Nemesis Game

Chapter 37 Be My Lover

Samantha's mind went blank as if she was struck by lightning.

"How could that be ... You can't do anything?"

Even Gabriel could not help her. Did it mean that it was impossible to save her brother?

Thinking that her brother was taken away by the police, she panicked.

Seeing Samantha grabbing his sleeve, Gabriel threw a deep gaze.

"Ask Ruben to withdraw the lawsuit if you want to help Stanley."

Samantha was desperate suddenly.

How could it be possible? Ruben was not willing to let go of Stanley easily.

Compared with making Ruben withdraw the lawsuit, it may be easier to quit the role and let Peyton

fulfill her promise.

She could do nothing with Ruben.

Gabriel held her cold hands with a reassuring look.

"I know it's hard. Ruben is a nightmare to you, but you should have the courage to defeat it."

Samantha looked at him at a loss and her body became stiff.

Was it the only way?

Compared with being humiliated by Peyton, she would rather choose to believe Ruben. Peyton may

break her promise, but Ruben wouldn't.

She was willing to do anything for her brother.

Only her brother and foster mother were her family.

She couldn't let her brother be sent to prison.

Thinking this way, Samantha made a decision. She closed her eyes and made a fist.

"Ruben."

"I will see you soon"

"Do you expect our meeting?"

...

Stanley was in the police station. Samantha was not clear about what happened there. After Gabriel

leave the hospital, she was discharged from the hospital.

However, she neither went back the set nor went to Mirror Lake.

She came to this place that was familiar to her. Staring at the luxurious villa that stood at night, she felt

a chill over her body.

Three months ago, she kneeled down to beg him like a dog.

Now, she had to come back here.

Did God like to tease her so much? She made every effort to avoid Ruben, but an invisible hand

seemed to control her.

The servants invited her into the villa with respect. She looked at the villa where she had lived before,

tears stood at the rim of her eyes.

She used to be the hostess here.

However, in Ruben's eyes, she was less than a dog.

When the past came to her mind, her eyesight was blurred.

"Mr Knight, what do you want to withdraw the lawsuit?" Samantha looked down, held back her tears

and put it bluntly.

Once she went in, she saw the man sitting on sofa and drinking coffee. The light in the living room was

a bit dim.

Ruben sat there, reserved and handsome. The elegance and gentleness of a noble man were shown

between his eyebrow.

The man's vibe was so strong that Samantha stepped forward slowly.

"Why do I withdraw the lawsuit?" Ruben looked up and stoke the lid of his tea cup.

Samantha stood in front, "Mr Knight, what do you want?"

Hearing that, Ruben's gaze turned cold and sullen. He said in a cold voice, "Is that the way you ask for

something? Even Gabriel doesn't have the guts to be so arrogant to me. What do you think you are?"

Ruben said slowly and seemed to strengthen her sense of fear.

Samantha looked pale but pretended to be calm, "It's my fault. So, please tell me, what can I do to

make you let go of Stanley? You treat him in this way. Aren't you afraid that Peyton will be mad at you?"

Ruben threw a sharp gaze, "Don't play tricks with me. You are naive to me."

Samantha's heart skipped a beat, "You've seen me through."

She felt a bit embarrassed but pulled herself together soon.

Ruben gave her a deep gaze and seemed to have some plans, "What rights do you have to ask me for

help? Tell me."

Ruben looked up and looked straight at this woman, who stared at her with stubborn and angry brown

eyes.

All of a sudden, he recalled her eyes with hatred yesterday.

She hated him so much. Why did she stand in front of him? She did so to mitigate Stanley's crime? But

... it may not be the truth.

"Mr Powell shouldn't have started the fight, but you didn't get hurt. Please forgive him..." Samantha

closed her eyes and became clear-minded when she opened her eyes.

She knew that Ruben would not agree that easily. What did he really want?

"I can make up for your injuries, no matter how much money you want."

Ruben sneered and raised his eyebrow with bruises in his forehead and cheeks, "Money?"

He looked at her as if she was a joke.

