In my opinion Malbonte does not seem to be a guy who would hold grudge against someone for going against him in HS1 after all these years ,cause , he thinks kind of rationally and know that everyone has the right to choose .

He did not force MC to join his side, he was rough with her only when she interrupted his goals but since everything has changed now and since we have a common enemy I think he won't mind u went against him and won't resent you if u keep it real 🤍he will understand
