70 BIG SHOES TO FILL

The baby shower was held in the reception hall of the Sunrise Hotel, owned by Mr. Edward Harris, the proprietor of H Constructions and one of Richard Clark's business partners.

Despite being a celebration of a joyous occasion, the party stirred quite a buzz in high society, all because of the woman at the center of it all.

The woman in question was Shelly Grant, Edward's second wife, who had once been his mistress. Edward had gone through a rather messy divorce with his first wife, Lucy Stiles, when Shelly became pregnant and demanded that he marry her instead. Since it was well- known that Lucy was unable to have children, and given that Shelly was considered to be of respectable breeding, Edward's parents insisted on the divorce, though Lucy did not agree to it.

After three long months of navigating the court system, Edward was finally able to marry Shelly. Now, the crème de la crème of socialites was attending is second wife's baby shower.
