Spoilers up to chapter 4 * * * * * * * * * * * * I saw this coming, but Gerald (the Duke) is now starting to have feelings for Violet simply because she's turned her attention away from him. In the next chapter he apologies for being mean to her in the past and invites her to have tea with him. While they're having tea, she can see Shannon (the heroine) glaring at her. After that she makes it clear to Gerald that she's not interested in him anymore. He leaves and Shannon approaches her to cause a scene. Long story short, Shannon makes it look like Violet threw tea into her dress and then its a cliffhanger. The next chapter starts with people judging Violet who tries to claim her innocence but they don't believe her. Instead she tries to make it up to Shannon by apologising and trying to clean her dress, but the stain doesn't come out. As a sort of compensation, she spills tea on her own dress and then repeatedly asks Shannon for forgiveness, basically pressuring her to forgive her in front of everyone. (Violet does this intentionally to gain people's sympathy while making Shannon look like a bitch if she doesn't forgive her considering everything she's done as compensation) At this point, Haren, Gerald and Irene (Gerald's sister) show up and Gerald takes Violet's side. He even takes off his jacket to try to give to her, which leaves her confused since he's supposed to be caring about Shannon. Violet then prentents to feel unwell so Haren picks her up and leaves to take her home. Gerald is pretty pissed by that and Irene finds it entertaining. That's all I've got on spoilers so far :)
