The atmosphere at the scene was already reaching a high, but with Gabriel Baker’s explanation, it left everyone even more shocked.
Ruben Knight was married?
Mrs. Knight was the Moore family’s other daughter and she was already dead three months ago?
This can’t be right. When did Ruben even got married? Moreover, when did the Moore family have another daughter?
Can’t blame them for not knowing though, Samantha Powell went to prison right when she went back to the Moore family. The Moore family valued their reputation so they wouldn’t acknowledge Samantha’s identity to the public. Therefore, beside from a few parties, nobody knew that Peyton Moore was not their biological daughter.
The Moore family erased every little piece of information about Samantha’s existence for the sake of their own reputation.
And Gabriel decided to mention it now to provoke them.
“Oh my god! Mr. Knight was married!”
“Who’s the other daughter of the Moore family?”
“This is total shocking news, it’s absolutely shocking!”
Sounds of chatters rose and fell, temperature in the air dropped freezing cold almost instantly.
Peyton’s heart thudded violently. She was so shocked that her heart felt like fallen leaves in a strong wind and her bones felt like they were going to shatter!
How could Gabriel just say that out loud?
Peyton was so angry that her lips trembled. And she, who had always been eloquent could not even make a sound.
Whereas Ruben’s cold, blade-like eyes were fixed on Gabriel’s elegant face, exuding coldness and ruthlessness.
Ruben was angry.
Samantha was shocked too. She didn’t expect Gabriel to say about this matter publicly, he was still not Ruben’s opponent and what if he got dealt with by Ruben?
Gabriel wasn’t afraid of Ruben’s ruthless gaze, he smiled lightly and said, “A woman serving two husbands is going to be the laugh of the town.”
Samantha was quite nervous. Could you not provoke him, Gabriel?
At least let her survive this!
With how Gabriel exposed the whole event, there was no way the Moore family was going to let him off the hook easily.
“Mr. Baker,” said Ruben slowly, his tone bone-chilling cold.
The atmosphere went silent instantly. Between the two of them it was as if a dark tide was surging, and sparks were flying.
“How come that you’re so concerned about my family matters?” Ruben said while sneeringly glancing at Gabriel as he slowly let go of Samantha.
Nia who followed by Gabriel’s side was also trembling. She pulled Gabriel’s sleeve hoping that he would shut up, but Gabriel just ignored her.
“Are you angry Mr. Knight? I was just being kind enough to explain to the guests here so that they wouldn’t misunderstand your relationship with Miss Moore again. It wouldn’t look good if word got out right?” Gabriel said sarcastically.
Nia looked careless, she could almost think of her cousin’s thunderous rage.
She knew that Ruben married Samantha.
But Nia hated her. How could a woman who had been in prison get to marry her cousin? Samantha wasn’t worthy at all!
Caelan Moore voiced out angrily from the side, “What the hell are you talking about, Gabriel Baker? Where did the other daughter that you said came from? I only have one sister and that is Peyton Moore. The one that died had nothing to do with us Moore family!”
Caelan was too protective of Peyton. He couldn’t stand to see anyone hurting her.
But every word that he had said were like a sharp knife that pierced right into Samantha’s heart.
There was no blood, pain was the only thing that spread continuously.
Tears were in her eyes almost instantly.
The one that died… was nothing.
Samantha was treated this cruelly by this so-called family even when she’s dead.
But the truth was, she was the Moore family’s biological daughter!
How did it become like this? Samantha was unwilling to accept it.
