More will be revealed backstory-wise in terms of how this mindset was cultivated in the daughter. May very well be a situation where the daughter was the only one there to witness how her mother used her familial wealth & influence to put an end to the private investigators (so she learnt the Machiavellian traits too), and also have her own apartment where she freely indulged; this inadvertently developing a father complex from how she saw the full scope of his powerlessness (and innocence if in spite of this he was trying to hold the family together).
A cycle of generational trauma could also be showcased with the mother's potential backstory, as you can imagine the dark-side of her coming from such a powerful family, even if it meant that work-wise and money-wise she was set for life.
