Chapter 80: Financial Ruin

Emily’s clothing company was doing really well. She got a bigger space for her boutique, and her designs were sold in several department stores around the country. She didn’t want to tell Byron too much about it yet since he was suffering from the downturn of the economy and the artificial lowering of his stock thanks to Christine’s machinations. He got home much later than Emily did, but even in the evenings he would be on his phone talking to brokers and financial advisors.
