Their business partner adjusted his glasses, envy flickering in his eyes. “I’ve heard Mrs. Davidson is quite remarkable herself. And honestly, you have to admit, Mr. Davidson must really love his wife—pouring hundreds of millions into this venture, making such a spectacle out of it. He just snaps his fingers, and a whole new company springs up.”
