God I hope she dies. Ripply I mean. She really deserves it at this point.
If our assumption is right (she said nothing about who, is visiting alone, and her hubby is too stupid to have someone monitor/guard her) then death is the only logical outcome. It be quite nice/refreshing to see one of these series end with MC being killed by the villainess.
The "This is the last time I will forgive you. Give up on him and find your own love. Wait... what are you doing with that knife? Kyaaaa!'
I mean..... she really does deserve it.
"What, my wife is dead! How? She was just kidnapped and nearly killed a few days ago. Don't kidnappers and murderers only strike the same target once? What, that only applies to lightning? Nooooo....!"
A ending he deserves for failing to take basic precautions against a FL thats so stupid, and for not using the people at his disposal
"Oh, she died? Are you sure? I mean... Its not necessarily surprising if she is, she has nearly killed herself on a few occasions after all. But.... you might want to double check her pulse and ensure the blood is real. She is a crazy girl that jumps out windows and plays dead after all"
Her maid doesn't deserve the tears, but on the bright side, it would take a while before she comes to accept reality, so tears won't be shed right away.
