This statement shocked everyone.

All of them looked incredulously at Peter.

Even Keira raised an eyebrow.

She was just about to speak when, unexpectedly, Peter said that. Well, she'd like to hear what he has to say!

She turned to look at Peter, feeling that he had brought his brain with him today, which was nice.

Susan looked at Peter in disbelief. "Peter, what are you talking about?"

Peter took a deep breath, his face grim as he stared at her and slowly said, "Apologize to Jenkins!"

Susan immediately cried out, "Peter! What are you saying? This murderer poisoned Uncle. Why should I apologize!"

Peter gave a bitter smile. "Susan, do you really think we are all fools? Would anyone hire a person to poison someone and pay them afterward? Jenkins isn't stupid. Why would she ask for the money after poisoning Uncle? Is she so eager to get caught?!"

Susan frowned. "She was caught yesterday and was kept here. Obviously, she couldn't have communicated with the other party! Besides, with poisoning, the other party would definitely pay afterward! What if she got it in advance but then refused to do it?"

Peter laughed. "Really? I hire you to help me poison someone without giving you any money. You do the job, and then you get caught. And despite knowing you're detained by the Olsens, I still transfer money to you. I would hand over the evidence just like that, right?"

Susan was taken aback but immediately stubbornly retorted, "Maybe the other party fell out with her. Maybe they wanted to expose this matter! Maybe they wanted to make her take the blame."

Peter looked at her, disappointed. "How foolish the other party must be, Susan? No evidence would be left behind if they didn't transfer the money. Do you realize that one million can be traced back to its source?"

Susan paused for a moment. "Then maybe it's..."

"Enough!" Peter said. "I said that's enough!"

Susan immediately fell silent, her eyes reddening as she looked straight at Peter. "Peter, I didn't expect you would choose to believe her over me! I came to interrogate her, for Uncle's sake! She admitted it!"

Susan dragged over the maid, Cathy. "Tell us, didn't she confess just now? Why can't you believe it?"

Peter immediately looked at Cathy, who, terrified, swallowed hard and nervously said, "Yes, yes..."

Peter said coldly, "Do you realize that giving false testimony is against the law?"

Cathy was startled and instinctively glanced at Susan.

Susan glared at her, and Cathy immediately said, "I haven't provided false testimony; what I said is true; Jenkins admitted it just now!"

Susan looked at Peter. "Peter, did you hear that? We didn't lie. The liar is Jenkins!"

Peter looked at her and sighed.

He suddenly said, "Susan, do you know why we suspected Jenkins last night but still treated her courteously, keeping her in this room?"

Susan was startled. "What could it be for? Of course, because the Olsen family is a virtuous household, unwilling to blame the servants unduly."

The Olsen family was a virtuous household.

Keira wanted to laugh upon hearing this.

Ellis was notoriously a defiant figure. Virtuous?

Since she had returned home, she had noticed that these Olsen brothers each had their own capabilities. They were all highly intelligent, excelling in their fields – such as James in martial arts. Charles was currently attending Crera's top university studying physics, and Peter... Well, he might really be a bit silly.

She shook her head slightly, then turned to look at Peter with a touch of pity in her eyes.

Peter found Susan's response amusing as well. "As virtuous as we are, we wouldn't be so kind toward a suspected poisoner of our uncle. Susan, we confined her here because firstly, we wanted to avoid wrongfully killing the innocent and secondly, because there is surveillance in this room."

At this revelation, Susan's pupils shrunk dramatically. "What?! No, that's impossible!"

She immediately looked around.

Upon entering the guest room, she had already surveyed the exterior and hadn't seen any sign of surveillance, let alone inside.

Peter said, "Why do you think this guest room has been unoccupied for so long? Anyone who makes a mistake in the Olsen family would be confined here, just to see what they would do throughout the night! Everything Jenkins did last night, including if she contacted anyone from outside, is recorded in the surveillance!"

He stepped forward and declared, "The Olsen family doesn't detain servants arbitrarily. Last night was merely a test for Jenkins! To prove whether she had done it! The surveillance would show it if she had any contact with people outside, be it a phone call or a text message! Do you really think the Olsens just detained her overnight and did nothing?"

Susan swallowed.

She took two steps back. "Peter, you're bluffing! How can there be surveillance in this room? And even if there is, I'm not afraid. Jenkins just admitted it!"

Susan's demeanor made Peter sigh.

He knew she wouldn't believe it until she saw it for herself.

With no choice, Peter had to drag Susan out of the bathroom and point to the mirror in the bedroom. Seeing that Susan still didn't believe it, he opened the mirror, revealing the hidden surveillance camera inside. Its light was blinking.

Pointing to the camera, he said, "Susan, see that? Do I need to go to the surveillance room and show you the footage?"

Susan's pupils constricted, and she stepped back.

"How is this possible?!"
