Trapped with the Lawyer - Chapter 260 Justifiable Defense

“My God, Ella is a suspect? How?”

Ella read through the comments as her world spinned out of control. It was obvious that few people believed her.

However, it was the fact that even though she didn’t commit intentional homicide, she had killed Catherine.

Though she felt disappointed, she thanked those who had nice things to say. Then she restricted her Weibo account. No-one could write any comments.

Three days later, Ella went to the court with Samuel after she had received a subpoena.

According to the indictment, it was Catherine’s father who accused Ella of his daughter’s death.

The related evidence was a testimony, provided by a man called Bob. He claimed that he witnessed Ella shoot Catherine.

The lawyer of the opposing party was a nobody from R Country. Samuel was comfortable that he could get the charges dropped within minutes.

He had to reverse the passive situation, since his family was in trouble and his reputation were on the line.

When the case came up, Ella saw Catherine’s parents.

As the case progressed, the opposing lawyer hardly had a chance to object to Samuel’s accusations whilst Samuel objected with unexpected ease.

He also presented evidence of the crimes that Catherine had committed before and used it to counteract the opposing council’s defence.

“Catherine has committed many crimes to my wife Ella including but not limited to malicious injury, kidnapping, personal abuse, and slander. She even engineered a plot to kill my wife where she worked. Later she bribed a gang leader in R Country to murder my wife. As a result, many people lost their lives because of her. Here is the evidence.” Samuel took the evidence out of his briefcase and submitted them to court.

Catherine’s parents had no idea that their daughter had committed so many crimes. They fell mute, as they realized that they had lost the case.

It was the first time that Ella saw a confident and fearless Samuel in court.

He would attack the opponent psychologically when necessary and defeated him in an imposing manner.

He was able to take care of this alone

“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”

Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.

Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.

“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.

ll that she needed.

In France.

A couple strolled along a small river, listening to the birds singing and smelling the scent of flowers in full bloom at Giverny, a village in the region of Normandy in northern France.

It was not long before Ella stopped and pointed at a place not far away. She said to Samuel, “The first store is a flower shop, once run by Daisy and me.”

Looking at the direction Ella pointed at, Samuel saw a small house nestled in a cobblestone alleyway.

The whole left side of the house was covered by flowers in full bloom, with colourful petals that were shining in the sunlight.

In front of the house laid some different varieties of potted plants. The eaves displayed the words, ‘I Miss You’.

It was the name of the flower shop.

A simple name with a profound meaning.

Now the flower shop was owned by a French old couple, whom Ella had sold it to. As they approached the flower shop, a silver-haired couple sat on the swing under the eaves, shoulder against shoulder, hand in hand.

Seeing the warm and loving scene, Ella couldn’t help retrieving her phone to take a picture of them.

Then hand in hand, Samuel and Ella left quietly in order to not disturb them.

As planned, they left France for Italy. Leaning against Samuel’s shoulder on their flight to Italy, Ella smiled. ‘So this is it. This is the first day of the rest of my life with Sam…”
