"By the way, Stanley, do you want to report to the police about Ivy's suicide? After all, the police know that Ivy is in your hands." Violet looked at Stanley and asked.
Stanley lowered his eyes and said in a light voice, "Of course."
"And Dr. Baxter." Violet added.
Stanley frowned, "I'll have someone notify Henry later, well, let's go, there's no point in staying here anymore."
Violet gave a nod, "Okay."
She didn't want to stay here any longer either, it was really the thought of staying in the same villa with a dead man that made her feel a bit queasy.
The two left the villa and Fraser stayed behind to take care of the follow-up.
After all, Ivy's death must have required some proper handling as well. The disposal of the villa and the collection of Ivy's body all needed to be arranged.
When they returned home Bella came out, "Mr. Murphy, Mrs. Murphy, you're back."
Stanley nodded slightly in response.
Bella suddenly saw the blood on his hand and asked in surprise, "Mr. Murphy, are you hurt?"
"No, it's someone else's blood." Stanley replied.
He then went straight upstairs.
With Ivy dead, the hatred between him and Ivy would be gone.
But there were some things that he had not yet thought through and some hatred that he had not completely let go of.
He still needed, alone, to think about it and let go of it completely before he could do so.
Violet watched Stanley's figure disappear into the third floor stairwell until he was completely out of sight before she looked down and withdrew her gaze.
Bella looked at Violet in confusion, "Mrs. Murphy, what's wrong with Mr. Murphy? Why does he feel in a bit of a bad mood?"
"He is indeed in a bit of a bad mood because he didn't avenge himself, but his enemy died, it is a feeling that made him think about it." Violet said with a sigh.
Although Stanley said everything had been gone since Ivy’s death, but, he was clearly upset about Ivy's suicide.
But this discontent had nowhere to vent out, so he did not feel happy.
"His enemy is dead?" Bella exclaimed, "Ivy ......"
Violet nodded under Bella's surprised gaze.
Bella drew in a breath of cold air, "It's Mr. ......"
"No, it was Ivy herself who killed herself." Violet shook her head and replied.
Bella swallowed hard and took a long time to slow down, "Suicide? She would actually kill herself?"
Violet gave a laugh, "Pride got the better of her. She did not want to be disposed of by others, and at the same time she knew she couldn't escape, so that's why she cut herself."
"So that's it, then she had guts." Bella said with a grimace.
Violet didn't speak anymore, her eyes drooping as she was thinking.
After a moment, she shook her head, pushed down the emotion in her heart, and changed the subject, "Bella, where are Calvin and Arya?"
"Calvin has gone to the sparring gym, and Arya followed him there." Bella answered.
Violet nodded her head, indicating that she knew, and then asked nothing else.
Time flied and it was evening.
Stanley had not yet come out of the study and he did not even come down when Bella asked him to come downstairs for dinner.
Having no choice, Violet herself went up to him.
When she came to the door of Stanley's study, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
