Three years later, Phillip Rowland, a young aristocrat, falls in love with Florette.

Rowland stands by his wife, although she is snubbed by his family, but when Edith conspires with Walter Stanley to place Florette in a compromising position, Judge Rowland accepts circumstantial evidence as truth and plans for a divorce.
