584  Chapter 583

Several people turned their gazes toward Jenkins.

Jenkins took a step forward, glanced at Peter, and then turned her eyes to Susan.

Her gaze was cold, filled with hatred as she stared at Susan.

She asked, “What lifesaver? Did you save Peter’s life?”

She let out a scoff before continuing. “Even if you are, that’s what Peter owes you. What does it have to do with me? Today, you intend to harm my life, and you still expect me to show mercy? You must be dreaming!”

Hearing those words, Keira gave Jenkins a look of admiration.

Keira had been observing Jenkins and found that although the girl came from a poor background and was just a maid, she never wallowed in self-pity. She was always proud and self-respecting when she met her employers.

She carried an innocence that, despite being polished by society for so long, was still not slick and worldly-wise.

Hearing this, Susan swallowed hard. “Jenkins, I apologize for what I did. I truly am…”

However, Jenkins ignored her and picked up her phone again.

Seeing this, Susan immediately shouted, “Jenkins, even if you call the police without evidence, they won’t do anything to me! You’re not dead. Why can’t you let me go?”

Peter was astounded to hear this.

He looked at Susan incredulously, hardly able to believe that these words came from Susan, who he always thought was kind and innocent.

Jenkins replied coldly, “Perhaps if I had died, no one would have reported it for me, right? However, it’s precisely because I’m not dead that I need to seek justice for myself!”

Seeing she couldn’t persuade Jenkins, Susan immediately turned to Peter. “Peter, help me! I can’t go to jail; I didn’t really mean to kill anyone; I just wanted to scare her a little… I didn’t…”

Peter stared at her. “Do you know that your actions have already violated the law?”

“Peter,” Susan pleaded through her tears, trembling all over. “As long as Jenkins doesn’t press charges, there will be no problem. You have to persuade her… please! I saved your life once! Can you ask Jenkins to forgive me?”

Peter was stunned.

Yes, he owed her his life. He clenched his fists and turned to Jenkins.

Seeing his reaction, Jenkins lowered his gaze in disappointment, and with a bitter smile, she asked, “Are you trying to plead for her?”

Peter immediately said, “I’m not. I just…”

He continued. “I owe her my life, Jenkins. I can’t just stand by and do nothing…”

At these words, Susan perked up immediately. “Yes, yes, Peter. I’m still your fiancée. You can’t ignore me…”

Then she turned to Jenkins. “I advise you not to call the police. The Olsen family’s surveillance might already be broken. As long as Peter helps me, this will all blow over. I have a maid that can testify. I was just joking with you earlier!”

Hearing these shameless words, Jenkins couldn’t help but look at Peter again.

She suddenly felt disappointed and sad and had a vague sense of depression. She stared at Peter. “Would you really help her tamper with the surveillance?”

Peter was taken aback.

Susan then looked at him. “Peter! Don’t forget I almost lost my life saving you, and that’s not even mentioning the injury on my arm. You’ll help me, right?”

Peter’s jaw tightened.

He looked at Jenkins again.

Jenkins clenched her fists and then looked at her phone, hesitating whether or not to make the call.

He looked Susan in the eye and said softly, “Let’s call off the engagement.”

Susan was completely dumbfounded. “What did you say?”

“I said, I’m going to jail, so let’s call off our engagement,” Peter said again.

Susan was stunned and motionless. Then, suddenly, she lunged at Peter, grabbing his wrist. “Peter, you’re joking, right? I’m sorry! I said I’m sorry!”

But Peter withdrew his hand.

Seeing his reaction, Susan turned abruptly to look at Jenkins. “Jenkins, can you really bear to watch him go to jail? Don’t you know he didn’t sleep at all last night, that he was investigating who the real murderer was the whole time?”

Jenkins looked toward Peter, bewildered.

Peter, however, seemed as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and an air of ease surrounded him. He turned to Jenkins. “Jenkins, go ahead and call the police. It’s your right.”

Seeing Peter like this, Jenkins suddenly let out a low chuckle. “Peter, Susan, you win.”

She put down the phone.

Jenkins couldn’t bear to watch Peter take the fall for Susan. She deleted the number from her screen and lowered her gaze. “I won’t call the police.”

Susan immediately exhaled in relief, then rushed to Peter’s side. “Peter, this is great! We can get married again!”

But the next moment, her arm was pushed away by Peter.

Susan was taken aback.

Peter looked at her and said, “Whether Jenkins calls the police or not, I’m calling off our engagement
