They were all right, she was too naive...
In this deceptive financial world, why did she believe Will Caddel valued her abilities, her diligence, why did she think that when her clothes got splattered with mud, he would stop and offer his handkerchief...
Businesspeople are not philanthropists; their essence is profit, not benevolence.
None of them were wrong; she was wrong.
She was wrong...
She was wrong for being too naive, wrong for... after so many years, after experiencing so much, still being so easily trusting.
It was her mistake.
She lost once again, when she gave it her all to try and prove herself through skill and effort, yet was easily defeated.
Destroying someone who tries hard is simple; just pour cold water on them when they feel most hopeful, and they will be lost in despair, never able to rise again.
No matter how many times she fell to rock bottom, she could climb back up, never conceding easily because she knew there was still hope in the distance.
