"I don't need your blessing, my wife and I will be happy." Stanley replied indifferently.
Henry smiled, "Okay, okay, I'm the one who's talking too much, so okay, enough for now, I still have some paperwork to complete, so I'll hang up now."
Stanley said okay.
Henry hung up the phone.
Stanley looked at the screen that had jumped back to the main menu and dropped his phone back onto his desk with a bemused expression, not much affected by Henry's departure.
Everyone has their own life. Henry's choice to become a wandering doctor and accumulate virtue for Ivy is Henry's own choice; he does not advise and will not stop it.
So henceforth, his friendship with Henry ended here, too, for good.
Stanley then rubbed his brow, stood up and walked towards the balcony.
Coming out onto the balcony, he took a box of cigarettes out of his pocket, shook one out and lit it up, and smoked it slowly.
Henry's farewell was not something that concerned him.
What he really cares about is still Ivan.
That said, he had absolutely no idea what Ivan was running from.
Sam is dead, and Ivan's mother is now living in seclusion abroad on her own.
It doesn't really make much sense if Ivan has been undyingly trying to escape because of Axy and Violet.
From what he knew about Ivan, Ivan himself was not someone who liked to be chased; on the contrary, Ivan liked to take the initiative.
So if Ivan's target had been Axy and Violet, he would have struck multiple times.
But all this time, Ivan had been hiding in the shadows and hadn't said anything except to tell George about the whereabouts of the Robinson family, so that's why he couldn't figure it out.
It always seemed that Ivan was planning something.
Of course, no matter what Ivan is planning, he won't let Ivan get away with it, he will crush everything Ivan does!
Stanley's eyes narrowed, his eyes cold and horrible.
On the other hand, Violet and Aimee arrived at the competition avenue.
Just as they walked through the gate, a member of staff approached the two, "Miss Hunt, Miss Chambers, how are you?"
"What can I do for you?" Aimee asked as she looked at the staff.
The staff said, "He is the thing, the organisers have asked us to inform the tutors that today's competition has been cancelled and that they should come to the meeting room."
"The competition is cancelled?"
"A meeting?"
Violet and Aimee both spoke in unison.
The staff member nodded, "Yes."
"Is the meeting because of today's game was cancelled?" Violet inquired suspiciously.
The staff member nodded, "That's right, that's what the organisers said."
