Hearing these words, Stanley and Violet looked at each other.
The woman, Mrs. Watts, knew something indeed knew something about it.
"You really do know that Ivy had something to do with my parents' death." Stanley's eyes stared at Mrs. Watts with icy coldness.
Mrs. Watts bowed her head, "Yes, I know."
"You hid it, you only told Miranda that Ivy had killed someone, but you didn't tell Miranda who Ivy had actually killed." Violet said.
Mrs. Watts covered her face and let out a sob, "I'm sorry, because I couldn't talk about it at the time, and I didn't dare to. That night, I was attending a party and was drunk, I got dizzy, so I went to the garden to blow the wind to clear my head, and then I heard Mrs. Ellis and Ivy's conversation."
"Please tell me more about it, Mrs. Watts." Violet shook Stanley's hand and said in a pleading tone.
Mrs. Watts nodded, "I will, after all, you have come to ask me, and I know I can't hide it, I will tell you all I know. That night, I heard Mrs. Ellis questioning Ivy why she wanted to get Mr. Murphy’s parents killed, Ivy said it was because Mr. Murphy’s mother found out her true nature and had to dissolve her relationship with her as her godmother, so Ivy decided to kill her."
"So that's how it is." Violet bit her lip.
Just because Stanley's mother had discovered Ivy's true nature, Ivy was going to kill her. This devil had actually survived until now.
Stanley's fists were clenched deathly, and a strong killing intent pervaded his body.
He didn't expect that Ivy would want to kill his parents for just such a reason.
Did his parents not treat her well enough?
If he could have known all this earlier, he wouldn't have let someone take care of Ivy for ten years on account of her being his mother's goddaughter.
He should have just cut off Ivy's salvation when she was in the car accident.
It was him. He was the one who saved his parents' enemies with his own hands.
He was sorry to his parents!
Sensing Stanley's emotions, Violet squeezed his fingers, "Stanley, calm down, let's continue to listen to Mrs. Watts, okay?"
The woman's gentle voice pulled back some of Stanley's sanity.
He took a breath and closed his eyes, barely calming down as he nodded slightly, "Mrs. Watts, please continue."
"Okay." Mrs. Watts nodded her head, "I was very shocked to hear a ten year old girl could be so bad that she dare to kill someone, besides that, what shocked me more was what Ivy did to Mrs. Ellis."
"Ivy made a move on her mother?" Violet was surprised.
Mrs. Watts nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Ellis probably realized at that time that the trouble that Ivy had caused was beyond her resolution and was ready to take Ivy to turn her in, but what I didn't expect was that Ivy said that if Mrs. Ellis dared to take her to turn her in, she would commit suicide and make Mrs. Ellis and her husband lose their child forever. Mrs. Ellis cried at that time, saying how she had given birth to such a devil who gave her parents sterilization drugs."
Violet sucked in a breath of cold air.
Even Stanley raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Ivy gave his parents sterilization drugs?" Violet swallowed and said in shock.
Mrs. Watts nodded, "Ivy had an arrogant attitude at the time, saying to Mrs. Ellis that they could not give birth to younger siblings to steal her resources, so she simply drugged them so that they could never have another child for the rest of life, and because of that, Mrs. Ellis gave up on the idea of taking Ivy to turn herself in."
