Nemesis Game

Chapter 56 She Was Mine

Ruben appeared suddenly like a god. He seemed like a god walking from the clouds with his arrogant

expression.

All of the audience was in a silence and everyone's face changed drastically out of the blue.

Peyton Moore who was very proud before looked so shocked and unpleasant!

Her pure and beautiful face was full of shock and horror at that moment.

There was someone taking a deep breath and spoke in disbelief, “It's impossible… The CEO of the

Knight Group and Miss Peyton are childhood sweethearts, how come he brings other woman here?”

“Yes, especially this woman is also a star who was having rumors with Mr. Baker not long ago. What is

going on with them?”

“Stop saying that, I'm dumbfounded, what is this and that?”

The sound of the discussion reached the ears of the people but Ruben just ignored all the noise and he

was walking to the crowd at his leisurely pace of footsteps.

His tall body was tall and straight. He looked like a landscape by standing there.

Samantha lifted her head stiffly. Her surprisingly gaze stuck on the Ruben's grim face.

His appearance was out of her prediction.

How could he come? Why did he say something good for her? What was he going to do?

At that moment, thousands of speculations flashed through Samantha’s mind but in the end she could

only stare at Ruben who was approaching her in stiffness. She couldn't even move her eyes and she

was totally stunned.

But after the shock, she suddenly found that she was feeling very sad in her heart. The damp heat in

her eyes became hotter and hotter as if something was about to fall from her eyes.

Just as she was having the thought that she would be in a desperate situation, someone appeared

without any sign and saved her from the embarrassment.

What kind of mood was that?

Was it a blessing to escape from the death? Or should she be deeply touched?

However, the person who appeared was him.

Why was it he? However, she was also glad that the person was him. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Her battered heart was hit hardly.

Gabriel’s solemn expression became calm after he saw the appearance of Ruben.

Nia was scared under Ruben’s stern gaze and she took a step back subconsciously. Maybe his aura

was too strong that Nia who was domineering just now turned stutter a bit.

“Ruben… How would it be possible that she was brought by you?” Nia is the apple of the Jackson

family’s eyes. There were too many sons in the Jackson family and Nia was the only granddaughter in

the family. Thus, she was pampered and spoiled by the family since young. She would get anything

she wished but she was afraid of Ruben who was known as the iron-blooded Yama!

Mrs. Knight’s family wasthe Jackson family in City S so Nia and Ruben were actually relatives.

When Ruben came, the person who was pointing at Samantha just now stopped speaking but his sight

was staying in between them. He was so curious that he could not stop wishing to take off her shirt and

just wanted to know more about it!

Ruben looked at Nia coldly and the corner of his lips was curved upward a bit, “Don't you just want to

drive her away?”

Samantha grabbed her skirt in anxiety. She was feeling more and more uneasy. She didn't feel the joy

of escaping from the death but she felt even more uncomfortable.

What did he mean to help her?

Nia gaze swept across Samantha’s pale face and she smiled suddenly, “Ruben, don't get angry with

me… How do I know that she is your partner? If I knew that she was brought by you, it’s for sure that I

dare not blast her out even if I lent courage from others!”

Nia, the little princess finally bowed her head.

Ruben’s demeanor stunned the rioting audience. His breath was like a cold weaving net that enveloped

everyone in it.

Ruben retracted his gaze and walked to Samantha. Then, he put his arms around her waist and

embraced her in his arms. There was still a deep coldness in between his eyebrows and eyes.

“Why are you running here and there? You can cause trouble even with just a necklace?” His voice

was deep and husky.

Samantha was tense like a stone, the muscles of her face were contracting. She looked at him in shock

and she even forgot to speak.

What necklace did he take? It was obvious that she was not brought by him but he was helping her

now.

However, Samantha really couldn't figure out the reason.

“Thank you.” Samantha was looking at the smile on his face which seemed true and fake. Then, she

slowly recovered from the surprise.

It was false to tell people that she was not touched when she saw him at that moment.

But she would not be narcissistic and had the opinion that he wanted to help her sincerely, he must

have some purposes on it.

That was all because that he hated her so much!

Those guests who guessed her identity did not expect that she was really brought by Ruben and they

were slightly stunned.

Someone began to speak, “It turned out that she was the person brought by Mr. Knight, it was just

misunderstanding…”

“Mr. Knight, please come in.” Gabriel stepped forward and invited him politely.

Ruben put his hands on her shoulders casually and broke into her world in such domineering way. The

temperature of his palms seemed to penetrate into her bones deeply as if to engrave him into her flesh

and blood.

Her lips twitched and her throat became astringent.

Ruben’s tall and straight body blocked some of the unkind sight from others for her and the space

under his arms had become her only safe haven at that time.

That was so ironic.

Peyton who was not cared by him and being left at the side was filled with anger and hatred. Her sight

became more and more venomous which even couldn't be hid.

When Caelan Moore saw that scene, he was furious and came out instantly to make a fuss, “Ruben,

what do you mean? My sister is your fiancee. Are you going to hold this actress and intend to

embarrass my sister?”

His roar made those gazes fall on Peyton again.

Yes, Ruben and Peyton were childhood sweethearts. How could her role be replaced by an actress?

Caelan’s eyes were bursting with flames as if he was going to tear Samantha into pieces.

Ruben’s complexion became gloomy suddenly and a storm was brewing in his black eyes.

His palm that he placed on her shoulder seemed to insert into her skin and flesh.

Samantha was in pain. She bit her lip with strength without saying a word.

“Caelan!” Peyton pulled the person to her back anxiously and she pretended to be generous, “What are

you talking about? It's just for socialization, don't be foolish.”

After listening to Peyton’s explanation, the guests nodded their heads with praise.

Peyton was such a generous woman. Her fiance brought other woman to the banquet and she still had

to find excuses for him.

She was such a broad-minded woman.

Caelan didn't know her meaning. “Peyton, why are you saying good words for him? This woman steals

your role and takes a real beat on you on the set. How can you still stand for it?”

Before this, the guests didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry. But since Smantha

turned out to be too eye-catching, they suddenly recalled of today's hot topic after Caelan talked about

it,.

“It turns out that she is the heroine in the video, bitchy!”

“This person is too bitchy, I had no ideas what tricks did she used to seduce Mr. Knight!”

“Right? There was lots of comments online now, many people wanted her to get out, apologize and quit

the team!”

“If I was Peyton, I must have to find a pit and bury myself in it if I were the one who being beaten on the

set, how could I still stay in the entertainment industry?”

Suddenly, the air was boiled with noise.

The rumors were buckling on Samantha. No matter how calm and strong she was, she fell in a panic at

that moment.

Ruben’s eyes were getting even more frosty and the aura around him was as dangerous as a knife's

edge.

He was standing there like a huge vortex who was ready to suck people in and swallow them at any

time.

When all of the people were discussing about it, Gabriel who had been silent smiled of a sudden.

He stood with his hand on another hand at his back. His eyes seemed warm but the sword's edge was

hidden in reality.

“I think you all have misunderstood. How could Miss Peyton be Mr. Knight’s fiancee? Mrs. Knight’s wife

died in the fire three months ago! Not only that, Mrs. Knight is Miss Peyton’s sister, how could it be

possible for both of these sisters to share a husband?”
