Chapter 11 - Daniel’s Second Video Changes Rebecca
The USB contained another video.
Rebecca had avoided watching it.
Finally, she did.
Daniel sat in the same office.
This recording was personal.
“Rebecca, if I’m wrong about all this, forgive me for being paranoid.”
He smiled weakly.
“But if I’m right, don’t spend your life protecting my company because
you think that protects me.”
Rebecca began crying.
Daniel continued:
“Protect Noah. Protect yourself. Sell every building if you want. Money
is not memory.”
That sentence broke something open inside her.
For five years, Rebecca had treated Hart Development like a mausoleum.
Victor exploited that.
He knew she would avoid looking closely because every balance sheet felt
like opening Daniel’s grave.
Daniel had anticipated it.
Not Victor specifically.
Not the future.
Her grief.
Rebecca paused the video.
Then she called the board.
“I want a complete restructuring.”

For the first time, she was not preserving Daniel’s business.
She was taking responsibility for what remained.
