Nemesis Game

Chapter 66 Does Your Hand Hurt?

Samantha was stunned for quite a while.

“Mrs Baker, why would you want to change the main cast?” Samantha stood up abruptly from her seat,

her whole body was stiffened.

Mrs Baker looked at her like a master and said gently, “Please do not contact Gabriel anymore.”

“Nothing is going on between Gabriel and me, I just want to be an actress!” Samantha was nervous, all

her efforts would be wasted if Mrs Baker replaced the main cast.

This was only the beginning of her vengeance, why would she replace her?

Mrs Baker called her name with a smile, “Helena, you still don’t get it.”

Samantha bit her lips, “I don’t understand your meaning, I don’t have any other intention towards

Gabriel, and we are just…”

“Enough, regardless of your intention or your relationship, it is not good if your name is tied to his now.

The only way to prove that nothing is going on between both of you is to replace you.”

She was not discussing but informing.

But why replace the main cast? Samantha was not happy.

“Mrs Baker, I would do anything you want as long as I am not replaced!” Samantha was completely

nervous, Mrs Baker’s had a certain degree of influence, and she had to believe.

Mrs Baker sighted, her attitude softened. “I’m not trying to make it difficult for you, as you know Gabriel

and I don’t have much power in the Baker family. Gabriel’s father was not happy with his decision to

cast you, he might take back all the power he had given to Gabriel anytime…”

Samantha would have defended herself if Mrs Baker was being unreasonable, but she was gentle and

it gave no room for her defence.

Even though Ruben saved her tonight, but guess the Bakers believed what Gabriel said, including Nia!

It was a smart move from Mrs Backer, replaced her as an announcement that there was nothing

between Gabriel and her, it was a good explanation to both the Bakers and Nia.

Only with Nia will continue her support towards Gabriel.

Mrs Baker looked at her gently and ordered the servant behind to hand her a case.

“I know you are a good girl, Gabriel won’t fall for a bad woman. Replacing you is an inevitable

explanation I can make to them, take this necklace as compensation.”

Mrs Baker was direct and firm, leaving no room for Samantha to reject.

It seemed like everything was set.

No, no way!

She could not give up now, how would she avenge herself if she was replaced?

Samantha did not take the case, “Mrs Baker, I can’t take it.”

The smile on Mrs Baker’s face disappeared at once, “It means… you reject?”

“Gabriel is my superior, if he wants to replace me, I have no right to say no.” Samantha disregarded

Mrs Baker’s dissatisfaction and said slowly.

In a way telling Mrs Baker that only Gabriel has the power to replace her.

So, she would listen to only Gabriel.

Mrs Baker’s face stiffened, she tucked up her shawl gracefully.

“I thought you always know which way the wind blows.”

Mrs Bakers directed the servant to put the case on the desk, she turned and walked away.

She was not angry but remained calm. It was obvious that Gabriel inherited her calm and gentle

manners.

Despite not being a fruitful discussion, Mrs Baker’s intention to replace the main cast had made a mark

in Samantha’s heart.

There were too many distractions at the party tonight, but it ended smoothly.

Samantha did not see Gabriel and Nia, it seemed like Nia accompanied Gabriel to the hospital.

Ruben brought her back to his home after the party, whereas the Moore siblings, she completely

ignored them.

Peyton Moore would definitely fight back, it was just a matter of time.

Samantha was dazing in Ruben’s car, she couldn’t disregard Mrs Baker’s warning. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Ruben watched her in silence and mocked, “Why? Feeling sad for not seeing your Gabriel?

Disappointed?”

Samantha turned to him, his handsome face was hidden under the dim light.

“What do you mean?” What was his intention behind those words?

What did he mean by sad not seeing Gabriel? Did she seem sad to him?

Ruben threw a glance at her, his long and fair fingers were hitting on the handle lightly, “How could you

not understand what I said?”

“No.” Samantha shrugged.

The atmosphere in the car turned cold abruptly, Ruben’s face turned blue.

“Let me advise you, you better stay away from Gabriel Baker if you don’t want to offend Nia.” he said

coldly.

Such a moron, don’t you know that Nia is seeing you as a thorn in her eyes?

Samantha now understood why Mrs Baker wanted to replace her, she had to make sure that Nia was

happy.

“I got it.” Samantha lowered her sight calmly.

Her calmness and rationality made Ruben curious and looked at her.

There was a slight sadness on his handsome face, “So please hide your longing face.”

Samantha opened her lips weakly. The necklace from Mrs Baker was still in her purse, it was sarcastic

enough.

Nothing was going on between Gabriel and her, yet no one believed her.

“Don’t you hate me? Are you being concern about me now?” She thought of something and smiled

intentionally, her tone was flirtatious.

It was dead silence in the car, it felt like one could die out of suffocation.

Ruben looked at her with a narrowed eyes and reached for her chin, “Concern about you?”

She looked straight back at him and did not even try to hide the smile at the corner of her lips.

“You think too much.” Ruben’s face stiffened. He looked extremely cold and said, “If you are K.O this

early, how do we continue this game? Where is the fun?”

“A plaything value is to make me happy.”

He acted like Satan from hell, cruel and mean, it was frightening.

Samantha lifted her dried lips but it made her cheek pain. She smiled brightly, “It’s not sure yet who is

the player.”

Ruben thought of what happened that night, she shouted in pain when Peyton touched her hand,

followed by a series of uncertain explanations, he felt that Peyton played tricks right before him!

She even dare to explain?

“So, don’t you have some explaining to do? Peyton did not hurt you, it was all your tricks.” Ruben

grabbed her wrist and stared at her coldly, “Does your hand hurt?”
