When Henry got home, his wife Susan was waiting for him in the sitting room, she was aware of what her husband was doing to his friend, and she did not feel guilty. In her heart, she missed the time when she used to live in affluence. She loved to shop without looking at the price tag.
Susan contributed to the failure of her husband's company as all she cared about was showing off her wealth by buying the latest designer's clothes, shoes and bags. This was why Henry did not have many assets, and once his goods faced a little problem, the company folded up. If not that, many women in high social standing would look down on her; if she decided to leave her husband and become a mistress, she would have left him long ago.
