Violet and Stanley looked at each other and smiled.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're the most diligent." Violet rubbed the little girl's head in amusement.
The little girl's eyes were bent with happiness.
"Alright, go get your brother up, we're going back." Violet took her hand away from the little girl's head.
The little girl nodded and went inside.
Outside, Stanley and Violet stood together waiting quietly.
In a few minutes, the two kids came out.
Then the family of four, hand in hand, walked towards the front door.
"Violet." At the door, Violet was called out by a designer.
She stopped in her tracks, "What can I do for you? Belle."
This designer, named Belle, was relatively close to Violet and would usually greet each other when
they saw each other.
Belle walked over, her eyes glowing as she glanced at Stanley and the two children, "Violet, this is your
husband and children?"
"Yes." Violet nodded with a smile.
Belle gave Violet a thumb up, "Nice, in my opinion, all oriental men look the same, but now that I see
your husband, I realized that there are oriental men who are very handsome looking and not inferior to
our western men in height and figure, and your two children are very cute."
"Thank you for your compliment." Violet replied.
Belle waved her hand, "I gotta go, wish you happy."
"Okay." Violet nodded.
Belle then left to rendezvous with the other designers waiting for her.
Violet looked to the man, "Let's go, Honey."
Stanley nodded and led her and the two children towards the parking lot.
"So those two are Violet's children, they look too much like Mr. Murphy." Not far away, Belle spoke,
looking at the back of the family of four.
Pennie narrowed her eyes and bit her lips, "Alright, why don't you go?"
With that, she turned and walked towards the front.
Belle looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she was mad about.
Was it because she hadn’t pissed off Violet?
At this thought, Belle felt aggrieved.
It wasn't like she did not want to, but after the competition, Violet had left, and she couldn't find her
even if she wanted to go and get angry at Violet.
Now she was there, but her husband was around. If she went to piss off Violet, her husband would kill
her.
Violet didn't know about the tricks between Pennie and Belle, she got into the car and craned her head
towards the window.
Stanley asked while fastening his seatbelt, "What are you looking at?"
"Linda, she hasn't come out yet." Violet replied.
Stanley's thin lips twitched slightly, and when he was to speak, Violet's phone rang.
"It's Linda calling." Violet answered the phone, "Hello."
"Violet, I'm not going back tonight." Linda's voice came.
Violet was puzzled, "Why?"
"I just got a job to shoot for a magazine." Linda replied.
Violet responded, "All right, I see, take care of yourself."
"Ok, bye." Linda hung up the phone.
Violet put down her phone, "Let's go, Linda isn't going back."
Stanley's thin lips were slightly hooked, seemingly not surprised by this at all, he nodded and started
the car.
He had wanted to tell her that he was the one who had had a job arranged for Linda.
Because he did not want to his family to be disturbed.
Soon they arrived at the villa.
The maids in the villa had known that they were coming over, so they had the dinner ready.
After eating dinner, Violet sent the two children to bed before returning to her bedroom.
Stanley had changed into pajamas and was standing on the balcony talking to someone on his cell
phone.
Violet didn't bother him, but took her pajamas and headed to the bathroom.
"How is she doing?" Stanley asked over the phone.
Fraser's voice came, "Don't worry, Mr. Murphy, Miss Ellis is being watched and won't commit suicide
again, but she's not in a good mood and hasn't eaten all day."
"Not eating?" Stanley narrowed his eyes.
Fraser nodded, "Yes, the maid said that Miss Ellis is on hunger strike, but I don’t know if she is pushing
you or she is really in a bad spirit."
He felt the both.
Stanley sneered, "Never mind."
"Mr. Murphy, you don't care about that?" Fraser was surprised, "Miss Ellis may starve ......"
"There's plenty of nutrient solution waiting for her." Stanley pursed his lips and said faintly.
So many patients in hospitals unable to eat survived on nutritional solution.
Then surely Ivy could too.
Fraser was speechless at that.
Well, he was shortsighted, no wonder Mr. Murphy now was reluctant to appoint him as a subsidiary
president.
"I see." Fraser replied.
Stanley sipped his red wine, "Ask Henry to get a ward, if Ivy really passes out from hunger, send her
directly to the hospital and have Henry give her nutritional fluids."
"Ok." Fraser answered.
Stanley put down the wine and asked, "How's it going at Collin’s family?"
"His family has been being suppressed by the Pearce family recently and has become a mess, I
believe that in less than two or three months, his family will disappear from the ranks of the powerful in
the capital, and at that time, the Pearce family should give you the evidence that Collin is harboring
Miss Ellis." Fraser replied.
That was what happened when the offspring made mistakes.
Collin’s family was so powerful back then, but from the generation of Collin's son, his family had gone
downhill, simply because his offspring were not capable. Collin wanted to train an heir, but there was
no suitable candidate.
So much so that when Collin retired, his family fell even further behind, and was able to continue to
thrive until now. Because other powerful families saw the contribution Collin made to the country when
he was young, so they never took a shot at his family, otherwise his family would have been gone long
ago.
Because of this, the Pearce family, who was his political enemies, never took a move at him, until some
time ago, when one of his family member molested one of the Pearce family's young ladies, coupled
with the investment help that Mr. Murphy offered to the Pearce family, the Pearce family naturally would
no longer tolerate it and began to devastatingly suppress his family.
But Fraser didn't sympathize with his family at all.
His descendants did many intolerable things, and he, Collin, harbored Miss Ellis.
"Two or three months ......." Stanley took stock of the situation.
Two or three months later, Violet's international competition would come to an end.
When Violet returned home, she could see that Ivy and Colin would be exposed.
It was sort of a gift to her.
"Keep an eye on Ivy, don't let her die, and call me if anything wrong." Stanley spoke in a deep voice.
Fraser nodded, "Got it."
The call ended, and Stanley picked up his glass and turned to the room.
Listening to the sound of the water clattering in the bathroom, Stanley paused as a dark light flashed in
his eyes.
He then placed the glass on the bed side and lifted his feet towards the bathroom.
The bathroom door was not unlocked, so Stanley opened it easily.
Violet stood beneath the shower, the sound of rushing water obscuring the sound of the man's
footsteps as he entered.
It wasn't until the man wrapped his arms around her waist from behind that she was startled to realize
the man had entered.
