Monica has a very strong character, the only thing that counts for her is/was her business and success. Now that she lost it, she tries everything to get it back. But she can take revenge only after getting everything back. She mentioned that several times in the game, btw. And it's still a game, so - like someone already wrote, if she would just go to another laywer and force her wealth back, the game would be done in one version.
I just got the feeling that you can't see through her eyes, the dev wrote Monica with a strong character and also lovely and deeply detailed. Besides her comments on things or other people in the game, you get to know a lot about her when she makes comments on objects. It isn't a simple h-game, DecentMonkey lays much weight on depth or the story. Also his humor, coming to surface though Monica, is really funny at most times. I suggest to have a look at the film "The devil wears Prada", then play Ep1 again and you know where the inspiration came from.
