"Is it you?" Violet squeezed the phone and asked.
Phoebe was confused, "What are you talking about?"
"Is it you who ordered the one to kill me last night and today?" Violet stood up.
Phoebe froze for a while, then laughed, "Haha… There are finally other people who hate you guts and want your life."
"What do you mean? It’s not you?" Violet narrowed her eyes.
Phoebe curled her lips, "Nonsense, of course it's not me. I really want you to die, but everyone knows that we have grudges. Once you have an accident, everyone will doubt me first. I'm not so stupid to kill you now. You should think for yourself whether you have offended other people."
After speaking, she hung up the phone.
Violet dropped the phone. Lily looked down at her, "Baby, it’s really not her?"
Violet rubbed her temples, "I don't know! The main purpose of my call is to test her. If it’s really her, I should be able to feel something wrong, but I didn't feel it just now."
"That's not her, who would it be?" Lily patted the sofa angrily.
Violet looked down and said nothing.
Indeed, whether it was the words that the murderer said last night or the words on the elevator box just now, they all point to Phoebe. After all, Phoebe was Stanley’s fiancée and had grudges with her. Phoebe often said that Violet wanted to snatch Stanley away, so it was normal for Phoebe to kill her.
But the conversation with Phoebe just now gave Violet another kind of speculation, which was that the real murderer wanted to put the blame on Phoebe. Someone wanted to kill her, but he also wanted to put the blame on Phoebe and let her take the blame. If this was the case, the real behind-the-scene would be so scheming and vicious.
Just when Violet was thinking about this, Calvin came out of the children's room, "Mommy."
Violet forced a smile, "Why did you come out? Didn't I let you stay with your sister in the room?"
"Arya was tired from crying and fell asleep." Calvin climbed onto the sofa and sat down beside her.
Violet hugged his little shoulder, "What's the matter, baby?"
"Mommy, I can't find the person who wants to kill Mommy. That Phoebe is not the murderer." Calvin lowered his head. His face was full of guilt.
Violet frowned, "Honey, didn't Mommy tell you that don't participate in adult affairs? Why are you..."
"I'm worried about Mommy!" Calvin interrupted her.
Violet opened her mouth and suddenly became speechless.
Lily patted the back of Violet's hand, "Well, Violet, he is worried about you. Don't get angry with him. Listen to what Calvin has found! Why is it not Phoebe?"
"Well." Violet sighed and agreed.
Calvin frowned. His immature face showed the same coldness as Stanley, "Mommy, I just checked Phoebe's bank account and her various electronic products. Then I found that she has not transferred recently. She didn’t contact others, nor even the surveillance video captured that she left the house."
"In other words, she didn't contact anyone, didn't spend any money to bribe someone, and didn't take the initiative to see anyone, so her suspicion can be basically cleaned up." Violet pursed her lips.
Calvin nodded, "Yes."
"Why isn't it her? If it's really her, we can get her up early. I'm really unwilling!" Lily patted the table with regret, "No, I have to ask those people at the police station to have any other clues."
With that, she turned and went out.
Violet didn't stop Lily. She pulled Calvin's soft little hand.
Calvin pursed his mouth, a little unhappy, "Mommy, the real murderer hides too deep. I have no clues to find her out. I'm sorry."
"Sweetie, you have done a good job." Violet kissed her son's forehead.
Calvin blushed.
At this moment, Violet's cell phone rang.
Calvin took a look, then his face became colder, "Mommy, it's Uncle Murphy."
