CASSANDRA’S POV
“When my father was sick, years ago... there was a group. Former allies. They saw his weakness as opportunity. They tried to take Vale from us. Blackmail, sabotage, financial traps. I fought them off. Barely.”
“And now they’re back.”
She nodded.
“And they’ll be more dangerous now. Smarter. More desperate.”

SCENE: STRATEGY HUDDLE
That night, we gathered the most loyal team members.
“I’m not asking for your trust anymore,” I said. “If you’re here, it’s because you’ve already proven it.”
