545 Chapter 544
Peter had just approached when he heard Jenkins
crying and saying something, so he immediately asked, “What did you say?”
Jenkins was startled. When she turned her head and
saw it was Peter, she immediately glared at him, said nothing, and turned back to continue her work.
Today, her task was to clean the windows, one of
which was near the second–floor corridor and
required her to reach high.
Jenkins was up on a ladder while cleaning the
windows.
Peter accidentally touched the ladder, and it
immediately began to tilt. Jenkins swayed. Her pupils shrank from fear, and she let out a scream.
Then she fell from the ladder.
Seeing this, Peter didn’t think twice before
immediately catching her in his arms.
The expected pain didn’t come; instead, Jenkins landed in a pair of strong arms. Opening her eyes, she

saw Peter, which scared her into pushing him away.
Then she fell onto the ground, hurting her backside.
Peter immediately stepped forward. “Are you okay?”
Jenkins asked angrily, “Why did you let go?”
Peter said, “Didn’t you push me?”
He touched his nose awkwardly and then looked at his palms.
Susan liked him, and he knew it, but when he was with
Susan, he always felt calm, like still water, never
knowing what it felt like to be passionate about
someone.
Even when they hugged or kissed, he still didn’t want to take it further, and he didn’t feel much of anything.
Only just now, when he held Jenkins and felt the firm and soft buttocks of the woman in his hands, he felt as
if his palms had been burned.
He now felt somewhat panicked, his face turning red.
Jenkins’s eyes turned red, yet she stubbornly got up from the ground, straightened the ladder, and climbed back onto it.

Peter asked, “Why are they making you clean such high
windows? Is the butler bullying you?”
Jenkins said irritably, “He has been so good to me. Don’t slander him! I finished my work early today. The butler wanted to hire someone from outside to clean
the windows, but I told him I could do it!”
Peter immediately frowned. “Everyone has their duties. Why are you doing this?”
Jenkins was infuriated. “Why do you think? To please you, of course! Or maybe I’m hoping for a Prince Charming falling for me, the poor Cinderella!”
Peter was perplexed.
Seeing his expression, Jenkins got even angrier. “You’re just an ignorant, rich young master who never had to lift a finger! I’m doing this to make money! Money! Your girlfriend’s dress is worth thirteen thousand. How can I repay the debt without earning money?”
After saying this, Jenkins said, “By the way, can we discuss something? I’ll repay that money in installments. After I get my monthly salary, I’ll give Miss Simpson 2,500 dollars. I’ll need to keep five

hundred for my living expenses.”
Peter was amazed. “You don’t even have thirteen thousand in savings?”
From the time he could remember, his parents gave
him a bank card containing the pocket money he’d usually receive every year, roughly around several tens
of millions.
So, to him, thirteen thousand was like thirteen dollars to ordinary people. He couldn’t comprehend what that amount of money meant.
Hearing him say that made Jenkins even more upset.
She scoffed. “I only have five hundred in my account! I always use my monthly salary! Are you happy now, Young Master Peter? How could us poor people save up thirteen thousand? Do you know what that much money means for an average family? It’s their annual income!”
Peter was speechless.
Seeing the dumb look on his face, Jenkins suddenly thought she might have misunderstood him.
He asked Susan for an apology because he felt it was

wrong for Susan to have hit Jenkins, and his idea of having Jenkins compensated with money might be his way of ensuring fairness.
For a moment, Jenkins didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his attitude.
She turned around, ready to continue working, when Peter walked away.
Jenkins was dumbfounded.
She thought people like him would never understand the struggles of those at the bottom.
Jenkins sighed and resumed her diligent work.
When Keira left the house, she saw what was happening. She paused briefly, then called over the butler and whispered some instructions to him.
She had heard about today’s incident as well.
Susan had taken it out on Jenkins because she had felt slighted by Keira.
That was indeed an undeserved misfortune for Jenkins.
Keira felt a tad guilty toward Jenkins and instructed

the butler to transfer thirteen thousand to Jenkins,
hoping to smooth over the incident.
Having risen from the lower classes, Keira understood
Jenkins’s predicament.
The butler nodded and said, “Miss, you are as
kind–hearted as you’re beautiful.”
Keira said, “Uncle, you are my elder. Just call me
