I don't see how it could be Monica unless Jenna and Katie are also involved.
She would destroy her family, especially if the girls are in love with the MC.

Yeah, I am not saying it IS her, just that her being the 2nd gold digger would be the most dramatic. Everyone else is not a "main" girl of the right age. Unless the dad was screwing an eighteen year old (IIRC the affair happened a couple years ago) everyone that is the MC's age is eliminated (Jenna, Katie, Debbie, Lily) leaving the obvious answer (Theresa), the most dramatic answer (Monica), or a side character (Bella, Jolina, Zarah).

Unless I've miscounted?

Edited to Add: Wanda is too young but Angel could be suspect (but unless someone is playing an Angel romance game it would have minimal impact). Thank you Uncle VT!

I doubt the gold digger is Monica, but I wouldn't be surprised if she is truly responsible for your parents failed marriage. Maybe because she made a pass at your dad or maybe because she lied about it in order to encourage your mother to leave him. Either way I'm not so sure she is innocent. And even if she is guilty I doubt this would be something she would tell her daughters.

Certainly possible. Given the only 2 characters in the game that are instantly all over you ass, flirting and practically begging for it...are Monica and Zara....

It does beg a question...is there an actual reason for that....or they just written that way for porn lulz and actshunz!

Well if Monica was telling the truth and your father was very into her and tried to get a pass at her, they say love and hate are two sides of the same coin. I could potentially see it being her. It's just that. Why would he start an affair with her after she has already costed her so much?

 

[Danathor]

A little disappointing.
Too much switching for such a short update.

Angel suspect and Wanda too young.

MC is his biological son. He should inherit that wealth from his dad. That's only normal. How come he is a gold-digger? In that sense every person ever lived in this planet is a gold-digger cuz they all have been exploiting their parents financially. Here Dad was an asshole to MC and not the other way around. BTW Dad himself called Elaine as Gold-digger. He knows her the best..right?

BTW she was free to leave MC's dad when he wanted her to treat a child like shit. She instead chose to stay with his father because of his DOLLARS and made a child's life hell. The one whose mother recently died. she's a gold-digger.

The dad said in the MC's will reading Elaine didn't know how much money he had.

And that's not how it works. He may be his son but Elaine was in a long term relationship which still leaves her claim on some of that estate.

MC is going after that money just the same as Elaine is so if she is a gold digger then so is he.

She said many times that she loved his dad so why would she leave over someone she hardly knows?

MC is the gold digger? oh c'mon. It was not MC who asked his parents to born him. It is parents duty to look after their children. you brought them to the world you gotta take care of them. Now what's wrong with MC having his father's money? He fucking inherited that wealth.

your concept of Gold-Diggers is strange. I would not call myself a gold-digger if i ask my father to pay my tuition fees. i don't see any problem. btw dad himself said if those gold-diggers knew his actual worth they could have killed them. Elaine hated everything father did but she stayed around because of DOLLARS. I don't know why you are so much into defending her.

 

[d_pedestrian]

Dude i really don't care if Elaine is the gold digger (tho i hope not cuz she'll break my heart) cuz i'm a sucker for her and a lot here are even if the guy above say to "speak for my self" when i call us simp's, we are

I don't care about her being gold digger. I just hate the way she treated MC after his father died and she had no proper clarification which would justify her actions. Also she had no problems in treating a child badly whose mother just recently died because dad asked her to. If she wanted she could have left dad but because of his DOLLARS she made MC's life hell.

 

[d_pedestrian]

Just because MC's father called her that doesn't mean she is like that. Father MC is an asshole, he doesn't treat anyone right. Even his own son.

going by elaine's actions after MC's father died i can't forgive her. she must be the only woman in the game i rejected every chance to have sex. I hate her.

It's pretty clear Elaine had an epiphany after kicking out MC, she realised it isn't hate but LOVE, she loves him very much.

True story.

It is your decision how you treat her. I may not be a big fan of her, but I'm on neutral ground with her. She is beautiful, but she must earn my trust.

As for how she treated MC, she said why she did it. But it's up to you to decide whether you believe her or not. I believe her. And you should hate MC's father, not Elaine. It's because of father that MC's life was like that, he's a total asshole, manipulating people. He has money, he allows himself to do everything.

I guess i misunderstood. Could you please tell me why exactly she kicked out MC from his home just after his father died? Now if the reason is that she was in grief and she was feeling ashamed to see MC after what she did and that's why she kicked him out then please don't bother explaining because i ain't buying that explanation.

well those 2 emails which she sent threatening MC that she will throw out his belongings doesn't support your statement.

The dad gave him 100k, a beach house and a car. He's done enough to make sure he's got a roof over his head and means to look after himself until he finds a job.

The MC has inherited his share just like Elaine has inherited hers. Parental duty of care ends when a child reaches adulthood, the MC is no longer a child it's no longer his dead dads responsibility to look after him even though he did make sure he has somewhere to live.

While I agree for the most part. I do kind of side with what Katie said on her walk in the park with the MC in that, Elaine wasn't forced to treat him like that, she chose to .... The only reason she continued to treat him poorly was because she knew if she didn't she would be out on her arse and loose the lifestyle she'd become accustomed to. That doesn't paint a nice picture of who a person is deep down but hopefully she is genuine about wanting to change things, time will tell.

Well, after that. You can tell how happy she is to see him, even invited him to move back with her.

I disagree with this.

Elaine and his dad were together long before the Mc came on the scene and it's his dad she was in love with.

Now if say, my girlfriend was to suddenly announce she had a child coming to live with us and I was to ignore them I would. I love my girl and i'm not going to leave her over someone else moving in, that's a ridiculous thing to expect of someone.

Why would Elaine walk away from someone she loves over a teenager she doesn't know?

Just after 2nd email and before that meeting she got to read dad's will. obviously she's putting up this act because of the will. She have been doing this shit for 8 years. people don't change overnight. if it was really that painful for her she should have dropped the tough act just after father died.

We suspect it has to do with the will, I don't think we have evidence? Just saying, life is a gray area.

IIRC...he tells Monica and Katie Elaine been around for about 6 years.

The start of the game tells us we have been at dads since we were 11, 8 years. Maybe an oversight by Cheeky with the length of time he tells Monica how long dad been dating Elaine.
