What does "Muffy knew how much Francine liked her old glove, but that didn't mean 'she' had to like it." mean?

@caneskym I'm sorry, I got confused! Muffy is the one who does not like the glove, not Francine. Sorry! It can be easy to mix up

It's hard to explain why it means Muffy.
"Francine liked the glove, but that didnt mean SHE had to." the italicized "she" is emphasizing how Muffy does not have to share Francine's feelings
I hope this makes sense!

Let me know Who 'she' means, please. Muffy? or Francine?

@caneskym It sounds like Muffy knew that Francine liked the old glove, but Francine herself did not like it

EDIT: after reading the picture you added, this is wrong! It's easy to mix up pronouns. It actually meant Muffy did not like it. I'm sorry for the confusion!

Thank you for replying.
I'm not sure who 'her' and 'she' mean. I guess her means Francine and she means Muffy. But reverse also makes sense to me.

Thank you for your help.
When I meet 'he' or 'she' in sentences, I sometimes get confused about who 'he' or 'she' means. And I wondered what I guessed is right or not.
Thx :)
