Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 47

"Yeah. Mr. Samuel, you don't seem to want to breathe a word about matters concerning your wife. Does this have something to do with Ms. Gu?"

...

Emma, who was next to Samuel, was completely silent. She was also expecting his answer now.

Samuel wouldn't even bother talking to the hateful media: " Why should I need to answer something out of thin air? The relationship between me and my wife is between only the two of us and it's our privacy. Your so-called media is openly and shamelessly snooping into others' privacy. Does this comply with your professional journalistic ethics?"

His reply further intensified the media's questions on the matter of his relationship to his wife.

"Mr. Samuel, are you red with anger since you are caught red-handed?"

"Yes, Mr. Samuel. Since you are a public figure, we're just asking the question out of a mutual concern."

Stopping before the car, he replied with calm: "I am a lawyer, not your wild entertainment! Please lay your attention on my work, and not on my life." Then he reached his car with his team, and then slowly rushed out of the crowd and left.

Not long after his leave, this video fired up on the internet and became viral.

All journalists bashed his actions and replies but didn't dare go too far with them, given his status of lawyer.

Netizens, however, gave strong support to his each and every move. They commented actively in the East Star News Official page.

"Mr. Samuel is right. He went to court for work and you journalists were clenching at his personal privacy. No professional ethics whatsoever!"

"I support Mr. Samuel to charge and drive into court all of these journalists!"

"To pick on a child that's only a few months old! Where are your ethics?"

"Good job, Mr. Samuel! That's rather impressive!"

"Samuel is so cool. I want to have a baby with him!"

...

Those journalists were trolled as being only good-for-nothing. All of them wanted to die when they read the comments.

Some journalists who had just reposted this news were also attacked by netizens. Therefore, they had to delete their microblogs.

Ella's Weibo was also dug out. She has never used Weibo since she quit the entertainment business.

It had been over a year since she had last used her weibo, but now it was dug up and tagged over and over again.

Netizens supporting Samuel made comments under her Weibo, wishing them happiness.

Ella was baffled because her cellphone was now ringing hundreds of thousands of times without end.

She eventually found out that it was because the long-ago closed Weibo account.

When she opened it again, she was surprised to see 999 private messages in her inbox. What happened?

Similar situations happened only when she was still an actress. Now that she had disappeared for over a year from the screen, what was the cause?

But by then she had already figured it out that, thanks to none-other than Samuel Shao, she was being tagged again on Weibo.

Many people sent her private messages. Most of them were blessings, while others were just insults and abuses.

She finally understood what had really happened only after seeing the viral video.

Samuel in the video was in a black suit and a white shirt, standing confidently before the cameras.

Beside him was Emma with a professional smile. She wore makeup to cover her red rashes on her face. She was listening to journalists' questions, wearing the same expression.

However, Samuel's face turned freezing cold when he heard someone mentioning his son. She had never seen Samuel's face like that before.

How immoral these journalists were with their indecent questions! It was so disgusting to pry into other people's privacy.