Samantha suddenly realized that Ruben was very rich. He didn't want the money but vent his anger.

She was not richer than him.

"No." Samantha shook her head, "If you are angry, just come at me. I'm willing to bear any

consequences."

Hearing that, Ruben lifted his dark eyes which were as cold as a frozen pond.

He curled his fingers and smiled indifferently, "Come here."

Samantha's hair stood on end. She felt that his smile and gaze sent a chill over her.

What did he want to do?

Thinking of that, she lifted her stiff legs and walked over stiffly.

As she stood, Ruben suddenly stood up and pinched her fair jaw with cold fingers.

She was surprised, her eyes twinkling.

He pinched her jaw with great force and said in a cold voice, "Gabriel asked you to get close to Peyton.

What do you want to do?"

Jesus...

Samantha trembled as the blood was rushing to the head. The man's words made she feel a quiver of

panic. She could hardly speak.

Did Ruben know that Gabriel exploited her to direct against Peyton?

When she panicked, the man stared at her eyes and said, "Or, to put it another way, why do you get

close to me?"

Ruben even knew that?

Samantha's heart was racing. Her eyes met the sharp gaze of the man, "So what?"

She was determined not to hide it but admit it.

"Are you afraid?" With that said, she curled her lips disdainfully.

Ruben threw a cold and deep gaze to her. He sneered, "Are you joking?"

"Am I wrong?" Samantha tolerated the pain from jaw and put on a pleasant smile, "Or, you are afraid of

being defeated by Gabriel..."

Ruben was silent and kept looking at this fearless woman.

Samantha felt nervous, but time passed slowly as if it was going against her.

She felt mad, anxious and worried as her expression kept changing.

When Samantha thought that Ruben would not answer her, he chuckled.

"You are provoking me?" He said in an unhurried way. Samantha felt her heart beating in her throat.

She was read by him!

"I cannot understand what you mean." Samantha knocked away his hand with a smile, "If you are

afraid, you'd better admit defeat."

"Very well." Even though Ruben was furious, he maintained an indifferent look and his voice was very

deep.

"You are really proud of Gabriel, but you'll pay the price for your false confidence in his ability."

"So?" Samantha tried to control her temper.

Ruben sat on the sofa and squinted at her with a sinister gaze. His voice was as cold as ice.

"I want Gabriel to see how his woman gives in to me."

It would be very interesting to humiliate his woman in front of Gabriel.

The life was so boring. He would like to fool with this woman.

He wanted to see what she and Gabriel were going to do.

His voice was elongated, implying coldness and danger.

Samantha looked at Ruben with eye wide and was frozen for a moment.

What the man said next shocked her.

"Be my lover for half a year. I'll withdraw the suit..."

Samantha said that indifferently, but it was like a heavy thing that struck her head.

Lover?

Half a year?

What did he talk about?

Samantha's expression changed all of a sudden. She felt that she was humiliated by his disdainful

gaze as if her face was stepped on by him.

She seemed to hear the voice of her bones crumbling. She clenched her fist and gritted the teeth, "Are

you drunk?"

"You think that I am not clear-minded?" Ruben said in a deep and hoarse voice. His handsome face

was impressive.

Samantha's face was as pale as snow. She pretended to look up calmly and met his gaze.

He wanted her to be his lover? It was so sarcastic.

She used to be his wife, but now she had to be his lover?

"What make you think that I'll be your lover for the sake of Stanley?" She put on a sullen look.

Ruben's gaze was cold and he sneered as if her disguise was seen through.

"You are standing here. It's the best proof. Gabriel cannot save him. I believe that you are willing to be Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

my lover and fooled with by me for the sake of Stanley..."

Samantha could not hold back her anger. If she had something in hand, she would smash it into Ruben

without hesitation.

Why did Ruben humiliate her like that? Her eyes were moist with tears, but she tried her best to hold

them back.

She was hesitating.

"What? You can be the running dog of Gabriel, but not mine?" He clenched her jaw and got close to

her with cold vibe.
