### Summary
Reader enthusiasm continues to build as Rita, inhabiting Bertha's body, escalates her public campaign to destroy her fiancé. She strategically confronts him at his workplace, aiming to provoke him into an open display of abuse that will ruin his reputation and dissolve their engagement. Fans overwhelmingly praise her "scheming" and "savage" tactics, particularly a moment where she viciously emasculates him by calling him a "eunuch" with a "small pp," which readers found both hilarious and brutally effective. Her willingness to put herself in harm's way, accepting a physical blow to ensure there are witnesses, is seen as a core part of her "morally grey" and "girlboss" persona. The tense scene is interrupted by the timely arrival of a Prince, immediately sparking fan debate over his potential role as a male lead, a new suitor, or another pawn in Rita's complex revenge. While side discussions about the character Julia persist, the audience remains primarily captivated by Rita's ruthless quest for vengeance, celebrating her cunning and prioritizing her retribution over any romantic subplots.
