It was nighttime abroad at this time, and Violet didn't know if Steven had felt asleep, so she was mentally prepared for Steven not answering the phone.
But Steven had not slept and he answered the phone, “Sis?”
“Steven, did I wake you up?” Violet asked in a soft voice.
After her mother died, Steven was her only family besides her two children.
“No, I just came back from the exhibition at the art museum, is there something wrong?” Steven asked, accompanied by a couple of coughs.
Violet heard it and instantly tensed up, “Are you sick, Steven?”
“I got a cold, but I am fine, don't worry.” Steven smiled with a somewhat pale face.
How could Violet not be worried?
But there was nothing she could do. Steven was abroad and she couldn't go and take care of him.
“Did you see a doctor?” Violet asked with concern.
Steven nodded, “Yes, I am taking medicine, but I am better today. I think I will be well tomorrow.”
“Good.” Violet raised the corner of her mouth.
Steven asked, “Sister, what do you call me for?”
“Well, I just want to know something. When Mom used to take care of you at home, did she often go to Jordan?” asked Violet.
Steven tilted his head in confusion, “Are you talking about Stanley’s grandfather?”
“Yes.” Violet nodded.
Steven nodded, “Yes, she often went to Jordan, I heard from Mom that she was his goddaughter.”
“Then when mom went to Jordan, was there anything wrong with her?” Violet continued.
Steven frowned slightly, “What do you mean?”
Violet didn't know what to say and was silent.
Seeing that, Jessie grabbed her phone, “Steven, it's me.”
“Jessie.” Steven greeted with a smile.
“Good boy!” Jessie responded with satisfaction, she then said, “Well, your brother-in-law has gone crazy these past few days and has been coldly violent towards your sister, and as for the reason, it's because your mother might have done something to offend his family, so your brother-in-law is now taking his anger out on your sister.”
“What?” The smile on Steven's face froze, “He did that? Is my sister okay?”
“She is sad, but after I comforted her, she is already better, so we are now trying to figure out what your mother had done so that we can solve the conflict between your sister and brother-in-law, otherwise your sister and brother-in-law will have to divorce.” Jessie said.
Steven frowned, “I don't know what mom did to offend his family.”
“Think about it, your mother used to take care of you and you spent the most time with her, so maybe you knew it, but you just overlooked it.” Jessie added.
They could only start with Steven to get to know the truth.
After all, Stanley and Fraser refused to say anything.
“Okay, I'll think about it.” Steven's face was serious as he responded.
For his sister's sake, he was going to have to reminisce.
While Steven was searching his memory, Jessie returned the phone to Violet.
Violet sighed, “Perhaps, Steven really doesn't know.”
“Anyway, let's wait and see, or, Violet, buy some sleeping pills and try to feed them to Mr. Murphy, or get Mr. Murphy drunk, and then ask him the question. What do you think?” Jessie looked at her.
