Trapped with a Lawyer

Samuel put down his chopsticks and swallowed the steaming dumplings in his mouth. He looked at an excited Viola, "Mom, since you have high blood pressure, it will be good for you not to care too much."

His words only cheered Viola up more. "You know I'm in bad health and have high blood pressure. If you care about me, you had better listen to me and divorce Ella. You should marry Emma!" There was another matter that Emma said not to tell anyone. Ella apparently maltreated her grandson.

But she couldn't help saying it out loud. "The cruel woman maltreated my grandson. How could she be a daughter-in-law of the Shao family?"

"Enough!" Melody slammed the spoon heavily on the table and stood up.

She walked to Viola. "What poison did Emma feed you? You tried to persuade your own son to abandon his wife and marry a lover." Her daughter-in-law had disappointed her too much, and went out of line.

With the elder grandmother angry, the whole family fell into silence. Viola grit her teeth and returned to her seat.

"Mother, please don't be angry." Vincent stood up quickly to comfort the elder woman.

Melody was so angry, her hands shook. She took a seat beside Samuel after Vincent comforted her. She felt better when she was carrying her great grandson.

The nice breakfast ended sourly with Viola's words.

The commotion downstairs went by unnoticed by the slumbering Ella. She was oblivious.

When she woke up, the sun was setting down. Sitting up in bed, she looked at the clock beside her. It was almost four o'clock.

What a shame! At a loss, Ella put her hands on her forehead. How could she go out and meet people now?

She felt her whole body ache when she moved a bit. Recalling the night before, Ella clutched the thin blanket to her body tightly with her right hand.

Embarrassment filled her face, followed by annoyance. Samuel must've deliberately humiliated her.
