Trapped with a Lawyer

When Samuel got to the seaside, firefighters had stopped searching the sea.

Ella had been found but she had no pulse and was not breathing.

Eric informed Samuel the bad news, causing Samuel to punch him on the face. Though angry at him, Eric did not show it. He sent Samuel to see Ella's corpse.

At that moment, few people knew about what had happened to Ella. It was better to keep it secret.

Samuel mindlessly walked to the seaside. He pushed his way through the firefighters and looked at the body lying on the ground.

She still wore the ancient costume from the play. Her body was pale and swollen because of the seawater.

For a moment, he felt like his soul had been sucked away. He crouched before Ella and reached down to touch her face.

Her face was cold, which made his eyes bloodshot. His heart hurt as if someone had plucked and torn it from him.

Tears began to well up in his eyes. He murmured, "Ella, Ella..."

The crowd stared at him, slack-jawed.

Samuel was Ella's ex-husband, was it necessary for him to shed tears like this?

Their relationship seemed to be complicated.

The crowd whispered. However, after Samuel fought back tears, he pulled her hand before his eyes and took a close look at her wrist.

Then he turned over her body. The crowd was confused by his actions.

Then he uncovered her body and found there was nothing on her pale waist.

"This is not Ella!" he shouted.

He said it confidently making the crowd more confused.

He looked at Eric who was more puzzled. Samuel said firmly, "This is not Ella."

Ella had a tiny mole on her wrist. The mole could not be corroded by seawater in a day.

That was impossible!
