As he spoke, the force on Ivan's hands grew stronger and stronger.
Ivy's face was blushed from the pinch, her eyes bulging out and she couldn't breathe.
How could she have imagined that this man would be so shady and unpredictable, that with one word,
he would strike at her?
Ivy's mouth opened wide, trying to breathe, while her hands slapped Ivan's hands hard, trying to break
free.
But Ivan's hand, as if it was an iron vise, didn't loosen a bit because of her movements.
Soon, Ivy couldn't suck in breathable air and began to roll her eyes, and many tears were seeping out
of the corners of her eyes.
Just when Ivy thought she would really be strangled to death by Ivan, Ivan suddenly let go of her.
Ivy's body went limp and fell to the ground. She covered her neck and coughed hard, panting sharply.
It wasn't until after there was air in her lungs and her breathing had gradually smoothed out that she
realized she had escaped.
Ivan squatted down, reached out and patted Ivy on the face, "Talk to me respectfully in the future, be
polite, otherwise if you anger me, even if I don't kill you myself, I will send you to go to Stanley, and
then tell him that you are the second murderer of his parents, what do you think you will end up with?"
Ivy shivered, "No, don't give me to Stanley."
Ivan grinned up, "So, just be peaceful, be obedient, and do whatever I tell you to do, understand? A
dog has to behave like a dog."
Ivy dropped her eyelids to hide the hate in her eyes and nodded, "I understand, I'll do as I'm told."
"That's good." Only then was Ivan satisfied to remove his hand, stand up, and walk towards the
outside.
Outside, his assistant was waiting for him, and when he saw Ivan come out, he hurriedly handed over a
clean, wet towel.
Ivan took it and wiped up his hand that had touched Ivy in disgust.
The assistant walked behind him, "Boss, do we really have to keep that woman? That woman is a
tough nut. She can get people killed at such a young age, it's dangerous for us to keep her. she may do
harm to us one day ......"
"I know, but just because she's vicious, there are some things only she can do, but don't worry, I'll keep
her under control, and when she finishes the task, I'll be the first to kill her to avenge my aunt." Ivan
threw the towel to his assistant and said.
When the assistant heard him say that, he naturally couldn't say anything.
Ivan put his hands in his trouser pockets and asked, "Have you inquired clearly where Stanley put the
Axy's shares transfer letter?"
"No." The assistant shook her head, "But Mr. Murphy has already made it public that you are the
chairman of Axy, and has also asked you to go back and sign the share transfer."
"He's only doing this to make me go back and throw myself in the net." Ivan disdainfully curled his lips.
The assistant hesitated for a few seconds, "Boss, why are you so obsessed with Axy? Axy isn't a big
company, it's nowhere close to the Murphy Group. Instead of wanting Axy, you should have the Murphy
Group."
Ivan lowered his eyes, "You don't understand, Axy means something different to me, it was left to me
by my aunt."
She was a gentle, kind woman, who had made him feel the love of a mother.
She was the woman who kept him on his mind ......
The assistant looked at the deep emotions that flowed from Ivan's eyes and was shocked.
Boss and his aunt ......
The assistant swallowed, not daring to think about it any further, and hastily hung his head down.
On the other hand, Stanley finished the meeting and hurried back to Violet.
As soon as he entered the villa, he held Violet close to him and carefully surveyed her, "Are you okay?"
Violet knew what he was asking about and shook her head, "I am okay, luckily Fraser came in time,
don't worry, I'm fine."
Stanley pursed his thin lips and pressed her face to his heart, letting her listen to his rapidly beating
heartbeat.
The moment he heard that Ivan threw her into the lake, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
It was good that at last she had been successfully rescued.
Otherwise, he really didn't know if he would go crazy.
Violet quietly leaned into the man's arms, feeling his backwardness, and smiled slightly, "I'm sorry for
making you worry again."
"I'm the one who should apologize, I'm the one who pulled you into my life, that's why you're involved in
these dangers." Stanley said as he stroked her hair.
Violet rubbed his chest, "Well, don't blame yourself, it's just a momentary danger, when we catch Ivan,
it will be done."
Stanley didn't say anything anymore, just held her quietly.
Catching Ivan?
If it was that easy to catch him, he wouldn't have gone uncaught until now.
Ivan's power was not weaker than his, and probably Ivan's power in the country was far weaker than
his.
But abroad, he was sure that he was no match for Ivan.
Because Ivan was always abroad, the customs abroad were originally not as severe as the security at
home, so the people under Ivan were basically outlaws with hot weapons.
With this, it was difficult to catch Ivan abroad, so the reason why he couldn't catch Ivan after so long
was because Ivan was very powerful abroad.
When Violet saw Stanley didn't say anything, she understood his difficulties, and gently patted his back,
"Okay, honey, don't think about these unhappy things. Let's go, let's go upstairs to see the kids, the two
little ones are playing games in their room. They must be very happy to see you back."
Stanley nodded, "Let's go."
He took Violet's hand and went upstairs.
In the days that followed, things turned back to their usual calm.
It was as if all danger had been snuffed out.
But Violet knew the danger wasn't snuffed out, it was just hiding in the shadows, not bubbling to the
surface.
For the past few days, Stanley had been joining forces with Governor Baron to search the entire city,
trying to find Ivan.
Ivan would be shooting himself in the foot if he ventured out at this time.
So Ivan hid himself well.
But he was hiding too well, and the carpet search couldn't even find him, which made Stanley's face
look bad, and also made him understand that he still underestimated Ivan's power.
Ivan's power abroad was far greater than he thought.
It seemed that in order to find Ivan, using Axy's shares alone won't work either, and the power behind
Ivan must also be mapped out.
How on earth did Ivan develop such a large power in just five years? Ivan didn't have that much money
in his hands to cultivate a power that could come and go in several countries as he pleased.
The only possibility was that Ivan had met some kind of chance and inherited a certain power.
Stanley narrowed his eyes in thought.
Violet brought a cup of coffee to him, "Well, don't frown like an old man."
Old man?
Stanley raised an eyebrow at her before taking her wrist and pulling her onto his lap, "Oh? I'm an old
man?"
"Thirty-something, isn't that old?" Violet chuckled.
Stanley bit her earlobe and said in a husky voice, "When you reach three months pregnant, I'll show
you if I'm an old man."
Violet blushed and glared at him, "How can you think of that thing at any time?"
"What's wrong with that thing, isn't it normal ......"
Before the words were out of his mouth, his phone rang.
