Trapped with a Lawyer

They must be for her. Ella then changed into the new clothes. She looked around the room, but could not find her purse.

She remembered Sum bringing her purse into the room last night. Where is it now? Did Samuel take it?

Ella combed the room once again for the purse. She confirmed that it was no longer there. Then she turned to the door.

Once she opened the door, she was startled to find two men in black uniform standing right outside the room.

"Good morning, Mrs. Shao. Mr. Shao sent us to protect you. Would you please go back to the villa with us?"

To protect her? Ella frowned doubtfully. She still remembered what happened last time when Samuel had sent someone to protect her. She doubted that what Samuel really wanted was to keep her under surveillance and cut her communication with others!

"You don't have to protect me. I can manage on my own..."

"Mrs. Shao, here is what Mr. Shao told us. He wanted you to know that all your belongings from your apartment, along with your son, have been already sent to the villa. And you'd better come with us if you still want to see your son again."

Though it was not her fault, Ella was somehow feeling sorry for being kissed by Sum in front of Samuel last night. But not any more. When Samuel threatened her with her son and her freedom, all her guiltiness turned into a sudden outrage.

In the end, Ella had no choice but to go back to the villa under the escort of the two burly men.

Melody had left the villa soon just before they arrived. Two servants were playing with Jerry when Ella came in. Joy hurried towards Ella with Jerry in her arms as soon as she saw Ella walking in. And then she reported to Ella, "My Lady. Her Ladyship has just left. She had been waiting for you for nearly an hour."

Ella gave her a nod and said, "I'll call her later." Then Ella took her son from Joy.

She felt much better as soon as she saw her precious boy.

Then Ella called Melody and talked to her for almost half an hour.

In the afternoon, Ella was about to go out with her son when she was stopped by the bodyguards at the door.
