Chapter 374 Five Years Ago
Chapter 374 Five Years Ago
"Okay, let’s go." Stanley carried Calvin towards Violet.
Violet looked at him and her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she closed her mouth and nodded her head.
On the way back, Violet didn't speak, her head lowered as she thought about something.
She was thinking about what Stanley had just said in the office.
Those words really shook her to her core.
How could she have imagined that he would say something about leaving the Murphy Group to Calvin when he didn't even know that the two children were his own?
And it was clear to her that he was serious.
He trusted them so much. Wasn’t he afraid that they would change the name of the Murphy Group in the future and then kicked him out?
Stanley watched Violet out of his corner of eyes, as if he read what was going through her mind. He chuckled, "Don't think too much, Calvin is still young."
Violet raised her head to look at him, "It's too rash for you to do that!"
"I don't think so, Calvin is smart. He has that ability to inherit the company and can take the Murphy Group one step further, so why can’t I do that?" Stanley said as he drove. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Violet rubbed his brow, "But aren't you afraid ......"
"Will you?" Stanley interrupted her.
Violet smiled, "Of course not, I'm not that kind of person. As for Calvin, I'll educate him properly and I won't let him become that kind of person."
"Good." Stanley raised his eyes and glanced in the rearview mirror.
The two children were cuddled together, leaning back in their seats and sleeping soundly.
Seeing this scene, his eyes softened slightly.
When Violet saw this, she also smiled, "Your birthday is coming up, I got a present for you."
"Really? I'm looking forward to it." Stanley withdrew his gaze and placed it on the road ahead.
"I won't let you down." Violet stretched her body.
Back at the villa, it was almost seven o'clock.
Stanley parked the car. Violet woke up the two children, and the family of four walked towards the villa holding hands.
As they reached the living room, a figure suddenly ran over and stopped in front of Stanley, looking at him with red eyes, "Stanley ......"
"What's wrong?" Looking at Ivy crying, Stanley frowned and asked with a concerned tone.
Ivy sniffed, and then timidly looked towards Violet, making it clear that her crying had something to do with Violet.
Violet rolled her eyes in her mind.
She probably guessed that it was still about what happened in the afternoon.
Well, it must take her effort to cry from the afternoon until now, so that she could tell Stanley.
"Stanley, it seems Miss Ellis has something to say to you, I'll take the two children upstairs first."
With that, she pulled her two children towards the stairs.
Stanley saw the figures of them disappeared before returning his gaze to Ivy, "What's going on?"
"Actually, it's not about Miss Hunt, it's me, Stanley, do you think I'm really wrong?" Ivy bit her lip, "Kelley came by this afternoon and asked Miss Hunt to persuade you to spare Ivan, she refused, and I ......"
Stanley narrowed his eyes, "What?"
"I agreed to help, and Miss Hunt and Bella blamed me for that." Ivy lowered her head and sobbed, "I just wanted to help Miss Hunt, but she ......"
She left the latter words unsaid, leaving Stanley to guess.
She cried in tears.
She thought Stanley would come to coax her when he heard her crying like this, however, Stanley stood there with his thin lips pursed, with the slightest intention to comfort her, instead, he spoke in a cold voice, "You are indeed wrong!"
"What?" Ivy stopped her sobbing and looked at the man incredulously, "I am wrong? Stanley, you think I'm wrong?"
"Ivy, ten years ago before you had the car accident, you already knew that I didn't get along with Ivan’s family. Now Ivan kidnapped Violet, what's wrong with me arresting him? Violet didn't do anything wrong by not agreeing to Aunt Kelley, why did you agree?"
"I ...... I just think that they are your families, it will be embarrassing to make such a stalemate. I agreed for Miss Hunt's sake, I'm worried that she will be given a hard time by Kelley." Ivy said with an aggrieved face.
Stanley's handsome face was icy, "I broke up completely with their family five years ago, so what if we make a stalemate? Besides, I'm the head of the Murphy family, Violet is my wife, which means she's the hostess of the Murphy family, who dares to make things difficult for her?"
"But ......"
"Enough!" Stanley cut her off with some impatience, "No matter what, I won't give up on capturing Ivan, that's the price he has to pay, so stay out of it. And I'll refuse Aunt Kelley."
He walked away after that.
Ivy stayed where she was, her hands clenched at her sides, feeling very upset over this failure.
She originally planned to befriend Kelley by persuading Stanley, so that Kelley would owe her a favor, and then she could use Kelley to spite and torment Violet.
Violet did not have a mother-in-law, but an unreasonable aunt would drive Violet crazy as well, so that Violet might not be able to stand the Murphy family, but gradually became conflicted with Stanley, after all, being caught between family and wife was a tiring thing for a man.
But she forgot that Stanley had broken up with Kelley's family!
Before her car accident, Stanley had conflicts with them, but they had not reached the point of breaking up.
What exactly happened five years ago between Stanley and Ivan’s family?
Ivy pursed her lips and wanted to check it out.
She took out her phone and made a call, "Hello, Great Grandpa, I want you to look into something for me."
Upstairs, Stanley entered his room, while Violet stood on the balcony in the wind.
He walked over and gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind, burying his head in the crook of her neck, kissing and sniffing.
Violet was itchy and couldn't help but shrink her neck, "Finished talking to Miss Ellis?"
"Yes." Stanley gently bit Violet's neck, leaving a red mark on it, "Ivy is wrong and she didn’t know I have broken up with them, so ......"
"Well, never mind." Violet interrupted him and turned around, wrapping her arms around his neck, "Let’s talk about others."
She didn't want to talk about Ivy.
"Talk about what?" Stanley stared down at her stunning face.
Violet smiled, "Whatever, you can say whatever you want."
"I don't want to talk, I want to do something." Stanley said with dark eyes.
Violet froze and went flushed, took back her hands from his neck and was ready to leave.
But as if he had expected it, Stanley pulled her back into his arms, pressed her against the balcony railing, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Ivy in the garden downstairs heard the movement and looked upwards.
Seeing that the two kissing on the balcony, she was jealousy.
Just now, she had learned from her great grandpa that the real reason for Stanley's breakup with Ivan’s family - Ivan drugged Stanley.
And the woman who had a fling with Stanley that night was Violet!
She'd always wondered when exactly the two of them had those two kids, and it turned out to be that night!
