NovelOnline797 Chapter 796 Keira didn't try to hide it from Erin.
So, as soon as she finished, Erin, who was munching on her food, froze mid-bite, her mouth dropping open in an "O" as she stared at Jenkins in disbelief.
After a moment's pause, Erin swallowed hard, pointed at Jenkins, and asked in shock, "Wait-who did you say she is?" She couldn't believe it. Jenkins, the timid one, who'd always been just a servant in the Olsen family. The one who, if it weren't for saving Peter back then, would barely have any presence at all—and Erin probably would've forgotten about her altogether. Could Jenkins really be Lion? Keira must have gotten it wrong, right? But Keira looked steadily at Jenkins, a small smile on her face.
Jenkins clenched her fists, meeting their gazes.
After a long silence, she finally sighed and visibly relaxed. "How did you find out?" "Ryan told me," Keira said simply. "He mentioned that every member of the South family has 'South' in their name, and that Lion was already here in Crera, in the Olsen family." Jenkins nodded, understanding. "So that's why you suddenly moved back in. You were keeping an eye on me." Keira shrugged. "Not really-I genuinely wanted to spend more twith Amy. Figuring out your identity was a complete accident. You and Peter—at first, it seemed like he was leading, and you were following. But in reality, the best hunters often disguise themselves as prey. It was hard to suspect you, considering you played the 'poor victim' card from the start." Keira took a step forward. "But now that I think about it, how could someone like Susan end up taking credit for saving Peter? Did you let her have it on purpose, and then slip into the Olsen family as a helpless victim? That way, no one would ever suspect you." Jenkins replied calmly, "But you still did." "Because it was all too convenient." Keira's eyes narrowed. "Realizing Susan wasn't Peter's savior, and then discovering it was you... Everything just fell into place." Jenkins gave a half-smile. "Convenient? Hardly. I had to go through so many hoops back then!" "But it was too perfect," Keira countered. "How could the supposed savior just happen to show up at the Olsen's as a housekeeper? In a city as big as Clance, how could there be such a coincidence?" Keira took another step closer. "What I really want to know is why you left Country A and call the way to Crera. And from what I've found, you've been here for years-five or six, right? Care to explain?" Jenkins fell silent, a distant look crossing her face.
Keira turned to Erin. "You once toldthere were nine contenders for the South family's inheritance. So tell me, how many of them are here in Crera? Let's count: Vera? What's her code name?" "Butterfly," Erin said casually. "She joined my team ages ago." Keira nodded. "So we have Butterfly, Rabbit, Fox, and Lion. Four of the nine are here in Crera. Doesn't that seem... unusual?" Jenkins and Erin exchanged a glance before Erin turned back to Keira, saying, "Actually, it's not surprising at all." Keira blinked. "Huh?" Erin rolled her eyes, focusing on her food.
