Susan Simpson was bewildered.
She stared at Peter Olsen in disbelief, her voice suddenly becoming sharp: "What did you say?"
Peter Olsen spoke up: "South Jenkins gave up calling the police for me, so consider that I've taken the blame for you, repaid your lifesaving grace. Let's call off our engagement."
Susan Simpson immediately shouted angrily: "No! I don't agree!"
She stepped back two steps, then pointed at South Jenkins: "Have you fallen in love with her? Tell me, did she seduce you! Or have you two been colluding all along? Peter, wasn't I the one you loved the most? How can you call off our engagement over such a trivial matter?"
Peter Olsen sighed: "Don't talk nonsense, this has nothing to do with South Jenkins, it's my own issue. I misunderstood our feelings..."
Susan Simpson immediately shouted angrily: "What misunderstanding? This is not a misunderstanding at all. Weren't we fine before South Jenkins appeared? It's her presence that changed you!"
