a micro judgement only on the first part, on the confrontation with Bella and Jolina that I think will be one of the important parts of the chapter anyway.
I consider it quite successful: it succeeds quite well in cleaning up the figure of Jolina, who only really lies to MC when she does not yet know him and never has an overview of what is going on, so that however 'blonde' in trusting Bella she is credible
for Bella the discourse is more complicated, she remains a fundamentally insane character, maniacally attached to both Jolina and MC (and at this point also to Donald's money...). her version is acceptable only from this point of view, a strongly disturbed person who believes she acts for a higher good. the real problem is that her actions remain confused, she wants MC to be reunited with Monica and the girls, but she is the first to put in MC's head the suspicion that Monica had an affair with Donald, she does everything to ruin the relationship with Katie (here it could be simple jealousy). she is never straightforward in any of her actions, to really trust her is impossible. very interesting that the game leaves the possibility to wait for the best chance to take revenge in case Bella got her share of the inheritance
i absolutely did not like the fact that the structure of the confession is practically the same in every situation, if MC has cut off any relationship with Jolina, her presence is quite useless, she has nothing to clarify, Bella's version is enough. similarly, if the relationship with Elaine is bad, her presence remains a nuisance, only partially compensated by the possibility of a final reconciliation
but the scene has just the right amount of drama, with the possibility of venting or forgiveness
