Nemesis Game

Chapter 29 Showing True Colours

She then looked into his eyes that seemed like they wanted to kill her and gobble her up.

“Hmph.” Ruben pushed her away harshly. She stumbled and he didn’t move an inch.

He took out a blue handkerchief from his suit pocket. He wiped his mouth slowly and stared at

Samantha. His gaze was as sharp as a scalpel as if he wanted to cut her open.

“Ruben, let’s go.” Peyton noticed the peculiar air around them. She wanted to quickly pull him away.

Ruben looked at Peyton, and fireworks were setting off in his dark eyes.

“Stay away from her from now on, don’t get bitten by some dog.” He didn’t forget to shame Samantha

again.

He turned around and left, and threw his handkerchief on the ground.

As if he was trying to say that he didn’t want anything that was touched by Samantha.

Because it was filthy.

Peyton smiled and got into the car with Ruben.

Samantha felt a sharp pain in her heart seeing those two left hand in hand. She was smiling prettily but

the sorrow in her eyes was profound.

The handkerchief fell onto the dirty ground. She stared at it blankly. She was breaking into million

pieces, bloody all over.

He left.

He left just like that.

He cleaned his lips with the handkerchief and threw it away out of disgust because she kissed him.

She was dirty in his eyes.

She found it was hard to breathe as if a rusty saw was sawing her body. There wasn’t any blood, but it

was agonizing.

Her surrounding turned quiet, so quiet it was deafening.

“Helena, let’s go. You shouldn’t act so rashly.” Clara came back to her senses after everyone left.

It was so stimulating.

Helena was probably the only person in the world who dared to do something like that. But Clara was

more surprised at Ruben’s attitude. He was forcefully kissed… She wanted to know what was the limit

of Ruben’s tolerance.

Samantha was in a daze, she couldn’t hear anything Clara said.

She stared at the handkerchief and was motionless like a statue.

Finally, she walked robotically and tensely. She walked towards the handkerchief.

She squatted down and picked it up with her trembling hands.

As if she picked up a treasure, she patted the dust away carefully not caring that it would dirty her

hand.

Her movements were outlandish and she looked sick in the head,

“Ruben… It didn't matter that it was me from before, or me right now. You are just so heartless either

way,” she muttered, her eyes were colourless.

She acted undisturbed and delighted in front of him, but now she was soulless.

How could she not feel hurt? It hurt when he threw the handkerchief away.

She felt like he mashed her heart and threw it into the valley,

She couldn't breathe.

How dare they treated her like that. She came back to take back what belonged to her.

She told herself many times that she shouldn’t wish to get back together with Ruben,

He wouldn’t love her. He would never.

But she couldn’t control herself when she saw him.

She was green with jealousy whenever she saw him getting intimate with Peyton. She wanted to

destroy them with all her might.

That was why she did what she did just now.

She would be elated if Peyton was unhappy.

But she realized that she was just a loser.

“Helena, don’t be like this. Let’s go. Didn't you say that you wanted to eat spicy hot pot? I’ll order it for

you.” Clara quickly went up to her. Her pretty face was filled with worry.

Samantha grabbed the handkerchief tightly as if she could feel his warmth and his scent like that.

Her heart was hurting.

“Clara…it hurts.” Samantha looked up and stared at the sun. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Clara hugged her and said, “Don’t be too sad. I’ll buy you food, don’t be sad over some useless man.”

Samantha felt like she was struggling in quicksand, Clara’s hands were saving her out of it.

She grabbed Clara’s hand tightly and tried to get some strength from her.

But her body trembled uncontrollably.

…

On the car.

“I saw the news,” said Ruben calmly.

Peyton was scared, “Sorry that I disappointed you…”

“Do you want to get the leading role? I can help you. A person like that does not deserve the leading

role,” said Ruben as he looked at her and smiled.

Helena was such a dirty whore. She wasn’t deserving of becoming a celebrity.

He didn’t know that if he was trying to make up to Peyton, because he kept thinking about the forceful

kiss from just now.

Peyton’s eyes flickered, but she quickly hid it.

