Beware the Villainess! — Chapter 91

Whew, **Beware the Villainess! Chapter 91** truly delivered on the hype! 🎉 Readers are absolutely ecstatic, with the near-unanimous feeling being "IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!" Everyone seems convinced that proposal moment we've all been waiting for is just around the corner, and the excitement for Melissa and Nine is through the roof! 😍

On a more somber note, the chapter really hit home with the Duke realizing it's "too late" for the original Melissa. This plot point brought out a lot of reader sadness and reflection on the OG daughter's fate, with many agreeing that she deserved better 💔. There's a bit of a split on the Duke himself – while some acknowledge his regret, a strong sentiment is that his years of neglect mean it's deserved, and the current Melissa isn't obligated to forgive him for the OG's pain.

Nine also got plenty of praise for his glow-up (even if Melissa's "proud mama" comments were a bit amusingly perplexing 😂). Unsurprisingly, the chapter ended on a *very* dramatic cliffhanger, leaving readers clamoring for more ASAP! 😩 There's also a shared worry that the series might be nearing its conclusion, making these exciting moments bittersweet. 🙏
