon!"
After talking to Molly, Ella proceeded to fold their laundry and put the clothes away in their wardrobes.
At six o 'clock, Ella sent Molly a WeChat message again, "Have you arrived at the office?"
Molly didn't reply until half past six, "We'll be right there. There's a traffic jam. The client is still waiting for us at the office. Ella, if you're hungry, eat something first."
"It's all right. I'm not hungry. Don't worry, I can wait."
At 7:30, another hour or so later, Molly sent another WeChat message, "We'll be finished in about half an hour."
Ella, who was already dressed up, ran excitedly out of the villa and hailed for a taxi to take her to the office.
Ella smiled happily as she sat in the back of the taxi. She looked good that evening, wearing a figure-hugging dress, a new long camel-coloured trench coat and light make-up.
She remembered Samuel praising how good she looked with make-up. She could not help wondering if he would like how she looked that night.
Although Ella made an appointment with Molly for dinner, Ella kept thinking about Samuel.
After arriving at the door of Samuel's law office, Ella got out of the taxi. A cold breeze made her shiver, forcing her to wrap herself tightly with her new coat.
The dress she was wearing was from a catalogue from the spring collection, and Ella wore it for vanity reasons, and not its ability to keep her warm.
Fortunately, she was wearing white thermal underwear so it helped a little bit.
