Chapter 41 Seducing Brother-in-law
Chapter 41 Seducing Brother-in-law
Peyton’s face blanched. Her finger grasped tightly on her cheongsam and her face was filled with
embarrassment and suffering.
She was afraid that she couldn’t control her tears.
Peyton held back her tears and bowed to the crew. She sobbed, “I’m sorry, it was my fault that the
progress was delayed. I apologize.”
The crew were generous when it was about Peyton. Someone said, “Don’t worry, we believe in your
acting skills. You must be under too much pressure.”
“Yeah, don’t worry. Everyone makes mistakes.”
“We don’t blame you, don’t cry. You are our goddess.”
“Do your best, Peyton!”
They were so tolerant towards Peyton. Unlike yesterday, they were very strict with Samantha.
Even though everything was Peyton’s doing, she managed to win the trust and sympathy of the people.
And Samantha was portrayed as an aggressive assailant instead.
She had enough!
Director Solomon tried to smooth things over, “Let’s rest and film the scene of our leading characters
next.”
The truth didn’t matter to Director Solomon. It was more important to calm everyone down.
Even if he knew that Peyton had her hands in the incident, he wouldn’t single-handedly go against her
and offend her fans.
Everyone was comforting Peyton when Mateo suddenly said coldly.
“You sure like bawling, you deserve an international award for that. It’s too bad you haven’t received
one yet.”
Samantha could barely hold back her laughter.
Mateo had a sharp-tongue. He ridiculed Peyton and her acting.
Peyton’s eyes were red, she looked down and dug her nails into her skin.
Bitch!
She wanted Samantha to feel all the shame she felt today, she wanted to tear her into pieces.
But Mateo ridiculed her again and again.
She couldn’t take it anymore.
Mateo walked towards Peyton and smiled uncannily. He stretched his voice and said, “Peyton, let me
show you something. I don’t know if you will like it.”
Peyton felt a shiver down her spine. Mateo looked grim and vicious, Peyton’s heart was beating fast.
What was he planning to do?
Just as she was about to ask, Mateo handed her the phone. She looked at the video and almost flung
the phone away.
“When did you film this?” Peyton’s face was twisted, her eyes frosty.
Mateo smiled vilely, “Do you want to know?” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Peyton’s eyes were filled with anger, “You!”
“I’m not going to tell you. The video won’t do you any harm, but it will make people see your true
colour.” Mateo put away the phone slowly and smiled coldly.
His cherry blossomed eyes were ice-cold.
Peyton’s face was as white as sheet. The video showed her “accidentally” spilling the hot drink on
Samantha yesterday, she was captured on tape.
When did Mateo film that?
Why did she not know about it? Also, why did Mateo target her so much?
“I don’t remember stepping on your tail.” Peyton gritted her teeth and tried to snatch the phone.
Mateo had a rare bad look on his face. His face was storming, it seemed dark and dangerous. “You
never did anything to me, I just hated you.”
Peyton murdered his beloved, what did she mean that she never did anything.
It was a blood feud.
He wasn’t afraid of Ruben seeking revenge, he knew that all of Peyton’s achievements today belonged
to another person.
If he forgot about her, then nobody else in the world would remember her.
“So what can you do with that? Just post it, see if anyone will believe it!” Peyton tried to act calm but
her pupils kept contracting.
Mateo sneered.
“That wasn’t my intention, because…” The expression in his eyes was as cold as a venomous snake, “I
just want to destroy you.”
He said his words slow and clearly.
The expression on Peyton’s face changed, her small shoulders trembled.
Samantha saw Mateo walk away and she looked suspiciously at Peyton who was acting weirdly. She
quickly went up to him.
Mateo sat down around the resting area. He glared at her coldly, “What do you want?”
He was giving her attitude and Samantha was taken aback. She said after a brief pause, “Thank you
for your help, I’m here to thank you.”
For some reason, Mateo seemed familiar to Samantha. Especially his eyes, she felt like she had seen
them somewhere.
