My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

As the two of them left, Jenkins turned to Peter.

Peter frowned. "So… is what my sister said true?"

Jenkins paused. "Which part?"

"All of it!" Peter's tone was a mix of curiosity and exasperation.

Jenkins laughed softly. "Well, most of it's on the mark. Your sister's no innocent bunny—she's as sly as a fox."

Peter beamed with pride. "Of course. Nobody in the Olsen family is dumb."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Peter looked at her, confused. "Absolutely. Intelligence runs high in our family—my parents are both geniuses."

Jenkins raised an eyebrow. "Ever heard of the balancing theory?"

Peter tilted his head. "What theory?"

"That two smart people together can only produce an average child," Jenkins explained with a smirk. "It's nature's way of keeping things in check. Sometimes, I feel like Earth itself is just one big prison, and we're all under a very strict watch. Ever wonder why South family kids have such a hard time?"

Peter blinked, taken aback. "Uh… wait, what? Is that really a thing?"

Jenkins gave him a wry look. "Have you met your niece Amy? You should keep a close eye on her. The South family's lineage has been thinning out. They used to have hundreds fighting over the inheritance; now, there's barely nine. And all the women in the family? Trained since childhood, taking all sorts of hits to their bodies… It's a wonder they can even have children. Trust me, Amy's more valuable than you think."
