Other stockholders became wary and also started to sell their stocks, which continued for two days. People blamed him partially for the market crash. The company whose shares he sold was that of Gayle Silver, who was a big-time politician and a businessman. Gayle Silver was a feared man. No one had ever estimated his wealth because the legend was that they were rich from generations. When this event occurred, although it was like peanuts for Silver, he didn't take it kindly.
At the same time, no one knew the amount of money Luke made from that, but it was huge enough for him to step into big circles. There was no looking back after that. By this time, he had married a girl from a high society whose father was also a big time politician. He married his wife partially out of love and partially for political gains.
Clare and Luke had a perfect life until Luke became wayward. He would cheat very frequently and this took a toll on Clare's health.
