Forget being a lady catch me throwing fists at Duke Richards, somersault over the crowd to Ernest and declare my true engagement.

On a serious note - I can't believe MC's grandmother. I followed this page while playing and I'm pretty sure I got every free +manners but maybe I messed up somewhere. I don't care about not getting them but how she shows the jewels to you then says you aren't worthy and puts them away was harsh and awkward. I can understand her making her own arrangement for MC's marriage but to the Duke!? After all the MC complained and expressed disinterest in him? Plus MC can literally indicate she has plans already with choice 6 "I've already devised a plan!". It leaves a real sour taste in my mouth. She didn't even give MC any warning or consult her just dragged her into the middle of the ball and declared the news.

They better not drag this plotline on in book 2. To me it would be a bit too similar to Rules of Engagement if they did so hopefully they won't. I also can't see MC or their LI or anyone that knows how she dislikes the Duke and what he did to her not speaking up. Plus it seems the motivation of the grandmother is to secure the estate for the MC so once MC tells her she was already engaged to LI/Mr Chambers grandmother should jump on board. Listing these reasons has made me optimistic I really can't imagine the engagement playing out any further perhaps some repercussions that maybe put a wedge in MC's real engagement and other affairs. Then some other big problem I guess that I can't imagine.
