That's intense for anyone to handle one at a time let alone all at once for a 16-17 year old girl. Jesus, it's no wonder she had issues. She had no real support, no comfort, and nowhere to turn....and Harsen is just like any other emotionally detached 17-18 year old boy. He's doing what he is supposed to according to the "adults" with no understanding in the slightest that something is wrong. He has no comprehension that scolding her for not "Momming" is only going to make it all worse

Everyone is all up in arms about how Wendy is feeling or how she's been manipulated, but without Aiden she'd just be dead. Nobody gave a crap about her. Her own family knew what would happen if they threw her out. She may have natural abilities, but she only got the opportunities in her life because Aiden made sure she'd be safe. She's not exactly been pleasant to the people around her. She's been arrogant and unsociable even to her own team. She's only become a better supervisor and friend since Aiden became a part of her life. Not saying it was alright for Aiden to tie them together without her permission, but he's not the only one that needs to work on communication skills and just being a better person in general.

No wonder Shuli had such a hard time previously. She was facing opposition and criticism from every angle even though she hadn't even done anything wrong. Even the "daughter in law " is gunning for her over the possiblity Jeremy Might hold slight affection for her...I wonder if she's who set up the ambush to kill Shuli originally?
I mean, even in fiction why would anyone be interested in Johannes, let alone with Payne standing there for comparison???
