Darcy has kicked Elizabeth out of her office, he has threatened her with lawyers, with criminal charges, with prison time, he is also threatening her livelihood (on a second company), and keeps ruthlessly abusing her verbally, because he has been lead to believe (accurately) that she is lying to him… only not on the corporate angle he believes.

There is no way back from this. I am so mad I fell for this blurb!

“It had only ever been meant as a little white lie between friends, not a company-wide hoax.”

Elizabeth and Bingle (Jane too) are nasty pieces of work, and I would not wish them near me, not even with a 1000 feet pole !

Darcy is falling hard for Elizabeth, while Elizabeth, Bingley & Jane are plotting and laughing behind his back, zero regrets about lying to Darcy all this time…

Trying to make Darcy “woke” by claiming there is a Pemberley Reparations Fund to offset some imaginary guilt for some hereditary sins of wealth of his is A BAD JOKE [ eye roll ]

What exactly is Darcy supposed to feel guilty about?? For being wealthy? For owning land ??? Or maybe for being a White European in a post-BLM society ???

There is no reason for Bingley to push his deceit at this point. The basis of the conflict is feeble and lame. Let’s see how it progresses.
