Nemesis Game

"Stanley, it's Peyton who is your sister. Not only that you don't believe her but you defame her like this..." Ruben was shocked, for he did not expect that Stanley would be so protective of Samantha. He had not been able to finish before Stanley's fist landed once again on his face, his tone evidently showed his hatred, "Shut up! I defamed her? I'm clearer about what kind of person Peyton is than you are! Samantha was deeply in love with you but you trampled on her love, I'll never let you go! I'll make you pay the price today!"

Was Ruben blind? Samantha was so kind, although she kept to herself, but she definitely had a kind heart.

So Stanley would never believe that Samantha had ordered someone to rape Peyton.

"You trust Samantha so much?!" Ruben took a punch again, fire soared in his eyes.

Stanley's eyes were all cold, "She's the sister that I've watched growing up, whoever dares to speak a word against her will be my enemy!"

Ruben was thunderstruck. He did not expect that Stanley's trust towards Samantha would be so deep.

But as he looked into Stanley's eyes, he was suddenly a little sceptical.

Was Samantha really innocent?

This thought flashed in his mind, and his limbs instantly became so numb that they had no feeling.

No, this was impossible.

How could Samantha be kind?

The meeting room was a fiasco, and someone saw that Stanley had took out a fruit knife and hurriedly called the police.

Ruben stopped him, "Stanley, even if you killed me, Samantha wouldn't be able to come back to life."

"Of course I know!" Stanley's entire body shook as if it had been struck by thunder, his mind struck and pulverised. "Since she couldn't come back to life, then you should go accompany her!" As he said so, Stanley's eyes exploded in murderousness.

He waved his knife towards Ruben. The blade sliced through the air and left a flash of silver in Ruben's dark pupils.

"Oh god... there's a murder!"

Samantha who ran here madly saw this terrible scene when she pushed the meeting room door open.

Her pupils immediately dilated and her breath halted, her heart lifted to the base of her throat. A thread in her mind contracted instantly.

"Stop!"

The female voice was cold and hoarse, with a bit of tremble, as it resonated in the dead silent air.

Stanley's gaze only halted temporarily as he raised the knife without hesitation and stabbed it into Ruben's body forcefully...

But at this moment Ruben's eyes were locked on Samantha, even forgetting Stanley's threat.

His eyes were on her so silently.

There was still anxiousness and fluster that she did not manage to hide in her eyes.

Samantha's entire person broke down as she ran all she could, only feeling that everything surrounding her seemed blurred.

There was only the knife that was about to be stabbed into Ruben's body!

The knife was sharp and cold, her entire body could not help but tremble.

She was screaming inside, even her throat became painful and dry.

Samantha ran over quickly. As the sharp blade was about to stab the man's body, she reached to grasp the cold blade without hesitation.

The sound of the blade stabbing blood and bone was extraordinarily ear-piercing in this silent meeting room.

Ruben who was normally calm and steady saw the woman pounce before himself and grasped the knife.

His pupils contracted and even his heart begun to beat wildly.

Why?

Why did Helena appear suddenly at the Knight Group? Why did she run up suddenly to take the knife for him?

Question after question came by, and Ruben's mind was muddled at this moment.

"Who are you... why did you save him..." Stanley saw that he had stabbed an unfamiliar woman, and his eyes darkened.

Samantha's light brown eyes shone with tears. She held back the tears in her eyes and not looking at Ruben's eyes, she took the entire knife in her hands adamantly.

The blade struck deeper, pain spread crazily as crimson blood dripped from her palm drop by drop to the floor.

"Mr Powell..." Samantha smiled, her face so pale that it was horrible.

Ruben finally came to his senses, only the crimson red and the slim, shaking figure of the woman was left before his eyes.

"Let go..." Ruben's eyes were cold as he kicked Stanley away and snatched the knife away from Samantha's hands expertly.

The fresh blood dripped on the back of his hand without a sign, and he suddenly felt a scorching pain like never before.