“No need, I don’t want to trouble you. I can deal with the issues in the entertainment industry myself. I

always played the main character, it could be a good opportunity to challenge myself by trying the

supporting role. And also… I know that your mother doesn’t like that I’m in the entertainment industry…

I don’t want it to be awkward for you,” said Peyton, but she was ultra ecstatic deep inside.

Why would she not want to play the leading role? She would die for it.

But she needed to act like she was a humble person in front of Ruben.

“Oh, my mom came back from overseas a few days ago. She wants to see you.” Ruben’s tone of voice

turned irritated with the mentioning of his mother.

Peyton got nervous, “Your mother is finally willing to see me?”

Did that mean that there was hope for her to marry into the Knight family?

She didn’t know why the old Mrs Knight hated her. Samantha probably drugged her or something. Even

after she died, the old Mrs Knight didn’t accept her into the family.

Hatred was brewing inside of Peyton just by thinking about the old Mrs Knight and her being against

the marriage.

“Yeah.” He tried to change the topic, and he wasn’t even bothered to answer Peyton.

After a while, he said out of nowhere, “Do you think that… Helena feels similar to that person?”

It was so familiar that it was constantly at the back of his head.

He investigated her and couldn’t find anything. The person’s identity was flawless.

And this made him even more suspicious.

“No…why?” Peyton’s heart skipped a beat.

Why was he starting to care about Helena? No! That couldn’t happen! She had to teach her a lesson

once the filming started!

Helena the shameless bitch. She kissed him right in front of her!

Great.

If she was so shameless, she would give her an eye for an eye during the filming.

Ruben looked at Peyton and didn’t say anything. He then looked away.

…

Soon, it was time for Samantha to start her job. She didn’t see him after the kiss last time as if he was

never there.

In the middle of the night, Samantha couldn’t sleep thinking about that kiss.

She looked in the mirror and shook her head. She should stop thinking about unnecessary things and

do her job seriously.

She didn’t want the whole internet to berate her.

“Clara, could you pass me the script? I want to take a look at it again.” She had time before the filming.

She needed to be serious since today was her first day.

She revised her lines and prepared herself thoroughly.

Samantha was playing the main character named Lillian Scott in “Be Passionately Devoted”. This show

was different from the others, the main character was resurrected in the story.

She was happy when she first saw the script as it felt similar to what was happening to her.

Lillian was the daughter of a Chinese medicine doctor. Her grandfather was a physician to the royal

family. Lillian lived in City C and was a famous genius doctor.

Lillian and the male protagonist, Kayden Green, were engaged, but her sister Elsie Scott was also in

love with Kayden. This supporting character didn’t like that their grandfather gave everything to her

sister. She paid someone and got her sister raped just before she got married. The whole City C knew

about the incident.

But the Greens still accepted her sister into the family because they wanted to use her as she was a

genius.

The main character thought that the male protagonist really loved her and didn’t mind the fact that she

got raped shortly before they got married. She used her family influence and paved the way for him.

But when she gave birth, he killed their child. The main character finally found out that the male

protagonist and her sister were in cahoot all this time. They were lying to her all this time, using her

skills and family influence for him. She only found out in the end that her sister was the one that hired

the people to rape her!

The supporting character tortured the main character to death. The main character was then

resurrected!

It was a show about revenge after coming back to life.

Samantha felt like she was in the same situation as the main character, and they were equally RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

miserable!

The first scene today was about the main character going to a plagued town, trying to heal the

refugees.

It was when the supporting character bought the people to harass her!

Samantha thought that this was way too much of a coincidence.

Peyton paid some people to harass her back then, but she almost shot herself in the foot.

“Helena it’s your turn. Get ready.”

The movie set was set up and the director on the set put up an “OK” signal with his hand.

Helena stood up and walked into the set.

“This is a harassment scene. It is crucial, can you do it well? Should I explain the script to you?”

Peyton who got her makeup done walked over, and her eyes were vicious.

Today, she wanted Samantha to pay for what she did!

If she liked to kiss random guys so much, she would let her kiss them as much as she liked today.

Samantha met her eyes and felt her animosity, she smiled.

“I understand that Ms. Moore had experience with such a scene. It would be marvellous if you were to

act in this scene since you had experience with something like this.”

She was hinting that she knew Peyton almost got raped once.

There were so many people around. Peyton’s face was twisted in anger!
