Stanley frowned. "You only asked Henry to come. Haven't you thought about Violet?"
He was already married, but she told him to go out and celebrate his birthday with friends.
What was she thinking?
Ivy's eyelids drooped. She pretended to be hurt and replied, "But... didn't you quarrel with Miss Hunt? I
thought you didn't plan to celebrate your birthday with her, so... "
"We made up," Stanley answered in a flat tone.
...
Although Violet hadn't actually told him that she forgave him, he was certain that she would definitely
forgive him after tonight.
Ivy seemed surprised and then covered her mouth. "You guys made up? When?"
Stanley didn't answer.
Ivy put her hand down. "I'm sorry, Stanley. I really didn't know you made up with Miss Hunt. But did you
really sort it out?
"What do you mean?" Stanley looked at her suspiciously.
Ivy fiddled with her clothes with both hands. "Didn't you have a quarrel with Miss Hunt because her
mother hit your parents? Now you make up with her. Won't you be sorry for your parents?"
Actually, when she caught sight of Violet at the villa in the morning, she already speculated that Stanley
had made up with Violet.
But she didn't know what happened between them. Why were they reconciled all of a sudden? She
definitely couldn't get anything from Violet, so she specifically came to the Murphy Group to see if she
could get any information from Stanley.
"No." Stanley unfolded his fingers and picked up the pen again. "It wasn't Lily who hit my parents."
"What? It was not Lily?" Ivy's eyes flashed with viciousness, but she looked shocked on the surface.
"So... we've misunderstood? But the video clearly..."
"Someone deliberately used a shooting technique which would make people misunderstand in that
video." Stanley pressed his thin lips and replied in a deep voice.
This shooting technique was quite common in show business.
Nearly every paparazzi knew how to do it.
Ivy swallowed hard as he wasn't looking. "It turned out to be like this. Then who hit your parents?"
"People working for Sam," Stanley said word by word.
Ivy gave a gasp. "Sam? How... how could he do that? Isn't he your father's elder brother?"
"There's no so-called family in a rich and powerful clan." Stanley raised his head to look at her. His
voice was unemotional.
Ivy's heart skipped a beat.
Due to his words, she couldn't help but think of the incident ten years ago.
Fortunately, he didn't know, otherwise, she thought he was implying what she did.
"Yeah... you're right." Ivy barely forced a smile, saying in an uncertain voice.
Stanley rubbed his forehead. "Well, I won't go to dinner with you and Henry tonight. I promised Violet
that I would celebrate my birthday with her."
"Okay, you guys are a couple. You should celebrate it together. I won't go back to the villa to disturb
you tonight," Ivy said with a forced smile.
Stanley agreed. "Is there anything else?"
Ivy shook her head. "No, I'm leaving then. Get back to your work."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.
After walking out of the president's office, the expression on Ivy's face instantly changed, which looked
extremely gloomy and reluctant.
In order to make Stanley and Violet break up, she finally managed to ask that man to send the video to
Stanley.
She thought that she was about to succeed.
She didn't expect that Stanley found out that there was something wrong with the video and he even
discovered the real murderer who hit his parents, and then made up with Violet. Her plan was
completely ruined.
She was reluctant to accept it!
She fell in love with Stanley since they were kids. In order to be with Stanley and marry him, she could
do everything. She could even plot against her parents. However, she failed to deal with Violet, who got
away with it every time.
She couldn't figure out why. How could Violet be so lucky?
Ivy clasped her hands tightly together, her nails sticking into her palm. But she didn't care, as if she
didn't feel it.
She came to a quiet stairwell, took out her cell phone, and dialed a secret number.
The phone was soon connected, and a man's low and impatient voice sounded. "Didn't I tell you not to
call me if nothing serious happened?
"Stanley made up with Violet. Is this nothing?" Ivy replied mockingly.
The man on the other end of the phone was silent for several seconds. His voice sounded unpleasant,
"What did you say? They made up?"
"Yeah, our plan failed. Are you disappointed, Ivan?" Ivy sneered.
Ivan sniggered, "The most disappointed one should be you. You failed to get Stanley several times."
"You..." Ivy's face twisted in anger.
But soon, her mood changed, and she smiled gleefully, "Ivan, don't get too cocky. Although I still can't
be with Stanley this time, you got nothing too. You can't be with Violet, but your father, the real culprit
who killed his parents, was also found out by Stanley."
She and Ivan made that video and sent it to Stanley, hoping to completely separate Stanley and Violet.
Ivan wanted to be with Violet while she wanted to be with Stanley and became his wife, so she and
Ivan shared common goals.
Unexpectedly, things did not follow the direction planned by her and Ivan in the end, so that the plan
completely failed.
But fortunately, Stanley didn't find out that it was she and Ivan who did it.
"That's impossible!" Ivan clenched his fists. His enchanting face now became extremely serious,
"Stanley can't find out about my dad."
His grandpa destroyed the evidence. How did Stanley find it?
Ivy rolled her eyes and said, "Nothing is impossible. You underestimated Stanley. I guess he may
probably figure out what your grandpa's will is. When Stanley finds the will, your family will be over."
When Ivan heard this, his eyes looked extremely vicious. He gave a wicked smile. "Oh? We're done.
What about you? Do you think you will be any better? Why didn't Stanley's parents drive a car but walk
on the road? Do you want me to say it out loud, Ivy?"
Ivy was dumbfounded. Her face went pale, her body trembling. Cold sweat stood out on her forehead.
Her hands holding the phone were shaking, and her voice sounded even more panicked, "I... I don't
know what you're talking about."
"Oh, stop pretending. There's something to do with you when Stanley's parents and your parents died.
I know I'm not a good person. But you're much more vicious than me. 18 years ago, you were only 8
years old. 10 years ago, you were only 15 years old, right? Tut-tut..."
Ivy's legs went limp and she fell down on the floor. After a long while, her lips trembled and she finally
uttered a word, "What... what else do you know?"
"I know everything you do. Although you have been careful and vicious since you were a kid, you're still
a kid after all. You would leave traces when you did things. Everything you did can be found out easily.
Only an idiot like Stanley never sees your true colors."
Speaking of this, Ivan rested his chin in the land lazily. "But Stanley has received elite education since
he was a child. He has no knowledge of sophistication. Besides, he has been overprotected by my
grandpa and his parents, and rarely sees the darkness of human nature. It's normal that he can't see
you through."
"But..."
"What?" Ivy shrieked, feeling extremely frightened.
