546 Chapter 545
The South family… Grandma…
Jodie South had been hiding in Oceanion for so many years. She was a capable woman, yet she only
maintained a modest level of comfort for the family… In essence, how was her approach any different from
Keera’s?
It seemed like they were both avoiding something…
Fox, Rabbit…
So, Jessica South’s incident was also the South family’s
doing.
Did every generation have to go through this kind of struggle?
The losers exited the stage, like Keira’s grandma.
She managed to stay hidden because of Jodie South, but Keera was taken away by the South family and got involved in their battles.
Keira felt like she was beginning to touch upon the edges of some of the South family’s secrets.

If she could find out a few more things through Fox, perhaps she would be able to understand what the South family was all about!
Keira pondered as she continued to look at the photograph.
Suddenly, she sensed something odd and hastily picked up the photo to look at its back.
Sure enough, there was writing there.
The handwriting was elegant, likely that of a woman.
Below the date and location was a line: “All is well, no
need to worry.”
Keira frowned.
Jodie was too young at the time, and Keira knew Jodie’s handwriting, so the words on the photo must have been written by her grandma.
But to whom was Grandma sending this photo?
Keira touched her chin.
“No need to worry“… Was it Grandpa? After all, Jodie couldn’t have just popped out of a rock.
Or could it have been Grandma’s close female friend?
< 546 Chapter 545
Or someone from the South family?
Keira couldn’t guess. With a sigh, she put the photo
down and thought for a moment before sliding it into
her wallet.
After all, that big fire had burned all of Grandma’s possessions, and this photo was the only one remaining of Keira’s mother and grandma…
Outside.
Jenkins had just finished cleaning the windows and was about to leave with the ladder when he heard Peter, who had just stepped out, asking the butler, “Where is that maid?”
Jenkins’s heart skipped a beat, fearing he was looking for more trouble with her, and hastily hid in the storage room nearby.
Then she heard the butler. “She was just upstairs working. I’m not sure where she is now.”
“Oh, got it.”
After Peter said that, the sound of footsteps headed upstairs.

Jenkins held her breath with resentment filling her
chest!
She recognized right away that Peter was the man she had saved from the car accident, yet the man kept causing her trouble.
What was he up to this time?
It’s just outrageous!
As Jenkins thought this, she heard Peter calling out for her. “Hey, little maid, where are you? Anyone there?”
Jenkins took a deep breath.
Didn’t this man have any manners? Being a maid was just her job, not her name!
She rolled her eyes.
When the noise from outside had finally died down, Jenkins sighed in relief and opened the storage room door. She peeked around to see no sign of Peter and stepped out.
“That bastard is here to cause me trouble again! I can’t let him catch me out…” She muttered as she prepared to go downstairs when suddenly someone tapped her
shoulder.

Jenkins spun around only to find Peter standing right behind her, smiling.
Jenkins almost jumped.
Why was this guy still haunting her?
She stared wide–eyed in panic and shouted, “Don’t even think about making me pay more, hear me? The thirteen thousand is already five months of my salary! If you want more, I’ll quit, you…”
Before she could finish, a bag appeared before her.
Jenkins blinked.
Peter said, “Open it and see.”
Jenkins frowned and peeked into the opened bag. Inside was a dress identical to the one Susan had on, which had been ruined by the fruit.
Jenkins was stunned. “What’s this?”
“When Susan comes back, you can give it to her,” Peter scratched his head. “I didn’t realize thirteen thousand dollars meant so much to you, nor did I know it was that much money… Give her this dress, and you’ll be cleared of all debts.”

Jenkins looked at him. “I’ll pay you back slowly…”
Peter immediately said, “That won’t be necessary… I know you’re innocent, and you didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, that dress will be good as new after a wash…”
At this point, he sighed. “I just thought we could end this matter if both sides gave a little. Consider this
dress a reimbursement from me.”
Hearing this, Jenkins blanked out for a moment.
She never expected Peter to say such a thing. Could Peter be so kind–hearted?
Perhaps, in his view, the issue between Jenkins and Susan was like a mere squabble between brothers, and Susan’s apology and Jenkins‘ compensation could
cancel each other out…
Of course, Jenkins was also responsible for bumping into Susan; she shouldn’t have walked so fast in the house and should have paused at the doorway.
She was silent for a moment before saying, “Thanks, but I’ll give you the money once I’ve saved enough.”
Peter smiled. “You don’t need to; otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair to you, Actually, Susan is quite a nice

person. You just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Otherwise, Susan is usually kind and wouldn’t make things difficult for you.”
“Alright then.”
Jenkins smiled, looked at Peter, and took the dress.
“Thanks a lot, then. Consider this dress as gratitude for saving your life!”
“What do you mean?”
