Nemesis Game novel Chapter 21

Samantha took a deep breath and said in a firm tone, "I'll try."

"No, you should try your best. You cannot lose anyway." Gabriel interrupted her seriously.

Samantha looked at him, "I know."

"You are not certain you'll win or not. So, it doesn't matter even if you lose?" Gabriel made a fist.

"No, whatever it takes, I'll win." Samantha said with a confident expression.

"You haven't studied acting before, but you are born to act." Gabriel said meaningfully.

If Samantha didn't show a great talent in acting, he wouldn't have gone through all that trouble to make her go into entertainment."

While Samantha and Gabriel were talking, Ruben and Peyton walked up hand in hand. Samantha could no longer keep her focus.

Ruben caught sight of her. When Ruben and Peyton walked towards her step by step, Samantha felt her heart beating in her throat.

When Ruben got closer and closer to her, Samantha felt very nervous as if she was walking cross the wire.

Ruben sat by her side quickly. As he approached, Samantha could feel the cold aura around him.

Peyton gritted her teeth. She felt that Samantha was like an enemy that she couldn't avoid no matter where she went.

"Those who can only play some dirty tricks are like clowns even if they get into the entertainment industry." As soon as he sat down, his dark eyes seemed to be covered with frost.

Who did he refer to?

Samantha was stunned for a moment and realized that Ruben was directed against her. She raised eyebrow without saying a word.

Peyton may spoke ill of her in front of Ruben.

Ruben fixed his cold gaze on Samantha's face. Peyton felt the situation was going against herself, so she pulled Ruben's arm.

"Ruben. I'm fine. It has nothing to do with Mrs Powell. Don't be angry."

Samantha threw a cold glance at Peyton.

Ruben stared at Samantha, "Mrs Powell, though you and Peyton are competitors, you trod on her foot on purpose. You are so ill-breeding."

Hearing that, Samantha finally got it.

Peyton distorted the fact again.

"Yes, I'm ill-bred, but Ms. Moore is no less than me in this aspect. With such a pure face, she occupies her dead sister's husband and calls his name affectionately. If her dead sister heard that, would her dead sister come back to earth from the hell to demand her life?"

"You..." Peyton was surprised and looked at Samantha in disbelief.

How could Mrs Powell know so much about Samantha?

Ruben's dark eyes were cold and his expression were unfathomable.

Samantha chuckled, "No, I need to correct myself. Ms. Moore and Mrs Knight are not sisters. You are only a foster daughter. How could you have the affection of sisters? You could own Mrs Knight's biological parents, let alone a man."

Samantha wanted to ridicule Peyton long before. She felt delighted to see Ruben and Peyton get into trouble.

Peyton pretended to be gentle and sensible in front of everyone. Though she had a face like an angel, she was rotten and sneaky.

The public didn't know that Peyton was adopted. Though Samantha's birth was legitimized, the Moore family had never made it public that Peyton was only a foster daughter because the Moore family did not want to hurt Peyton's feelings. Therefore, the public thought that Peyton was the daughter of the Moores.

Samantha couldn't put up with it…

Peyton was speechless with rage. Her face was pale and held onto the sofa, "Who are you?"

"An unimportant person." Samantha turned her gaze to the stage and leaned against the sofa lazily. It was obvious that she didn't want to talk to Peyton anymore.

Peyton's breathing became an issue and her face was colorful like a color mixer.

Ruben kept staring at Samantha and gave her so much pressure that she felt it hard to breathe.

Samantha pretended to be calm, but she sunk her fingers into her skin.

Did Ruben have doubts?

But she didn't care. She couldn't help but provoke them once there was a chance.

Ruben wanted to say something else, but the beginning of the charity gala stopped him from talking.

Ruben fixed his gaze on Samantha all night.

It seemed that he wanted to see her through with his cold and sharp gaze.

Few people knew the situation of the Moore family, but Ruben would not suspect her as Samantha. If she was, Gabriel would have known that.

Ruben was confused. He felt that there was something more complicated in her cold eyes when she talked about Samantha.

Ruben took her as Samantha in an instant.

But she and Samantha weren't not alike.

Though they had similar personalities, Ruben could see love in Samantha's eyes.

But Ruben couldn't see the love in her eyes.

Samantha felt this charity gala boring. Ruben had never taken her to such an occasion, so she felt that she was not worthy of him. However, now she knew that the charity gala was for those who had succeeded to make a show.

Few people came here to give charity.
