Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 217

Samuel had left for work, leaving without telling her.

She threw back the covers in disappointment. His actions annoyed her.

After showering, she walked downstairs to have a quick breakfast. Ella noticed that

Samuel had hired two new maids, for an unknown reason. From the way they address each other, Ella guessed that they might be aunt and nephew.

But she didn't think too much of it. She finished her breakfast, changed her shoes and left.

As soon as the door opened, the gentle old lady, who was her new maid stopped her, "My Lady, Mr. Shao has left a car key for you."

"Okay. Thank you." Ella surveyed the key, which seemed to be the key to his Audi. She approached the garage to find the car waiting for her.

'But what car did he use to go to work with?' She wondered.

But despite this gesture, she was still angry because he left without a word in the morning. Before she started the car, she messaged him.

"I'm angry at you. You are in so much trouble!"

But she got no reply at all, which left her speechless. She felt aggrieved that Samuel had broken his promise again. She was planning to go to her brother's place later on, to see her beautiful daughter.

She felt more and more aggrieved because she thought he had abandoned her. As a result, Ella had made up her mind not to go back to The Royal Mansion that night.

When she arrived at the filming site, she found many people staring at her oddly.

She didn't realise what had happened until some of her friends, gathered around.

"Ella, no wonder you're a superstar. You're so generous."

"Yeah. Impressive!"

"Thank you for your lucky money. We can have steaks today."

Lucky money?

What had happened? Ella was completely confused.

Last night when it was her turn to send a red envelope, Samuel had taken away her phone. He had used it for some time. Had Samuel sent a red envelope then?

She smiled, but reluctantly said, "You're welcome!" As she conversed with the others, Ella checked her chat history.

After quite some time, she finally saw the red envelopes sent from her account.

She counted ten envelopes that contained large sums of money.

Everyone was excited by her generosity. Sometimes some people would give a large sum too but not as she had at one go.

Well, she wasn't generous. But Samuel was.

It was just past noon when Ella, who was having lunch, got a reply from Samuel. 'Honey, I was held up in court and I just read your message. What's wrong?'

Ella sneered, but cooled down immediately.

She didn't reply, though. On the other hand, Samuel had just sent a message over lunch and soon after threw himself back to work.

Consequently, Ella didn't reply, nor did Samuel, which caused her anger to flare up again.

At dinner, Samuel suddenly remembered the message from his wife. He checked his phone, but there was no reply.

He called her, but Ella hung up.
