Violet heard the guilt in Jessie's tone and smiled helplessly, "It is okay, I will just let them go back. And it's not a waste to let them go over there, at least they can go over and see if you guys are safe and need help or something."
Jessie knew that her best friend was comforting herself so that she wouldn't feel embarrassed, and her heart warmed.
Afterwards, Violet heard a knock on the door and walked towards the door while saying, "Alright, then I'll talk to Stanley later and have him arrange for them to go back."
"Well, thank you, Violet, also, thank Mr. Murphy for me, I hope he will not be angry." Jessie had a pleading expression on her face.
Violet knew she was afraid of Stanley and couldn't help but smile as she shook her head, "Don't worry, Stanley won't be petty, but I'll thank him on your behalf."
"That's great." Jessie patted her chest.
Violet seriously added, "Since you guys decided to stay there, but no matter what, George is a tough nut, so I want you to be careful and notify me immediately if anything happens, understand?"
"Yes." Jessie nodded.
Violet's face became gentle again, "Good, I gotta go now, I have a visitor here."
"Okay, go ahead." Jessie responded.
Violet put down her phone and opened the door to her room, and there was Aimee standing outside the door.
Aimee looked at her and skimmed her lips, "It took you so long to open the door, and you still have your cell phone, are you still on the phone with Mr. Murphy?"
Violet shook her head, "It's not Stanley, it's Jessie."
"Jessie?" Aimee came to life, "What did she say to you?"
Violet didn't hide it from her, and told her about the call she had just had with Jessie.
Aimee didn't make a sound for a long time after hearing that, and it was only after a while that she spoke with a sigh, "Actually, I can understand her."
Violet nodded, "Me too."
If she couldn't understand, she wouldn't have let Jessie's decision go.
Aimee spread her hands, "Just hope that this decision of hers won't end up making her lose."
Violet nodded, "Yeah, well, enough about that, Aimee, what do you want from me?"
"It is about the previous design book, I have a few drafts here that are a little problematic, I'll take them over and compare." Aimee said.
Violet nodded, "Okay, I'll bring it to you, wait a moment."
With that, she turned and headed for her room, grabbing a design book at the end of her bed and giving to Aimee, "Here."
"Thanks, I'll give it back to you when I'm done with it." Aimee took it and smiled.
Violet nodded ,"Okay."
"I'll leave first then." Aimee waved her hand and turned to leave.
Violet closed the door to the room and turned to reenter the house, walking while connecting to Stanley's video call again.
Stanley seemed to have been waiting for her, and just as she called, he answered, and a face as handsome as can be appeared on the screen, "Stanley."
Violet called out.
The man nodded in response.
Violet looked at him with a smile, "Do you usually think that I'm not thoughtful in the matter of the Robinson family and George?"
"Always thought that." Stanley hooked his lips, "You care too much about the Robinson family, you want to build a fortress to shelter the Robinson family directly in it, but such an idea is wrong, you are equivalent to isolating the feud between the Robinson family and George, in that case, their feud will not be completely solved."
Violet listened to the man's words and was silent for a moment, finally lowering her head reflectively, "I know I'm wrong, I'm just afraid that something will happen to the Robinson family."
"That is why the Robinson family will never grow. Now I do think that Jessie is doing a better job than you in this, she dares to take on George head on now, while you still keep thinking that by keeping the Robinson family under protection, they will never grow." Stanley criticized.
Violet touched the tip of her nose, "Alright, I know, I'm making progress now. When Jessie said she wanted to stay, I didn't stop her, I also thought it didn't seem like a wrong choice for her."
Stanley smiled, "Well, it's late, go to bed early."
"Okay, you too." Violet glanced at the time, it was indeed very late.
The two said goodbye to each other and cut the video off.
Violet then put down the phone in her hand, got up and headed to the bathroom, ready to take a shower.
At this moment, Jessie received a call from his father, who reported on George's situation.
George was injured quite badly, his ribs were broken, his back was hurt quite badly, his face was also bruised, and he even had a slight concussion and needed to be hospitalized for observation.
But luckily, he was alive, which was a relief for Jessie.
But it was only a moment of relief, and soon Jessie was on edge again.
Because she was afraid that George would call the police.
It was a fact that her father had hurt him, and he had done it on purpose, and if George called the police, her father would still have to go to jail.
