Chapter 445 A Ruse
She originally wanted to ask if Ivy was still alive.
But she thought it was rude, so she changed it and asked if Ivy was fine.
Stanley also wanted to know the answer, so he looked at Fraser.
Fraser replied, " Miss Ellis is safe now. The security guard found her in time. When he found her, she
just slit her wrist for a short while."
Hearing that, Stanley's expression improved a lot.
...
Although he truly disliked Ivy now, he didn't want her to die.
Violet also heard Fraser's answer and let out a sigh of relief. "I'm glad she's fine."
She didn't care about Ivy. She was merely worried that if Ivy was dead, Stanley would have to be
responsible for her death.
After all, he was the one who set Ivy under house arrest.
"I'll go see her first. Let's talk at night," Stanley rubbed his brow and said to the phone.
Violet agreed. "Okay, go ahead."
After he ended the call, Stanley put down his phone, striding towards the office door.
Fraser followed.
Soon, they arrived at the villa of the Ellis family.
Stanley got out of the car when a security guard came over, who was the one who found Ivy tried to
commit suicide.
"Where is she?" Stanley asked coldly as he walked into the villa.
The security guard followed him and replied respectfully, "Miss Ellis took the medicine and might be
asleep now."
Stanley nodded slightly and then asked, "What was she like when you found out that she tried to
commit suicide?"
"It's terrifying." The security guard shivered. A trace of fear appeared in his eyes. "When I entered the
bathroom, I saw blood all over the floor. Miss Ellis was lying on the edge of the bathtub full of water.
And the water in the bathtub is stained red."
Stanley's face was dark. "I see. You can go back and guard."
"Yes." The security guard responded and stood still downstairs.
Stanley and Fraser went upstairs.
When they got upstairs, Fraser opened the door for him.
The light in the room was on. As soon as Stanley entered the room, he saw Ivy on the bed.
Ivy didn't fall asleep as the security said, but leaned against the head of the bed with a pale face. She
was staring at the door with her dull eyes.
Seeing Stanley coming in, something flashed in Ivy's eyes but soon disappeared. Her voice was
hoarse with a hint of mockery. "You came to see me."
Stanley didn't speak. He went straight to the bed, lowered his head slightly, and looked at her
bandaged wrist, "Why do you try to kill yourself?"
Ivy raised her wrist which was slit and said mockingly, "Why? Don't you understand? I don't have the
motivation to live anymore."
"Oh?" Stanley squinted. "You don't want to live anymore?"
"Yeah." Ivy put her hand down. "In my whole life, the only person I love is you. You are my hope and
motivation to stay alive, but now you dislike me and will no longer care about me like you used to. So
why do I have to live?"
Stanley pressed his lips. "So that's what you're thinking. You rely on others to live. Don't you think
about relying on yourself? Except for love, nothing else matters in your life?"
Ivy drooped her eyelids. "No, in my life, love is so important that I can't get rid of it at all. So Stanley,
don't persuade me. Let me die. In this way, I will never get in the way of you and Miss Hunt anymore."
Stanley's face was gloomy. "Are you threatening me?"
"I'm not threatening you. I mean it. I can't live without you."
Speaking of this, Ivy gazed at him with misty eyes, "So Stanley, if you want me to live, can you treat me
like you used to? I know I’m wrong. I don’t wish to be with you anymore. Can you just let me continue
to be your friend?"
"Do you think it's possible?" Stanley stared at her indifferently. "You've said this to me before you dated
Henry, so I have been letting my guard down. But what did you do? Why should I believe you? How
can I forgive someone who drugged me and tricked me?"
Ivy's face turned paler, and then she smiled bitterly, "You're right. I'm being ridiculous. I'm sorry,
Stanley. I let you down."
After saying that, she lowered her head and used her hand to pull the bandage on the wrist of another
hand.
She pulled so hard that blood soon oozed from the bandage.
When Stanley saw it, he felt tense. "What are you doing?"
"What do you care about what I do? I said I can't live without you, so I'm going to die now!" Ivy replied
without looking up.
Stanley looked irritated. "You said you didn't threaten me. Besides, do you think that if you do this, I will
compromise?"
Ivy paused.
But soon, she continued to pull the bandage.
Seeing that the bandage was about to fall off her wrist completely, Stanley waved his hand.
Fraser, who had been silent, stepped forward and knocked out Ivy with a knifehand strike.
Before Ivy closed her eyes, her eyes were filled with disbelief.
Fraser placed Ivy who fainted on the bed, then tied back the bandage she had taken off.
After he finished, Fraser turned to stand behind Stanley's back. "Mr. Murphy, I think Miss Ellis is just
playing tricks."
"I know." Stanley nodded slightly.
Of course, he could see that she didn't want to die at all. If she truly wanted to die, she could think
about many ways to do it before he arrived, such as cutting the wrist again, jumping off the building,
hitting the wall, and so on.
...
After all, the security guard wouldn't go into the room to check on her all the time, so she had plenty of
opportunities, but she didn't do that. It proved that she was indeed waiting for him to come and show
him a trick.
Although he wouldn't fall into her tricks, he couldn't simply sit back and watch her risk her life.
"Mr. Murphy, what should we do next? If Miss Ellis keeps doing this, I'm afraid she will commit suicide
again to threaten you in the future." Fraser scratched his hair and said in annoyance.
After Stanley was silent for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Get two maids here and ask
them to stay in the room to watch her all the time, so that she can't find a chance to kill herself. Also,
move out all the furniture in the room and replace them with inflatable ones. Any sharp tools are not
allowed to be seen in this room. And half-seal the windows and balcony."
When Fraser heard this, he gave a thumbs-up. "Mr. Murphy, this is a great idea."
Stanley snorted, turned around, and walked towards the door.
Fraser didn't follow, but took out his cell phone and called to arrange this matter.
It didn't take long before Ivy woke up. What she saw was a room that was changed greatly and two
expressionless maids guarding the bed.
Ivy was smart, so she naturally realized what happened. Stanley did these to prevent her from
committing suicide.
She was so enraged that she pounded on the bed, but she didn't know what to do.
Time flew quickly. The weekend was coming.
Stanley took two children to the country where Violet was having a competition.
When the two kids got out of the car, they hurried to the venue.
Stanley walked behind the two kids, looking at them gently.
"Dad, hurry up." Arya ran a few steps. When she saw that Stanley didn't catch up, she stopped and
called him.
Stanley gazed at his daughter, feeling that his heart melted. He then quickened his pace. "I'm coming."
The father and children came to the entrance of the venue.
Stanley handed over the tickets to the security guards, so the guards let them in.
The three of them entered the venue.
The two kids were holding hands, glancing around.
"Clavin, where is Mommy?" Arya asked.
Calvin shook his head. "I don't know."
Arya let go of his hand, ran to Stanley, and pulled his sleeve. "Daddy, call Mommy and tell her, we're
here. I miss Mommy so much."
