I Made Him, I’ll Break Him

The condition attached to the marriage was that Leona Jones tell no one she was the heir to Jones Group, her husband included. Her grandfather had been against the match from the start, so she and Hugh Clark registered it without telling him. That was seven years before. For those seven years Leona worked on Hugh's company from behind, building it up from nothing so that her grandfather would come round to him in the end. The seventh anniversary fell on the day the two groups were marking a partnership. Hugh spent it at a party with his staff for another woman and gave her a necklace worth 13.14 million. Leona walked in while the two of them were about to kiss. She filed for divorce and brought a suit against Clark Group over defective products, and the company was in crisis by the end of it.
