"Did you hear that? She just admitted it herself!" said Charlotte Jenkins immediately.
"Susan, our Jenkins family is not boasting when we say that we took good care of you during your visit this time. Why do you have to do this to us?" Madam Jenkins looked at Susan Shelby with a furious expression.
"I... I..." Susan's body shook uncontrollably.
Julian Shaw hugged her a little tighter.
Luke Jenkins looked toward Susan with a complicated look in his eyes.
His father, Richard Jenkins, had never been a good father. However, he was still his father after all.
'If it is true that he really died in Susan's hands...'
'No, that's impossible. Susie is not that kind of person.’
'She doesn't even have the courage to kill a chicken, so how could she kill a man!'
"Susie, you didn't kill my father. There must be a misunderstanding, right?" Luke looked at Susan with a n anticipating expression.
If she said that it was a misunderstanding, he would believe her unconditionally.
"Brother! You're still defending her when we've come t o this state!" Charlotte could not help but glare at Luke in rage.
"Luke, we may know a person for a long time without understanding his or her nature.” Mandy Aisley said i n a dreamy, mellow voice, "Susan looks all gentle and weak. I didn't expect her to be so cruel in action.”
Luke disregarded those people's words. He looked at Susan with a stubborn expression.
There was too much belief in Luke’s gaze that Susan was incapable of bearing it all.
Susan avoided his gaze and said in a slightly panicked tone, "Luke, I'm... I'm sorry."
Susan refused to believe it herself yet it was true that she had killed a man.
The glint in Luke’s eyes dimmed at once.
'Did Susie really kill my father?”
"How did this happen!'
'What the heck happened!’
"Susan, since you've admitted it yourself, then..." said Madam Jenkins coldly.
"Hold on,” Julian spoke calmly.
"Julian! This vicious woman admitted it herself! Could it be that you’re still trying to defend a murderer?” Charlotte spat furiously.
"I find that there are suspicious aspects in this incident." Julian looked at Susan and attempted to soften his tone with great effort. "Susie, tell me, why are you here? Why is Chairman Jenkins here then?"
"A... a servant brought me into this room," said Susan i n a daze.
"It was me who brought Ms. Shelby to this room." The servant from earlier stepped forward.
"It was her." Susan nodded.
Julian took a glance at the servant. A cold glint flashed past his eyes before vanishing in one moment. When he looked back toward Susan, his tone softened once again when he said, "Susie, how about Chairman Jenkins? Why is he here?"
"He..." Susan’s body suddenly began shaking violently.
"Susie, don't be scared. Speak properly, I'm here." Julian held her hand with determination.
His palm felt so warm against her skin. Susan inhaled a few deep breaths in an effort to force herself to calm down. "I was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly when I suddenly felt someone..."
An embarrassed gaze flashed past Susan's eyes. Then, she said shakily, "Someone pinned me down on the bed. I tried to struggle free to the best of my abilities when I woke up. I shoved him strenuously once during the process. He suddenly collapsed on the floor and...and never woke up again. I... I only just found out that this man was Chairman Jenkins too."
