Guys remember to never call a stalker "my stalker" because that just gives them more reason to be more creepy and psychological stuff.
Has this dude never had an interaction with a normally nice person who is just kind to everyone even without being romantically interested? Sir is gone beyond any help

How can she still hope for a relationship with that brother thingy when he declares Lizzy as a trophy? How stupid, brainless and blinded does one have to be to still fawn over a sorry excuse of a man?
I kinda hoped the duchess would be halfway awake through that conversation and see for herself how bad Edith is treated by people who are blood related to her. He even said Sophia will make her scream. I think I'll let this story cook for at least the next 3 chapters so I can skip fast over the upcoming torture

I know he's heavily brainwashed but bro is so god damn weak that he can't snap out of it even after witnessing an innocent woman getting poisoned. Everyone else could easily see how dire the situation was but this bro just stood there being stupid

Uhh sorry for not making my point clear lol!
For me at that point of the story when Yvonne came back, Reynold already like Penelope and appreciate her so when Yvonne tries to implies sth bad towards Penelope he will likely defend her sth of that sort. (View her as good-> not easily manipulated)
Eckles is obsessed like just crazy towards her so he can't break the brainwashing too, at the same time is the brainwashing is worded in a way where Penelope will benefit he'll follow. (Obsessed anything about penelope will do-> easily but also not easily manipulated depending on method)
Derrick on the other hand. His feelings for Penelope is still mixed not yet love not much hate. Derrick feeling of guilt toward being the cause of Yvonne disappearance probably cause him to be easier to be manipulated. (Insane guilt towards Yvonne+ a tad dislike towards Penelope -> easily manipulated)
Sorry for the long read
The big baby hunk with his small baby and the seal are back. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~ The baby better be fine and it's a false alarm. Don't make me beg for a plot armor in a story where none should be needed
