The Villainess Turns the Hourglass — Chapter 41

Whew, The Villainess Turns the Hourglass, Chapter 41 really gave readers a lot to talk about! 🤔

Fans were cheering Aria on for focusing on her business ventures and future, moving beyond just revenge. But her declaration about closing off her heart left many feeling sad, eagerly awaiting Asher to hopefully change her mind! 🥺

The scene with Annie sparked major discussion. Aria’s blunt talk, described by some as like telling Annie "Santa isn't real," was seen as harsh but also a necessary reality check in their world. Readers felt for poor Annie losing the sparkle in her eyes, though some agreed Aria was just being realistic or even showing care in her own way. A big point of contention? Many pointed out that Annie is around the same young age as Aria, making the Baron situation feel a bit creepy. 🚩

Another fan-favorite moment was Aria’s clever move with the maids! Readers loved seeing how treating the staff well with little gifts led to special treatment (like sweeter food!), proving Aria is a genius manipulator who gets people on her side without being cruel. 👏 Overall, readers are absolutely living for Aria’s smart, strategic, and unapologetic "true villainess" energy! ✨
