If anyone is angry at Grandmother about the ending of the first book, lemme try sharing my thoughts on it.

Remember that both Grandmother and Father saw the Duke as a good match for MC. She only managed to tell Father on his deathbed about the Duke's actual narcissism and selfishness, so the Grandmother wouldn't know about it. At least not in such detail. So if the Duke approached her for MC's hand in marriage, then it would make sense for her to agree to it.

My guess for the next book is that she's filled in on how evil the Duke really is, and everyone has to try and call off the wedding without causing a scene, giving Edgewater a bad name, or anything of the sort.
