### Summary
The chapter escalates the confrontation with Raehwa's abusive stepfather, the Chairman, whom readers have firmly identified as a narcissistic, gaslighting villain. Fan theories solidify around the belief that he systematically abused Raehwa, potentially breaking her fingers to stop her from painting, and then had her institutionalized to fabricate a history of mental illness. This is largely seen as a ploy to control her and suppress memories related to her mother's death, with many speculating he wants Raehwa to serve as a replacement for his deceased wife. In stark contrast, the male lead, Gwon I-tae, is overwhelmingly praised for his protective and violent intervention. A key scene where he physically strikes the Chairman is a celebrated highlight, cementing his appeal as a "bad ass" and "loyal husband." Readers champion his "crazy" and intimidating demeanor as a "perfect green flag" for Raehwa, as his actions demonstrate unwavering belief in her when no one else would. While the Chairman's behavior is seen as textbook abuse, Itae's violent devotion is viewed as intensely romantic and supportive, leading to speculation that he may know more about Raehwa's past than he is letting on.
