Spoiler alert - so now that Mimi is involved, she thinks Dina’s gone too far and wants to put a stop to it. But when it was just Esti & Eli, she kept pushing for keeping the peace.

I didn’t think it was possible, but I have a new least favorite character

Also, where was Mimis husband till now? Why did he wake up all of a sudden when Dina is going after his money? Oh, now he's not ok with the whole Eli not being allowed to see his mom? Selfish selfish selfish ugh. This story makes my blood boil.

Eli has such terrible communication skills. Esti is not the greatest either, but she has been trying countless times to communicate with her brick wall of a husband. Even leaving Dina out of the picture, their marraige cannot survive on the level of communication that they have!

if the author wants she can put some more communication skills in them, but not sure if she knows how.

Now finding it all just very irritating
Though the BIL did say some good home truths
Refreshing
But offset by the gross context

Yes my blood was boiling when I read that.

All of a sudden when it affects Mimi she doesn't care about 'keeping the peace' and 'not hurting Dina cos she just lost her father'.

She doesn't validate Esti or apologise.

Gotta say, this twist was a brilliant move on the author's part.

He probably was letting the siblings fight their own battles, trying not to get involved, unlike Esti.

However, once it came to his money/house, he stood up. I actually think he's a man, as opposed to Eli, who's a wimp.''

It makes total sense he's only standing up now. I don't blame him.

I do think Mimi is a hypocrite, but still not as bad as Dina.

I hope Eli wakes up and realizes how sick Dina is.

Eli is still not waking up to smell the roses when Ari told him Dina found something on him cheating in business.

He wasn't cheating. Dina is determined to find issues where there are none. Although that doesn't really help her honestly. Even she gets her own brother thrown into jail, who is then going to run the business and bankroll her house? and legal fees......

Right, I know. I should have said "supposedly cheating"
And she's stupid enough not to think this far, to what will happen if he's arrested and can't run her business any more.

Eli and Dina are so made for each other. They should divorce their spouses and get married. They're brother and sister. Oh well....
Dina is a psychopath. But Eli is so obtuse. Dina would try to murder him and he would still 'keep the peace'..
And Mimi, selfish hypocrite!

What a family lol
I do wonder if Eli's "keeping the family together" was in large part due to Mimi saying that. Now that she changed her tune, maaaaybe something will click in his mind.
Esti must feel so good now.

I wonder if people who aren't into fiction think we've got a few screws loose getting all worked up over people that literally don't exist LOL

I'm way too emotionally invested in a drama that not only doesn't concern me, it actually isn't even happening lol

I think Mimi is worse because Dina is obviously some kind of a narcissist. She’s beyond empathy and reason. Mimi knew Dina was wrong all along but happily threw Eli and Esti under the bus, even if would lead to their divorce and financial ruin, as long as it didn’t effect her.

This author always is lacking communication between her characters.

I don't think it's intentinal.
