Violette, on the other hand, was seated on a sofa all alone.

She had cried so hard that her nose was now red and her delicate makeup had been ruined by the tears.

Jessie was with her. “Stop pretending to be a good person!" Violette said to Jessie indignantly. "You helped Melissa out just now, so just go away and leave me alone."

This made Jessie chuckle. "You think I love meddling in other people's business?" she said with a sneer. "You might have vented your anger a bit just now. But even if you succeed in making things difficult for Melissa, what do you think you would gain? The support of those gossipy women who just enjoyed the show you put on? And then you thought you'd be able to eventually marry Marcus? Have you lost your mind? Look, let me tell you the truth, Violette. If you keep picking on Melissa, who's certain to be the future daughter-in-law of the Fowler family, not only you but the entire Finch family would also be in big trouble as a result. Losing Marcus would only make you feel depressed for a while, but if your family goes bankrupt because of you, that will really spell trouble for all of you for the rest of your lives. You have no idea what you're doing. Such an idiot!"

Violette cried even harder when she heard this.
