Chapter 549

….

Peter couldn’t stand it any longer and reached out to take the bags. “Forget it. Let me help you with that. Susan, since when did you become a germaphobe? I wasn’t aware of it.”

Susan said, “Peter, how much do you know about my matters? You simply don’t care about me!”

Peter frowned at her retort. “Is that so?”

Susan feigned anger. “Yes, I’ve always been a germaphobe. It’s just that you’re usually careless and never noticed. Remember that, okay? We’re almost at the bridal shop! Let’s hurry up!”

She dragged Peter along.

Jenkins watched the two of them, fuming internally.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she took a step forward. “Excuse me, Miss Simpson!”

Susan and Peter stopped and looked at her.

Susan frowned. “What’s up?”

Jenkins said, “I suddenly need to use the restroom urgently. Could you hold these items for a moment?”

As she spoke, she handed over the items she was carrying to Susan.

Susan didn’t intend to take them, but Jenkins didn’t give her the chance to refuse. Jenkins grabbed Susan’s hand and transferred all the bags to her.

Susan frowned. “Let Peter help you with that, you…”

Before she could finish, Jenkins interrupted. “How could Young Master Peter of such high status carry bags? You should do it! And… they’re not heavy at all! Here you go!”

And with that, Jenkins immediately let go.

The moment she let go, the total weight of the bags struck Susan’s hands.

Susan cried out in surprise, her arms visibly sinking, nearly pulling her down to the ground!

“Thud!”

The bags fell heavily to the ground.

Jenkins pretended to be shocked. “Miss Simpson, what happened? These bags aren’t heavy at all. Why did you drop them? You’re so careless!”

Susan shouted angrily, “How can they not be heavy? These two bags combined weigh nearly a hundred pounds!”

Hearing this, Peter was taken aback. He stepped forward, picked up the bags, and almost couldn’t lift them!

Only then did Peter realize just how heavy the items that Jenkins had been carrying were!

He looked at Jenkins in astonishment before turning to Susan, puzzled. “Didn’t you say they weren’t heavy?”

Susan said, “I didn’t know. I thought they were light. Jenkins, if these items were so heavy, why didn’t you say something earlier? If you had told me, I wouldn’t have bought so much…”

Jenkins’s lips twitched slightly. “For a maid like me, they really aren’t that heavy! Miss Simpson, don’t you even have the strength to carry a few bags?”

Susan was speechless.

She felt like she was going to be driven crazy by Jenkins!!

That annoying woman!

Taking a deep breath, Susan looked down at the items on the ground. “Whatever the case, you’ve damaged these items by dropping them, Jenkins. You must compensate me!”

Jenkins wore an innocent expression. “Miss Simpson, what are you talking about? These items were dropped while in your hands. How could you blame me? I handed the bags over to you just now. If you don’t believe me, we can ask Young Master Peter!”

Immediately, Susan turned to Peter. “Peter, say something!”

Peter didn’t know what to say.

He felt like his head was about to explode.

Susan and Jenkins had started to confront each other. Susan had already had a conflict with Keira at home, and now she was starting trouble here as well.

Unable to help himself, Peter said, “Susan, these items probably aren’t damaged. Only the bags touched the ground. If it bothers you, we can sanitize them when we return home!”

Susan felt incredibly frustrated.

Why did Peter always side with Jenkins?!

Jenkins immediately said, “That’s right, Miss Simpson. Well, I need to go to the restroom, so please give me a minute!”

After saying that, she slipped away.

She stopped after turning a corner, shaking her sore arms.

That Susan was simply too malicious.

No wonder Miss Olsen didn’t like her…

Such petty scheming!

Jenkins cursed inwardly as she timed her return.

At this point, Peter spoke to Susan. “Servants are also human. The Olsen family never mistreats their servants. Susan, be nicer to Jenkins from now on. She’s someone’s daughter, too…”

Susan lowered her head. “Peter, I understand. I thought maids were just meant to work… I didn’t realize these items were so heavy.”

She bent down, attempting to lift the items, but couldn’t muster the strength.

Peter sighed and picked up the items with some maneuver. He passed half of them to Jenkins, who had walked over.

“Can you carry these?”

Peter asked.

Jenkins nodded. “Yes, I can.”

Peter asked repeatedly, “Are you sure you can carry them?”

“Yes.” Jenkins was almost rolling her eyes; he was being so long-winded!

She couldn’t help but murmur, “Carrying these is much easier than dragging a person!”

Peter looked puzzled. “You’ve dragged a person before? Who? I’ve heard that when a person faints, their body goes limp, and they become very heavy…”

“Yes, incredibly heavy…”

Jenkins casually replied.

Peter then suddenly looked at Susan. “Susan, if that’s the case, and you barely have any strength, how did you manage to drag me out of the car back then?”
