I mean, she could've played the political game, wife of a duke, a lofty title that comes with some benefits, benefits of which she can use to help people.. plus good excuse to use the husband's money by buttering up to him. Women have their own way of fighting, not this dainty helplessness... And i know he cheated, but this is what i meant by playing the political game, she could've secured her position by acting like the kind of fiance he can't get enough of, while using that as leverage to push the hoes away, poison them for all i care...
It would have been more interesting that way, or atleast i'd have reason to side with her, because genuinely when the guy said she stole the money, there was no lie lmao, regardless of how noble her cause was, she was caught and pushed out and now she's in no position to help anyone. (until she met the MC and plot that is)
