Chapter 10 - Melissa Reveals the Hidden Debt

Melissa finally confessed why she had become desperate.
Two years earlier, she invested heavily in a luxury housing project. It
collapsed.
She hid the losses from Daniel and borrowed against accounts he rarely
checked.
Total debt: roughly $1.4 million.
The Redmont sale—and Daniel’s potential bonus—could rescue them.
When Helen kept opposing the deal, Melissa searched for another way to
control the deciding shares.
Gregory told her to document Helen’s decline.
Melissa claimed he never explicitly ordered a staged prank.
She invented that herself.
“Why Tyler?” Helen asked.
Melissa cried. “Because I thought you’d react more strongly if it
involved him.”

Helen’s expression hardened.
“You used your son as bait against his grandmother.”
