The Olsen family’s living room was now a picture of solemnity.
Peter’s parents looked at Susan and her brother in disbelief.
Both suspected they had misheard the young man.
Had Susan’s brother just threatened them?
Mr. Olsen then turned to look at Susan. “Do you agree with him?”
Susan immediately replied, “Of course not.”
Mr. Olsen breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Susan say, “Half the amount? That’s not enough. I want all of it! Fifty billion, not a penny less. Otherwise… I might just step outside and tell the reporters
Uncle Olsen hasn’t recovered from his serious illness!”
The news of Uncle Olsen’s illness hadn’t been made public yet, for he was currently the head of the Olsen family. Once word got out, the Olsen family’s shares would certainly be in turmoil.
Moreover, he had b G
poisoned…
Mr. Olsen was even more furious now, his finger trembling as he pointed at Susan.
Peter’s mother also stood up. “Don’t push us too far!”
Susan sighed. “How is this pushing too far? All it would take is for Peter to marry me, and all of this would go away, but he refuses to marry me now!”
On the surface, Susan appeared calm, but inside, she was
panicking.

Following the orders of Fox, she had been working undercover in the Olsen family because Fox had given her a poison, which
needed an antidote each month to neutralize it.
Failing to complete her task meant no antidote.
Her current assignment was to marry Peter, disturb the peace among the Olsen brothers, and become an adversary to Keera.
Sesan would sow discveera
and her brothers at
home, effectively dissolving the Olsen family’s influence and preventing them from being a support to Keera.
Yet she hadn’t expected the Olsen brothers to trust their sister unconditionally. Despite her many attempts at inciting discord, she
hadn’t succeeded even once!
Her only option was to marry Peter, but she never expected that, at the very last moment, Peter would have regrets! How could that happen?
A new month was upon her, and without the antidote, she would die from the poison!
Thinking of this, Susan looked up again, her eyes pitiful as she turned to Mr. Olsen, “Peter has fallen for another woman. He got engaged to me and proposed to me, but he was enchanted by that seductress, Jenkins. His heart has changed. He has wronged me…”
Susan walked up to Mr. Olsen and suddenly knelt down. “Uncle, I don’t want the money. I just want Peter to come back to me. Could you please persuade him not to abandon me for Jenkins…”
Mr. Olsen had just been threatened, and now Susan was begging him, so he frowned and looked toward the butler, “Where did

Peter go?”
The butler glanced at Susan carefully before answering, “He’s sleeping in the bedroom…”
Mr. Olsen then looked at Susan. “Susan, we can talk about anything.
You see, he’s sleeping, not bewitched by any seductress as you claimed. Maybe it’s all a big misunderstanding.”
Susan shifted her gaze to the butler. “Where is Jenkins?”
The butler glanced at Mr. Olsen.
Mr. Olsen was taken aback. “Answer the question.”
The butler then coughed. “She’s sleeping in Mr. Peter’s room.”
“What?!”
Mr. Olsen stood up abruptly. “That ungrateful creature! Has he changed his heart? Is he a cheater?”
He blurted out, “Susan, don’t be agitated. I’ll fetch him immediately and give him a good beating!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Peter’s mother sighed. “Hold on. Don’t go just yet. Get the full story first.”
Mr. Olsen’s chest heaved with fury
Peter’s mother then looked at Susan. “Why did Peter suddenly want to cancel the engagement?”
Susan’s eyes flickered.
Peter’s mother then turned to the butler. “You tell us.”
Although the butler hadn’t been in the room at that moment, he

had seen the surveillance footage afterward and roughly knew what had happened. He looked at Susan and laid out the truth.
When they heard that Susan had actually attempted to drown Jenkins, Mr. Olsen was shocked to his core. His wife frowned as
well, rebuking, “The Olsen family may have been raised in luxury, but we don’t kill people! Miss Simpson, for you to commit such an act and then try to pin it on Peter, that’s truly shameless!”
Mr. Olsen also frowned. “Just because you were jealous and just because Peter showed some kindness toward Jenkins, you did that to her? Miss Simpson, was it out of jealousy? Or was it to murder and silence Jenkins?”
There was heavy suspicion in Mr. Olsen’s tone.
Susan was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
“The one who poisoned my younger brother has yet to be found. If Jenkins died and with your and the maid’s testimonies, she would become the murderer, but it would allow the true culprit to escape justice!”
Mr. Olsen was no fool; he had quickly thought through the entire situation and fixed his gaze on Susan. “So, Miss Simpson, what exactly are you implying?”
Susan panicked. “Uncle, do you suspect me as well? I was just jealous.”
As she said this, she suddenly stood up, and her demeanor completely changed. “The Olsen family must give me an explanation today. Otherwise, I won’t leave! I saved Peter’s life before. I could lay down my life for him. How could I possibly do

something to harm the Olsen family?”
Mr. Olsen was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this.
Indeed, if Susan could risk her life to save Peter, how could she possibly act against the Olsen family?
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Peter’s voice came from upstairs…
