黎佳静Jane's sudden wealth came from her distant relative, her uncle John Ariel. John Ariel bequeathed his estate to Jane on his deathbed, making Jane a wealthy heiress.
It was a complicated relationship between Jane and St. John. St. John is Jane's cousin, he has a deep affection for Jane, and hopes to marry her. However, despite her deep friendship and respect for St. John, Jane is not in love with him, so she turns down his proposal.
After learning that she had inherited John Ariel's fortune, Jane decided to share some of it with her Cousins, as well as to help those in need. She also decided to use part of her fortune to improve the conditions of Fernding Manor, to help Mr. Rochester rebuild the manor and provide better conditions for their future life. Jane's kindness and generosity made her respected and loved by more people. -
