Don't listen to the one that compare Teresa to Rubi.
Sure you can say than physically Rubi is prettier than Teresa, but that all !
Teresa outsmart Rubi in every point when it came to education and maliciousness.
If my memory is good, Teresa was the top student of her course and was even a Major, she had brain and means.
Her only problem was that she wanted to be rich fast, really fast, so she took shortcut and prefers to use he beauty instead of using her diploma and connection to her law professor to build herself a name in the law world.
Teresa had manners and knew etiquette because of her Godmother who use to be a Dame du monde.
Rubi was street smart but didn't has the academical intelligence of Teresa. She use to manipulate her fellow classmates to do her homework while Teresa was just so intelligent that her classmate, a girl name Aida, was madly jealous of her.
Aida was jealous of Teresa beauty, intelligence and the fact that she dated the man she wanted. So when she found out that Tersa was poor and was hiding it from her boyfriend and their classmates, she expose her in front of everyone at a party and humiliate her, this was what triggered further her drive to succeed and stand above others in the shortest times possible. She also blame her poverty as the cause of the dead of her sister.
Teresa wasn't so bad, the first love that she abandoned, she did so because he lack ambitions and didn't want to exploit his potential to be better and leave poverty.
Ruby use her beauty and the lust men felt for her at her advantage, but had she been ordinary looking, she wouldn't have achieve much in life instead of Teresa who could still have become one of the best lawyer in the country without her beauty had she had the patience to start like any young graduate facing the world of work.
