### Summary
The narrative has shifted from romantic subplots back to Verta's ruthless revenge, now centered on her calculated manipulation of a naive, kind-hearted noblewoman named Rosalie. Verta orchestrates a brutal "rude awakening" by exposing the deceit of Rosalie's fiancé and his mistress, Margot. Reader commentary reveals overwhelming, albeit conflicted, support for Verta's methods. While fans express immense sympathy for the victimized Rosalie, they simultaneously celebrate Verta's "savage" and "unrepentant" villainy, finding it a refreshing departure from morally pristine protagonists. Many readers justify her cruelty as a necessary evil, framing it as a harsh but vital lesson that will teach the overly trusting Rosalie to survive in their corrupt high society. This focus on Verta’s cunning and unapologetically evil persona has reinvigorated interest in her primary quest, with the audience praising her as an authentic and satisfying anti-heroine whose malicious actions paradoxically yield positive results for her victims.
