Violet didn't deny it, "Yes."
Ivan seemed to be in a good mood, he laughed out loud.
He uttered, "I'd ask you to thank me with something else, but I know you wouldn't necessarily say yes,
so I might as well have dinner with you."
Violet squeezed the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, not speaking.
Ivan stood up, "Alright, take a good rest. I'll go out to run some errands first, I'll see you for dinner."
Violet nodded.
Ivan walked towards the door.
Just as he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something else and turned his head to look at her,
"By the way, I heard that Stanley is still looking for me recently, you won't him I am here, will you?"
"No." Violet shook her head and looked at him seriously.
If she hadn't met those two men, or been saved by him, she would have told Stanley.
But he happened to save her, so she wouldn’t do that.
Next time, though, she would tell him.
Ivan smiled lightly, "Good."
With those words, he opened the door and walked out.
Violet was the only one left in the ward.
She leaned back against the pillows as if she had taken off her strength.
Honestly, Ivan was the man she dreaded seeing the most, and being alone with him, she had to bring
out almost all of her guard against him.
Otherwise, one mistake could lead her inside a trap.
Luckily, Ivan didn't do anything to her, even if she owed him a favor, he didn't mention conditions for her
to repay like he did before.
Had he changed, or was he cooking up some more conspiracy?
Violet lowered her eyes and she couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it, but the caution
in her heart didn't drop.
No matter what, after eating, she hurried away from Ivan, definitely not staying with Ivan for long.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang.
Violet's thoughts were interrupted and she picked it up to see that Linda was calling.
"Violet, where are you, why aren't you back yet?" A concerned greeting came from Linda over the
phone.
Violet smiled, "I'm at the hospital, what's wrong?"
"What, you're in the hospital?" Linda increased her voice.
Violet said yes.
"Violet, what's wrong with you? Why are you in the hospital? Did something happen to your belly?
Which hospital are you in? I'm coming over to you." Linda asked as she walked towards the villa's front
door.
Violet rubbed her belly.
She did not feel anything wrong, so the baby should be fine in her belly.
"I am fine, you don't need to come over. I just fainted and was sent here." Violet replied simply.
She didn't want to say anything about her encounter, lest Linda worry even more.
In case Linda accidentally told Stanley, or the consequences would be even more serious.
"How could you faint?" Hearing that, Linda knew that Violet was indeed fine.
However, she was still a bit uneasy about Violet's coma.
Violet's eyes flashed, "Maybe I've been too tired lately, well, Linda, never mind. What do you want from
me?"
"Oh, right." Linda replied, "An old man just came to the villa and said he wanted to see you, but you
weren't in so I sent him off."
"Old man?" Violet was confused, "What did he look like?"
"He has beard and a mole on his face, dressed in fancy clothes." Linda recalled and described it.
The corners of Violet's mouth raises, she immediately understood who he was, "Linda, is his name
Merced?"
"Yes, yes, Merced." Linda slapped her forehead, "He has introduced himself, but forgot it, fortunately
you reminded me, but Violet, how do you know his name is Merced, you know him?"
"My teacher's name is Merced." Violet replied with amusement.
Linda opened her mouth wide, "...... I really forgot, so he is your teacher?"
Violet nodded, "When I came over here for the competition, I told my teacher where I live and he said
he would come to me, I didn't expect him to come so soon."
Her teacher was also a judge for international competitions.
But he was a judge for the finals, so the fact that her teacher’s arrival surprised her.
"I'm sorry, Violet, I did not know that, if I did, I'll help you to entertain him properly, I ......"
Linda was embarrassed.
Violet smiled, "Well, it's fine, I'll give him a call later."
"Ok." Linda nodded.
When the call ended, Violet immediately called Merced, wondering why he had come over so early,
wasn't he supposed to be at the Top Designer Exchange?
However the phone calls went unanswered.
Violet didn't think that something was wrong with Merced not answering the phone, for, as a top
designer, it was impossible for Merced not to have bodyguards around to protect him.
So there should have been some kind of delay and that's just why he didn't get the call.
Violet put down her phone and sent a message to Merced instead.
She was sure that her teacher would call back when he read it.
In the evening, Violet and Ivan had a dinner at a hotel.
Violet didn't choose a private room, but set the location in the hall.
The hall was crowded, with people coming and going, and although it was a bit noisy, it was safe, and
she didn't have to worry about what Ivan would do to her.
After all, she was really scared of staying in a room with a crazy man like Ivan.
Ivan seemed to read what was going through Violet's mind, looking at her with a smirk on his cheek,
"Why, are you really so afraid of me?"
Violet pulled the corner of her mouth, "Yeah, after all, you like to take people to jump from cliff."
Ivan laughed out loud, "So Violet, you remember."
"I'll never forget it for the rest of my life." Violet took a sip of water and responded.
Ivan picked up the red wine, shaking it, "Have you been doing well recently? I heard that you had a
conflict with Stanley some time ago, almost to the point of getting a divorce."
Violet looked up at him, "You know it, you're abroad, but you're quite well-informed."
Ivan smiled, "Stanley is bent on catching me, and I naturally follow his every move in order not to get
caught by him, so it's normal to know this."
"So, do you know the reason for my conflict with Stanley?" Violet stared at him.
A dark light crossed Ivan's eyes, he took a sip of red wine with a smile, "Of course, because of his
parent’s death."
"Since you know that, you should also know that Stanley found out that the murderer of his parents
was your father." Violet added.
"Since you know that, you should also know that Stanley found out that the murderer of his parents
was your father." Violet added.
