Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 145 Teach Amber a Lesson

Amber glowered at Ella.

Ella figured out what was going on finally, after being puzzled for several minutes.

She was being framed!

Sure enough, the man then set his eyes on Ella. "Ella, talk to the director for me please. The money

you gave me is far less than my two months' salary. I'll be on the streets if he fires me.'"

Hearing what the man said, Amber stood from her chair, walked towards Ella and slapped her.

"Ella, why did you do this, huh?" Although angry, Amber's voice was still quite coquettish.

At this point, everyone on site gathered around them and they gasped when Ella was slapped by

Amber.

"Miss Amber, it's Ella who asked me to change the sword to a real one. She has disliked you for a long

time."

Amber was a big star and people her age were all quite deferential towards her.

People started whispering to themselves about what the man had said.

Covering her face with her hand, Ella said nothing.

"Ella, you're evil!" Ella saw only anger in Amber's eyes.

Why only? Was she that good at acting?

It didn't matter. Ella rubbed her aching face and raised her hand suddenly.

She slapped Amber back.

Her tender and soft face turned red immediately.

Amber started crying. She looked so pathetic that people all felt pity for her.

'God! Is Ella crazy? How dare she slap Miss Amber?'

'That's right. She is much older than Miss Amber. She asked him to change the sword out of envy for

Miss Amber's youth and beauty, didn't she?' The crowd's murmurs grew louder as they looked on.

...

Eric was too angry to say a word. Although it was hard to tell who was right and who was wrong at first.

he was still not happy to see such disharmony amongst his film crew and talent.

"You, tell us what happened!" Eric pointed to the man again.

Surrounded by others, the thin man became too terrified to say a word.

His begging eyes fell on Ella again, as if he was saying "Help me, please."

Ignoring him, Ella looked at Amber. She was much older than her, so Ella decided to teach her a

lesson. "I slapped you back so that you can learn that you should never hit other people before figuring

out what is going on. You must seek the truth first. Do you understand little girl?"

She looked like a strict mother. Amber felt dumb and stopped sobbing.

She was 19 years old and if she remembered correctly, Ella was ten years older than her. It was hard

to tell that Ella was almost thirty from her appearance.

How could she get a sense of strict mother from Ella's eyes?

Ella then looked at the man in contempt. "It's hard to believe that you have worked with the film crew

for such a long time. Your acting sucks. How can you frame others when there are so many flaws in

your story?"

It seemed that the thin man wanted to defend himself, but Ella wouldn't give him the chance to speak.

"You stood out too soon, looked at me too soon and betrayed the mastermind too soon. You confessed

all of this as soon as the director said "go away", but at that time he didn't know it was you. You are so

stupid."

People around them nodded. What Ella said was reasonable.

Eric kicked the thin man. "You bastard, tell me, who was behind this?"

Normally, people would suspect Amber, who, at that moment, dared not cry anymore. They couldn't

think of another person who would have the motive to frame Ella.

Only a few clever people knew that the mastermind wanted to set Amber against Ella.

The thin man tried to struggle. "I don't care whether you believe me or not. It was indeed Ella who

asked me to do that. She said that Amber was so self-willed and unreasonable that she must be taught

a lesson!"

Those words made Amber feel embarrassed.

"Alright then. According to what you said, I wanted to teach her a lesson, then why did I do nothing

when you were exposed? Besides, you said that I gave you some money, then present some evidence

like the transfer record for example." Ella was wearing a cardinal palace dress and her face was

shining with confidence and indifference. She looked like a queen, if her extravagant make up was

ignored.

People around them nodded and stared at that man, whoes expression turned from shame to anger.

"Ella, you dare to act but don't want to bear the responsibility. How could I agree to help you if I knew

who you truly are?" He finished and ran away, Which was so sudden that people stood there dumb-

struck.

Now, the fact was clear. People knew that Ella was being framed.

Then Eric sent someone to check on the man and found that the man, who was an orphan, had fled

away after he was exposed.

However, Amber was not mature enough to forgive Ella because of the hurt on her arm and face.

Therefore, she played right into the mastermind's hands and wouldn't talk to Ella anymore in private.

Ella thought about the plan to frame her for several days and could not figure out who was behind it.

Although she was popular with the filming crew, she was not annoying either. Who would frame her?

Nevertheless, no matter who was behind it, Ella decided to be cautious from now on.

After Samuel's Wechat was added by Ella, Jerry connecting to Ella for video chats from Samuel's office

at the old house.

Ella was puzzled. Samuel had warned her again and again not to see her son, but now he allowed

Jerry to do video chats with her.

Was he a man of contradiction?

Their work had already completed by afternoon and the director proposed a dinner party.

Ella wanted to go home and spend time with her daughter since she was off work early, but Eric

thought highly of her and didn't agree with her absence from the party. Ella had no choice but to

change her dress and go to the party.

Sapphire Hotel.

Looking at the glorious hotel, Ella was deeply touched. It had been four years since her last stay. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Now, the Sapphire Hotel had been renovated and had became more luxurious.

They gathered in a big room, with more than thirty seats around a large table.

Almost thirty people were in attendance and the atmosphere was pleasant because of the presence of

several young stars like Amber.

As a veteran in the entertainment industry, Joseph flirted with Amber and other actress making red

blushes spread across their faces.

Ella knew that If Joseph wasn't married, even Amber would fall in love with him.

During the dinner, Ella left quietly.

Knowing that there was a balcony at the end of the corridor on the sixth floor, she wanted to get some

fresh air there.

They had proposed toasts at the dinner, so Ella had had some liquor as well.
