Does it sound natural to say "She can never have bad intention towards me"
Does it sound natural to say:

I know she's suspicious. But I'm sure she can never have bad intention towards me and our company.

Thank you.

Answer

I would say "I know she's suspicious. But I'm sure she doesn't have have bad intention towards me and our company." It is a small difference but saying "she can never have bad intentions" is a little awkward sounding and too conditional in my view.
Hope that helps!

Answer

It's not right to use "can" in this situation. It's better to say, "But I'm sure she would never have bad intentions..."
