Samuel answered her without hesitation, "Then she will not have my trust her whole life, and I will not have further contact with her in the future." As long as he figured out who lied to him, he wouldn"t contact with him or her anymore.
Ella shuddered with chills at Samuel"s suddenly serious tone. What should she do? What could she do? Should she tell him what happened that night?
No she should not, or else Samuel would think less of her.
Ella breathed in deeply. Armored with all her former acting talents, she raised her head again, giggled and asked, "What if I lied to you?"
She almost suffocated in anxiety but still forced a naughty smile.
Samuel listened to her. What if she lied to him? He thought for a while. "It depends. If it"s not serious, then..." He whispered a few words to her ear. Ella laughed with shyness. Samuel was flirting her again!
"What if it was serious?" She asked. Climbing into his bed, bearing his baby and marrying him... It was actually serious...
Samuel looked her into the eye since she stuck to the topic. "Have you hid anything from me?" Did she do something to Emma?
"Of course not!"
Ella stood up straight, pretending a righteous look on her face.
Samuel could not help but laugh at her response, "If it was serious… just think about what will happen meeting a top lawyer in court." He spoke casually, for he had never thought of what he would do if she cheated on him.
It reminded Ella of the phrase online, "If you are in love with a lawyer, be prepared to lose everything including your underpants when you divorce."
...
She started to panic, holding Samuel"s waist tightly. Should she confess?
Maybe it was a good idea to tell him everything. After all, leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist? "Sam, I…"
When she just began, Samuel"s phone buzzed. Ella had to stop and wait.
"h.e.l.lo, Mr w.a.n.g." Samuel answered the phone,
"You"re my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years pa.s.sed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
ire in her body.
She grabbed the recorder from Catherine"s hand and slammed it against the wall. The recorder broke.
Catherine was supposed to be angry, but she held her temper at the thought that Samuel had already heard it.
Samuel just watched the scene and kept silent.
Ella stared at Catherine and then Emma, "You played hard to gang up to set me up."
"What are you talking about? The evidence is in front of you. There"s nothing you can argue about." Catherine lowered her head to pick up the broken recorder on the ground so she could hide her feelings.
Emma also a.s.sisted her at the right time, "Sam, is it worth to protect such a calculating woman?"
After hearing that, Ella smiled faintly. She looked at the man who had no expression on his face, and walked over.
She only cared about his opinion now, and nothing else mattered. "Sam, do you believe me?"
The room was quiet again. Everyone was waiting for Samuel"s reply.
"You asked me today what would happen if you deceived me. Were you referring to this?" He has always believed in evidence, and now Catherine brought evidence...
Did he mean to believe the two sisters? Ella felt her heart ache.
She really wanted to fly into a temper, but the man in front of her was Sam, she could not...
