Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 110 Fool-Proof Plan

Ella relaxed, as the warm water engulfed her. After the night she had had, she welcomed the effects of

the water. Samuel was tormenting her and Ella didn't know why. Additionally, she didn't understand why

her body betrayed her on two occasions. It's like she was under his spell, unknowingly doing whatever

he wanted to her detriment.

"You see. You look relaxed now."

"Go away Samuel.

You've done nothing but frustrate me and hurt me for the past 12 hours..." Her words drifted off, as the

sandman called to her. Just when her voice trailed off, Samuel turned back and saw Ella closing her

eyes.

"Come on, you'll end up drowning."

Samuel dragged her out of the bath and wrapped her in a towel.

He dried off the water from her body and put a robe on her.

Her wet long hair splayed on his arms. Samuel lay her on the bed and put her hair on the edge of bed.

Drying her hair with a blow-dryer.

Ella didn't object to the pampering

As she couldn't keep her eyes open anyway.

Samuel wrapped her hair in a towel afterwards, And got in with her and slept.

Law Office of Mr. Shao.

With his briefcase in hand, Samuel walked in the office. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Good morning, Mr. Shao." the main receptionist, as well as others he met on his way, greeted him. His

response was a nod towards them.

Samuel walked into the elevator. Soon after the elevator door closed, his colleagues began to gossip.

"Did you see the mark on Mr. Shao's neck?" One co-worker asked another.

"Haha, yes I did. Kinky huh?"

The other co-worker responded.

"Very much saw. Remember last time when he came with two bite marks on his... " Another co-worker

stepped in.

A cough interrupted their gossip session, And they immediately scattered in all directions.

"Good morning, Miss. Gu." they all greeted in unison as they resumed their work.

Catherine went to the elevator without greeting any of her colleagues. If what she had overhead was

true, then her plan hadn't worked. She needed to consolidate her thoughts.

The Office Room

Walking into the office room, Catherine stopped when she saw a familiar figure inside.

"What are you doing here, Drake?" She glanced outside the room to see if there was anyone around,

then when she was satisfied that there was no-one, she closed the door.

Drake stood up calmly. "Catherine, I'm trying my best to disrupt Samuel and Ella's relationship. There is

some progress. But, now you need to keep you end of the bargain."

Catherine put her bag inside the cabinet, sat down and looked at Drake disdainfully. "What progress

are you talking about? If anything Samuel is more in love than before. How do you expect me to keep

my end of the deal, when Samuel is not with me?"

Catherine regretted hiring Drake, he couldn't even get the girl he loved, Emma.

Drake sat on Catherine's desk casually. "There's progress. It's you who isn't playing your part. You

need to make yourself available. It's not my fault if he isn't with you now. You just have to promise me

that Samuel will stay away from Emma."

"I'll tell you what Emma desires the most if you get the job done." Catherine put down the documents

she was holding and glanced at Drake slyly.

Without thinking, Drake nodded his head said "Tell me now." He was willing to do anything to get

Emma to love him.

He had a chance some years ago, but Samuel came into the picture and stole her away.

He never got another opportunity after that, but his love for her increased everyday.

Catherine continued to shuffle with the documents before her, ignoring Drake. "Please... " Drake

pleaded, and Catherine knew that he was desperate enough to do whatever she wanted.

"... what does Emma desire the most?" "Fine. It's simple, Money!" Catherine looked up and saw the

expression on Drake's face. She held back a laugh. Catherine knew that Drake came from a wealthy

family.

Drake was happy to hear that and simply jumped down from the desk. "Thank you, Miss. Gu."

"Don't be hurried! My condition is..." Catherine stood up and approached Drake gradually.

With his hands in the pocket, Drake stood still. What did she want know? He thought.

Both Catherine and her sister Emma were the type of woman who paid a lot attention to their work. In

fact, Catherine was more beautiful than Emma, while she was also more insidious than Emma.

As alarm bells started to ring in his heart, Drake realised that he was supposed to beware of Catherine.

She is capable of trapping someone and framing them. Drake had to be careful with every move he

made.

"... it seems like Ella and Samuel are deep in love. We need to weaken this bond quickly. We need to

come up with a fool-proof strategy."

Catherine said and begin to make plans to destroy Ella in her mind. She had to make sure that Ella

was completely destroyed, with no recourse for recovery. Catherine chuckled a bit. According to

Emma, there was something between Ella and Sum. Whether it was a friendship or an affair, Catherine

didn't care, she was going to use this information to her advantage.

So all Catherine had to do is to leak it to the media about Ella and Sum.

Samuel would never forgive her for her indiscretions. But she needed more. She needed proof. Such

traps were not enough for Samuel to abandon Ella.

Catherine explained to Drake her plan. "... after the exposure of media, the public opinion will push him

to forsake Ella."

Drake understood her thought instantly. Only women like Catherine could come up with such a

malicious idea.

"It's not going to be easy to put that plan into action. How do you propose we do it?" Catherine looked

at Drake with disdain.

She crossed her hands,"It's not difficult. You just buy some drugs and put them together in a room, and

take pictures of them. Samuel will believe since he has had rumours already about Sum and Ella."

Drake nodded his head, trying to swat away fears that he may have. "That's still going to be difficult."

Drake was afraid of Samuel.

The last time he sent Ella a photo anonymously, of Samuel and Emma hugging, Samuel found out that

it was Drake who sent it.

Samuel gave him a warning and threatened him. The reason why Drake was still working at Samuel's

law office was because Drake's grandmother. At the edge of dying, she asked Samuel to look after

Drake and offered him a job.

Meanwhile, she advised Drake to learn from Samuel.

In fact, Drake had no interest in the job, but he took it anyway.

Samuel confined him to work here, mostly owing to the Drake's grandmother's last wish. Samuel didn't

want to let her down as he had promised.

"What do you mean? It's not. Are you getting scared now? I warn you Drake, back out now and I will

make sure that you never get Emma. You hear me!" Catherine was angry, yanking Drake back to

reality. "Hold on, Catherine. No need to make idle threats. I am not backing out. We will have to

arrange this, down to the most minuscule detail. To make sure that it is fool-proof and nothing goes

wrong. I fear that if it fails... " Drake's voice trailed off, but Catherine could easily fill in the blanks.

"Even if it fails, it won't trace back to you. Rest assured" She responded and smiled.