Seeing this woman rush before him, at the moment when she took the blade with her bare hands, his heart flowed with thousands of complicated feelings.

"Call an ambulance!" Ruben held onto Samantha's wrist, who was trying to escape, his tone was mighty and adamant.

Only with Ruben's roar that the people in the meeting room came to their senses and made the call hurriedly.

Stanley regained his balance quickly and his eyes locked onto Samantha, "Who are you? Why did you save him? What relationship do you have with him?" Samantha had not got the chance to explain when the man beside her had already pulled her by her wrist, bringing her out of the meeting room.

"Stanley, if you want to avenge Samantha, I'll always be up for it."

"Let me go..." Samantha tried her best to escape from the man's grasp.

The familiar scent on his body lingered at the tip of her nose, and her eyes begun to redden.

"Don't you still want your hands?" Ruben turned to look at her, his eyes shone with extremely cold murderousness.

But Samantha lowered her head, seeing her wrist that was grasped by him, her eyes were a little red.

"Let go," her tone suppressed her coldness.

Ruben squinted, "Go to the hospital."

He was not a man that minded other people's business. Perhaps it was the scene of Samantha grasping the knife that had shook him, which made him feel like a damned delusion now. This woman's adamant look really looked a lot like the woman who was dead!

"What hospital?" Her tone remained distant.

The corner of Ruben's lips curled and the strength grasping her wrist tightened, "Not going to the hospital? Aren't you afraid that your hand would be done for?"

Samantha's eyes reddened once more.

She looked into his deep, dark eyes and slowly smiled, like a flower blooming in blood, "When did Mr Knight start minding other people's business? If you think I did it to save you, you can think again!" "So?" Ruben lengthened his voice, his face expressionless.

Why could this woman be so hateful?

He hated her, because of the kiss last time, because of all the things she did to Peyton.

But that moment when she pounced over without a care for danger, he felt that all that hatred had another reason to exist.

She did so for him.

"Mr Powell is Gabriel's friend, I came to stop this incident. Since you didn't suffer from any harm, you don't have to call the police. Gabriel will compensate you for your losses, now allow me to bring Mr Powell away." Samantha closed her eyes and pretended to smiled lightly.

Ruben grasped her chin, his eyes shining coldly, "Do you know what you're saying?"

The reason she rushed over to the Knight Group was because Gabriel knew that Stanley was coming over to wreak havoc. So she came to stop it?

She held back her pain, refusing to even let one tear fall as her lips curled into a cold smile. "I said, I never thought of saving you. I was only afraid that if... anything should happen to you, you would refuse to let go of the matter. Mr Powell is Gabriel's guest, he cannot be harmed in any way."

She closed her eyes, not daring to meet his sharp gaze, only her tears accumulated in her eyes.

How would she not want to save him?

She did not expect her brother to be so crazy, actually wanting to kill Ruben for her.

If Ruben was really injured, this entanglement would never end, and it was highly possible that her brother would go to prison.

She could not allow something like that to happen.

Ruben finally understood everything hearing this, and the bottom of his heart suddenly flared with an unknown anger. It seemed that he had thought too much about it just now? The woman's sarcastic, chiding gaze was making him so angsty for the first time.

"Who do you think you are?" After a long silence, the man suddenly curled his lips into a smile, yet his eyes were filled with cold chide.

He clenched onto her jaw as if he wanted to torture her, while his other hand locked onto the wound on her palm.

Samantha slowly opened her eyes, her curled lashes fluttered. The tremendous pain caused her body to start shuddering.

Was he... trying to ruin her hand?

Ruben looked at the pale face woman, and his handsome face was devoid of even the slightest warmth. His gaze was cold as a venomous snake, as if about to swallow her at any time.

"Do you think I care for Gabriel's compensation?" The finger that he used to clutch her wound suddenly contracted, wanting badly to shatter her bones, "Bring your men and go, wait for my lawyer's letter."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
