Chapter 11 - THE TRUTH BEHIND THE CHRISTMAS GALA
Months later, Walter Fenwick invited me to another meeting.
His analysts had completed their review.

“Fenwick Capital is not proceeding with the financing.”

“Because of the gala?”
He shook his head.
“No.”
His expression was serious.
“Because the financial package did not meet our standards.”
I looked down.
Walter continued.
“What happened at the gala told me something about your husband's judgment.”
He paused.
“But the financing decision was based on the records.”
I nodded.
