My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！-Chapter 578

578 Chapter 577

Before Jenkins could finish, a plate of food suddenly appeared before her.

She was slightly taken aback, and the words she was about to say got stuck in her throat.

With a confused look, Peter asked her, "Are you hungry?"

Staring at the delicate and appetizing meal, Jenkins suddenly felt that her previous actions were a bit inappropriate, giving off the impression of charity with strings attached.

She nodded. "Yes, I'm hungry"

Peter handed her the food. "What were you saying just now?"

Jenkins pursed her lips and ultimately just smiled. "It's nothing"

She picked up the fork and began to eat.

There was also some soup, which showed how attentive Peter was. Jenkins looked at the meal, took a couple of bites, then raised her head again. "I didn't poison your uncle."

"I believe you," Peter said. "I know it's not your fault; it's just that there's no evidence right now to prove you're not involved with the incident. But don't worry, Keera and Ellis are smart, and they'll clear your name."

Jenkins nodded. "Yes, I believe in Miss Olsen."

But she was a bit afraid of Ellis.

As the Olsen family's next successor, Ellis was known as the defiant figure of Clance, known for his odd character. The butler repeatedly cautioned maids who came to work for the Olsen family to accord special respect to Uncle Olsen and Mr. Ellis. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Ilowever, Jenkins had a good impression of "Keera"; there were several instances where that young lady had spoken on Jenkins' behalf, helping her avoid conflicts with Susan.

But...

Jenkins couldn't help but cast another complaining glance at Peter.

It was all because of Peter. If it weren't for him, Susan wouldn't have given her trouble time and again!

Jenkins was

smart person; her years of working had long taught her to read people's faces. She had previously sensed Susan's inexplicable hostility toward her, and now she finally understood. Did Susan think Peter was fond of her? freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Jenkins glanced at Peter...

Peter was handsome, a perfect example of the Olsen family's appearance, with one of the better temperaments among the young masters.

Ellis was capricious.

The second young master was rarely at home.

The third young master, James, had a fierce temper.

The fourth young master was also rarely at home.

Peter got along best with the servants. He was the most respectful and had the gentlest character.

The sixth young master was also rarely at home.

The seventh young master, Charles, was still in school, and it was clear that he had a strong personality and his own ideas...

Out of the entire Olsen family, Peter was the nicest.

As Jenkins was thinking this, she lowered her head, knowing she needed to keep her distance in the future.

However, even though she had never tried to get close to Peter, she still felt happy when she saw him.

Now that she thought about keeping her distance, Jenkins felt a little sad.

She couldn't help looking at Peter. "Mr. Peter, are you really going to marry Susan?"

Peter didn't hesitate. "Yes, she's my lifesaver. Of course, I have to marry her!"

Jenkins couldn't help but press her lips together. "Would you do the same for every lifesaver?"

Peter twitched the corners of his mouth.

He thought about it. Actually, in addition to Susan, who had pulled him out of the car during the accident, there were also the ambulance, nurses, and doctors who had saved his life.

Ile couldn't possibly marry all of those people.

So, Peter said, "Of course not, but Susan is different."

The car caught fire then, and no one knew when it might explode. Many people were gathered around, and blood had blurred his vision.

He could hear the crowd around him....

Among all those people, only one girl, despite the risk, charged in and pulled him out of the car.

And shortly after they had moved away from the car, it exploded.

Neither the nurses and the doctors nor those who later lent a hand risked their lives to save him.

Therefore, the one he was most grateful to was Susan.

Jenkins took it the wrong way.

If Susan was different from the other lifesavers, Peter must love her!

Jenkins had always been straightforward, and having sensed all of this, she decided to make a choice today.

She turned and looked directly at Peter. "Mr. Peter, from now on, please don't bring me food

anymore."

Peter was taken aback. "Why? Aren't you hungry?"

Jenkins said, "It's not appropriate."

"How is it not appropriate? You haven't been convicted, and if you were, you would have been sent to the police station by now. The Olsen family doesn't allow illegal punishment. There's no

evidence now, and you're being detained by our family. I can't just starve you, can I?"

Jenkins gave a wry smile.

So, that was what Peter was thinking...

He showed her kindness because she was the Olsen family's employee.

He didn't have even the slightest bit of affection for her...

Susan really was overthinking it.

Jenkins said, "After I prove my innocence, I'll leave the Olsen family"

Although the salary here was good, Jenkins had grown wary after the incident with Uncle Olsen.

Money was important, but it wasn't as precious as life itself!

Peter was suddenly taken aback, his eyes widening in shock. "No, Jenkins, are you mad? Anyone would find today's incident has too many coincidences. It's normal for people to be suspicious.

Could you please not be mad at us?"

Jenkins wanted to say something, but she only gave a low chuckle.

She might as well be seen as throwing a tantrum.

Casually pushing her food around the plate, she handed it back to Peter. "You Olsens are so strange. I'm just a maid who has been implicated in this matter for no reason. Isn't it normal for me to want to leave?"

Peter was dumbstruck for a moment. "Wait. We were talking normally a moment ago. Why are you suddenly angry? It's true. Women are so touchy!"

Upon saying this, he took the plate from her. "If you don't want me to deliver you food, so be it.

You can starve!"

Looking at the food that was barely touched, he huffed and turned to go downstairs.

"Everyone has such a huge temper. You can't even talk or express your doubt. Well then, starve!"

Peter grumbled as he walked away.

When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he angrily set down the plate and was about to leave

when his stomach growled.

Peter immediately looked down at his belly.

Then he let out a quiet sigh. "I've been busy tonight and haven't eaten anything. It's not pleasant

to be hungry."

With that, he called over the butler. "Send some food to Jenkins a little later,"

The butler nodded. "Alright, Mr. Peter."

After saying that, Peter seemed to feel a bit better. Ile found something to eat in the kitchen,

rubbed his belly, and walked out.

He went outside and looked at the people bustling about.

Suddenly, he looked up at the third floor.

He approached the butler and asked, "What was the last thing Uncle had before drinking his

coffee?"

If they could prove Jenkins's innocence, could they let her out then?

It was quite pitiful for a young girl to be locked up like that.

The butler was taken aback upon hearing this. "Ile had some afternoon tea before that."

Peter immediately asked, "What kind of afternoon tea? Who made it?"

The butler was confused for a moment. "Another maid, May, made it... She served it to Uncle Olsen and then went home..."

Peter's pupils shrank suddenly. "Is there any leftover?"

The butler frowned. "The leftover afternoon tea was packed up and taken away by May. But I don't think Mr. Olsen was poisoned in the afternoon because he had his tea at two and fell ill at eight. There's too much of a gap in time. I consulted the family doctor; the poison would have taken effect almost instantly upon ingestion, so we only considered the cup of coffee. Peter insisted, "I don't care. Check the food! Why did May take away the leftover?" The butler replied, "May said there are kids at home, and it seemed a waste to throw the food

away..."

As his voice trailed off, the butler also realized something. "I have been negligent!"

Peter quickly said, "Give me her home address. I need to investigate her!"

"Alright."

Peter immediately rushed out.

The next day.

When Susan returned to the Olsen residence, she didn't see Peter, so she went straight to the

door of the guest room on the third floor, where Jenkins was detained.

She looked at the maid who accompanied her and suddenly smiled. "Would you like to do a

great service for the Olsen family?"

The maid's eyes instantly lit up.
