If I were Eden, I think it would be really hard to say no—especially knowing how life-changing that kind of money could be for family or charity. For the average person, it’s almost impossible to imagine turning it down. But Eden has lived in that world and knows the cost of getting involved with someone like Luis Felipe. Her experience probably makes her more cautious, even if the offer is tempting.

While the temptation might be there, at the end of the day I have more self-respect than to sell myself and my values short. At the same time, I can appreciate that my choice might be different if it meant my ability to provide daily food and health care for my family, but simply to “have things” - no.

No, I do not think I would. While I think that’s a lot of money and it could be put to good use. I would be worried about the strings attached to the agreement. Luis Felipe was unreliable and could not be trusted

No I would not want to be married to Luis Philippe. I never thought Eden would do it - even to save the estate for Augie, Rufus, and Bea because I think she believed they would actually be better off earning their own way.

If he were a little less repulsive I think I’d have considered it.

Definitely not! Eden was mature enough to know this step would have made her indebted to Luis Felipe and his lifestyle. She is making it clear she can’t be bought.

I hope I would say no..LOL. In the end, you are selling yourself, and really in this world we already, especially as women, give enough of ourselves away, without it being so contractural.

As others have said it’s about values and self worth seasoned with integrity. No I don’t believe I would or could have accepted. Of course any decision is shaped by circumstances so we’re always weighing pros and cons with our values.

Its a lot of money, however, it would have come with a lot of heartaches. He was a mess, an absolutely addicted to many things. Money may provide shelter, food, travel and being able to buy whatever you need whenever you need it , but it doesn’t bring peace of mind. Married to Felipe and his addictions would have only brought her pain.

I like to say I would not, but honestly, it would be hard to walk away from that offer. I don’t think that I would, especially since he was so terrible. But I do think I would have gone to a party for 2 million.

Absolutely not!!! I have more self-respect than that would allow. Also, he was so repulsive…I could never be attracted to him.

I hope not. It reminds me of the old joke, “We know what you are; we just have to agree on the price.” Yuck!

No, I would not accept the original offer. However, I might have tried to negotiate with Luis Felipe to be there to support him with addiction recovery. He needed someone to see him and help him. However, it was pretty clear he did not want (or think he needed) help, so it would most likely have been a lost cause.

If I were Eden, I would not have accepted Luis Felipe’s invitation! I would have been tempted, but
in the long run I don’t think I would have been happy!
