Nemesis Game

Chapter 22 She Deserved It

Peyton stared at Samantha with hatred, "Don't be smug. Do you think that you've won? What you get is

what I don't need."

"You don't need it, or you are not capable of keeping it. I don't care." Samantha used some strength to

snatch away the microphone from Peyton. She threw a glance at Peyton and said with a firm attitude, "I

just want to tell you. Everything you owe doesn't belong to you. What rights do you have to say that?

You steal and occupy what belongs to others."

Peyton's expression changed, "What exactly do you know? Who are you?"

Samantha chuckled and looked at Peyton. Her brown eyes looked charming as if the sunset was

shining on her eyes.

"You don't need to know who I am. I am the one that will take away all you have from you."

With saying that, ignoring Peyton's pale face, Samantha walked to the middle of the stage. She greeted

the audience with a polite bow and then start crooning gently.

The audience looked at Samantha in surprise. They didn't expect that Samantha could croon a song

without accompaniment.

The tune of this song was very sad. Samantha's hoarse voice fit this song well.

She didn't sing song lyrics but croon softly.

Samantha closed her eyes and croon peacefully.

Though she was nervous, she needed to get it over. As Gabriel said, she must outdo Peyton.

Otherwise, she would lose the game from the beginning.

This song was composed by Samantha. Gabriel took a fancy to it at first view and let her give the

audience a surprise at the end of the charity party. Samantha didn't expect that Peyton would be

present.

However, it was a really good chance for her. The audience were tired of hearing Peyton's song, so

they would definitely be amazed when Samantha sang an unexpected song.

She believed so.

Samantha no longer looked nervous. Her voice spread to every corner through the microphone. She

was telling a story of people during wartime in a hoarse voice, which made the audience feel sorrowful.

Moreover, everyone hated to make any sound because they were afraid of interrupting her.

Samantha stood on the stage like a superstar.

Both Ruben and Gabriel gazed at her, one with a surprised look, and the other with a satisfied look.

When the song was finished, the crowd was excited. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"What song is this? It doesn't have any lyrics. She only croon."

"It's so special. Helena sings much better than Peyton."

"It's pleasing to ears. I cannot help but cry. I used to think the new star that Universal Entertainment

brought out was a decoration. It does have a good taste."

"I agree. I feel that Samantha is not inferior to Peyton when they stand together."

"Yes, Peyton seemed to be surpassed by a new star."

"It's common in the entertainment industry. Peyton cannot give new songs. Of course, she will be

surpassed."

Among people present were businessmen, politicians, the wealthy and the media. A lot of them were

optimistic about Helena's future. The battle between Peyton and Helena tonight could hit tomorrow's

headline!

The movie queen was surpassed by a new star. It would definitely cause a stir.

After the discussion, the audience gave Helena a great round of applause

Samantha felt relieved and gave the audience a polite bow.

"Thank you. This song, called Troubled Times, is the ending song of Be Passionately Devoted."

This song name fit the background of wars very well. The audience no longer questioned Samantha's

ability and started to appreciate her.

Before she sang this new song, the image she formed was a beautiful star with background that stole

the show of movie queen and went into entertainment by some dirty tricks.

Because of that, the public disliked her.

Peyton stood off the stage and gritted her teeth with hatred.

Damn it!

Helena sang better than her? Helena could surpass her in singing without accompaniment.

Peyton felt a sense of crisis.

"Ms. Powell's song very really pleasing to ears. I could hardly resist my desire to ask you to sing again."

The host walked out with a smile.

Samantha nodded and walked off the stage from the other side.

She had caused much sensation today. She believed that the audience and the media would make

every effort to increase her popularity.

This song made her win the first battle.

Samantha kept smiling, but Peyton felt Samantha looked flamboyant.

When Samantha walked along the aisle, Peyton trod on her skirt on purpose.

"Mrs Powell is really scheming." Peyton put on a vicious look.

Samantha looked down, took a glance at her skirt and gathered it up.

"You act the whore to play people. I'm nothing compared to you."

"What makes you think so?" Peyton trembled with rage, but she still held her temper.

This bitch even cursed her in an arrogant manner.

Samantha smiled gently but a dagger was hidden behind her smile, "You can watch the audience's

reaction. Ms. Moore, there's no point in coming after me. If you really want to save face, give new

songs as soon as possible. Otherwise, I would beat you again and you would lose face."

"How arrogant you are." Peyton snorted.

Samantha sneered to mock Peyton, "You cannot produce any new songs, can you? Or, your stole your

old songs from others?"

Samantha pushed Peyton's button. Peyton could not keep her smile and gritted her teeth.

What did Samantha know? Why did she mention new songs on purpose?

"Ruben." Peyton suddenly changed her expression.

Hearing Peyton call Ruben, Samantha felt pains in her heart.

Samantha really wanted to give herself a slap.

‘Samantha, don’t be so cheap. Your death is insignificant to them.’

‘No one remembers you after your died.’

‘Why are you still loving him? Are you so cheap?’

Samantha didn't willingly give up. How could Peyton easily get the man that she had pursed for so

many years?

Throughout that time, Samantha couldn't figure out why she was defeated by Peyton.

"Ms. Powell not only sings well, but also has a sharp tongue." Ruben walked up and said in a cold

voice.

Samantha retorted, "If it's a compliment, thank you."

"Do you think so?" Ruben squinted his eyes.

"I didn't care. I feel a pity for Mrs Knight. She is buried under the ground and watching her husband act

intimately with another woman. If I were her, I would not let you get away no matter what I became."

With saying that, under the astonished gaze of Peyton, Samantha walked out quickly.

Ruben disliked hearing her name, but she kept mentioning it in front of him.

She didn't have any other hobbies but she did enjoy putting others through.

Samantha heard Peyton's sobs coming from behind when she didn't go far.

"Ruben...It's my fault. Without me, she wouldn't have been burned to death."

"It has nothing to do with you. She deserved it."

The man's voice was like a cold and sharp ice that stabbed into her heart and made her unable to

think.

Samantha paused and held her thin back straight, implying its stiffness.

She deserved it...

She smiled suddenly and felt her heart clenched by an invisible hand. The pain was so intense that she

could hardly breathe...
