The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1124

As for Mr. Burton, he’d already stepped down; he no longer had the authority to move such a large sum from The Burton Group.

The Watson family, who were on good terms with Stella, had just sunk a fortune into a massive new project. Their company’s accounts were completely drained—there was no way they could offer Stella much help now.
