Violet took out her mobile phone to check the time. Then she stood up in surprise, "Ah, it's almost nine o'clock. Baby, go to wake up your sister. She will be late for school in a while."
This morning, she was so angry that she forgot to wake up the two children.
Calvin rubbed his eyes. Then he turned around and went back to the room.
Stanley also stood up, "I'll drive Arya to school in a moment. It's not convenient for you to go out now. There are too many people who know you."
Violet nodded slightly. She did not refuse, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Murphy."
Almost everyone on the Internet knew her.
In case when she drove Arya to school and a parent who had watched her competition recognized her, they might also instigate their children to stay away from Arya at school and not play with Arya. This was not a good thing for Arya.
"Never mind." Stanley waved his hand.
Then he thought of something, looked at Violet and asked, "You haven't had breakfast yet, right?"
"No." Violet shook her head.
Stanley raised his chin, "Then wait a minute."
After speaking, he walked towards the door.
Violet blinked in surprise.
Was he going to buy them breakfast?
Thinking about it, Violet hurriedly chased him, wanting to stop him.
However, when she went out of her house, she saw that he went into his own apartment.
Violet couldn't follow up, so she could only stop and wait in place.
After waiting for about two minutes, Stanley came out carrying a paper bag. Seeing her standing at the door, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, "Are you waiting for me here?"
"Yeah." Violet forced a smile, "I just wanted to tell you that we have sandwiches. Just heat them up. You don't need to buy us breakfast. You left before I could say it."
Hearing this, Stanley's joy that had just risen in his heart dissipated immediately. He passed the bag with a sullen face, "Sandwiches are not good for children to digest. Let them eat this. Bella made it in the morning."
"But..." Violet moved her lips and wanted to say something.
Stanley interrupted her, "It's getting late. Waiting for you to heat up your breakfast, it's too late for Arya to go to school."
Hearing this, Violet had nothing to say. It took her a while before she said, "Well, thank you, Mr. Murphy."
After speaking, she reached out to take the paper bag and compromised.
Stanley's face eased a lot. He gave a hmm, and went into the apartment with her.
After eating breakfast, Stanley took Arya and left. Violet stayed in the apartment to accompany Calvin. Meanwhile, she paid attention to the online situation.
The viewers on the Internet were becoming more and more irritated. Many paid Internet trolls were leading the comments. They posted some imaginary things as if they had actually happened.
Many netizens couldn't tell the truth of the matter. Besides, Violet didn't say anything. So they believed that Violet really got involved into Stanley and Phoebe, causing them to cancel the marriage contract, so the scolding became more and more severe.
For a time, Violet became notorious.
Calvin knew it. After using his hacking skills to understand the cause of his Mommy being scolded, he hated this grandpa who had only met once.
"Mommy." Calvin took a printed list and came into Violet's study.
Violet hadn't paid attention to the Internet anymore at the moment. She was upset by those comments, so she just ignored them, sitting behind the desk and drawing the design with a pencil.
The clothes on the paper were not the women's clothing she was best at, but a set of men's suits.
This was what she promised to compensate Stanley some time ago. However, she had been busy with the competition recently and didn’t have time to design it. It just so happened that she didn't have to go to the studio today, and there was no competition, so she just had time to design.
"What's the matter, baby?" Violet looked up at her son who walked in, and asked softly.
"All right, come in." Violet let go of the doorknob and let them in.
After they came in, Violet closed the door and dragged Calvin behind them back to the living room.
Jessie helped George sit down on the sofa. Looked at the big bouquet of roses, Jessie exclaimed, "Violet, who gave you this flower?"
George also looked at those roses. A dim light flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.
"Uncle Murphy." Before Violet answered, Calvin next to her had already spoken.
"Mr. Murphy?" Jessie raised her eyebrows.
George's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Violet squinted at the talkative little guy, "Go back to your room."
The little guy stuck his tongue out and went back to the room.
Violet took two glasses of water in front of the water dispenser and handed them to Jessie and George. Then she gave a hmm, and replied, "It’s him."
"Why did he give you roses for no reason? He is pursuing you?" Jessie swallowed, asking incredulously.
Violet shook her head, "How could it be possible? He congratulated me on winning the competition."
"I can understand he sent you flowers to congratulate you. But why did he send you roses?"
"Enough!" George said with a cold face, and interrupted Jessie in a deep voice, "Violet said it was just congratulating her on winning the competition. Don't guess."
Being yelled at by him, Jessie’s lips moved and then she stopped talking. Even the cheerful and lively expression on her face became sad.
Upon seeing this, Violet was a little unhappy about George's attitude to Jessie. She pursed her red lips, and was about to speak.
George looked at her suddenly, "Violet, how are you going to deal with the problem on the Internet?"
