Summary: Still as the Rep, he heads to Morrel and Sons to "collect the debt" which, for the first time in his life Morrel is unable to pay, but this is followed by worse news: the ship that would bring the cargo and earn him the money he needed had just gone down. Dantes hears all this and extends the time for collection by 3 months and pulls Morrel's daughter Julie aside and makes her promise to follow any instructions she receives from a man calling himself “Sinbad the Sailor". Three months later, in the nick of time (Morrel was planing n taking his life to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to pay the debt) Julie bursts in with a bag that has all of his debt notes marked as "paid" and a diamond marked as Julie's dowry. They hear an uproar outside as a ship, identical to the one that sank, arrives in port bearing the same cargo as the original, this all while a mysterious yacht leaves the harbor.
Reflection: Dantes' money has given him the desire to be as selfless as possible, helping those who need it and the like, except in one regard: His revenge. No doubt it is of no comparison the joy giving brings to the hatred for the men that ruined his life. This consuming need for vengeance will undoubtedly ruin his life.
