What she said angered Ruben. His eyes were turning red and the veins on his hand were popping. She would die at any moment!
Just when she thought that she was going to die, Peyton appeared next to them.
“Ruben, let go. Don’t hurt Samantha.” Peyton acted like she was worried as she pulled Ruben’s hand away, “I owe her this and I have to apologize to her.”
The frigidness in Ruben’s eyes dissipated seeing Peyton. He finally let go of Samantha, who was half-dead.
Samantha fell onto the ground embarrassingly and tried to take in deep breaths. Her sight was dark and blurry.
She coughed violently and glared at Peyton, “You owe me! You owe me everything and you should trade my life for your life!”
She was tortured in prison. Her voice cord was damaged, her arm was disabled, and these people were acting under Peyton’s order!
And here she was acting like she was an angel. Disgusting!
Ruben’s eye dimmed and he looked at her coldly.
“Do you want to die, Samantha?”
“I’m not deaf yet, no need to yell.” She looked down and tried to hide her tears.
Peyton’s face turned pale. She went up to help Samantha up, “The floor is cold, let’s stand up.”
Samantha looked up and she smirked, “Get away from me, you disgust me!”
Peyton dug her nails into her arm and the expression in her eyes was venomous.
Samantha frowned. She endured the pain and pushed Peyton away.
Before she could react, Peyton stumbled backwards and fell onto the ground. She cried in pain.
A piece of shard cut her finger and Peyton wailed in pain.
Samantha scoffed at her acting. It was just a small wound.
But Ruben looked worried and he quickly went up to Peyton.
“Ruben, it was my fault. I wasn’t standing properly!” Peyton snuggled into his arms, crying a river.
Samantha’s pupil contracted, she went up to them.
“Are you saying that I pushed you?”
She laughed.
