Nemesis Game novel Chapter 12

Mrs. Moore looked shocked, and she was more appalled than Peyton.

When Peyton saw Mrs. Moore, she looked like she was seeing a ghost, while she threw away her phone and quickly got out of bed.

"You said...What did you say?" Mrs. Moore felt a pain in her heart and her voice was hoarse.

She wanted to reassure herself that she had misheard it, but when she looked at Peyton's horrified face, she knew that what she had just heard was true.

Peyton backed away in fear, not daring to look up at Mrs. Moore. "Mom, you misheard. You misheard... I didn't say anything."

She tried to go up, grabbing Mrs. Moore's hand.

"Is that true? Did you get someone to kill Samantha? Did you ask someone to attack her in jail? You frame her!" Mrs. Moore grew pale and could hardly stand.

Her daughter, Samantha, turned out to be really innocent!

She couldn't believe that Peyton, who she had raised by herself, could do something so insane!

Her own daughter has been in jail for seven years, so she ruined the life of her own daughter, Samantha, by listening to her adopted daughter, Peyton.

Mrs. Moore felt angry and heartbroken. "Samantha... My own daughter."

"No, Mom! I didn't do it. Let me explain... I didn't do it."

Peyton was shaking all over, and suddenly she put her arms round Mrs. Moore's legs, pleading.

Mrs. Moore broke down, looking at Peyton with tears streaming down her face.

"I'm going to look into this... I'm going to look into this!"

Mrs. Moore looked at Peyton as if she had seen a ghost, and after pushing Peyton away, she scrambled out of the room.

This was horrible.

How did this happen?

Peyton was in a panic, so she stumbled out after Mrs. Moore.

She had only one idea that she must not let Mrs. Moore tell anyone what she had done.
