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?

“I don’t see it.” Samantha provoked him on purpose and laughed coolly.

Ruben’s narrow eyes were as deep as a cold pool. His jaw intentionally or unintentionally brushed over her cheek while smiling lightly.

“I’m not going to watch others bully my dog--”

Although he was smiling, there was not a trace of temperature in his eyes, so cold that it was appalling.

The smile on Samantha’s lips froze and tears welled up in her eyes instantly. She closed her eyes slowly, forcing her tears back.

At this point, Ruben’s warm embrace no longer brought her strength to be calm, it was as if she fell into an endless abyss of ice.

It was bone-chilling cold.

Her breath seemed like it would freeze into frost, but no matter how cold it was, the pain in her heart was getting worse.

Ruben saved Samantha.

Not out of pity, but mockery.

He wasn’t going to watch and let others bully his dog.

This was the value of her existence.

Samantha woke up all of a sudden and all the gratefulness that she had before this all turned into irony.

How could he be kind?

He wouldn’t.

So, will she still be moved that easily?

She’s the most pathetic person in the world.

When Samantha opened her eyes again, the pain and tears in them had faded away, in its place were hints of hatred.

“You broke your beloved’s heart for a plaything like me, so was it me being a bitch or you’re being stupid, Mr. Knight?”
