Suffering a life-threatening condition, William woke up in hospital to find that his wife was divorcing him, was determined to destroy his business and leave him only with his half share of their six-bedroom Edwardian house (enough for 2 modest houses) and the family were in a state of collapse.
Was it all worth it?
William knew it was not right and, whilst in recovery, did everything he could to halt the sale of the Williams Company through the proper channels.
Despite the might of his company secretary and wife, the company accountant and bank manager, they may also now be wondering whether it was all worth it as they have since borne the brunt of what was not right when normal procedures are not followed.
There has been no actual evidence that Barclays' fixed term mortgages payment were ever in default. That it is out of bag.
What goes around comes round.
