On this side, Stanley had gone to contact the officials of this country, and on the other side, Fraser was also bringing Calvin to Stanley.
Because next, Stanley needed Calvin's hacking skills and needed Calvin to check the satellite surveillance.
This night, Stanley stayed up all night.
How could he sleep when Violet had been taken away and her whereabouts were now unknown?
Not to mention him, even Jessie, Linda and Aimee didn't sleep, all three were busy helping to find Violet together.
Violet being taken away was something that none of them had expected.
But naturally, as friends, they had to do their best to get her back.
Soon it was getting light.
The salvage team, which Linda was in charge of, had delivered the news that Violet's bag had been salvaged, with all the cell phone jewelry inside.
Stanley looked at the bag Linda had brought back, and his fists clenched even tighter.
When Jessie saw this, he sighed, "We should be glad that Ivan's people only threw these things of Violet into the river and didn't throw Violet in the river too, otherwise ......"
"How could I spare him by throwing her into the river?" Stanley suddenly spoke, his voice cold and husky.
It was a voice he hadn't had any water all night.
Because he was worried about Violet, he couldn't be bothered to rest and drink water, and he wasn't even in the mood to eat.
Jessie listened to Stanley's words and first froze for a moment, then thought of something and stared wide eyed, "Right, I almost forgot, Ivan he ...... he likes Violet. I thought he took Violet just to get back at you, Mr. Murphy, and that letter last night was also to piss you off."
She slapped her forehead.
It was so important that she had forgotten.
Ivan took Violet with him before and fell off the cliff, Violet was unharmed, instead Ivan broke his arm and leg.
When Violet talked to her about it, she had a vague suspicion that Ivan had feelings on Violet.
It wasn't until that time when Violet said they found a lot of posters of Mr. Murphy's mother in Ivan's study that she completely understood that Ivan did like Violet.
Although Violet said that Ivan was using Violet as a stand-in for Mr. Murphy's mother, she didn't think so.
If Ivan really used Violet as a stand-in, the time he fell off the cliff, he would never have saved Violet.
So what she thinks is that there are half of each, with Ivan half treating Violet as a stand-in and the other half, literally loving Violet.
Then this time Ivan took Violet away, besides getting back at Mr. Murphy, it was just like what the letter said, possessing Violet.
If that was true, would Violet have been raped by Ivan by now?
If she had, would Mr. Murphy still love Violet that much after he rescued her?
Jessie looked at Stanley with some concern.
She really didn't have the confidence that he would still accept Violet wholeheartedly after Mr. Murphy rescued her, because men, really, are very realistic.
And Violet was really unable to resist if Ivan really wanted to do something to her.
For a while, Jessie's heart was clogged, worried about both Violet and Ivan.
Jessie's uneasiness was seen by Linda and Aimee.
Linda asked, "Jessie, what's wrong with you?"
Jessie to look at Stanley, her mouth open, not knowing what to say.
After a moment, she shook her head, pushing down the thoughts in her mind, and spoke, "I'm fine."
No, she could not voice her concerns, the first priority now is to find Violet.
If she said it, she might botch it up, and if Mr. Murphy now thought towards the aspect that Violet would be bullied by Ivan, maybe Mr. Murphy would just give up on Violet and not save her.
Anyway, no matter what, get Violet out first, and settle things later.
If Mr. Murphy really dislikes Violet in the future, then she'll let Violet divorce him!
With that thought, Jessie was temporarily relieved and said to Linda, "Linda, contact Fraser and ask how much longer they have to arrive!"
"Okay, I'm on my way." Linda nodded her head and took out her phone to call Fraser.
