Yeah, but what a gamble. Having the notebook get stolen only to stop that marriage. She had no guarantee they'd…
That's the general consensus, yes.
However, they probably won't lose everything. The notebook alone shouldn't contain any incriminating evidence of embezzlement or blackmail. Plus she has a written contract for her initial 180 Million Yen. As for blackmail; she actually helped the taxation bureau, so they might let her off the hook with a light penalty.
Yasujima only had a mediating role in the bribery he's being accused of. It shouldn't cost him his seat in the Diet.
In a way, they are both free now. She can get rid of the notebook, manage both clubs without it and get the man she wants. He won't have to deal with that bribery in the future anymore + he got to cancel the marriage. Those two things were his last (known) remaining ties to the late Hasegawa.
I don't like they way they ended the Hashida storyline though, because they didn't... end... it.
