Nemesis Game novel Chapter 61

He was so determined to leave that he didn't even look back at the young woman behind him who was in the rain. Did he know how painful and desperate her eyes were?

He didn’t know...

Everyone was being attentive and caring for Peyton, while Samantha, the genuine daughter of the family, was kneeling on the ground in the rain like a dog.

She was isolated by everyone in the Moore family, including him. He never gave her a smile.

Therefore, she had become more and more withdrawn, and she always looked at people indifferently.

Perhaps, he now understood why Samantha always expressed disdain to the Moore family.

She used to look forward to it with true heart, but no one cherished her.

Then she gave up and she became defensive. Those people who wanted to get close to her would easily get harmed by her.

She was like a walking hedgehog.

She was inflicted with the utmost malicious speculation by her biological parents.

And the person who caused all this was Peyton, who he always believed!

He would believe if anyone said that Samantha was bullied by Nia, but he couldn't accept that Peyton who was so nice to Samantha, would be the one who started it all!

Although it was the act of fighting for attention at a young age, the motive was too ... vicious.

He really couldn't imagine the malevolence related to Peyton's angelic face.

Peyton who was still crying in aggravation, ran over and pulled Ruben's arm, "Ruben, Nia is just saying nonsense, don't believe her. I didn't do these things, and you have to believe me."

Peyton was really scared, although these things were insignificant, but in the end, Ruben saw her dark side.

If he tracked down, then would everything she had done before be revealed?

Ruben, like a soulless statue, stared coldly at Peyton, as if his eyes could burn Peyton's face.

Peyton also held her breath, and her tears already welled up in her eyes.

It was a very pity look.

The prerequisite was he didn’t know that she had done these things before.

Ruben looked at her with gentle gaze stroking throughout every inch of her face.

He couldn’t understand why Peyton, who had always been kind-hearted, would do such a thing.

Peyton cried and begged over and over again. She was afraid that Ruben wouldn’t believe her.

Meanwhile, Samantha stood quietly on the side, waiting for Ruben's answer.

She wanted to see what he would do and say after knowing everything.

Would he return justice to her? Or would he ... believe Peyton without hesitation and firmly believed that Nia was lying?

The air seemed to fall into a long silence. She and Peyton were both tense, eager to hear something from Ruben's mouth.

She focused her eyes on his handsome face for a long time and not willing to leave for a moment. She was very nervous.

At this moment, she began a long wait. Every minute and every second of time passed was an unspeakable torment for her.

She was like a prisoner waiting for the judge to pronounce a sentence.

Finally.

Ruben opened his mouth. His cold voice was like the white snow was falling outside of the window. The coldness extended inch by inch to the deepest part of her heart.

Ruben who whole body filled with hostility scolded Nia on the side.

"Nia, what are you talking about in public? Is this how you hurt people with your words?"

Nia's face was shocked and she shuddered in fear, looking at Ruben in disbelief.

Samantha was even more shocked, she felt that her strength was slowly drained, the blood in her body froze into ice in an instant, and even her heart stopped beating.

At the time of hearing his voice, she heard in a trance something had fallen from a high altitude to the ground, the sound of shattering was deafening.

Her heart was cold and painful as if it was pierced by millions of arrows.

Her soul seemed to be torn apart, tears desperately burst out from her eyes, and the burning temperature scalded her heart.

She couldn't believe Ruben still spoke up for Peyton.

She seemed to have fallen into the ice cellar. The figures of the people around her became blurred, tears welled up in her eyes, and she suddenly wanted to cry out loud in this moment.

Ruben had never believed her!

"Ruben, I swear, I'm telling the truth! I swear!" Nia thought Ruben didn't believe her words.

Once these words were spoken, Ruben's eyes got even colder and his words were as cold as ice too.

"Shut up!" He stopped Nia's words.

Nia was jaw-dropping, she didn’t expect that Ruben would believe Peyton to this extent.

Peyton's face was beaming with joy, and she was moved to tears.

"Ruben, thank you for believing me." She said excitedly.

Luckily ... everything was just a false alarm.

Ruben lowered his head and talked to Peyton, while Samantha who was watching from afar, turned around decisively and walked out without a moment's hesitation.

She left in dark night and step by step, walking into the deepest night.

It was like, step by step, walking into the abyss of despair.

At this point, Ruben still believed Peyton.

Despite with overwhelming evidence, he still stood up for Peyton and believed Peyton.

Whereas as for her, included her old self was just a big joke.

She didn’t want to believe that it was true but now she had to believe it.

The noise of the banquet hall was far away, her heart was like being stabbed. She was like a homeless cub, wretchedly running out of the banquet hall, but didn’t know where to go, and could only licking its bleeding wounds in the darkness.

Once, she could still fool herself that he believed Peyton was because he didn't know the truth!

She deceived herself over and over again, but now?

He knew the truth, but he still chose to defend Peyton.

Her last glimmer of love and attachment to him seemed to begin to disappear slowly in this agony.

She won't love him anymore.

It was impossible for a lifetime!

From now on, her world was filled with only cold hatred!

He humiliated her, ignored her, and hurt her.

She wanted to use the knife in her hand to stab him fiercely into his heart!

"Ruben Knight!" She closed her eyes in pain and held her palms on the cold wall, her nails scraping across the hard stone wall, leaving some clear marks.

Her nails were broken, yet she could not feel the pain.

Her life was full of pain and sorrow, what else was she afraid of?

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands put on her shoulders.

Suddenly she was hugged by someone from the back. Such a hot warmth gave her a sense of trust.

She didn't struggle, but just wept helplessly.

Her thin body leaned on his broad embrace, she seemed to have found someone to rely on.

She reached out and grabbed his arm tightly, her face was horribly white.

Gabriel's handsome face was hidden in the dim, showing his gloomy face.

He embraced the woman's exquisite body with his strong arm, his face slightly sank and his voice was like a clear breeze.

"Don't cry, I will always be with you."

She started crying fiercely.
