Henry's pupils flinched and he was stunned.
Stanley meant that he wouldn't kill Ivy, but he would deal with her ruthlessly.
As for how ruthless it was, looking at Stanley's cold, emotionless eyes, Henry knew very well that the consequences were definitely something he didn't dare to think about.
"Stanley ......"
"All right, go out." Stanley waved his hand and gave the order.
Henry's mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but seeing the indifference on Stanley’s face, he ended up saying nothing, took a sign and walked out.
Stanley closed his eyes and lay down.
He was still dizzy, which was the aftereffects of the overpowering drug, and he had to take longer rest.
Until the afternoon, Stanley felt recovered and left the hospital, heading for the hotel.
Instead of going to Ivy, he went to that woman first.
The woman was scared from being locked up, and when she saw Stanley's arrival, she was even more scared.
"Mr. ...... Mr. Murphy." The woman's lips trembled as she uttered.
Stanley looked at her with an expressionless face, "How much did Ivy give you?"
The woman instantly knelt down, begging for mercy, "Mr. Murphy, I know I'm wrong, I shouldn't have helped Miss Ellis in a moment of greed for that little money, I'm sorry, please let me go, I will not do it again!"
With that, she came towards Stanley on her knees and tried to go hug Stanley's thighs.
But Stanley had expected that and kicked her straight away.
The woman lied on the ground, with fear all over her face, "Mr. Murphy ......"
"Don’t you understand my question? How much money did Ivy give you?" Stanley stared at the woman with murderous intent in his eyes.
The woman shivered, not daring to cry anymore, but responded, "Three ...... Three hundred thousand!"
Stanley sneered, "You help her carry the crime of drugging for three hundred thousand? You're really cheap. Have you ever thought that you may die before you get that three hundred thousand?"
The woman drew a breath of cold air and she was stunned, "Mr....... Mr. Murphy, are you gonna to kill me?"
"Do you think I'll let you off the hook?"
The woman was trembling, "Mr. Murphy, it wasn't me, it was Miss Ellis. I didn't drug you, I just took charge of bringing you to the break room and then revealed to you that I drugged you so that you wouldn't suspect that it was Miss Ellis, so it was all arranged by Miss Ellis, it's none of my business, Mr. Murphy!"
"It's true that you didn't drug me, but what you did was enough to ruin my family, so I definitely won't let you go." Stanley turned out after that.
The woman sat on the floor with a dull face and tears streaming down her face.
She regretted it, why did she do such a thing for three hundred thousand to set up the president of the Murphy Group.
If she got caught by him, she would see her consequence, why did she believe Ivy that she would be ok?
Ivy told her that if she was really caught by Mr. Murphy, Ivy would save her, but where was Ivy now?
The woman cried sadly, for her future fate would be dark.
Stanley walked out of the room and headed for the elevator.
Fraser followed behind, "Mr. Murphy, what do you want to do with that woman?"
"Have you found out who she is?" Stanley asked.
Fraser nodded, "Yes, she is a social butterfly with certain popularity in the circle, and the Lloyd family was in trouble because of this woman some time ago."
Stanley pursed his lips, "No, what really disappoints me is not that you're not innocent."
At those words, Ivy looked at him in surprise, as if she didn't understand what he meant by that.
Stanley calmly locked eyes with her, "In this circle, being simple and kind is indeed rare, but not being simple and kind doesn't mean it's bad, because it's people like that who can protect themselves and live well in this circle."
"Then what exactly are you disappointed about?" Ivy didn't understand.
Stanley rubbed his brow, "What I'm disappointed in is that it's the tactics you used on me."
Ivy bit her lip, "Am I wrong?"
"Aren’t you?" Stanley stared at her.
Ivy raised her head stubbornly, "What's wrong with me fighting for the one I love?"
"But I don't love you." Stanley replied desperately.
Ivy endured the stinging pain in her heart and said with red eyes, "I know, it's okay that you don't love me, but I love you, Stanley, when I was very young, I already fell in love with you, I always dreamed of being with you, and I thought I had this chance, but I never thought that Violet would appear halfway."
When she said that, her face was twisted.
Stanley saw it and coldly stated, "You hate her?"
"Yes, I hate her!" Ivy yelled, "Obviously it was me who first met you, but in the end, it is her who is with you, how can I not hate her?"
"So you target her and drug me?" Stanley's voice was as cold as ever.
Ivy's face was stained with tears, "I'm jealous of her, so I target her. I thought you guys would get a divorce last time, and I have been waiting, but all I got was the news that you guys made up, so I didn't want to wait anymore, I had to make a move."
At this, she smiled wryly, "Since you won't separate, I'll have to use this method to get you, but in the end, because of my soft heart, the plan failed!"