But that couldn’t be, she had never met someone as handsome and beautiful as him. She wouldn’t
forget his face if she really met him before.
Mateo really seemed familiar, as if… they were long lost friends who knew each other from way back.
And now they suddenly met again.
Mateo scoffed, “Thank me?”
“Yeah, I’m here to thank you.” Samantha looked into his eyes, she wasn’t afraid.
Mateo lowered his face and the expression on his face turned wintry, his eyes were blood-shot.
“Don’t think too much about it. I wasn’t helping you.” I did it for her.
Samantha felt awkward, but she still said in a low voice, “I know. Even so, you still helped me.”
“Don’t you find yourself annoying? I told you that you don’t have to thank me.” Mateo had a weird
temper and a bad attitude.
Samantha was stunned and her palm started to sweat, she said slowly, “Ok, I’ll stop bothering you.”
Mateo looked extremely annoyed. He glanced at her pretty face and noticed that her hand was
bleeding.
The expression in his eyes changed, he grabbed a packet of tissues from his pocket and threw it to her,
“Your hands are bleeding. Was it Peyton?”
Samantha felt a sharp pain in her palm the moment he said that.
“You saw everything.” She looked embarrassed.
Peyton grabbed her hand very hard just now just to make things difficult for her.
Mateo jeered, “You should stay away from her, she’s like a scorpion. Don’t do anything stupid if you’re
not sure about winning.”
“I’m not afraid.” Samantha was curious about him being caring all of a sudden, she smiled.
Mateo stared at her, his lips were barely open when he asked, “Why do you hate her so much?”
He was the first person who asked her so directly about this. Samantha’s finger trembled and she had
a murderous air around her.
She snorted and said slowly, “She took away something important from me.”
At that moment, Mateo saw pure hatred blazing in her hazel eyes.
It was the same hatred that he was feeling as well.
As he was about to say something, Samantha picked up the tissues on the ground and walked away.
The wind blew and it was as if her skinny and feeble body was about to be blown away to somewhere
yonder.
She was emitting loneliness and sadness throughout her body.
Probably because Mateo was there at the set, Peyton didn’t pull any stunts in the following scenes.
But Samantha wouldn’t believe that Peyton had learned her lesson.
She knew that Peyton wasn’t the type of person to give up so easily. She was just holding it in, quietly
waiting in silence for the moment to pounce again!
Samantha enjoyed the rare moment of peace. Mateo wanted to treat everyone to a meal after the
filming at night.
She played the leading role and had to give Mateo some face. Peyton said she had plans and wasn’t
going to join the dinner.
Samantha sent Ruben a message, telling him that she had something to do and wouldn’t be coming
tonight.
While she was thinking about how to deal with him getting angry, Ruben just replied, “OK.”
The crew then went forward to the hotel where Mateo had made reservations.
But Samantha never thought that Ruben let her off the hook today, just because he was bringing
Peyton out for dinner.
Like a campy show, they met them in the same hotel.
Samantha noticed a man walking out of the lift and saw Peyton next to him.
She stared at him for 3 seconds. Her heart was about to stop and there was a lump in her throat. She
managed to appear calm in the end as if nothing had happened, and she showed no sign of weakness.
Be at beck and call.
Those words aptly described her.
The crew saw Ruben and Peyton. They quickly went up to lick her boots.
“I see that you didn’t join us tonight because you had plans with your boyfriend already.”
Peyton enjoyed being put on a pedestal. She lowered her head and smiled as if she was shy.
Samantha smiled and looked right into Ruben’s cold and emotionless eyes.
The provocative act from yesterday seemed like a dream as if it never happened.
She smiled lightly and corrected what the person said before.
“You’re wrong. He’s not her boyfriend, he’s her brother-in-law. Don’t spout nonsense, you’ll taint her
good name.” Samantha said seriously as if she was really trying to help Peyton.
“The people who knew wouldn’t put too many thoughts into it. But people who didn’t know might think
that Peyton seduced her brother-in-law after her sister died!”
