Chapter 12 - David Cancels the Family Trip
The Costa Rica trip disappeared from the calendar.
David canceled every ticket.
He reported the forged documents and unauthorized use of his signature.
Rebecca notified the company board about the potential conflict
involving Thomas and Northbridge.
Northbridge placed Thomas on leave while conducting its own review.
Susan’s role was referred to appropriate professional and legal review.
Rachel moved out under an interim agreement.

His biological father had been absent for years.
Rachel was still his mother.
David had no automatic right to keep him.
But Noah asked to remain temporarily with David while adults sorted

He only knew that night, Noah slept in his own room.
