Nemesis Game novel Chapter 58

The look that Ruben gave Peyton made her felt both aggrieved and angry. Two extremely complicated emotions intertwined, causing her eyes to redden slightly.

How could Ruben look at her like that for that bitch Helena Powell?

Peyton didn’t bother if Caelan did beat that woman. Even better off if it disfigured that bitch’s face! That would be the only way to relieve the hatred in her heart!

“Ruben,” Peyton walked over and lowered her eyes aggrievedly.

Ruben’s gaze was only moved for a moment. His look expressed sharpness and clarity towards everything, making it unavoidable.

“Caelan is your brother, he represents the Moore family’s every word and deed. What was he even thinking by hitting people in public?”

Caelan was raging inside. He was just helping his sister, how did it become that he was messing around in Ruben’s eyes?

Moreover, he would never forget that Samantha slapped him twice before. That scene was still vivid in his memory.

“Ok.” Peyton said with a hoarse voice and her eyelashes trembled.

She didn’t argue nor did she explain. She just calmly excepted it which made people looked more highly of her.

She pretended to be frail and aggrieved on purpose just so that Ruben would take pity on her.

A woman’s tears were the most powerful weapon.

Samantha had long known what kind of woman Peyton was, so she wasn’t surprised.

Peyton was a goody two shoes, so she had to act more like it.

Even Samantha thought Ruben would take pity on Peyton. After all, they were close.

But he looked at Peyton with a complicated gaze and spat out a cold sentence.

“You acted out of line.”

Ruben then dragged confused Samantha into the banquet hall after leaving that sentence.

Samantha didn’t understand a word he said. But when she lifted her head in a trance, she noticed somber and loneliness shrouding on Ruben’s face.

Those emotions were not supposed to appear on him.

Samantha read misery that she had never seen before from Ruben’s lips.

What was wrong with him?

Peyton turned her head and watched them walked away hand in hand, her fingernails embedded deep in her flesh.

Immense hatred erupted in Peyton’s eyes.

She acted out of line?

How had she acted out of line?

What she simply did was used Nia to get Samantha to attend tonight’s dinner party and let her be humiliated.

How was that being out of line?

Did Ruben know that she did all of this?

But what’s the big deal even if he did, Peyton didn’t feel she was at fault.

Every time she saw Ruben’s gaze pouring on Samantha, every second of it drove her crazy enough to kill!

With a dinner party as grand as tonight’s, Samantha was definitely not worthy enough to attend with her status.

Gabriel wouldn’t be stupid enough to invite her.

Peyton deliberately told Nia about the scandal between Gabriel and Samantha, and with Nia arrogance, she won’t be able to tolerate it.

Nia was the only person who had access to Gabriel’s driver, so it took no time to lure Samantha over.

Nia knew that Gabriel would never acknowledge Samantha’s identity. She just wanted to take advantage of tonight’s banquet to tell everyone the fact that Gabriel’s wife would only be her!

Anyone who dared to hit on Gabriel would have to deal with her first.

That was Peyton’s way of getting back at Samantha.

How could a fool like Nia realized that she was used?
