Chapter 421 The Reason Why the Ellis Family Went Bankrupt

She was not a good person. This evaluation showed that Ivy did not earn a good reputation in the circle
of rich ladies.

Vera seemed to have thought of something terrible and she gave a horrified face, “It was eleven years
ago. In a charity dinner, I drank a lot of juice and went to the bathroom. I passed by the garden and saw
Ivy was torturing a cat with a grim look.”

“What?” Violet was shocked to hear that.

Vera shivered, “That cat barked miserably and bled, but I was too frightened to save it. for Ivy looked
horrible. If I was discovered, she would torture me like she did to that cat. So I ran away, and then...”

“Then what?”

Vera took a deep breath to calm herself down before she continued, “That cat died. That cat was the
favorite pet of the host, Mrs. Pearce. After Mrs. Pearce were informed, she was very sad and sent
someone to investigate what happened.”

“Did she found it out?” Violet looked at her.

Vera smiled bitterly, “No, In order to prevent Mrs. Pearce from finding out it was Ivy did it, the Ellis
family stitched Miss Watts up. In that case, Watts family was kicked out of the dinner. I was too timid to
speak out what I have seen, but I told Miss Watts afterwards.”

“Is it why the Ellis family went bankrupt?” Violet guessed.

Vera nodded, “Yes, the Watts family colluded with Ellis family’s opponents to strike the Ellis family, so
the Ellis family went bankrupt. Afterwards, the incident of Ivy torturing the cat spread in the circle.”

“Since so, why does Stanley know nothing?” Violet frowned her eyebrows in confusion.



If Stanley knew that Ivy had tortured small animals, he would definitely not have spoiled Ivy.

“Mr. Murphy was studying abroad, not in J City at the time. He came back after Ivy disappeared. At that
time, the Ellis family had gone bankrupt, so naturally nobody mentioned it. It was normal that Mr.
Murphy didn’t know,” Vera explained.

Violet suddenly said, “So that’s it.”

“Mrs. Murphy, why do you bright up Ivy Ellis? Isn’t she missing? Some say that she is dead.” Vera
looked at her curiously.

Violet smiled coldly, “No, she is not dead, neither missing. She just became a vegetable and had laid in
the hospital for ten years. It has not been made public, and now she has wake up. I came to you just to
conform whether the voice of the person who made you commit the crime belongs to Ivy?”

Vera couldn’t make any sense of her sudden question, and then seriously recalled.

A few seconds later, she suddenly opened her mouth in horror, “Mrs. Murphy, thanks for your reminder,
it really seemed to be hers. I haven’t seen her and heard her voice for ten years, but I still remember
her voice, which was much similar compared that voice over the phone..”

“It’s okay. I am already sure that Ivy is the real murderer who wants to kill me.” Violet clenched her fists
and said in a cold voice.

Yes, it was Colin who discovered that Vera was the murderer, whom Stanley turned for help.

As Colin was a retired high-ranking official, Violet and Stanley never doubted the results of
investigation.

But they both overlooked a very important issue, the relationship between Colin and Ivy.



Stanley knew that Colin was Ivy’s great-grandfather. At that time, Stanley still thought that Ivy was that
simple and kind girl, and did not think that Ivy might be the murderer at all. So he didn’t find Colin would
cover for Ivy.

She didn’t know the relationship between Colin and Ivy at that time. It was only later that she knew that
Vera was the culprit. Neither did she find it.

Not until now, did she understand how complex the situation was.

Especially Colin, as a retired official, it is really abhorrent to cover up the murderer in this way.

She was grateful for his help and forgave that Ivy pushed her downstairs for his sake.

“Mrs. Murphy, are you okay?” Seeing the anger and sadness on Violets face, Vera asked with concern.

Violet shook her head, “I’m fine, I just suddenly thought through something which confused me before.”

“Really?” Vera nodded and stopped asking.

Violet took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and made a faint attempt to smile, “Time
is almost up, I will take your mother to see you next time.”

“See you next time.” Vera said gratefully.

Violet put down the telephone and left.

After leaving the prison, she took out her mobile phone and saved the conversation with Vera. Then
she got in the car and went to the kindergarten to pick up the two children.

After receiving them, Violet dialed Stanley’s number and asked him when he would get off work.

Stanley looked at the urgent documents in front of him with anxiety, “It may be later than expected.”



He had already assigned a lot of work to Fraser so that he could leave early.

Somehow, urgent documents had been sent over from abroad, which must be dealt with immediately.

Therefore, he couldn’t get off from work early, and he was still in work.

Violet heard the anxiety in the man’s tone, and couldn’t help laughing, “It’s okay, I’ll wait for you.”

“Well, I will call you when I get off work.” Stanley recovered from his gloomy mood and said in a gentle
voice.

Violet nodded, “Okay.”

Afterwards, she put down the phone and started the car.

In the office of the President of the Murphy Group, Stanley stared at the photos of Violet and their
children on the phone screen for a while with a faint smile before he turned off the phone and continued
to work.

At this time, the office’s door was knocked.

Stanley frowned, dissatisfied with being disturbed. However, he opened his lips lightly and spat out two
words in a cold voice, “Come in.”

The office door was pushed open, and Ivy came in, “Stanley!”

“Call me Mr. Murphy here.” Stanley corrected it quietly.

He used to turn a blind eye to what she did and say.

But Violet had stated that she didn’t like it last time. he felt that it was better to put her feelings first.



On hearing it, Ivy felt stunned for a while, and clenched her fists.

But soon, she pretended that nothing had happened, unclenched her fists, and walked towards his
desk with a smile, “OK, Mr. Murphy.”

“What are you doing here? You said that you didn’t feel well yesterday and wanted to take a leave and
rest today. Why did you suddenly come to the Murphy Group?” Stanley put down the pen, his hands
clasped resting on his crossed legs, and asked.

Ivy ruffled her wig, “I am fine. and I am lonely at home, so I come back to work with workmates to talk
to at least. I just come to think of that it is your birthday today. Let’s go to dinner in the evening, with
Henry. We will celebrate your birthday together.”

She looked at him expectantly.
