The lady's face changed again. How could she not tell that Violet was alluding to her as an old antique who didn't know how to surf the Internet and didn't know how to keep up with the times?
She slapped the table angrily, "It's such a sharp mouth! You don’t even know to respect the elders. I really don't know why my son likes you."
"Huh?" Violet was stunned. "Your son likes me? Ma'am, who is your son?"
The lady pursed her thin lips, "Ivan. I am his mother."
Hearing this name, Violet's face sank immediately, "So that's it. You two really deserve to be mother and son."
The son was sinister and cunning, and the mother was mean and deceptive.
Violet didn't know what Ivan’s father was like.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Murphy frowned.
Violet smiled again, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, "Nothing. I’m praising you."
Mrs. Murphy squinted at her. Obviously, she didn’t believe Violet.
Violet took a sip of the water on the table, "Well, Mrs. Murphy, you haven't said yet why you came to me?"
Mrs. Murphy leaned back lazily, "I just came to see what the woman who harmed my son to be sent to the hospital was like. Now I saw you. Sure enough..."
"Wait a minute." Violet raised a hand and interrupted her, "Mrs. Murphy, I don't agree with what you said. What does it mean to harm your son? He went to the hospital. Didn't he ask for it? He wanted to hurt me then was beaten by Mr. Murphy."
"Humph!" Mrs. Murphy sneered, "It's your blessing that my son is in love with you. If you obediently obey, will Stanley hit him?"
Violet was stunned, "Mrs. Murphy, according to you, if Ivan proposes to let me be with him, whether I like it or not, I have to agree, right?"
"You are not worthy of my son." Mrs. Murphy raised her chin and looked at Violet contemptuously, "My son can play with you, but I will not agree that my son is with you. Before coming here, I knew you a little bit. You are not a good woman!"
"What?" Violet rubbed the cup in her hand. The look in her eyes was complicated.
Mrs. Murphy crossed her arms on her chest and sneered, "In the past month since you joined the Murphy Group, there have been several scandals, all of which were related to my son and Stanley. From this, your purpose is already very clear. You just want to hook up with one of them so that you can marry into our Murphy family. I tell you it is absolutely impossible!"
With that, she opened her precious bag, took out a check from it, and slammed it in front of Violet.
Violet glanced down, "Mrs. Murphy, what are you..."
"Accept it! Then leave the Murphy group, leave Stanley and my son." Mrs. Murphy said with arrogant expression on her face.
Violet smiled, "It's only two million! Mrs. Murphy, this amount doesn't match your identity."
The implication was, “How come you, a dignified rich lady, only give such little money?”
Mrs. Murphy's face sank, "Then how much do you want?"
Violet shook her hand, "I don't want any. Mrs. Murphy, don't you know I'm a designer? If I draw a series of designs and sold them out, the copyright fee will be at least one million dollars. Besides..."
"What besides?" Mrs. Murphy's face became increasingly gloomy.
She didn't understand just a few sets of clothes were so valuable?
That little bitch Phoebe! She didn't tell her this before coming, which made her so embarrassed.
Violet casually played with the coffee spoon, "Besides, as you just said, I approached Mr. Murphy and Ivan to marry into the Murphy family. So no matter which of their brothers I marry, I can have hundreds of millions of dollars in wealth. Then why should I abandon a better future for your mere millions?"
