Chapter 393 Eighteen Years Ago

It was nighttime abroad at this time, and Violet didn't know if Steven had felt asleep, so she was
mentally prepared for Steven not answering the phone.

But Steven had not slept and he answered the phone, “Sis?”

“Steven, did I wake you up?” Violet asked in a soft voice.

After her mother died, Steven was her only family besides her two children.

“No, I just came back from the exhibition at the art museum, is there something wrong?” Steven asked,
accompanied by a couple of coughs.

Violet heard it and instantly tensed up, “Are you sick, Steven?”

“I got a cold, but I am fine, don't worry.” Steven smiled with a somewhat pale face.

How could Violet not be worried?

But there was nothing she could do. Steven was abroad and she couldn't go and take care of him.

“Did you see a doctor?” Violet asked with concern.

Steven nodded, “Yes, I am taking medicine, but I am better today. I think I will be well tomorrow.”

“Good.” Violet raised the corner of her mouth.

Steven asked, “Sister, what do you call me for?”

“Well, I just want to know something. When Mom used to take care of you at home, did she often go to
Jordan?” asked Violet.

Steven tilted his head in confusion, “Are you talking about Stanley’s grandfather?”



“Yes.” Violet nodded.

Steven nodded, “Yes, she often went to Jordan, I heard from Mom that she was his goddaughter.”

“Then when mom went to Jordan, was there anything wrong with her?” Violet continued.

Steven frowned slightly, “What do you mean?”

Violet didn't know what to say and was silent.

Seeing that, Jessie grabbed her phone, “Steven, it's me.”

“Jessie.” Steven greeted with a smile.

“Good boy!” Jessie responded with satisfaction, she then said, “Well, your brother-in-law has gone
crazy these past few days and has been coldly violent towards your sister, and as for the reason, it's
because your mother might have done something to offend his family, so your brother-in-law is now
taking his anger out on your sister.”

“What?” The smile on Steven's face froze, “He did that? Is my sister okay?”

“She is sad, but after I comforted her, she is already better, so we are now trying to figure out what your
mother had done so that we can solve the conflict between your sister and brother-in-law, otherwise
your sister and brother-in-law will have to divorce.” Jessie said.

Steven frowned, “I don't know what mom did to offend his family.”

“Think about it, your mother used to take care of you and you spent the most time with her, so maybe
you knew it, but you just overlooked it.” Jessie added.

They could only start with Steven to get to know the truth.



After all, Stanley and Fraser refused to say anything.

“Okay, I'll think about it.” Steven's face was serious as he responded.

For his sister's sake, he was going to have to reminisce.

While Steven was searching his memory, Jessie returned the phone to Violet.

Violet sighed, “Perhaps, Steven really doesn't know.”

“Anyway, let's wait and see, or, Violet, buy some sleeping pills and try to feed them to Mr. Murphy, or
get Mr. Murphy drunk, and then ask him the question. What do you think?” Jessie looked at her.

Violet was amused, and when she was to say that Jessie got so many crooked ideas, Steven's voice
suddenly rang out on the phone, “Sister, I remember something!”

Violet and Jessie looked at each other.

They did not expect they would be some news.

Jessie was smug, “See, I told you to wait and see.”

Violet gave her a blank look, then put the phone to her ear, “Steven, did mom really do something to
offend the Murphy family?”

“I'm not sure what mom actually did, it was nine years ago, it was ......” Steven patted his forehead, “It
seems to be the ninth of October, mom suddenly came back drunk and crying. She kept saying sorry
and that she should pass by earlier.”

“Pass by earlier?” Violet was filled with confusion.

What did that mean?



Steven scratched his hair, “That day mom happened to return from visiting Jordan, I wonder if
something happened between mom and Jordan.”

Violet didn't answer, pursing her red lips, pondering.

Jessie nudged her, “What's wrong?”

“October 9th, why do I feel like this date seems familiar.” Violet's eyebrows were furrowed tightly.

Steven added, “Sis, I suddenly remembered that since I was three, every year on this day, mom went
out and then came back in a bad mood, but since mom didn't break down like she did nine years ago,
so I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.”

Now that he thought about it, the 9th of October could have been something significant.

“Wait a minute, since Steven was three years old, your Mother was in a bad mood on October 9th, but
Steven said that your Mother might have had a conflict with Jordan nine years ago, these two events
seem to be related in some way, both on October 9th ......”

The latter words had not been spoken out, but Violet understood her.

Violet narrowed her eyes, “Maybe mom didn't have a conflict with Jordan nine years ago, but when
Steven was three years old, on the ninth of October that year, something might have happened that we
didn't know about, and that incident involved the Murphy family.”

“In that case, it's really possible.” Jessie's eyes widened.

Violet rubbed her brow, “So now all we need to know is what happened on the ninth of October when
Steven was three years old, and after figuring this out, the problem between me and Stanley might be
solved.”



Jessie and Steven nodded their heads.

Jessie thought for a moment, “Let's do this, I'll look online to see if there are any clues, for a big and
powerful family like the Murphy family, if something big happened, there might be news online or
something.”

“That's a good idea, thank you, Jessie.” Violet patted her on the shoulder.

“Never mind.” Jessie smiled and sat down in front of the computer.

Violet talked with Steven, asking about Steven's life abroad.

In a few minutes, Jessie got some news.

“Violet, I got it.” Jessie's expression seemed to be heavy.

Violet's heart thumped as she hung up the phone and walked over, “What's up?”

“See for yourself.” Jessie showed her the notebook.

Violet looked down and opened her mouth wide, “It's the day when Stanley's parents died!”

“Yes, when Steven was three years old, it was eighteen years ago, so I looked up the ninth of October
eighteen years ago, and that was the day when Mr. Murphy's parents died, and on top of that, the ninth
of October, it was the day when Jordan died.” Jessie looked up at her.

Only Jordan died a few years ago on October 9th.

Violet bit her lip, only feeling that it was too outrageous, “How is that possible? How could my mother
be related to the death of Stanley's parents?”

She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't think it was possible.



Jessie pulled her hand seeing that she was emotional, “Violet, calm down.”

“How am I supposed to be calm?” Violet covered her face sadly.
