Chapter 13 / 20
Chapter 13 - The Contract FreezesThe district froze Summit Trails renewal.
Not terminated instantly.
Review first.
Procurement reopened.
Robert Carter’s company could rebid.
Conflict controls strengthened.
Mrs. Carter removed from every vendor-related role.
The lender noticed.
Summit Trails had to revise projections.
Robert became furious.
He called Mark once.
Bad idea.
“You think destroying this program helps kids?”
Mark answered:
“I didn’t hit my son.”
Silence.
Robert said:
“Elaine made a terrible mistake.”
“Three.”
“What?”
“Three strikes.”
Robert hung up.
Later he apologized through counsel.
His anger revealed something important.
He still saw consequences as something Mark was doing.
Not something Mrs. Carter’s conduct caused.
The same psychological pattern.
