Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 228

"Since Catherine hired five men for me last time, it's only fair if she gets five men as well." She didn't want to have Catherine tortured to death because it was better to leave her living in fear and shame.

Samuel gestured to the one of the bodyguards who then made a call.

Subsequently, another bodyguard brought in the pepper powder.

"Feed her hot pepper water." Samuel commanded in a calm voice and looked back down to his phone.

Hot pepper water? Hearing this, Ella's jaw-dropped.

She put the knife on the table and asked, "Why? Why hot pepper water?"

Samuel looked up, eyes brimming with affection.

"Catherine's allergic to pepper."

Although it had been a long time, Samuel still remembered this fact about her.

She said ironically, "Now you believe me?"

When the tape on her mouth was ripped off, she shouted at once, "Samuel, please let me go! I know I made a mistake and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please pardon me!"

Samuel sneered.

'Such a stupid woman. Couldn't she see Ella was the one that was calling the shots.' Samuel shook his head, ignored her pleas and said to Ella, "I'm sorry, honey. Forgive me?" He walked towards her, held her and kissed her.

At this display of affection, Catherine felt mute. As she scowled at the couple, without warning, the hot pepper water was shoved down her throat. Her mind went completely blank.

She wanted to breath but she couldn't. As more and more liquid poured down her throat, her entire body went numb.

At the moment, it was more comfortable to just die. She was desperately hoping someone would save her.

She felt she was on the brink of suffocation, with tears and snot all over her face. She couldn't speak or think.

Ella squirmed out of Samuel's embrace, wanting to see how Catherine was suffering. The bodyguard was still forcing-feeding her, showing no pity.

Seeing her face turning red, Ella could only imagine the pain she was going through.

After the two cups were empty, Ella asked the bodyguard to stop.

The bodyguard let go of Catherine, who looked down trodden and in anguish.

Ella panicked when she didn't move for a long while. Was she dead?

As she stepped closer to check, Catherine suddenly started to cough intensely, with hot pepper water spewing out of her nose and mouth.

Ella backed off to keep a distance from her.

As she persistently coughed, several burly men walked in.

Ella couldn't help but smile. Catherine was finally getting what she deserved. But then, she noticed that several of those men are actually quite macho. She wondered what they will do to Catherine.

All of sudden, Samuel embraced her, looking at his precious princess, face livid.

Ella smiled in embarrassment, shrugging her shoulders.

"What are you looking at?" Samuel's facial expression changed.

Seeing Samuel's grumpy face, Ella put her arms around his neck and said, "Just out of curiosity."

"Oh yeah, just out of curiosity?" With his palms on her waist, he held her tighter.

"All right. All right. I won't do that again." Ella yielded immediately. "I'm sorry, honey. Don't get mad."
