Nemesis Game

Originally the scene could finish quickly, but Luke was deliberately making things difficult, intentionally finding fault in everything, seemingly always able to find countless mistakes. Finally, the shooting team didn't even dare to look to the director. Instead, all of them looked to Luke.

Samantha's hands looked terrible, they felt so painful that they were almost numb. She kept repeating the action of kneeling and her head was feeling dizzy. In the end, her condition was already very bad even without Luke intentionally finding fault with her. Emilia had never felt happier. Now, she didn't even need to make things difficult for Helena, the big boss was doing it for her. Naturally, she had to be as hard on her as she possibly can!

Helena was extremely arrogant in the team. Hence, it was the best opportunity for her to get her revenge on Helena now, this opportunity wouldn't come by so soon again! They repeated the same thing, but Luke was still not satisfied.

"Emilia, use a bit more strength later, and get it done in one shot." Director Solomon was so guilty when he said this that he didn't even dare to look at Samantha's face. There was nothing he could do.

If Luke was intending to make things difficult, he could only bear with it.

Who dared to control Luke?

Emilia took a look at Luke who was complaining that she wasn't using enough strength, and her mouth dropped so wide that a goose egg could be stuffed in it. Was she still not using enough strength?

If she used even more strength, Helena's hands would probably be gone!

They started all over again, and Emilia used up all her strength to trample on Helena's hand.

Samantha felt so much pain that her whole body was trembling, and she was holding her breath.

Luke didn't intend to let Samantha off so easily. His brows were still furrowed. Director Solomon was almost in tears, he was so worried that Samantha would be ruined from this.

There were countless retakes, Samantha's hands were bleeding profusely, and her face was drained of all colours.

No one would think that Luke was intentionally finding fault. They would only think that it's Emilia's and Helena's acting skills that were not good enough, resulting in repeated retakes.

Outside, Clara was so anxious that her tears were streaming down non-stop.

No way! They couldn't continue like this.

She quickly picked up Samantha's phone and rushed out to make a call.

Only he can save Helena, she had to find him!

...

"Director Solomon, it looks like the female lead picked by Gabriel isn't any good. It's been so long, it's just wasting my time, we haven't even finished one shoot... Do you think we should change a female lead?" A cool and composed Luke watched the scene from a distance. The woman who was trembling in pain on the ground had successfully satisfied his intention for revenge.

He can't deal with Gabriel right now, but he can get his revenge on this actress.

What a joke!

Director Solomon had already seen through his intentions, but he could only go with Luke's words.

Emilia on the other hand was also starting to complain about Samantha, "I'm begging you; can't you be more professional? Are you doing this on purpose to delay everyone's time? Troublemaker!"

Samantha endured the pain and knelt, her lips were bloodshot, and her heart sunk to the deepest valley.

What could she do?

She couldn't continue like this; Luke would be playing her to death.

When that happened, everything would be as Luke wished.

Luke stood up from his seat and strolled to Samantha's side.

His voice carried a burst of cold laughter, every single word felt like a hammer hitting on her heart.

"Helena, your acting skills aren't great, so you should stop occupying the position of the female lead, so as not to waste our resources," Luke said mockingly.

Samantha slowly raised her head, her gaze met his, the coldness in his eyes was bitterly cold.

She couldn't help but hold her breath.

At that moment, the people that was gathered around was terrified. They all thought that the investor was angry, and Helena as the female lead had to be swapped.

Samantha moved her lips as if about to say something...

"Idiot!" A scolding passed through lazily.

Luke and Samantha were both surprised, and both of them raised their heads to look over.

They saw the people opening up a pathway, and Ruben sauntered over from afar, his hands casually in his pocket. He was in a grey-silver suit, not the usual boring and serious black, and carried a touch of coldness and arrogance. This enhanced the coldness in his eyes. His handsome face carried a hint of laughter, the viciousness in his eyes resembled the night sky.

Clara clutched Samantha's handbag and followed behind him, her face looking relaxed.

At the moment she saw Ruben, Samantha felt her injuries that were originally numb, suddenly became unbearably painful again. She watched him walk towards her step by step against the light.

His every step was as if stepping on her battered heart. Her throat suddenly choked unconsciously, and the corner of her eyes started turning red.

She bit her lips tightly, and her originally straight back started turning numb.

She had no time to think about why Ruben would appear on the set, Peyton wasn't here, so who was he here for?

But when she saw Clara, it was as if she understood something.

Could it be Clara who went to look for Ruben?

But why would he help her out?

He would have wished her to suffer, and wished her tortured and humiliated, why would he even save her!

She slowly closed her eyes, her body almost becoming stone cold, the blood in her vessels suddenly started boiling, the pain on her wounds screaming furiously.

After a long silence.

Ruben finally stood in front of her. He looked down at her from above, not even giving Luke a look.

"Idiot, Mr. Baker said your acting skills suck, don't you have any self-awareness? He said to just casually give you a few hundred million for you to just act half-heartedly. But you had to squeeze all your brain juices to get into Universal Entertainment's cast. Are you intentionally making me embarrassed?"

Although Ruben's gaze was on her, his words were directed towards Luke.

Luke was used to being arrogant and domineering in Universal Entertainment, but in front of Ruben, he wasn't his match.

Samantha widened her eyes in shock and looked at him unbelievingly.

The initially silent crowd exploded with discussion.

Ruben's words were too exhilarating!

"Oh my god, that's Mr. Knight! The heir of Knight Group!"

"Casually invest a few hundred millions? Is Knight Group so wealthy?"

"That isn't the main point, the main point is why Ruben is speaking for Helena? Could it be that they knew each other previously?" "Could it be that the investor behind Helena isn't Mr. Baker, but the legendary iron-blooded King of Hell, Ruben?" "Are you dumb? Mr. Knight is here to support Helena!"

"What's their relationship? Playing around with a few hundred million? Isn't Ruben the fiancé of Peyton? But Peyton isn't here today." "Don't you already know this? Some say Ruben isn't the fiancé, the media had misunderstood. Ruben is Peyton's brother-in-law, not fiancé!"

The public was discussing on their own, they couldn't wait to get Ruben to answer all their questions.

If the investor behind Helena was indeed Ruben, then this supporter was so much stronger than Mr. Baker!

Hearing these words that seemingly praised but hid an underlying insult, Luke's hands slowly clenched into a fist.

"Mr. Knight, you're kidding me. Miss Powell hasn't been a trouble to the team at all." Luke said with a surface-level smile.

He didn't intend to fight with Ruben. Perhaps in the future when he was fighting for a position, he still needed Ruben's help.

He didn't want to make another enemy, so he couldn't offend Ruben.

Ruben didn't save him any face, he lowered his eyes and took a look at Samantha's hand which was filled with blood. His eyes showed that he was out for blood.

"I don't think it's what Mr. Baker said." Ruben gave a cold laugh, his voice is sonorous and powerful.

"How would she not bring trouble to the team? If she didn't bring trouble, she wouldn't be trampled on her hand so many times due to her poor acting skills. She deserved this!"0000
