586 Chapter 585

….

Peter looked at Jenkins in shock.

Several of Jenkins’s past remarks suddenly flashed through his mind.

“Considering that I saved your life…”

“Do you treat everyone who saves your life like this?”

“Peter, this is what you owe me!”

“…”

Each of her inexplicable statements seemed to make sense at this moment, making Peter suspicious.

He carefully helped Jenkins up, then suddenly turned his gaze toward Susan.

Susan was still sobbing. “Peter, you can’t treat me like this. I am your lifesaver! Peter…”

Peter abruptly picked up Jenkins and looked directly at Susan, asking harshly, “Are you really my lifesaver?”

Susan was taken aback, then quickly regained composure. “What do you mean by that?”

Before she could finish her sentence, Peter no longer paid her any attention. Instead, he carried Jenkins out and called, “Doctor! Fetch the family doctor!”

He only had a vague suspicion, but everything would have to wait until Jenkins woke up!

Since Uncle Olsen had been poisoned, the Olsen family’s doctor had been on standby at home. Hearing the call, he quickly arrived.

After examining Jenkins, the doctor looked at Peter, who was anxious.

Peter immediately asked, “How is she? Does she need to go to the hospital?”

The family doctor sighed. “It’s just a lack of oxygen, nothing serious. We have the equipment at home.”

Peter was shocked. “A lack of oxygen can cause unconsciousness? She hasn’t woken up after such a long time!”

The family doctor twitched his lips. “She must have been frightened last night and hardly slept. She was already in a state of extreme panic, and after nearly drowning and suffering from lack of oxygen, she was told she was clear of suspicion. She just relaxed all at once, and that’s when she collapsed. I suspect Miss Jenkins is now sleeping. Just let her rest well for a day!”

Only then did Peter relax.

He took Jenkins straight to his bedroom, found a maid to change her clothes, dry her hair, and put her in pajamas before putting her in his bed.

Having done all this, Peter finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The butler beside asked, “Young Master Peter, you also haven’t slept all night. If Jenkins is sleeping here, where will you sleep?”

Peter pointed to the sofa in the room. “I’ll just crash on the sofa for a bit. If Jenkins wakes up, call me right away.”

“Alright.”

After Susan left, crying and wailing, Keira finally went downstairs for some breakfast.

Soon after, Lewis also came down.

As their eyes met, Keira sighed softly. “I want to visit the Martin family.”

The poison that Uncle Olsen had ingested came from the Martin family, and this matter required confirmation from old Mr. Martin. Furthermore, she wondered if he would forgive her if she admitted her mistakes now and confessed to the lie she told at the banquet.

Lewis immediately said, “I’ll go with you.”

Keira simply nodded.

After a quick breakfast, they drove straight to the Martin family residence.

Old Mr. Martin and Scott came out to greet them. Seeing the two, old Mr. Martin smiled. “The equipment will take one more day to be delivered; why the rush today?”

Keira and Lewis exchanged a look, just about to speak when old Mr. Martin laughed. “Is it about the poison, Seven Days?”

Keira hesitated.

Lewis said, “The Seven Days, did you give it to Vera?”

Old Mr. Martin nodded. “Yes.”

Lewis directly asked, “Why?”

Old Mr. Martin sighed. “The words you spoke at the engagement party ruined Vera and Scott’s wedding. I must give her an explanation.”

After that, he looked at Keira with a smile. “Aren’t you my granddaughter? Then there’s nothing to be anxious about. Once the equipment arrives and we conduct the DNA test, I’ll give you the antidote. For your father, it’ll merely be a tonic that strengthens his constitution. It won’t harm him.”

Keira immediately asked, “And if I’m not your granddaughter?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. How could you possibly not be?” Old Mr. Martin chuckled cunningly. “Besides, if you really aren’t, I need to offer an explanation to Miss Vera. In that case, the poison becomes my gesture of allegiance to her.”

Keira instantly understood old Mr. Martin’s intention.

If she wasn’t his granddaughter, he would immediately become an ally of Vera, but since he offended her at the engagement party, he would have to do something to please her.

That would be to kill Uncle Olsen!

Uncle Olsen was an important figure in the Olsen family and was Keira’s biggest support in Crera. His death would be a significant loss for the Olsen family!

Keira took a deep breath.

How cunning and sly!

She had thought that she and Lewis had fooled the old man with their actions at the engagement party, but she hadn’t expected that in the end, he still left himself an out!

Keira took a deep breath.

Old Mr. Martin then said, “Of course, such a scenario shouldn’t occur, right? Keera, you’re my granddaughter, aren’t you?”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

She wasn’t!

But facing old Mr. Martin, she simply couldn’t say it out loud.

She had no choice…

Keira and Lewis bid old Mr. Martin farewell.

Scott saw the two of them to the parking lot, and Keira looked at him, wanting to say something, yet knowing she couldn’t because of Scott’s special status.

She hadn’t gotten engaged to him; he was to live with Vera in the future. If she asked for his help, how would he and Vera get along afterward?

As Keira was pondering, Scott said, “I don’t know the composition of that poison; only Grandpa knows it.”

Keira was startled.

Scott then regretfully said, “Erin actually invented that poison, but as you should already know, some of those seven deadly substances are stored at my house. Since they can be mixed into a unique poison, each substance is kept separate. When we mix medicines, we take out the same amount of each ingredient and mix them with a random composition. We take away half as poison, and the remaining half becomes the antidote. Therefore, except for the poisoner, even my grandfather can’t state the mixture.”

Hearing that, Keira inhaled deeply. “I see.”

Scott then patted her shoulder. “But you’re my cousin, right? If you really are, Grandpa won’t treat you like that…”

Keira managed a bitter smile without speaking.

Suddenly, Lewis said, “Why don’t you show Scott a picture of your mother? I want to confirm if she’s the daughter of old Mr. Martin.”

Upon hearing this, Keira was stunned. “What do you mean?”

Lewis then said, “You have only ever mentioned your grandmother and never your grandfather. Doesn’t that strike you as odd?”

Keira couldn’t help but laugh. “Indeed, it’s odd, but that doesn’t mean I should suspect that old Mr. Martin is my grandfather, right?”

Lewis asked, “Why not try?”

“Alright then.”

With that thought, Keira took out her phone, found a picture of her mother, Jodie South, and handed it to Scott.

When Scott saw the photo, his eyes immediately widened. “She looks like her!”
