Trapped with the CEO

Emma, covering herself with the quilt, heard what they said clearly. 'It must have been that damn Ella! She's always trying to retaliate against me." Her voice was neither loud nor low, but all people could hear it.

Speaking of retaliation, no one would think it was overstated. Especially after the farce between them at the hotel last night.

Ella, as Samuel's wife, was likely to make Emma suffer.

"How did she know that?" Samuel looked at Anna coldly.

Anna told Samuel what happened when she ordered lunch. She didn't believe Ella would do that. However, the evidences all pointed towards her.

It was not a big deal, but it couldn't be ignored. Emma was fine. Now it all boiled down to what Samuel would do next.

Samuel walked to the bedside calmly, trying to pull off Emma's quilt.

Emma grasped the quilt tightly, "Go away. I don't want you to see me like this!"

"Emma." Hearing Samuel's voice, Emma seemed to calm down.

She uncovered her eyes slowly. Her forehead was covered with red spots.

"Samuel." Felt wronged, Emma was in tears.

"How are you?" There was not a trace of love in his words. He was not showing any sign of care or gentleness as Emma would expect of him.

She covered her head again, "Go! I won't forgive Ella." Emma was convinced that it was Ella.

Samuel looked at her and didn't say anything, "Have a good rest. I'll bear all your expenses."

He would bear all expenses. Everyone knew what Samuel meant instantly.

He was defending Ella. It was not important whether Ella did it or not. The point was he would solve it quietly before this thing got out.

Emma was pissed off. Regardless of the rash on her face, she lifted up the quilt and sat up, "Samuel, you are really so in love with Ella? Even if she hurt me, you still choose to ignore it?"

Hearing what she said, Samuel stopped at the door. But he just

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...

hoped that Samuel could trust her.

"Was it you? If that is the case, you should go to the hospital to apologize to Emma."

The consequence of this thing was not very serious. He could forgive her if she apologized to Emma.

He didn't force Ella to do that, but Ella thought it sounded harsh.

"I didn't!" For the first time, Ella talked to Samuel loud.

Samuel looked at Ella, who seemed to be getting angry. He might have misunderstood her, "It's okay. It's good that you didn't do that. I hate deception above all things. I trust you." He would never deceive her, and she couldn't deceive him, either.

If one day he found out that she was lying to him, he didn't know what he would do.

He held her in his arms and patted her back gently.

At this moment, Ella was anxious. Samuel said that he hated deception above all things. She... What could she do? She must keep that thing secret from him.

The lounge was quiet. Neither of them spoke again.

After a long time, "Samuel…" Ella said softly. Her voice softened Samuel's heart.

"Yes?" He looked down at Ella in his arms.

"If someone deceives you… I mean if that was true, what will you do to her?" She didn't dare to look at his eyes, but asked in a tentative manner.
