She does avoid it twice, which makes it seem like she IS actively avoiding it more than mere coincidence that she didn't feel like going for a coffee.
First one was in the beach house, after the conversation, MC invite her to hang out a bit more, she agrees, then MC mentions about the coffee place she suddenly says she can't go anymore since it's far and her appointment is on the opposite direction.
Then of course we have that bit in the car where it's her who initially invites MC for a coffee and insists him to get one since there's a coffee shop nearby. After MC declines but drives past by Jo's MC brings up the coffee bit and for some reason suddenly she doesn't feel like going for a coffee anymore?
It definitely sounds like she IS actively avoiding either Cup of Jo's or Jolina.
It may be because she sent the email but there could also be more to the story than that. After all, If it's about the email, she has zero idea MC has been snooping and investigating about this, so it makes no sense for Elaine to avoid it, take caution, since a normal person wouldn't think someone was looking through cctvs to find out some obscure activity a long time back.
Despite all this, I still believe Elaine is genuine in terms of her intentions and feelings. Because it makes no sense for her to be the "evil" or manipulative one when there already is the gold digger for that.
At this point I'm just too smitten with Elaine that I hope that she's not manipulating MC or else I would be devastated.
Like I said before it is possible she is avoiding Jo herself, but having to avoid a coffee visit because of it being on the complete opposite area is not wrong in it self, we don't know how long the drive is and we don't know what time her appointment is or how close we are from it compared to if we were at the coffee shop so this could be legit but like I said he only brings her there a second time and he never actually doubles down. So yes she might be avoiding Jo but I doubt she would be avoiding it because she could possibly be the person that has send the email. She is a mature and smart woman but she is everything but tech savvy and smart in that department so that brings me to the conclusion like I said before, it is possible she has personal beef with Jo. Jo is in to women and from what I have found it seems that she and Bella had or have a thing going but also like I said I doubt Jo is a GD and she is possibly being used. Simply said to get that CCTV it seems Jo needed to pull a Jenna ( in other words a hack ) however she never said she was the one that has done the Hack, she merely said it was done. That brings it in to the same notion of her having found a possible Virus just when Bella encounters the USB, so it is possible that Bella was the one who got rid off or mentioned a Virus being on the laptop so Bella might be the tech savvy one and is the one who provided the footage. When you show Bella a pic of Elaine in the coffeeshop ( even if it is a bit older pic where her hair was longer ) she tells you, it might be possible but she would need a better picture, she never outright confirms or denies Elaine.
That brings me to another thing, with all the time that MC has spend with Elaine he never bothered to get a picture of Elaine and show it to her so that is also stupid on his end I would have done that as soon as possible.
Well the MC is controlled by us so he can be as nice or not as we want him to be... She changes tack quickly after the conditions are known. It doesn't scream "honest" in terms of reactions.
And she only "sends" him to Monica in that Monica was the only person that responded to the email she sent. As I've said before the MC has crappy friends if the email went out to everyone and Monica was the only one who responded. Thing is that means that Elaine had Monica's email address unless it went to Monica's business email and that is publicly available.
That Email was send at the start of the game before any conditions was known to anyone, including Elaine knowing about the conditions and that there was a third person and that she was being cheated on, she switched the moment she heard about the conditions because it meant she was playing right in to Don's hand by kicking him out.
And we only actually know or heard or think our stuff have actually been thrown out because Bella said so, we never actually have seen that too be the case. And remember if you do mention to Elaine about what bella said, when she said " now you are never going to... " this one is easy at this point, it is not the inheritance perse but more so about her not getting the house. Now why she legit wants the house and just merely the house is a mystery to anyone. Sure Don did not exactly pay any or much attention to her but he never outright abused her either, she merely was there and an annoyance and being threated like sort of a trophy wife of some sort. But she could genuinely have good memories of that house and like the area and just wants new memories. She gives everything else away if she can for just the house. And her conditions are not to seduce the MC but instead to cut ALL contact with the MC she must legit avoid him and discard him as if he never existed and prob even worse since she does say that the conditions make it that it would legit make the MC hate her to her core.
True, but the lawyer said that one of the other recipient know the conditions of the will, can be Elaine.
then again a lady with those tits can't be guilty
I have pointed this one out already. This game throws you Red herrings and curve balls like no tomorrow. The first with the fortune telling who talks about a sister and a pretty blonde who has a preference for women which makes you think it is about Katie and Debbie and makes it clear that the blonde is warming up to you but is closer to the sister still, this comes right after Debbie comes out to you so your first thought would be oh it's debbie. No it is not, it is tricking you while giving you hints.
The sister and the blonde are Bella and Jolina that is what the whole fortune about the blonde and sister was talking about. It would be weird talking about a sister and a pretty blonde but leave out a damn hot beauty like Lily which never get's pointed out in that whole prophecy, so that whole convo was about Bella and Jo.
The Mother figure who has kept you two apart not by her choice but by the fault of another and she wishes to tell you something but cannot, this part is about Elaine. Not Monica.
There is also a part about Monica in there, that part is that she is one of the obstacles in the way of the MC his money.
And then there is a conversation about the Viper/Dizzy. Short but it comes down to this " She is Dizzy by Name but NOT by Nature " is all we are given on the GD.
The same thing goes for the Lawyer, He tells you and gives you enough information to point out that Elaine is not the GD nor the backstabber. One he said he met/spoken that person only TWICE, he met/spoke with Elaine at least 3 times.
Now here comes to deceiving curveball that happened just like with the fortune telling.
He tells you this person knows and has seen the will and knows about EVERYONE's conditions. He does not know if they spoke to Don about it or if they have found it lying around. And who after that conversation with the lawyer mentions she had a talk about the will with Don ? Elaine. So what does your brain automatically do ? Point fingers to Elaine being that person.
However, here is a few problems with that. If Elaine knew about the conditions, it means Elaine would have known she was being cheated on and that there was a third person involved... Yet she never knew about this until everyone got their conditions. Elaine does not know who the other person is but the person who knows about all the will owners knows exactly who the other owners are. The person who KNOWS about the conditions has a different type of condition to inherit everything.
That condition is not for what she must do for example like Elaine and MC both have to do things to be able to get there will. The third owner of the will does not have requirement she must fill out, no her conditions are more tied to the actions of the MC. And he never pointed out that Elaine could be one of the people who knows about all the wills. He never gave a name.
