Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 47 We Are Fine

"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.

"Look, we were happy! You could tell from my diamond ring" she thought.

Smirking, Ella took a photo of her diamond ring.

She also selected a picture of her son's during his tummy time and posted them altogether.

Now that they were so interested, she would give them a solid reply. Similar situations could thus be

avoided to ease Simon's burden with the case.

"Thank you for your attention. We are fine."

Ella suddenly flung herself in the public after nearly a two year break from social media.

Her microblog was like a smack straight in the face of those despicable journalists.

Many fans called on her to return back to the entertainment business. Although she wanted, she still

needed to discuss this matter in detail with Samuel.

Lola also reposted her microblog and wrote "Mr. and Mrs. Shao". Then she added three hearts

following it.

Lola was busy with charity work recently and had established a good image in the public domain.

Reposting Ella's microblog, much more netizens saw it and sent their blessings to Ella.

While Ella was still absorbed in the weibo, Samuel came back to the office, followed by both by Emma

and Anna.

Anna laid the documents she was carrying on the office table and then left.

"Big brother Simon, you are back." Ella was lying indifferently on the sofa. She jumped on Samuel as

soon as she saw him enter.

Samuel took her and kissed her on the forehead, "Why didn't you rest at home today?" he asked.

Instead of feeling fatigued, she looked energetic and full of life. Didn't he work hard enough already?

She let go off of Samuel's neck and he walked towards the office table. "How about tomorrow? I want

to see our son tomorrow." She missed her little Jerry so much.

"Well, all right."

They acted like no one was watching, and this gave Emma an impulse to run dashing out the door.

Hatred was growing in her heart and she was tightly grasping her fists with anger.

Ella admitted that she did this on purpose in front of her. Who permitted that this woman would always

impose herself on her husband? Darn it!

Samuel casually discussed official business with Emma. Ella felt bored and looked at them from aside.

Her cellphone was still ringing. She had to turn off the phone's notification sound when she reactivated

the weibo.

Ella was absorbed in her chat with Lola, and Samuel asked Anna to arrange a lunch for Emma.

"Don't bother. I feel bored all by myself. May I have lunch with you?" She said this very smoothly and

naturally. Ella was now confused. How thick-skinned this woman was

Was she asking for trouble?

Samuel glanced at Ella and asked her: "Honey, what do you think?"

... Emma now looked paler and paler. She closed her fists tightly again. How could he possibly hurt her

like that!

Ella seemed worried and said: "Dear, I don't feel like eating when there are other people around."

Her words suddenly changed the air in the office.

Samuel gave her a reproachful look, but didn't say a word. His wife was always right.

Emma smiled with a slight broken heart. She no longer wanted to stay defiant: "Well, Samuel, I'll dine

out alone then." Even Ella couldn't bear the wounded look on her face.

As expected, she clearly saw something in Samuel's eyes. But it disappeared soon enough. She wasn't Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

sure whether it was sadness or pity.

Emma's response could easily led to people interpreting Ella's behavior as being unreasonable. And

there was also Samuel's ambiguous emotion, which made Ella very uncomfortable.
