Nemesis Game novel Chapter 45

After hearing these words, Peyton was dumbfounded, aggrieved and angry, and she was very sad.

When she was slapped by the old Mrs Knight, she did not dare to get angry. When she was scolded by the old Mrs Knight, she could not refute.

She had never suffered a loss in her life, but she was totally defeated by the old Mrs Knight!

What the old Mrs Knight said was clear enough.

Ruben could marry anyone except her.

Did that mean her killing Samantha would end up helping others?

No, she would never accept it!

Seeing the change of Peyton's eyes, the old Mrs Knight sneered, "Well, it's late at night. Miss Moore shall go back to rest now. You are a big star in the spotlight. Be careful when you are with my son. If there is gossips about my from any media, you’ll be in big trouble."

Was she asking her to leave?

Peyton was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself in a cave. The old Mrs Knight must be the most ruthless.

Ruben took the opportunity to wipe the blood on his forehead, "I'll drive her back."

Peyton was overjoyed, but instantly her joy dissipated because of what the old Mrs Knight said next.

"What? Doesn't Miss Moore have a driver? Does she need you to drive her in person?" The old Mrs Knight looked at her son faintly, with helplessness and resentment in her eyes.

Samantha was such a good girl. How can the fire of the mental hospital be so coincidental?

Peyton's face turned red with shame. "No, I'll go back first and call upon Aunt another day.

Peyton walked away staggering with her bag in her hand, as if there were cannibals here.

It was not until Peyton left that atmosphere in the living room was eased up.

But the old Mrs Knight obviously did not intend to let it go.

"Peyton is innocent, you should not take it out on her," Ruben said, looking down.

Although he was the president of the Knight group, who could call the shots, but when he returned to the Knight's house, he was the filial son in front of the old Mrs Knight.

The old Mrs Knight devoted herself to raising him on her own, which took a lot of hard work.

"If I don’t take it out on her, should I take it out on you?" Raising her eyebrows, the old Mrs Knight asked seriously.

Ruben choked and asked with deep eyes, "Mom, what exactly do you want?"

"Nothing." Mrs Knight said and seemed to mean something, "I heard that the Samantha’s brother came to you in the Knight Group. Are you OK? "

"Now you are caring about me." Ruben said as he suddenly thought of Helena.

The old Mrs Knight smiled softly, "Aren't you alright? I heard that there was a Helena who shielded you. "

Mrs Knight smiled and seemed to mean something. Ruben asked, squinting his eyes, "What’s your point?"

Without replying him, the old Mrs Knight changed the topic and took out a red invitation letter from her handbag.

"A month later, it's the old Mrs Baker's birthday party. You attend on behalf of me."

Ruben refused directly, “No.”

"There's no choice, you have to go." The old Mrs Knight's attitude was as strong as ever.

Actually, she and Ruben were quite close. They were more like friends than mother and son.

Ignoring how her son felt, the old Mrs Knight was satisfied that her purpose had been achieved.

"I’ll go first. There’s a gift I left in the room. It is for Helena. Thank her for saving your life."

The old Mrs Knight walked out in her high heel, leaving Ruben alone in the room and his eyes widened.

Gifts?

He couldn’t believe that her mother, who rarely came back, would brought Helena a gift.

Thank her for saving his life?

Needless to say, his mother must have found out the background of Helena.

"Samantha. Where is she buried? " The old Mrs Knight, who came to the entrance, suddenly stopped. Her voice was a little dumb. "I’ll see her tomorrow."

A sadness flashed across Ruben's eyes, and he said lightly,

"The Oliver Public Cemetery."

The old Mrs Knight took a breath to conceal the grief in her eyes, and asked softly.

"Do you regret it?"

Her voice was too light, like a gust of wind, which brought a chill penetrating the bone marrow.

Do you regret it?

Ruben stood in the light with a gloomy look, thinking about the question from Mrs Knight.

These words, like a knife soaking in the cold pool, stabbed at his heart.

The cold pain began to spread.

Did he regret it?

What did he regret? Did he regret putting her in a mental hospital? Or did he regret that he failed to save her and she couldn’t give birth the child?

He didn't know.

……

Samantha took a taxi to the Knight's house. The taxi and a low-key but lexury car pass by each other. Through the window, she saw the old Mrs Knight sitting in the car.

Although she was far away from her, Samantha recognized the old Mrs Knight at a glance.

Mrs Knight was nice to her, but she seldom came back to the country. She was unable to help her even if she wants to ask for help.

If she had asked for help from the old Mrs Knight, her child...
