Nemesis Game novel Chapter 77

Samantha was stunned as if she had lost consciousness, she was looking at Iris Lane in shock and horror.

Samantha’s lips moved, but not a single sound came out.

Coldness slowly seeped out from deep within her skin, and her teeth clenched tightly.

Termination of contract? Universal Entertainment was going to terminate their contract with her now?

“Iris—” Samantha opened her mouth to try and explain.

She had come over here, but was it all for nothing?

No, this was something that Samantha would never allow to happen.

Iris elegantly straightened her shawl and said nonchalantly, “You don’t need to go to Gabriel anymore, this is the decision of all of us from Universal Entertainment. I’m informing you ahead, Universal Entertainment will transfer the compensation for the breach of the contract to you tomorrow.”

“Iris, what I wanted was never the breach of contract damages!” Samantha was really anxious; she didn’t expect that Iris’s threat last time would become a reality.

Iris looked at Samantha, her two eyes shot out a cold and compelling gaze, “I know what you want is not breach of contract damages, what you want is more. No matter what you say, I don’t want to repeat myself. The female lead will be changed for sure, and if you’re smart, you will accept the breach of contract damages and leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless.”

Iris finished speaking and brushed right past Samantha. That gentle and elegant woman could also become stern and sharp, turning into a very different person from before.

Iris loved Gabriel, so she made her move to eliminate Samantha for the sake of Gabriel and Nia.

She should have thought that it would end this way.

Samantha watched as Iris turned and walked away, the strength in her body was drained all of a sudden. She took a few steps back, pressing her body against the cold wall.

Iris wasn’t discussing with her; she was informing her.

Samantha was no longer the female lead in the crew, so much of Gabriel’s previous foreshadowing had come to naught.

The redness of the skin on her face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, her lips pursed tightly, and her eyelashes trembled faintly.

The thing that she feared the most had finally happened.

Samantha was standing in this busy corridor of the hospital, but everything around her seemed to have nothing to do with her anymore.

She was almost about to rebound, and all of a sudden, she was knocked back to square one.

What could she do to get back at Peyton if she was no longer the female lead? How will she be able to carry out this revenge?

Samantha pushed open the ward door with a heavy heart. Even though she was sentenced to death, she still had to go in and ask Gabriel—was there really no chance for them in this matter?

She walked in with feeble steps and the cold air inside hit her, blowing her whole body cold and chilly making her heart go cold instantly.

That was why she didn’t even notice that Ruben didn’t keep up.

But regardless of where he was going, was Samantha capable of stopping him anyway?

“You’re here.” Gabriel was leaning against the pillow; a circle of gauze was still attached to his forehead. His gaze was gentle as usual as if he had expected her to come.

Samantha showed a smile that was worse than crying, and nodded, “How are you doing? Are you feeling better? Are you alright?”

When Samantha saw Gabriel who was injured, she felt a tinge of guilt inside and felt that it wasn’t good to come and trouble him again.

His situation in the Baker family was hard enough, but Samantha couldn’t think of any other good way other than him.

Gabriel patted the side of the bed, “I’m alright, come and sit down.”

Samantha complied and went over and sat on the edge of his bed.

She wanted to blurt out her distress several times, but she ended up not saying it.

Samantha looked distracted, but the corners of Gabriel’s mouth curved a little, and with a soft voice, “It’s my fault for not helping you at the banquet before, I’ve embarrassed you.”

Samantha didn’t expect Gabriel to actually apologize to her and she felt warm, “I know and I’m fine, I can’t blame you. If it wasn’t for Luke Baker running into me, things wouldn’t be the way they are today.”

Gabriel smiled as if there was a breeze blowing, “I’ve already asked someone to deal with the matter on social media.”

Samantha’s heart tightened, “So… am I really going to be replaced? Everyone doesn’t want me to be the female lead. If this matter really makes it difficult for you, then we can just change a method of revenge.”

Gabriel didn’t say a word, he just looked at her gently, his slender fingers lightly closed into a ball, and his pair of amber eyes looked like shining stars.

Gabriel’s warm voice sounded, “What are you thinking about?”

The next moment, he reached out in a sudden and pulled Samantha into his arms, his fingers brushing over her furrowed brows, eyes suffused with wisps of affection.

“Who said anything about replacing you?” Gabriel lighted curved the corners of his lips, smiling meaningfully.

Samantha stiffly leaned against Gabriel’s chest, raising her eyes incredulously, “I’m not getting replaced?”

But Iris had made it so clear just now, was Gabriel going to go against the entire Baker Group for her?

The gentleness of his fingertips was still lingering on Samantha’s face, it cast a stone in her heart and stirred up countless ripples.

“No one can stop me from doing what I want.” Gabriel breathed deeply, “You will still be the female lead, and nothing will change.”

“Then what price will you need to pay?” Samantha wasn’t feeling delighted; she was nervous and apprehensive instead.

Gabriel tightened his voice, and his right hand held onto Samantha’s cold hands, rubbing them.

“This isn’t something that you should worry about. Just remember that you owe me a great favor, and when the time comes where you get what you want—” Gabriel’s tone was tired all of a sudden, but the elegance between his handsome eyebrows was still hard to conceal, “You have to pay me back the favor!”

As soon as those words hit, the air in the ward froze instantly. The atmosphere was surrounded with a hint of unknown meaning.

Samantha’s pupils tightened as she understood the deep meaning in Gabriel’s words, “What do I have that I can repay you?”

“You have.” Gabriel pressed onto her wrist; his finger pointed on her red lips. He ignored Samantha’s strange and shocked eyes, “Only you can do it in this whole world.”

“And what is it?” Samantha voiced out the doubts in her heart.

What was so special about her to Gabriel? Why would he prefer to pay such a price to promote her instead of choosing another person?

Was she really that important?

“Now is still not the time to tell you yet.” Gabriel changed the topic, not wanting to tell her the plan.

Samantha was an indispensable pawn in this chess game of his.

She alone could counterbalance Ruben Knight.

“Gabriel, I don’t know why but I feel scared inside when you look at me like this.” Samantha’s voice trembled a little when she’s facing this person who saved her.

People’s first instinct was never wrong. Gabriel was always gentle, but now he seemed to be wearing a mask and no one will know what he really looked like under that mask.

Gabriel restrained the look between his eyebrows, his fingers slowly stroked past Samantha’s eyes, “I will keep your place, but you shouldn’t ask about other things.”

“No matter what you want in return, I will always remember that I owe you a great debt of gratitude.” Samantha clenched her fist uneasily, lowering her head, and said that sentence one word at a time.

Gabriel lifted his head to look out the window at the sky, the golden sunlight filled his eyes. He slowly opened his mouth, his voice sounded like it came from the distant past.

“I want you to remember my great kindness.”

From now on, live and die for me!
