When Brando heard his father's words he can't help but chuckle as he looks at his brother's grim face and at Jessica who's jaw dropped an inch as her eyes open wide when she heard the response of the old man. She really thought that Bernard's father would side with her knowing that she was his favorite son's girlfriend. Jessica doesn't belong to a rich and influential family, in fact, her family belongs to a middle-class family but Jessica thinks high of herself and loves to mingle with rich people. She dreamed to marry into a rich family so that she could buy everything that she wants. Jessica and Celine are obviously birds of the same feathers. Unfortunately for Celine, she died early because of her selfishness and greed for money.
The other people in the room tried to suppress their laughter as they are afraid that Bernard might get angry and fire them at will.
