Thinking, Violet dialed Stanley's number.
It seemed as if Stanley had been waiting for her call, as soon as the call came through, he answered,
"Hello."
"Stanley, you're awake?" Violet asked, sitting on the couch.
Stanley raised his chin slightly, "Yes, is the banquet over?"
Violet nodded with a smile, "Yes, it's over."
"Are you tired?" Stanley asked in a caring voice.
Violet massaged her shoulders, "Yes, I have been standing all day."
Stanley was silent for a few seconds before he continued, "Then I'll arrange a maid to take care of you
so you won't be so tired."
"No, I was kidding." Violet said with a tearful smile.
But Stanley still insisted, "You are pregnant, does it bother you?"
At that, Violet looked down and touched her belly, her eyes were gentle, "No, it behaved well."
Mostly, the pregnancy reaction hadn't really started yet, so naturally she didn't feel anything wrong.
But after a week, it might be the time to suffer.
Stanley didn't know what she was thinking and was sort of relieved to hear her words, "Good."
"Are the two kids up?" Violet picked up the glass of water on the coffee table and took a sip of it.
Stanley shook his head slightly, "No, I'll have Bella go wake them up."
"Ok." Violet responded.
Stanley then changed the topic, his voice becoming much colder, "By the way, I've found out some
things about Ivy."
Hearing these words, Violet immediately sat up straight, her face serious, "What did you find out?"
"Just like you said, Ivy did abuse the cat more than once." Stanley said as he rubbed his brow.
Violet snorted, "So she is possible to kill me."
Stanley didn't respond, but only said, "I've already asked the Pearce family to investigate whether Colin
has used his own power to harbor the murderer, if we find out that he has and that the person he has
been harboring is Ivy, the answer will naturally come out."
"If it is really Ivy, Stanley, what will you do?" Violet asked in a light voice with her eyes downcast.
Stanley's thin lips twitched, and as he was about to speak, Violet added, "I want to hear the truth."
"Ivy should naturally pay the price she deserves for what she has done." Stanley was emotionless as
he said that.
Violet smiled, feeling relieved.
Thankfully, he didn't let her down.
"Okay, Stanley, if it was really Ivy did that, I'll have her jailed, and you can't save her." Violet narrowed
her eyes and her voice was stern.
In short, there was no way she was going to let the murderer off the hook.
The thought of Calvin almost got killed made her hate the murderer even more.
Stanley heard the determination in Violet's tone and answered with a cold, hard face, "I won't save her."
From what he had found out, Ivy had a problem in her character.
He learnt that people abused animals at their young age were typical empathy deficient offenders.
Such people were generally sociopaths, selfish and vicious, who destroyed whatever displeased them.
It was possible that Ivy was one of those people, so she was dangerous to others.
However there was no evidence right now to lock Ivy up, and if he did so, it would irritate Ivy and she
might do something irrational.
"I am glad to hear that, but Dr. Baxter ......" Violet was worried.
Stanley's eyes sank, "I will talk to him."
"Alright then." Violet said with a smile, then yawned.
Stanley heard it and his voice softened, "Since you're tired, go and get some sleep."
"Ok." Violet nodded her head.
Stanley pressed his thin lips, "Goodbye."
He hung up the phone and told Bella to wake the two kids up.
The two kids were obedient and got up immediately.
After breakfast, Stanley drove them to school.
In the evening, Ivy's recovery party began.
After Stanley left the two children in the care of Bella, he had Fraser drive to the hotel.
Ivy, as the host of tonight's party, was wearing a white sheath dress and holding the arm of an elderly
man with gray hair, and was smiling as she wandered among the guests.
Suddenly, Ivy saw Stanley and her eyes lit up, she then came over, "Stanley, you're here."
Stanley nodded slightly before extending his hand towards Fraser.
Fraser immediately put a gift box into his hand.
Stanley handed Ivy the delicately wrapped gift box, "A gift for you."
"Thank you, Stanley." Ivy took it, and then looked at him with a smile, "Can I open it?"
"Of course." Stanley nodded.
Ivy opened it with excitement.
The old man beside her stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes as he surveyed Stanley, "Stanley, it's
been a long time."
"It's been a long time, Colin." Stanley smiled at Colin.
Colin gave a smile too, "By the way, aren't you married? How come your wife didn't come with you? I've
always heard Ivy say that your wife is beautiful, but I haven't met her yet."
Stanley straightened his cuffs and replied, "She's abroad for a design competition."
Colin was surprised and then nodded appreciatively, "Good for her, I wish her well in the competition."
"Many thanks." Stanley politely responded.
At this time, Ivy had already opened the gift, and inside was a blue diamond necklace.
Ivy covered her lips in surprise, "It's so beautiful, thank you, Stanley."
With that, she opened her arms, came forward, trying to hug him.
If it was before, Stanley would have hugged Ivy for the sake of politeness and Colin.
But after knowing something about Ivy, he pursed his thin lips and took a step back to avoid it.
Ivy felt incredulous, looking at him, "Stanley ......"
Stanley's eyes sank slightly, "Sorry, Ivy, I am married and you have a boyfriend, that's not right."
Ivy's face stiffened for a moment and she was about to say something.
At this hour, Stanley saw Henry, so he said to Colin, "Colin, Henry is here, I have to go over to him first,
excuse me."
After saying that, he headed towards Henry.
Ivy clutched the necklace in her hand with a grim face.
She could feel that Stanley's attitude towards her was suddenly much colder.
Although Stanley was not as cordial to her as before after he got married with Violet, he still cared
about her, so she was able to approach Stanley in front of Violet again and again.
But now, Stanley's attitude towards her was cold all of a sudden.
It wasn't that obvious, but it was still clear to her how cold he was looking at her.
Could it be that because Ivan had said something to Stanley?
At the thought, Ivy's face twisted and her body trembled before she bid farewell to Colin and went to
the break room to make a phone call.
On the other side, Stanley approached Henry who was drinking, "Ivy is over there, why don't you go
over to her?"
