Chapter 14

Nolan didn't raise his voice or lash out at him. He asked one simple question instead, wondering aloud whether they would have treated him the same way if there had been no camera recording every moment. Dalton had no answer for that, and the silence that followed said more than any excuse could have.Nolan told him gently that he didn't need Dalton to defend his reputation or fix what had already happened in public; he only needed Dalton to decide, honestly, what kind of man he wanted to become once he stepped outside the shadow of his family's name.Dalton finally admitted that Vivian had planned to provoke Nolan from the very beginning, having discovered his name on a list of residents formally opposing the development. What she hadn't known, until that morning at the bench, was that the man on the list had once been a national champion inside a cage. Dalton also revealed that Preston still had the original audio recording from before the confrontation, in which Vivian explicitly instructed Grant to make the first physical move, on the condition that the camera captured nothing until after Nolan reacted.Nolan asked Dalton to testify to that truth at the upcoming public hearing about the park's future. Dalton hesitated, painfully aware that doing so could cost his family a business relationship worth millions of dollars. Nolan didn't pressure him further, saying only that the door would remain open until the moment the hearing actually began.
