Tu n'as pas peur qu'elle découvre un jour que la mort de son père et la faillite de sa famille, c'est toi qui en es responsable ? » « Sophie est déjà mariée avec Lucas. J'épouse Chloé, parce que je ne crains pas qu'elle découvre la vérité. Je l'ai aidée à rembourser ses dettes, et son père a eu des funérailles dignes. Je suis déjà assez bon avec elle. » C'est seulement à ce moment que j'ai compris que Jean aussi m'avait trompée. Du début à la fin, j'étais la seule à être sincère.
