Behind every great man, there is always a great woman

A man becomes President thanks to his wife, but he wants to divorce her at all costs to "protect" her. Twenty years of marriage and a daughter, but at a certain point he'll be forced to choose between his family and the mission for which he wanted to become President: to pass this "special act" to bring justice to friends who died in a fire at a chemical plant.
For mysterious reasons, his wife was the first to want to block the passage and refuse to divorce.
To protect herself, she hires the only lawyer who accepts her, a friend of her husband. He also betrays her, stealing evidence from her and handing the bag to the President.
At a certain point, the plot thickens, and it's no longer clear who's the good guy and who's the bad guy, who's upright and who's a traitor. Everyone is seeking revenge for the death of a mother, a friend or their parents.
In the end, I felt disappointed by this powerful "Madame," whom I pitied throughout the series but who also had her share of blame.
They could have saved the final scene because we're short on time. They don't find him, but how (?) she knew perfectly well where he was. In the meantime, she was hospitalized, recovered, had time to give a conference about her beloved husband (to whom she had told she had only used him to achieve her goals), then she waits for the rescuers to find him and... surprise... a word, which I won't reveal!
