She might buy a slave she put in the auction if she regretted selling the slave, but in that case, it makes no sense to bring the enslaved fiance of the crown prince straight to the duke. It's far more likely that she'd do everything she could to cover up the entire incident.
SPOILER!!!!
She is indeed trying to frame Ayla, not in a very obvious way, she just 'try' with her damn twisted tongue skill, and that bastard almost fell for it. I mean he is such a dumb duke and get swapped so easily. One time he agree with that beach, another time he agree with Ayla. A dumb duke that his weakness is just a pitiful beach woman and it's embarrassing. His dignity for someone with high status totally gone.
Did he end up agreeing with ayla or the bitch?
SPOILER AGAIN!!!!!!
That Charlotte trying to get the duke blame Ayla, but for some reason the topic change to the Crown Prince and his feelings? And Ayla say that it's better for Charlotte to answer the CP's feeling first, the duke agree with Ayla (I think it's bcs he already fall for Charlotte and want a clear answer too).
But from what i remember the Duke is still doubing Ayla's behavior. Well everyone blame and treats Ayla as a Villain even though sometimes she clearly showed her heroics side. Fucc that ㅠㅠ
Charlotte a bitch cause ayla never did anything to her yet she blaming her. And she just saved her and brought her to a safe place(〜￣△￣)〜
I HATE HIM!!!!! Why the hell would she buy a slave she put in the auction???? WTFFFFF! I hope this blond girl doesn’t frame Ayla because I will rage.
