Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 114 Nothing but Nightmares

Samuel stopped in his tracks. After a long time, he nodded,"That's right!"

Ella bit her lower lip tightly. This bastard was too shameless. "Mr. Shao has been unfaithful, I'm going to

sue you in court!" If she used what she had on him, she would get full custody of her son.

Right, she was going to use this! Ella was suddenly struck with a brilliant idea.

After rearranging his clothes, Samuel walked up to Ella. She had already sat up, but was forced lie in

bed again when he closed in on her.

"Mrs. Shao is welcome to sue me." Supporting himself with one hand on the bed, Samuel used his

other hand to take out his wallet from his pocket. He took out a bank card.

He put the card on the bedside table next to her and said,"There's no limit to the amount of money you

can spend with this card. It's enough for you to file countless lawsuits, take it."

Shooting her a disdainful glance, he walked away.

His indifference drove Ella crazy. She really wanted to kick him again. What a megalomaniac! Does he

think he's invincible in the legal world?

Ella woke up feeling much more comfortable today than she did yesterday. She took a quick wash and

went downstairs.

Downstairs, the family was having breakfast. Samuel stood up from the table, having just finished his

meal when Ella appeared.

After kissing his son, he was on his way to the living room door when he switched directions.

Regardless of the surprised looks from his family, he took Ella in his arms and gave her a long kiss

before turning away.

He left, leaving an embarrassed Ella alone with three stunned elders...

At the Channel Magazine

Near lunchtime, a lot of colleagues went to the restaurant.

Dressed in a dark blue sweater, Emma was still hard at work in the editor-in-chief's office.

Picking up some of the folders, she pressed the assistant's internal line on the intercom and

said,"Please come in and send this film actor's co-production plan to the president's office, thank you."

She immediately hung up afterwards, and continued to work with her head down.

Within a minute, a woman came in. She took Emma's folder and walked out.

"Oh, and tell the editorial staff that the proposal must be delivered to my office by today. If this small

thing doesn't work out, they'll be fired! At work, Emma's decision-making has always been

straightforward.

Even now, she was as decisive as ever.

"Yes, Miss Gu." Frightened and trembling, the assistant walked out of the director's office with the

documents in her arms.

Director Emma hasn't been here long. She's quick and decisive in her work, shocking a lot of

employees in no time. Everyone admired her.

No wonder she was famous in America, she was so good at her job!

Holding the folder, the assistant immediately went to the president's office. When she got to the

elevator, she passed by a man.

The door of the director's office sounded with a thump. Someone knocked on the door again.

"Come in." The woman's short reply made the man smile. It was just like her.

The office door opened from the outside. Emma was so busy, that she just lifted her eyes.

After a glance, she was stunned. She did a double take in disbelief. The man's approach assured her

that she wasn't mistaken.

Trying to suppress her trembling, she turned pale and asked,"What are you doing here?"

Drake stopped at her desk. He looked at the woman in front of him with his eyes full of passion and

affection,"Emma, I missed you so much."

He was afraid that Emma would resist him again. He hadn't seen her for months.

Before Emma could answer, the office door opened again. The woman who entered was another

person she didn't want to see.

With an injured face, Elaine rushed to Emma's side. She shook Emma's arm and said,"My dearest

daughter, please help me! They're going to kill me!"

Emma rose, toppling her chair to the ground. She pulled her mother aside.

"Mom, don't you see that I have other guests here?"

Elaine never cared about anything but money,"My dear daughter, my face is disfigured. Please give me

two million, so I can pay my bills!"

Two million? That's crazy! Emma stared incredulously at the woman who claimed to be her mother. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Elaine was getting worse!

"Get out, I want to cut ties off with you!" Emma lowered her voice, pulling Elaine towards the door.

She didn't expect Elaine to break away from her. The older woman shamelessly sat on the

couch,"Emma, I'm your mother. How could you get rid of me? "

Drake leaned against his desk, listening to the conversation intently.

Catherine wasn't lying. What Emma needed the most now was money! And the reason was her

gambling mother!

Elaine's actions humiliated Emma. Her mother was such a disgrace.

Almost breaking down, Emma took her bag and pulled out a bank card. "This is the last million. You

can take it or not, do whatever you want!" She just wanted to get rid of Elaine!

Elaine stared at Emma's bank card. Controlling her impulse to take it, she bit out,"If I come back with

only a million dollars, the people pursuing my debt will kill me. I need two million! My dear daughter,

please help me......"

Just then, a check was handed to Elaine.

Elaine's eyes widened at the amount on the check. There was a five, followed by a lot of zeroes. So

much money! Her eyes were filled with money, glowing with greed.

She took the check without a word and blinked at it several times. It was a check for five million dollars!

But in the next instant, the check was snatched by Emma. She insisted,"Mr. Shao, please take this

back." She detached herself from him indifferently. She didn't want to get involved with Drake at all.

"Emma, are you an idiot? How can you refuse so much money!" Grabbing the check that Drake hadn't

taken, Elaine stood up and ran away.

Emma felt exhausted watching Elaine flee.

"Emma, don't take it too seriously." Drake walked up to her, looking at her affectionately.

Upset, Emma broke down and yelled at Drake,"You don't know my mother. She has asked me for

money too many times!" She's a leech!"

Drake looked at her helplessness with distress.

Despite her struggling, he held her in his arms,"Emma, don't be upset." His arms tightened around

Emma. He couldn't help wanting to hold her tighter.

He missed her body and her scent. He missed her desperately.

"Let me go, Drake. Let me go!" Emma's body began to tremble again, and Drake reluctantly let her go.

Taking a step back, he pulled out a check book from his pocket. He tore off a blank sheet and handed it

to her.

"Emma, you can write any amount you want on the check." Emma was stunned at his wealth. She

stopped trembling.

She knew that everyone connected with Samuel was rich, but she didn't realize that Drake was also

rich.

"No! I can't accept this!" She knew Drake liked her, but she didn't like Drake at all.

Drake gave her nothing but nightmares!

For instance, he was currently handing her an unlimited cheque. Just as she hesitated, he took her in

his arms and didn't give her a chance to refuse.
