Simms was furious-he couldn't stand to stay here another minute. If he lingered any longer, he'd feel as though his intelligence was being insulted.

Yulia had no choice but to abandon Violet and follow Simms out. After all, when disaster struck, the innocent could easily get caught in the crossfire.

No one knew better than she did that her relationship with Simms had started long before he married Edith. The only reason Simms agreed to marry Edith was because she came from a well-connected family.
