George's throat twitched slightly, "I know."
At that time, all the relatives of the Joe family cut off relations with them unilaterally.
The family, who wanted to go to their relatives, could not do so because they were afraid of being dragged into the family's troubles, so they closed their doors and did not see them.
Some of their relatives, even, wanted to capture them directly and give them to that organization, trying to see if they could get some bounty in return.
If his parents hadn't fought so hard to fight off those relatives, the family really would have been executed by those relatives, given to the organization.
It was indeed with the help of Jessie’s parents that his family managed to survive the organization’s search for some time.
"Since you know, you should think clearly, even though Jessie’s parents are at fault, they are absolutely justifiable. That two ordinary people play a big organization around is impossible, and have you ever thought that with your parents dead, maybe besides you, Jessie’s parents are also the most devastated? How would they feel in their hearts knowing that they were the ones who accidentally killed their friends?"
George's thin lips were pursed tightly and he did not speak.
Violet took a deep breath, "I'll tell you what, they will blame themselves, they will feel guilty, they will be unable to forgive themselves for the rest of their lives. You haven't seen Jessie’s parents for over ten years, right? Do you know what it was like when I first saw them? Their hair was all gray, their faces were full of wrinkles, they were only fifty-two this year, but they looked like they were seventy, so much older than their peers, and you know what caused it, it was guilt all these years."
At first, she was just curious about Jessie’s parents why they were so much older than their peers and asked why, but Jessie’s parents refused to say.
It was only after Jessie told her later about Jessie’s parents' feud with George that she learned the reason why Jessie’s parents were so pale.
So she really felt heartbroken.
George's pupils shrank when he heard Violet say that Jessie’s parents looked much older than their peers.
This is something that he really does not know.
For it was true that he had not seen the couple for over ten years, nor did he want to.
So it is not known what they have become.
"George, I'm telling you all this because I want to tell you that Jessie’s parents were justified, but more importantly, I hope you won't keep living in your past hatred, the ones you should really hate are the murderers, not Jessie’s parents, do you understand? And I believe that if your parents could come back to life, they would never blame Jessie’s parents, because everyone can figure it out, and you can't really blame Jessie’s parents too much for this matter, it's you who are too paranoid and obsessed, George, I hope you think about it."
After saying that, Violet hung up the phone.
Stanley came out of the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe and holding a towel in his hand, and was wiping his hair while walking towards her, the expression on his handsome face was dark and dark, and his tone was sour, "You're really good at enlightening people."
Violet looked at him, "What, are you jealous?"
Stanley grunted, noncommittal.
Violet waved at him, "Come here."
"What?" Stanley stopped in front of her even though he didn't know what she wanted.
Violet grabbed the collar of his chest, and then pulled it down with force.
Stanley's neck was pulled down by her, while she raised her head and kissed him on his thin lips, "How about that, still jealous?"
Stanley's thin lips curled up, his good mood visible to the eye, "Not for now."
Violet was amused, letting go of his collar, then her expression slowly became emotional, "I'm doing this because I also hope that George can come out of his hatred sooner, don't keep confining himself in hatred, it's not good for himself and for Jessie’s parents. Jessie and him are both my friends, I really don't want them to continue to hate each other for the rest of their lives, obviously they used to be so good."
"If it weren't for the fact that George saved you and the two children in the past, I would never allow you to worry so much about him." Stanley sat down beside her.
Violet smiled, "I know you remember this kindness, that's why I dare to say it in front of your face, but I don't know if George will listen to my words."
If he listened to it, George would soon figure it out, let go of all his hatred for Jessie’s parents and become relieved.
At that time, George and Jessie, perhaps, would have been destined to be together.
But if George can't listen, then the two of them are really not destined to be together in this life.
