Nemesis Game
Chapter 80 This Was Your Acting Skill?

Samantha stopped abruptly and looked at Luke with sharp eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up in an unpleasant smile.

For a moment, Samantha wanted to ask Luke what was wrong with Gabriel.

But when she saw the calculation under Luke's eyes, she suddenly came to her senses.

Gabriel once said that she didn't have to care about anything, and that the most important thing was for her to do a good job of filming.

She should not be seen through by Luke.

Yes, Samantha just paused for a moment, and then she pretended to look ignorant.

"Mr. Baker, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand your words? Mr. Baker and I are just subordinates. How can you say that?" Samantha shook her head slightly and pretended to be innocent.

Did the change of superiors at Universal Entertainment have anything directly to do with her, an artist?

No!

Luke was here to test her. There were even more reasons for her not to let Luke have his way.

Luke frowned, then sneered, "You really are heartless. So you really don't care about his life at all. I thought you'd want to know how miserable he is."

As he spoke, he observed Samantha's expression. Finally, he added meaningfully, "So you don't want to know, then I really came all the way here for nothing."

"Mr. Baker," She narrowed her eyes slightly and clenched her fingers together fiercely.

Luke didn't give her a chance to deny it. He laughed softly, looking mocking and indifferent.

"If you don't want to know, forget it. Then hurry up and go to the shoot. I just pity that bastard. He was beaten up and broke his leg for a cheap actress, and even handed over his position as director of Universal Entertainment. But that actress ... is so heartless." Luke abruptly got up and approached Samantha step by step.

Her heart tightened fiercely. Luke's grim voice blew through her body like a cold wind, making her whole body numb with cold.

Gabriel got his leg broken and had his power taken away? Was that why Luke came to the set to deliberately humiliate her?

Seeing her pale face, Luke curled his lips and said teasingly, "Miss Powell, do you think the actress was too heartless, and was it worth it for Gabriel to do that or not?"

Luke deliberately irritated her and forced her not to evade the question, but to take the initiative to answer.

Samantha's heart burned with rage. She looked up, "How do I know if it's worth it since I'm not Gabriel? Mr. Baker, you shouldn't be asking me that question, but Gabriel." She tried her best to control her emotions, and her eyes were slightly red.

It was then that she finally realized what the solution was that Gabriel was talking about.

Gabriel was punished by the Baker family by breaking his leg in order to keep her position as the female lead ...

Why did he have to do that? She felt so guilty that she couldn't wait to leave the set and go to Gabriel to ask him everything.

But on second thought, she felt she was being too pretentious. It was Gabriel who tried so hard to save her that she could not be seen through by Luke.

Gabriel had paid the sacrifice, and she had to hold steady now, or else it wouldn't justify the effort that Gabriel had put into.

Luke's eyes were cold. He smiled and shook his head, giving her a shuddering sense of dread, "You don't need to ask him. Even I don't feel worthy for him. For a woman, he made such a mess of himself. It really ..."

"It really makes me so happy! The bastard deserves to be trampled into the dust and can only ever be one of my dogs. As long as I am around, he can only be a dog!"

He gazed deeply at Samantha and then burst out in exaggerated laughter. Everything around him became silent because of him.

He laughed like the devil in hell, without a trace of emotion, only morbid paranoia.

Samantha's fingernails pierced into the flesh again. She bit her lip hard until she tasted a hint of blood in her mouth.

"Mr. Baker, did you call me up just to say these words that I don't understand?" She looked up indifferently, "If so, then I'm going to go over to the shooting. Mr. Baker, please make yourself comfortable." Luke didn't say anything but watched coldly as she walked into the studio.

His eyes were like a knife tainted with poison. Even from such a distance, it still stabbed deeply into her body.

She accelerated her footsteps as if beasts were chasing her.

Gabriel...

How could he be so stupid!

Samantha was filming the female lead's scene, while Luke sat behind the camera in a good mood and watched. He looked arrogant and reckless, just like a domineering playboy.

Gabriel was gentle and modest. The contrast between Luke and him was too obvious.

The scene Samantha had to shoot today was the first scene of the female lead marrying into the male lead's family, and she was given a hard time by the male lead's father's concubine in the snow. Because Mateo had recently left the country, the male and female scenes were the last to be shot.

Coincidentally, this concubine was Emilia, who once had a problem with Samantha. She never had the chance to act against Emilia before, and today's scene was her and Emilia's.

Emilia played the role of a concubine who came from the brothel, but always liked the hero in her heart because she was once saved by him.

The hero liked the heroine and married her, so naturally, the heroine became a thorn in the concubine's side!

It was winter in the play, but the shooting time was in the middle of summer. Samantha was wearing a cheongsam and wrapped in a snow-white mink shawl. And she was so hot that she was sweating. Emilia also dressed up and sat on a chair, just waiting for Samantha as the female lead to give her a tea toast.

This was also odd! Emilia was just a concubine, but relying on the master's favor, so she could humiliate her, the young madam, so recklessly.

This scene involved spilling tea and stepping on hands.

Before the shooting started, Director Solomon didn't dare to let them do it for real, for fear of a scandal like the last one. He explained the details to Emilia. She could really spill the tea, but as for stepping on the hands and kneeling for punishment, he decided to let the stand-in do it. Emilia and Samantha were both in position and the scene soon began.

"Auntie, please drink tea." Samantha, as the female lead walked over, step by step, to give tea to the concubine.

The concubine's eyes showed a deep hatred. She looked at Samantha in front of her and played out the anger and jealousy of not being able to get love to the extreme.

The concubine reached out to take the cup of tea, "You are worthy of being the girl Kayden fell in love with, and you are indeed superb."

Just as the cup of tea was handed to her, she suddenly screamed out loud, "Young Madam, I know I have a poor background, but I'm still Kayden's stepmother. What do you have in mind when you give me such hot tea?"

"Madam, this tea was prepared by the maid." The heroine replied indifferently.

The concubine was intent on making things difficult for her. She snorted and raised her hand to splash the tea on her face.

"So you're saying that I'm setting you up?"

Before the heroine could say anything, the concubine turned to the master and cried, "Look, it's fine that Kayden doesn't respect me as his stepmother, yet his wife does the same. I don't mind, but I still have your child in my belly! What if it hurts the baby?" The man playing the Master shattered the teacup in his hand to the ground in anger and scolded sternly, "Kneel down!"

Director Solomon hastily shouted to stop and asked the stand-in to kneel down, so as not to hurt Samantha.

Luke, who was watching the scene on the side, suddenly frowned and put down his glass of water heavily, "Director Solomon, Universal Entertainment has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, but you have to replace a stand-in even for the kneeling? Is this the kind of acting you're showing me?"

Luke looked to Samantha while his eyes were filled with gloom and displeasure.
