Juliette had thought of giving away the villa at only double the price she had bought it But later, she changed her mind on seeing Gaston and Jeanne and quoted a price really higher than its actual worth. Later, she lowered it only a little. Initially, Gaston too was not interested in buying the villa but eventually changed his mind on meeting Mrs. Al Smith. Juliette didn't harm anyone as she did business ethically. On the contrary, Gaston was unethical, manipulative, unscrupulous and opportunistic. He first rolled in his villainy ways and never bothered about social or moral values. In fact, Gaston should have possessed moral standards, righteousness and truth.
