If I am her, I will just give up. Just say it one time like what she said in this chapter to everyone, then just let them be. If the house goes into ruin then so be it, she already told them.

If the house is in ruin, she could fake her death and have more focus on her job.

This manga is the pinnacle of FF-mode activate. We don't see any character growth.

But let's face it, she doesn't need her mother. Her mother's overly compassionate to those she deemed in "need of help" and doesn't care about her own child.

The mother still got PTSD from the dog back then lol

It’s not like Serena was entirely in the wrong, too. The dog very clearly attacked, and even if she dodged (like the mom said), there’s no way to tell if the dog wouldn’t be faster. And of course, that’s ignoring the fact that it would 100% just turn around and try again, seeing as it picked her as a target

Immediately after the party she murders Shenna's parents as her next job. I just read last chapter and I can barely remember what Shenna's convo with Serena was about. Now she's an orphan at a nunnery. Would that be the last we see of her? I don't suppose she'll become a vengeful antagonist or anything?

Her mother and her stepsister remain idiots, nothing changed there even after all those years. Their house is headed to ruin via social faux pas at this rate. But I'm not even sure that's really a negative for Serena who's already living her old life, just this time she has more money than she used to.

The reason (ostensibly--the actual reason, as always, could be whatever the author wants it to be) Serena fails to communicate effectively with her mother Amaryllis is the fact that Serena does not, according to what's been shown, communicate or even think like a woman: Serena does these things logically (having had all her femininity beaten out of her in her previous life), which is an inherently masculine way of doing things, while Amaryllis functions almost totally (if not totally) on emotion--an inherently feminine MO.

As a result, Serena's logical appeals don't actually reach Amaryllis--who, at best, only attempts to allay Serena's concerns with attempts to end any given conflict in general (i.e., as long as the person she cannot relate with/does not feel positively toward is in the right; a characteristically feminine method of pursuing community harmony as opposed to actual conflict resolution). This sort of mentality makes Amaryllis a perfect mark for Rosemary, who argues only with (often highly emotionally-charged) emotional appeals.

Rosemary speaks Amaryllis' language, while Serena does not; it's no wonder there's such a divide between Serena and her mother--but not between Amaryllis and Rosemary.
