Although I feel sorry for her for being dumped twice by crown princes & has nothing to do with Riley's scandal, but I just can't imagine if she becomes Cordonia's queen for real & marrying Liam. I imagine that she'll not just abusing her status to bully & undermine her ladies-in-waiting (particularly Riley) or even the court, but she's also potential making Liam's life miserable too, by being a control freak spouse to him. As when still technically engaged to Liam, she warned Riley to not to show her longing gaze toward Liam in public & going so far as rubbing off her face by specifically choosing/ordering her to pick up her wedding ring. She even taunts Liam & get on his nerves over Riley's rejection to his proposal (if Riley turns him down) during Unity Tour in Lythikos as if avenging her humiliation over his breaking off their engagement. Not to mention her mistreatment also traumatized Penelope. She's way bitchier & more dangerous than Olivia, because she's cunning & excellent in duplicity. While Olivia is more brutally honest. But I'm glad when she reluctantly warmed up to Riley after she successfully reunited her family. And much better, she apologized to Hana for being mean to her before, as if she realized that she finally got her own karma.

In my opinion, I think she genuinely loves Leo (although she's also aware that if they marry, it'd be just a political marriage), but never love Liam. That's why it's said that she's possessive toward Leo.

And it's implied that one of the reasons why she's cunningly mean, ambitious & power hungry as we know, it's because she desperately tries to fulfill her father's high expectation toward her to be the best of the best. As her father, Godfrey, ever mentioned "I didn't raise my daughter to be second best". So, her nature & attitude mirror her father's.
