: I hope the sister will have a chance to apologize and they'll be able to reconnect. Anyone else from her past? Trash, they deserve nothing else.
To people looping the sister in the same role as the rest of her bio family: She hasn't even had her debudante yet. Do you know what that means? She's still a teenager, a child. She genuinely does think of MC as her sister, as we see her missing her in one of the recent chapters. Her outburt has clear reasons as to why it happened; - like I mentioned, she is still a child, someone who's brain hasn't finished developing. - she's been v sheltered by everyone around her. - when she was told of the past, it was in a humiliating situation she has no experience in (anyone would get overwhelmed!), and with the quick flashback image we see that she was likely reminded of trauma she's kept tucked away for more than a decade.
Like, she was just a small child when everything happened, and on top of it suffered from a fever after the funeral. The human brain tends to block memories of trauma if it can to protect itself, as long as it can. Of course everything resurfacing would be confusing and overwhelming, especially to a teenager.
She was told this was something EVERYONE knows, yet she had no idea. Of course she'd feel betrayed by everyone around her, everyone who knew, not just Olivia. Olivia was just her closest person, v likely her most trusted person, of course her feelings of betrayal and confusion would get targeted at her first.
The only thing we've seen so far of proof of her resenting others in the family, is her refual to get out of her room. I really hope we get a scene where she justifiably yells at her father and brothers, and lays the blame on them. Because it is their fault. Yes, she should've called out their behaviour long ago, but one (esp when everyone around her sheltered her her whole life) doesn't always see the injustice, especially if it's always been their normal. Even if she asked something as a child, they probably refused to answer anyway.
Are her actions just? No. But they're very much understandable and come from a sensible place in terms of who the character is and what she's experienced. She has a chance for redemption, and I really, really hope it happens.
The rest of the family can fuck off. The late Duchess would be ashamed and disgusted if she was still alive. (Gods, I want someone to say that line to all the men in that awful family)

: There's too many antagonists, it's kinda overwhelming
