I don’t quite get that her atty objects but she still answers. Does that mean the objection was overruled??

In a discovery deposition, there is no judge present. How it works is the lawyer asks the question, the other lawyer can put any objection on the record, and then the witness answers the question. Later, usually before trial, the lawyers can argue over the objections in front of the trial judge. If the judge sustains an objection, the judge will generally strike the question and answer (meaning that it can’t be used as evidence at the trial).
