Chapter 14 - Rebecca Wears the Bracelet Again
Months later, Rebecca attended a Hart Foundation event.
For the first time since the ballroom, she wore Daniel’s bracelet.
Michael noticed.
“You sure?”
Rebecca touched the clasp.
“Yes.”
The USB was no longer inside.
It remained preserved with the evidence.
The bracelet was simply a bracelet again.
That mattered.
Guests asked about Victor.
Rebecca refused to turn the evening into gossip.
She spoke about housing grants, scholarships, and a new governance
policy requiring independent review of major family-company
transactions.
Noah attended for one hour.
Then he became bored and asked to leave with Michael for ice cream.
Rebecca smiled.
That was what she wanted.
Not a child who became the guardian of adult secrets.
A child who got bored at fundraisers.

A child whose biggest evening decision was chocolate or vanilla.
Noah chose both.
