You are mixing layer 2 and layer 3 - they are on the same vlan - meaning
same broadcast domain - so that they will see broadcasts for anything in
that VLAN - that is all layer 2 broadcasts - but at layer 3 there is no
network connection between the addresses so they need to use a gateway to
communicate between the 2 different networks.
