Nemesis Game novel Chapter 42

It was as if time had stopped the moment she said that.

Peyton couldn’t take it. Her eyes were cold and venomous, but she gritted her teeth and maintained her calm appearance.

The crew heard what Samantha said and noticed that Peyton didn’t have a good look in her eyes, she looked suspicious and odd.

Peyton wanted to dig a hole and hide in it, she had never felt so embarrassed in her life.

Ruben inspected Samantha and he seemed dangerous as he said, “Why do you know so much about me, Ms. Powell?”

Samantha’s gut was trembling but she smiled, “Well, I heard it from someone. Wasn’t the person who died 3 months ago in the fire your wife, Mr. Knight?”

Samantha’s blood was boiling over every time she saw Ruben trusting Peyton and trying to protect her.

She didn’t know why she was acting like that, maybe she hadn’t let go of her feelings towards Ruben yet.

She wasn’t content.

She died once, but she still couldn’t steel her heart.

Ruben’s narrowed his eyes profoundly, the expression in his eyes turned stern, “Ha, good thing you and my wife have different faces. Otherwise, I would’ve thought that she came back to life to haunt me!”

The crowd was whispering, they understood that Peyton was really Ruben’s sister-in-law.

Samantha broke into a cold sweat after hearing what Ruben said. She pursed her lips and controlled her emotions, her voice was coarse as she said, “You so funny, Mr. Knight. How could I be Mrs. Knight?”

“Then you should shut your trap.” Ruben’s face turned tremendously dark.

He was telling Samantha if she wasn’t his wife, then she had no rights to add oil to the flame around here.

Samantha clenched her fist, her nervousness was agitating her. Her lips turned pale from being bitten, but her eyes were still fixed onto his cold face.

She wanted to expose his guise and slap him in the face.

Let him know that she was Samantha, the Samantha that they failed to kill!

But she held it in, she couldn’t let her impulsion ruin her efforts.

Her sharp nailed dug right into her palm but she couldn’t feel any pain. She met his cold eyes and she felt like her heart had fallen into the abyss.

Her death meant nothing to him.

Her death only made it possible for him to be happy forever after with Peyton.

She hated them, she hated them to death.

Just as she was about to lose control of her emotions, a warm large palm grabbed her cold shivering hand.

She was startled. As she looked up, she saw a pair of beautiful and clear cherry-blossomed eyes.

Mateo held her hand and gave her strength. Samantha didn’t feel like saying anything more at that moment, she just felt that… She would run to the person at full speed no matter who they were if they were to give her warmth when she was feeling isolated and helpless.

They closed into each other, but the crowd didn’t notice them.

Though Ruben and Peyton saw it all. Ruben glanced at Samantha’s red eyes, he looked down and saw them holding hands. He felt oddly mad.

She was indeed a bitch. She promised to be his lover but was still seducing others.

So this is the person that intrigued Gabriel.

Peyton bit her lips and tried to explain herself looking all wronged, “Helena, don’t spout nonsense. We didn’t get along very well during the set, but why would you shame me like this? Ruben was nice to me because he was my brother-in-law.”

Peyton was skilled in arguing, in a split of an eye she returned Samantha the favour and tarnished her name instead. And it was worse than what Samantha did.

People were discussing in the background, “What was Helena trying to say? There’s no big deal having a meal with your brother-in-law.”

“They were just normal in-laws but Helena called it an affair.”

“Some people are just rude like that, always thinking bad about others.”

“The sister died and the brother-in-law treated the younger sister nicely. It only proved that Mr. Knight was still in love with his wife, right?”
