In Theorem 3.8. Suppose the condition in (ii) is satisfied, how to get the contadiction by uaing Lemma 3.6?

By Lemma 3.6, we only know that $\omega_n=s(\omega_n)\omega_n$. If $e=s(\omega_n)\geq e_0$, we have $ee_0=e_0$.

We also have that $\omega_n$ is faithful on $eAe$ by Lemma 3.6, and that $e_0=ee_0e\in eAe$. Since $e_0$ is nonzero, it then follows that $\omega_n(e_0)>0$. However, $$0=\omega(e_0)\geq\omega_n(e_0)>0,$$ a contradiction.
