She therefore sets out to do something about it but couldn’t materialize it. She was under the presumption that she was cut out to be rich and deserved better from life. However, she was against gambling. When she finds out that Paul was engaging in betting, she makes him promise to not think about gambling again as she saw her family members pursue it and it only led to their fall.
