Current time…
After Bertha started interrupting Shina's conflicts with Nathaniel and Victor, the two girls ceased their interaction. Bertha began devoting more time to the company of those two dominant figures instead of Shina's team.
"Bertha," Bing Shi said, her tone resolute when Bertha suddenly asked her to meet up, "I want you to listen carefully. While it's important to express your emotions honestly, I need you to understand that Nathaniel and Victor may not have your best interests at heart."
"...But…" Bertha hesitated, her voice filled with uncertainty. It was not like Shina had her best interest at heart either, especially when it came to men.
Bertha thought that Shina didn't like how she had received a bit of attention from two popular Alphas. It was always like this, Silvia would always begin to paint the people she began to like in a bad image so she would hate and fear them.
