Chapter 580
Susan Simpson was bewildered.
She stared at Peter Olsen in disbelief, her voice suddenly becoming sharp: “What did you say p>
Peter Olsen spoke up: “South Jenkins gave up calling the police for me, so consider that I’ve taken the blame for you, repaid your lifesaving grace. Let’s call off our engagement p>
Susan Simpson immediately shouted angrily: “No! I don’t agree p>
She stepped back two steps, then pointed at South Jenkins: “Have you fallen in love with her? Tell me, did she seduce you! Or have you two been colluding all along? Peter, wasn’t I the one you loved the most? How can you call off our engagement over such a trivial matter p>
Peter Olsen sighed: “Don’t talk nonsense, this has nothing to do with South Jenkins, it’s my own issue. I misunderstood our feelings p>
Susan Simpson immediately shouted angrily: “What misunderstanding? This is not a misunderstanding at all. Weren’t we fine before South Jenkins appeared? It’s her presence that changed you p>
Peter Olsen furrowed his brow: “I said, this has nothing to do with South Jenkins p>
As soon as he said this, Susan Simpson immediately shouted angrily: “How is it unrelated? Even now, you’re still defending her! Even if I transferred that one million to her, she’s still a suspect in the murder of your third uncle! How can you break up with me for her p>
Peter Olsen felt like it was getting difficult to talk with her: “Susan Simpson, I said, it’s not because of her p>
Before South Jenkins, Susan Simpson and the little sister started to oppose each other sharply, and he had already felt something was off p>
As Peter Olsen thought this, Susan Simpson suddenly turned towards Kiera Olsen: “Little sister, are you satisfied now that we are breaking off the engagement p>
Kiera Olsen: p>
Is she sick? I’m just watching the drama from the side, and she’s involving me in this?
She twitched her lips, about to say something, but Susan Simpson shouted angrily again: “Little sister, why do you defend South Jenkins so much? Is it just to oppose me? Currently, she’s the prime suspect of the poisoning, and the person lying in the hospital is your father, and you just let her go p>
Hearing this, Kiera Olsen was about to speak when Peter Olsen spoke first: “Don’t talk nonsense, South Jenkins is not the murderer p>
Susan Simpson was stunned.
Peter Olsen continued: “I checked. Yesterday, in addition to coffee, our third uncle also had the afternoon tea that the maid usually makes. What’s even more strange is that the maid took away the leftovers of the afternoon tea yesterday. I went to the maid’s home overnight to investigate, and her entire family had disappeared! The neighbors said they went on a trip abroad yesterday afternoon! Isn’t it clear? The maid who poisoned him!
Is South Jenkins crazy? She poisoned him and didn’t flee, stayed at home, and even committed such an obvious crime of destroying evidence? Misunderstood by us p>
Susan Simpson grew frantic: “You’re talking nonsense, I asked the butler, that poison acts swiftly upon contact with blood, it takes effect the moment it’s ingested, and the last thing he consumed was that cup of coffee! It certainly isn’t the afternoon tea, that was four hours earlier! Peter, in your attempt to exonerate South Jenkins, you’re disregarding the truth p>
Peter Olsen choked.
Susan Simpson took another step forward, her presence overwhelming: “You suspect the maid and her family, but do you have any proof? Without proof, on what basis do you claim South Jenkins is innocent p>
Peter Olsen was at a loss for words.
But in the next moment, a calm and cool voice came: “Who says there’s no evidence p>
Everyone turned their heads toward Kiera Olsen.
Kiera Olsen walked over calmly, looking at Peter Olsen, “Last night I already asked the butler what my dad had eaten, and immediately investigated. The auntie who made the afternoon tea suddenly made a batch of small dumplings yesterday afternoon using a special type of flour p>
Peter Olsen froze: “What flour p>
Keira Olsen spoke: “Kapok pollen p>
Peter Olsen froze again: “This flour is poisonous p>
Keira Olsen shook her head: “It’s not poisonous, but it is very hard to digest. Even after being eaten, it stays in the stomach for a long time before it can be digested. The nanny never used this flour to make glutinous rice balls before, but she suddenly switched to it yesterday because she wrapped poison inside those balls and fed them to father p>
Keira Olsen looked at South Jenkins: “The flour that was used to wrap the poison is difficult to digest. I asked the butler, and in the afternoon, my dad was too busy and barely drank any water. The coffee brought by South helped stimulate gastric movements, acting as the last straw that broke the camel’s back. My father coughed and spilled the coffee because of this, and afterward when South cleaned up the coffee stains, the poison had just taken effect; it’s all a coincidence p>
South Jenkins didn’t expect that in just one night, Keira Olsen would clear her name, and she looked at her gratefully.
Peter Olsen, still confused, looked at Keira: “Little sister, I saw you didn’t go out yesterday, how did you find out? I went to the nanny’s house and didn’t find out anything p>
Keira Olsen gave him a helpless look: “The moment I knew the nanny had taken leave to go home, I suspected something was wrong with her and sent people to investigate. But it’s been so long and the nanny must have disappeared… I had no choice but to start checking from the kitchen ingredients available p>
Peter Olsen slapped his forehead: “I’m so stupid. Last night, I even asked around her family members to find out where she went on vacation, but nobody knew p>
Keira Olsen: p>
Her fifth brother really is as naive as always.
Keira Olsen looked at South Jenkins again: “You were wronged, the Olsen Family owes you an apology p>
South Jenkins immediately shook her head: “The Olsen Family didn’t mistreat me. I stayed of my own accord yesterday to cooperate with the investigation, being the prime suspect, I couldn’t help but even suspect myself, so I never blamed the Olsen Family p>
Susan Simpson, standing nearby, watched the whole situation and was furiously unhappy. She angrily looked at the people enjoying their moment of relief and suddenly shouted at Peter Olsen: “Peter, no matter what, I saved your life, you can’t treat me this way p>
Peter Olsen paused slightly and sighed.
At that moment, South Jenkins, who had been holding on for a long time, suddenly started to sway slightly.
Due to long-term asphyxiation underwater and finally having her innocence returned, she suddenly relaxed, felt a blackout, and collapsed.
Peter Olsen instinctively supported her and accidentally pulled up her sleeve, revealing her arm.
On South Jenkins’ arm, there was a burn scar, suddenly appearing before Peter Olsen’s eyes.
Peter Olsen was dumbfounded.
He looked incredulously at the burn scar.
Memories suddenly flashed through his mind of the girl who had dragged him out of a car years ago; she, too, had been burned by the high-temperature car exterior.
He vaguely remembered, at that moment, everything before his eyes was a crimson blur when someone from the approaching ambulance exclaimed: “Miss, you’ve got a burn on your arm p>
“It’s just a small wound; save him first!” the girl had said.
Her voice seemed to blend with that of South Jenkins p>
