Chapter 42 You Should Shut Up


    It was as if time had stopped the moment she said that.


    Peyton couldn’t take it. Her eyes were cold and venomous, but she gritted her teeth and maintained her


    calm appearance.


    The crew heard what Samantha said and noticed that Peyton didn’t have a good look in her eyes, she


    looked suspicious and odd.


    Peyton wanted to dig a hole and hide in it, she had never felt so embarrassed in her life.


    Ruben inspected Samantha and he seemed dangerous as he said, “Why do you know so much about


    me, Ms. Powell?”


    Samantha’s gut was trembling but she smiled, “Well, I heard it from someone. Wasn’t the person who


    died 3 months ago in the fire your wife, Mr. Knight?”


    Samantha’s blood was boiling over every time she saw Ruben trusting Peyton and trying to protect her.


    She didn’t know why she was acting like that, maybe she hadn’t let go of her feelings towards Ruben


    yet.


    She wasn’t content.


    She died once, but she still couldn’t steel her heart.


    Ruben’s narrowed his eyes profoundly, the expression in his eyes turned stern, “Ha, good thing you


    and my wife have different faces. Otherwise, I would’ve thought that she came back to life to haunt


    me!”


    The crowd was whispering, they understood that Peyton was really Ruben’s sister-inw.


    Samantha broke into a cold sweat after hearing what Ruben said. She pursed her lips and controlled


    her emotions, her voice was coarse as she said, “You so funny, Mr. Knight. How could I be Mrs.


    Knight?”


    “Then you should shut your trap.” Ruben’s face turned tremendously dark.


    He was telling Samantha if she wasn’t his wife, then she had no rights to add oil to the me around


    here.


    Samantha clenched her fist, her nervousness was agitating her. Her lips turned pale from being bitten,


    but her eyes were still fixed onto his cold face.


    She wanted to expose his guise and p him in the face.


    Let him know that she was Samantha, the Samantha that they failed to kill!


    But she held it in, she couldn’t let her impulsion ruin her efforts.


    Her sharp nailed dug right into her palm but she couldn’t feel any pain. She met his cold eyes and she


    felt like her heart had fallen into the abyss.


    Her death meant nothing to him.


    Her death only made it possible for him to be happy forever after with Peyton.


    She hated them, she hated them to death.


    Just as she was about to lose control of her emotions, a warmrge palm grabbed her cold shivering


    hand.


    She was startled. As she looked up, she saw a pair of beautiful and clear cherry-blossomed eyes.


    Mateo held her hand and gave her strength. Samantha didn’t feel like saying anything more at that


    moment, she just felt that… She would run to the person at full speed no matter who they were if they


    were to give her warmth when she was feeling isted and helpless.


    They closed into each other, but the crowd didn’t notice them.


    Though Ruben and Peyton saw it all. Ruben nced at Samantha’s red eyes, he looked down and saw


    them holding hands. He felt oddly mad.


    She was indeed a bitch. She promised to be his lover but was still seducing others.


    So this is the person that intrigued Gabriel.


    Peyton bit her lips and tried to exin herself looking all wronged, “Helena, don’t spout nonsense. We


    didn’t get along very well during the set, but why would you shame me like this? Ruben was nice to me


    because he was my brother-inw.”


    Peyton was skilled in arguing, in a split of an eye she returned Samantha the favour and tarnished her


    name instead. And it was worse than what Samantha did.


    People were discussing in the background, “What was Helena trying to say? There’s no big deal having


    a meal with your brother-inw.”


    “They were just normal inws but Helena called it an affair.”


    “Some people are just rude like that, always thinking bad about others.”

    “The sister died and the brother-inw treated the younger sister nicely. It only proved that Mr. Knight


    was still in love with his wife, right?”


    …


    They were whispering without care and Samantha could hear everything.


    Her pupil contracted and her clear hazel eyes were wintry.


    Ha, Ruben missed her? He wanted her to die!


    Peyton managed to turn the table around. Crocodile tears welled up in her eyes as she said softly,


    “Helena, I know that you don’t like me. I don’t me you, but you should focus more on your acting


    skills instead of me.”


    Wow, she meant that Samantha was jealous about her snatching her limelight as the main character.


    The public was swayed.


    “Oh…” said Samantha loudly on purpose, “I didn’t know that inws walked around hand in hand


    nowadays. I guess I’m outdated.”


    Peyton was shocked and she quickly pulled her hand away. Her face was turning green.


    Shit, why didn’t she notice that?


    The crowd heard what Samantha said and started to judge Peyton again.


    It was true that inws shouldn’t be that close, yet Peyton and Ruben were as close as a married


    couple.


    Mateo joined the fun and said sarcastically, “You are just outdated and a conservative.”


    Samantha followed up andughed pleasedly, “Oh…I see.”


    She was too much of a conservative and Peyton was too wild!


    Such aparison.


    Peyton’s face was twisted, she stuttered, “No…I…I was thinking about my sister who passed away and


    I wasn’t in a good mood. My brother-inw just gave me a hand that’s all.”


    It was a horrible excuse, but it was better than nothing.


    Samantha snorted and thought to herself, ‘Thinking about her? No need, I’m not dead yet.’


    Samantha was about to make things difficult for Peyton but Ruben interrupted her, he said in a deep


    voice, “Director Solomon, let’s eat together since we are all here for a meal. I’ll treat you guys tonight,


    celebrating the start of your filming.”


    Ruben said suddenly and everyone was stunned.


    Director Solomon was shocked, he couldn’t grasp the situation anymore.


    The president of the Knight Group said that he was going to treat the crew to a meal. The meal wasn’t


    important, what important was that they rode the Knight Group’s coattail.


    They would explode in poprity this year if the Knight Group were to invest even a bit in the show.


    Director Solomon thought that it was important to maintain their rtionship with the Knight Group, he


    smiled brightly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Knight.”


    Samantha frowned, what? Ruben tried to protect Peyton again.


    Ruben hated socializing, but he was willing to do everything for Peyton.


    His love and gentleness never belonged to Samantha even though she was his wife. To him, she was


    the outsider.


    The people in the crew naturally also wanted to lick Ruben’s boots. In a blink of an eye, the men


    flocked to Ruben and the women to Peyton, wanting to get benefits off them.


    They forgot about Mateo who initially was going to treat them to a meal tonight.


    Samantha pulled her hand out and patted his shoulder.


    People were materialistic. The popr actor Mateo was a nobody in front of the president of the Knight


    Group.


    As he was more rich and powerful.


    “Are you okay? If you don’t want to join them, I’ll be generous and treat you to a meal tonight.”


    Samantha winked at him, she looked as cunning as a fox.


    Mateo’s cherry eyes dimmed, he stopped ring coldly at Ruben,


    He looked at Samantha in disdain and started toin, “You’re not only ugly but also stupid. Why


    don’t you join them? Someone is treating.”


    Samantha was shocked. What in the world?


    “But…” She tried to exin.


    Mateo then grabbed her arm and pulled her into the elevator, heughed light-heartedly, “But I’m not so


    stupid to say no to someone who’s going to treat me.”


    “You are the stupid one, I must say.” She looked at him dearly and said, “I feel so sorry for you though,


    you are so young but you have bad eyesight already. I am as pretty as a goddess and you actually call


    me ugly?”
