### Summary
Following the resolution of their recent misunderstanding, the relationship between Leslie and Conrad remains a focal point of debate. The Duchess Salvator directly confronts Conrad, issuing a stern warning to prioritize Leslie's feelings, an act that has sharply divided the readership. While some applaud her fierce maternal protection, many criticize her for placing sole blame on Conrad, arguing that Leslie was also at fault and that such pressure is unhealthy for the teens' relationship. The chapter's primary focus, however, shifts to a new conflict involving Leslie's maid, Mathel, who is suspected of being cheated on by her boyfriend. In response, Leslie convenes a late-night "strategy meeting" with the household staff, showcasing her deep loyalty and forming a protective circle around Mathel. This has rallied readers into a "Mathel protection squad," eager to see retribution if the infidelity is confirmed. This subplot also introduces a new layer of critique, with some readers viewing Leslie's desire for Mathel to remain in her service as potentially selfish, stemming from her own deep-seated fears of abandonment.
