Nemesis Game novel Chapter 67

Although Samantha Powell pretended very well, the moment she heard his words she broke out in cold sweat. Her heart beat heavily. She had never experienced such feeling of nervousness, tension and anxiety.

Did he know it was her trick? But why did he...

Her mind drifted and her jaw felt a sharp pain.

“Are you happy?” Ruben Knight’s eyes were burning hot.

He became captured unexpectedly by Samantha Powell today.

She challenged him again and again.

Samantha trembled and she tried to control her own emotions.

Ruben held the tip of her wrist, moved up and gripped her fingers tightly.

Her hand was wrapped by gauze and the moment he pressed her hand hard, she felt it was too painful to breathe.

Ruben had no pity, his eyes were like a cold viper gliding across her pale face.

“You must be very glad to have hurt her by using me? His voice was low but his manner was hard to be ignored.

Samantha felt stiff and her body became frozen; she said hoarsely, “and so what?”

Even in her extreme fear, she had no intention to continue to keep it secret anymore.

Her face was full of pride and rebellion, and at that moment she even made Ruben absent minded.

Like.

Very much like...

So high-profile and reckless was she, exactly the same as her who died.

He felt his heart was hit painfully, because he thought of Samantha.

He muttered, “Why...”.

He did not investigate the problem of her defaming Peyton Moore, but he showed a complex face.

Samantha only felt he was very ridiculous, “Why? Do you need to know why? This is the lesson to Peyton!”

Ruben pulled himself out of his memory and clamped her neck with his backhand. His eyes were shinning the light of cold blood.

“You’d better remember that I tolerate you and I indulge you, but that doesn't mean I don’t know the facts!” It should be Peyton who should be punished.

Samantha didn't expect the sudden action from him, she was pinched till her face turned white and her throat was aching.

She didn't struggle, but just lifted her eyes scornfully and the smile on her lips was provoking.

“Do you want.... what do you want?” her voice was dry.

Ruben’s fingertips were cold and they were nearly puncturing her flesh, “If there is a next time, I would get rid of your hands in person.”

Nobody even took advantage of him. Damn her!

At end of his words, he let go of his hand and slowly sat down on the other side of the table.

Samantha was like the fish without any oxygen, her pale and dry lips opened and breathed weakly. She pressed her chest uncomfortably and she couldn't stop coughing.

He said he would get rid of her hand because she had insulted Peyton once.

But Peyton had set her up so many times, yet he was still indifferent.

Why? She was disfigured by Peyton. Yet, Peyton was still fine.

She did not know where her courage came from and she growled at him with a crying voice.

“You can get rid of me, you’d better get rid of me! Let me burn into ashes like Samantha.

She rubbed her throat with her trembling hand, and her heart was twitching in pain.

She leaned on the window, looking at his cold expression. She felt miserable from the bottom of her heart.

Suddenly she despaired.

Perhaps, she might not be able to fight with Peyton all her life.

Because in front of Ruben, she had been always a loser.

Ruben did not show any emotion, he was watching her as a stranger.

He opened his thin mouth and spit out two words, without any change in his tone.

“Get lost.”

Such two simple words but it was like a sharp knife. Her heart was stabbed ruthlessly.

She was filled with sorrow and coldness, and she felt she was breathing with the smell of blood.

Samantha suddenly cried out, and tears poured down from the corners of her eyes. Her sight was blurred.

There was a mixture of pain and hatred in her eyes. After a period of silence, she pulled open the door of the car and walked down.

The summer night was cold She walked alone with weak steps in the empty streets.

She felt a faint chill when the night breeze blew on her cheek. And then her face was all with tears.

Ruben’s car drove past her quickly.

She felt her heart was crushed into ashes by that car and her nerves were all cut off.

She could not hold back the anguish of her despair, she slowly crouched down and wiped off the tears at the corners of her eyes.

“I’m not willing! God, do you hear me? I am not willing!”

All her sorrow and grievance became her desperate complaints.

The dark night was too long.

Right now, she was like at the 18th hell.

Can someone save her?

Her heart twitched and ached and she fell to the ground helplessly. Her messy long hair fell on her face side with a reflection of dim color.

She did not know how she walked back to Mirror Lake alone, and she felt her whole body had lost the strength. The soles of her feet were covered with blood blisters and she looked like a ghost who had lost her soul.

Clara Fraser was almost scared to death when he saw her standing there like a ghost after he opened the door.

“Samantha, what happened?” Clara Fraser looked at her with concerns.

This was such a simple greeting, however the brave Samantha cried like a child.

She rushed into Clara’s arms and held her hard.

Sometimes it’s not the sorrow or pain that defeats a person, but a few words after experiencing all the hardship and suffering... warm words.

The next day, there were still scolding remarks on the internet to let her leave the cast and also to make apologies to Peyton.

The hot online search had not gone off and it was not going to happen. The Universal Entertainment would not do the PR. But according to the current situation, it seemed that Universal Entertainment…had no plan to do any PR.

Samantha feared that something was wrong. Not long ago Peyton and her studio made a statement on the blog saying that there was no such thing as Helena Powell took the opportunity to revenge. Slapping was only needed for shooting. And, she deliberately defended Helena by saying she was really professional and she told the fans to cool down a little.

What Peyton had managed to do had made her own popularity rise widely. Her statement did not let her fans calm down but get more and more people to raid against Helena.

Once opening a web page randomly, there were hot search headlines on Helena, asking her to get out of the cast, to apologize!

Samantha found that Universal Entertainment had not taken any action, so she could not help guessing whether it’s Iris’s words had taken an effect. They were discussing whether to change her leading role.

When she thought of the problem, Samantha was too worried to eat anything. Additionally, the cast and crew director had announced three days holiday.

She had to stay at Mirror Lake and she had no filming at the moment.

Samantha thought a lot and she was unable to sit still to wait for her doom. She wanted to contact Gabriel Baker to take some solutions!

As soon as the call went through, she regretted.

The person who answered the phone was not Gabriel Baker, but that rich young girl who feared nothing, Nia!

“Helena, how do you still have the guts to call Gabriel? What do you want really? Are you trying to seduce him again?” Niashouted in a tender voice.

Even though it was across the phone screen, she could also felt Nia’s anger, “Miss Jackson, I’m looking for Gabriel on some work issues. Will you ___”

Nia cut off her words slightly, “if it’s because of the change of the leading role, then you do not need to find him. He can not save you. No one can save you!”
