That's a bit to cynical for me... and i'm pretty sure the Dev wants to create an enjoyable harem ending, haha.
Katie, Jenna, Lily and Debbie - If anyone of them were the gold digger... that would be some season 8 Game Of Thrones levels of "subverting expectation." So i doubt it would be one of them.
Monica - Probably did something shady, but the MC and her will talk. All will be forgiven.
Elaine - Too obvious therefore i doubt it. If anything she'll sacrifice herself for the MC. Maybe even give the MC her portion of the inheritance once he forfeits it. She's a redemption arc, imo.
Bella - Maybe guilty, she lays it on pretty thick... kind of sketchy.
Angel/Wanda - Nah, they're for harem, lol. Hoping for Wanda redemption actually, looks like it's going that way. Plus MC might partake in Wanda's trust fund. Another happy ending.
Theresa - For all we know, Tommy is MCs half-brother. She may very well be the 3rd candidate for the inheritance. Her task to to "Save" the MC, probably. Although, i doubt she's the gold digger.
Jolina - Too many sketchy comments from her. And her past is littered with clues she knew MCs father. Without going into it too much, she's the logical choice to be the gold digger. I'd have to replay to pull the citations. But If not for money, it's for vengeance.
There's my brief ramble. "Where the Heart Is"... Emphasise on "family" and pretty much all of them are MCs family in one way or another... Except Jolina.
Harem doesn't mean best outcome.
My believing everyone isn't that good, I give that to you for being cynical.
I make no argument against that.
Everyone doing something off and justifying it is just a fact.
I don't put faith in the fortune teller. I have stated this in the past.
Believing it is possible that Monica set it all up.
Why I stopped posting when people got into what was said,
because I believe its meant to add distrust onto others.
As well as keep people guessing, while tossing them off track.
The whole game so far has had a lot of people setting things up.
Its hard to turn a blind eye on anyone.
As I stated once before I think Monica , manipulates Zarah(?) to get her to put things in place in a cunning way.
Once you get money Zarah jumps on the M.C. saying she needs money and wouldn't come to you.
Or something to that effect.
Who is to say this isn't sparked by Monica. Zarah treats you differently if you say no.
Given the size of the house she lives in, given the fact 3 people lived there for how long?
Now 4...
The cost of living would state shes doing VERY well for herself.
Which makes me always question Zarah.
I might be reading a bit too much into that but it strikes me as interesting how if you go for the romance route
She sets herself up nicely.
Given how much pre-covid , life costs in general, for him to say no and protect his future is not something to get upset over.
Living there prices are sky high.
I'm just talking normal ways of living food, electricity, water bill, basics are expensive.
Not to mention putting kids through college.
So having money can vanish easy if you aren't smart about spending.
My whole argument has been building a life. "family"
None of which I view any of them doing anything. Hence "building a future"
Each person does something which is questionable and then takes it to the next step going too far.
I have stated before , for characters I have a weak spot for Bella but as stated before I also don't trust her.
That's manly due to her sister but she is only one of few I'd give a chance to.

Depends how you wish to read the title on where the heart is.
It does imply family but also implies where you view it.
There is family all over of which you aren't actually a part of.
Even Katie often pokes at the M.C. for being lazy and should do something.
I take it as building your family.
As I see it your step mother kicked you out, we all remember how it started.
Your father wants you away from basically all the cast.
Living with Monica and everyone has done nothing for the M.C. growth at all.
Support at the start of the game, did well but hes not getting onto his feet and seems to lack motivation,
with his banter with Katie was it? He stated he needed to work out again? Wheres the gym? lol
Him living there beyond the need to makes no growth for him.
I get his dad died but he had no real emotional connection to his dad.
Now its all about the will. He doesn't or at least shouldn't need so much moral support by Monica and her family.
Being where the M.C. is only makes him a victim of victim of circumstance.
Hes not growing as a character, almost seems like hes letting other people guide his life.
I never trusted Katie after the birthday stunt, later when it came to the whole wine bit, when you get the beach house.
It has never sat well with me how she talked about counting the wine and price.
I always said that, the M.C. should have given half the wine to Monica as a thank you for letting him live there.
But when talking about the cost of wine and Kate doing the math on it, that's something I question.
Jenna did the whole hacking thing granted I understand the whole story about this but watching you have sex a little weird. but like I said it always goes that one step too far.
Angel and Wanda.
Angel my other weak spot , I think she does use you to advance her career.
But she's best girl in my eyes. I think shes morally better adjusted than most in the game.
Wanda , I'm sure she'd do anything to get ahead in life. She was treating Angel horrible and even is condescending saying isn't that the secretary if you pick her as a model. Even if you try to get her to be nicer she always defaults to bitch.
Jolina just rubs be the wrong way. No pun intended. She easily seems to willing to use other people.
Elanie I think I got her name right? I honestly don't know how I should see her. I actually like her more than Jolina, which I am sure I will get flack for but that isn't saying much because I cant stand stand her lol.
Lilly is one I don't know really how to read. I have conflicting thoughts on her.
Debbie which is the other one I have a weak spot for. I tend to view her as kinda like James Woods from south park "oh a piece of candy" kinda thing but with sex lol. She doesn't leave a good lasting impression specially with her focus mainly on Lilly.
