My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！-Chapter 583

583 Chapter 582

Susan incredulously took a step back, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at the mirror. She wasn't foolish; as an underling of Fox, she had done plenty of similar tasks.

Right upon entering the room, she had checked and found no place where a hidden camera could have been installed.

Moreover, during her time with the Olsen family, she knew that even Ellis, despite his reputation as the fiend of Clance, was actually a kind person. She thought such a family would never install hidden cameras in their guest rooms.

That was why she had dared to speak those words to Jenkins so insolently.

She swallowed hard and stepped forward abruptly, grabbing Peter's arm. "Peter, I can explain..."

"Check the footage!"

At that moment, a fragile voice rang out, and both of them turned around to see Keira supporting a water-soaked Jenkins, who had come out of the tub and was standing beside them.

Jenkins was pale, her lips ominously white due to lack of oxygen, and she stared unblinkingly at Susan, her voice weak but filled with anger. "Go check the surveillance; she just tried to kill me! I want to review the footage and call the police..."

Those words made Susan's pupils shrink.

Peter's face also stiffened. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Susan immediately said, "Jenkins, it was all a misunderstanding. I wronged you just now, and I apologize for that. As for the surveillance, let's not check it. Uncle is still seriously ill, and no one is in the mood to check the footage, right? Let's not trouble Peter and the Olsen family with this!"

Upon hearing that, Jenkins hesitated slightly.

However, Keira said, "The Olsen family doesn't mind this trouble. If Peter doesn't dare to check, then I will."

After saying that, Keira headed out.

But Susan blocked her way. "Keera, don't. I know what I did was wrong. There's no need to check the video. I admit it. I slandered her..."

She knew that no matter what, they couldn't check the surveillance.

Keira looked at her. "What are you so afraid of?"

Susan swallowed hard again and then looked at Peter. "Peter, I know what I did was wrong, but I did this because I love you!"

Peter was dumbfounded. "You love me?"

Susan began to cry. "Ever since Jenkins appeared, you've only had eyes for her, never giving me a glance. It hurts! I was afraid she would steal you away!"

Peter was even more bewildered. "I've only had eyes for her? Are you serious? How could..."

Mid-sentence, he suddenly remembered his past interactions with Jenkins.

He was usually slow to catch on and hadn't noticed anything before, but now that Susan had pointed it out, he looked at Jenkins, completely bewildered.

Unconsciously, he didn't know why he felt the need to see Jenkins every time he went home.

And he liked the feeling of teasing her; it was very relaxing and engrossing. He enjoyed watching her get flustered or even enjoyed it when she scolded him.

He had thought nothing of it, but now that Susan had mentioned it, he wondered if he had fallen for Jenkins.

The Olsens were supposedly carriers of the "romantic gene", so how did he end up being so fickle in love?

Peter gazed absently at Jenkins.

That was when he realized that even seeing her pale face made him feel a touch of sympathy...

This was bad, very bad...

Peter abruptly shifted his gaze away, no longer daring to look at Jenkins.

He rebuked sternly. "Susan, don't be ridiculous!"

Seeing his strong reaction, Susan knew he must be feeling guilty and immediately bit her lip, challenging him. "Isn't it so? Peter, are you sure it's not true?"

Peter felt so guilty he couldn't face her. "I'm not into her. I..."

Before he could finish, Susan angrily shouted, "Peter, you've changed. You've been seduced by that little seductress! Do you know how sad it makes me to see you like this?

Her eyes reddened, and lowering her head; she said, "Everything I did was for you; that's why I treated Jenkins that way and tried to drive her out of the Olsen family so that in the future, you'd only have eyes for me!"

Peter looked at her, remaining silent for a moment.

Keira then asked, "And the million dollars in her account?"

"It was me. I had someone else do it..." Susan knew she had no choice but to admit it now. The surveillance video was there, clear as day.

She started to cry. "Keera, I was just afraid that your brother would be lured away by Jenkins. That's why I made a wrong turn. Please forgive me!"

She wiped her tears and then looked earnestly at Peter. "Peter, I'm sorry. I realize my mistake now. I promise I won't interfere with Jenkins ever again, okay?"

After that, she turned to face Jenkins. "Jenkins, I'm sorry. Can you forgive me just this once? Let it drop, and I won't ask for the million dollars back!"

Jenkins stared at her, shaking with anger.

She thought of how she almost suffocated and the pain of near death. She knew if it hadn't been for her own effort, she would already be dead in that bathtub.

But how could the culprit brazenly say such things here?

Did Susan expect forgiveness?

Did she think Jenkins's life could be bought with money?

Jenkins coughed, glared at Susan, and said angrily, "No. You can't afford my life!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Susan was taken aback.

Jenkins then turned to Keira. "Miss Olsen, I can call the police, right?"

Keira nodded. "Yes, you can. I respect your decision."

She picked up her phone. "Do you need me to dial the number for you?"

"No, I don't." Jenkins found her own phone and said, "I want to do it myself! She framed me for attempted murder, transferred money to my account, and tried to kill me. She's guilty of attempted murder! Susan, I want you to pay for what you've done today!!"

As she was about to make the call, Susan suddenly rushed over and grabbed her phone. "No, Jenkins, please don't. Listen to me..."

Jenkins tried to break free but couldn't.

Keira stepped forward and, with a little effort, pushed Susan away.

Jenkins then picked up the phone again.

"Bang!"

Susan knelt, but this time not before Jenkins, but before Peter.

She shouted, "Peter, are you going to just watch and do nothing about my fate?!"

Peter pursed his lips tightly. "Susan, I..."

"Peter, I saved your life back then because I loved you. Are you going to mistreat me for an outsider? Peter, you won't give up on me, right? I am your lifesaver! Peter, say something! Tell Jenkins to stop. Ask her to forgive me this once, will you?"

Peter looked at Susan, hesitating for a moment.

Images of that car accident from back then flashed through his mind, and in a daze, he remembered seeing Susan pulling him out to safety.

Back then, Susan got her arm scalded trying to save him.

He, indeed, couldn't just stand by and watch...

Peter turned toward Jenkins and hesitated as if he wanted to say something, yet he knew he shouldn't ask...

Seeing this, Jenkins looked at Susan and sneered. "What lifesaver?"
