Simon’s life changed dramatically two years ago, when Gemma exposed his affair with Kate. He and Kate left Parminster and he faced a divorce, estrangement from his son Tom, the loss of his company, and criminal charges for hitting Gemma.
Although Simon hates London, he and Kate settled there for a while with their newborn daughter, Amelie. But now Simon’s suddenly back in Parminster – apparently having done extremely well for himself.
What’s brought about this dramatic change in circumstances? And what are his real reasons for moving back?
