Kevin would try his best to fulfil his wife's desires and dreams. However, in a situation such as this, he needed to persuade Ryan to show up to explain the whole thing about the photos to the public.
Maybe Ryan's explanation could also sway the mass' view about Anne.
However, Kevin frowned when he heard an automated voice on the other end of the line—Ryan had turned off his cell phone.
He wondered why Ryan turned off his phone in a situation like this.
On the other side, just as Kevin had expected, the paparazzi came to Anne's house again, only to find that the hostess along with her family had left. So they went to the Fu Family's Villa but all they could do was patiently wait outside since none of them were allowed to go inside.
In the living room of the Fu Family's Villa, Selma was sitting on the sofa, looking dejected.
Back when she hated Anne, she wanted to release the photos in public, but had restrained herself from doing so for the sake of Fu Family's reputation.
But she never imagined that someone else would do the work in her place. She gritted her teeth.
'That damn thief. He not only stole the laptop but also stole some jewelry and now that the photos have been leaked, God knows what other people are thinking about us,' Selma thought.
She suspected that whoever spread the photos must have paid web surfers to spread them fast and make them go viral. Otherwise it wouldn't have been known by so many people in such a short period of time.
"Mom, tell your servants and maids not to tell Eddy and Sally about this scandal," Anne said worriedly as she came and sat on the couch. Selma nodded in agreement.
Anne looked exhausted and worried. The last thing she wanted was her children to get involved in this mess.
Selma looked at her with guilt. "Before the children came, I had told my servants and maids not to say anything about this. Don't worry, they won't get to know about this scandal."
Anne felt a little relieved when she heard this.
She excused herself and called Ryan again. His phone was still switched off. She had called him immediately after finding out that the photos had been made public and even that time, the phone was switched off.
She frowned and wondered if Ryan had known this matter already. Why was his phone powered off? Worry and unease niggled in her heart.
"Anne. It was all my fault at that time. I didn't expect such a thing to happen one day," Selma said regretfully.
After all, now that she had admitted that Anne was the daughter-in-law of the Fu Family, she had to maintain the dignity of the family. But never had she imagined that one day she would be the one to ruin the family's reputation.
Looking at Selma, Anne shook her head with a smile. "Mom, it's all over. Let's stop thinking about it. The most important thing now is that we need to find a way to stop the photos from spreading any more than they already have."
Selma nodded. In an era where everything was one-click away, it was very difficult to stop something which had already gone viral.
But they needed to think of a solution as soon as possible.
On the other side, Kim in H City had also received the news. He frowned and looked at his phone.
He had asked his men to steal the laptop, but he never asked anyone to post the photos online. He was sure it was done by Ryan.
'Ryan, damn you!' Kim cursed inwardly. How did he dare to do such a thing without telling him first? What was Ryan planning?
