No Escape From Mr. CEO's Dangerous Love

Chapter 520

Feeling dizzy, Emma rubbed her head, until what happened last night came back to her. She felt as if she saw Samuel last night. But she was not so sure.

Who was it? Emma's face turned pale when she saw what was on the desk. A check for 500, 000 USD, on which the signature read: Felix.

What the hell? What did Felix take her for?

Emma clenched the check in her fist. She must get away from him, or there would be more trouble.

On six o'clock in the morning.

Ella quietly got up, washed up, and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast.

Two bowls of millet congee, two sandwiches and two heart shaped fried eggs.

She heard a slight sound coming from the bedroom. The the door opened. Samuel came out. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"Honey!" Ella trotted cheerfully towards him, and called him with delight.

Samuel felt his morning was lightened. "Morning, dear." He held Ella's head in his hands, pulled her towards him, and kissed her softly.

Ella felt really satisfied at that moment. She hoped they could be together in the rest of their life.

"Honey, breakfast is ready. Go wash up and I'll wait for you at the table."

They ate breakfast in happiness, talking and laughing, and went to the law office together.

In the meeting room.

Today was the last time to discuss with Emma's periodical office about the issues that should be noticed on court. Emma would be the plaintiff on behalf of her office.

Emma didn't make any trouble this time, so the meeting moved on smoothly.

Ella went to the tea room to refill Samuel's cup.

Outside of the meeting room, Anna was making a dinner reservation on the phone. "No red pepper please, one of the guests is allergic to red peppers. Yes. No coriander and green onion, either. That is all."

Allergic to red peppers? Who? Samuel? Though Ella never saw Samuel eat any red pepper, she never heard him talk about it.

"Anna, is Samuel allergic to red peppers?" When Anna hung up the phone, Ella asked out of curiosity.

A slight sign of awkwardness flashed in Anna's eyes when she saw Ella. "Miss Reynolds is allergic to red peppers." Anna had worked for Samuel for six years, so she had seen Emma a lot before.

As long as Emma was with him, Samuel would explicitly ask his assistant to book some food without red pepper, coriander and green onion.

Therefore almost all his senior assistants knew Miss Reynolds didn't eat red pepper, coriander, or green onion.

Miss Reynolds? Emma? Ella was a little relieved to know it was Emma. So she also knew her weaknesses!

"Ah, thank you. I have to rush to the tea room." Ella held Samuel's cup in her hands, and walked to the tea room thoughtfully.

When she left, Catherine suddenly came out from nowhere. After Anna and she nodded to each other, Catherine watched Ella walk away.

It was a good chance, and she wouldn't let it go.

Ella suddenly thought of another important thing when she came out from the tea room.

Samuel could book a meal with no red peppers for Emma. Did he know that Ella liked spicy food?

At that thought, Ella stopped her pace. Did she make a fuss now?

But she was really upset.

Samuel was really busy at noon, so he asked Ella to have lunch with Felix on his behalf.

Ask Ella to go on his behalf? She was worried lest she would force red peppers down Emma's throat. Ella thought.

She agreed at the end when she saw Samuel was up to his neck. Anna and Catherine went to have lunch together.

Emma wasn't too active since Samuel didn't show up. She paid full attention to the food, and chatted with Catherine sometimes.

Felix sat beside Emma, and was also trying to find some topic to talk with her.

Ella went to the ladies room before all the dishes were ready. Not long after, a bowl of pot shrimp was served.

And when Ella returned, everyone started eating the shrimp.

Catherine put a shrimp onto Emma's plate, "Have a shrimp, sister." It looked so normal so no one had noticed.

It was 1 pm when Samuel received a phone call from Anna. He just picked up a pair of chopsticks and was about to have lunch.

He frowned after he listened to what Anna said.

Anna had already told the restaurant that Emma was allergic to red peppers. Why would such thing happen? So, someone must have done something to the food.

Samuel put down the chopsticks, quickly grabbed his suit coat, put it on and rushed towards the hospital.

Samuel called Ella on his way to the hospital. Ella didn't go to the hospital. She was going back to the company at the moment.

"You go back and have some rest. I have to go to the hospital to check up on her." Samuel told her.

Ella nodded, "Okay."

Ella was a little disturbed after the accident. She didn't know why.

In the hospital.

Emma almost freaked out. She hid herself in the hospital blanket. Due to her allergy, her face was covered in a telltale rash. It would not recover soon.

Samuel pulled open the ward door in a hurry and walked in. In the room stood the restaurant manager, Catherine and Anna.

The manager was anxiously making his pledge to Catherine, "We had received the phone call from Anna, and I was supervising our cook when they were cooking. I can promise, there is no red pepper in the food."

Catherine wasn't listening to him at all. "Look at my sister's face! We'll see you in the court!"

"What happened?" Samuel's cold voice sounded, and the room quieted down.

Anna walked to him immediately and briefed him what happened at noon.

At lunch, Emma started to feel bad after eating the pot shrimp. Not long after, her face broke out into a rash, and she began to notice in shock that there was red pepper in the dish.

But it was too late. Anna and Catherine quickly sent her to the hospital.

Anna ate the shrimp. It did taste spicy.

The manager walked to Samuel, stood in front of him and spoke to him mannerly, "Mr Lowell, we have cooperated with your law firm for a long time and never made mistakes before. I can also assure you this time that there is not the slightest amount of red pepper in the pot shrimp."

The monitoring record was brought up too. No sign of red pepper was seen in the video.

That was very strange. Catherine suddenly asked, "Was that done by someone on purpose? Where is Ella? Why is she not here?"

Samuel frowned at her words. Why was Catherine always against Ella? Ella was with her a few days ago. She must have been greatly wronged.

"Miss Reynolds, watch your mouth. You have no evidence. Ella doesn't even know Emma was allergic to red peppers." How could she possibly do anything to the food?

Right then, Anna spoke up with hesitation, "Mr Lowell, Mrs. Lowell knew that..."

Her words made the whole ward quiet down.
