Ezra was speechless since he had been standing there, unnoticed.
He thought he was no longer the favored one in the family and even his own mother cared less about him now.
Nancy finally paid a glance at her son right before he freaked out. She stepped forward to give him a big hug, "Long time, my darling boy."
"I've been missing you, dear mum." Ezra hugged her and said in a low voice. Obviously, they were pretty close to each other.
They had some small talks and then left for the parking lot with the child. But their presence was really eye-catching and they caught lots of attention.
But neither Maisie nor Ezra had expected the press to be so good at making up stories. The paparazzi took the photos of Ezra and Nancy when they were hugging each other, then they uploaded the photos on the internet with the title, "Ezra cheated on his newly wedded wife right after their official announcement of marriage."
They had only snapped the figure of Nancy in the photos from which Nancy did look like a slender young woman.
Themed on the disgusting title, a Facebook user had posted an article at great length. He first taunted Maisie for demeaning herself to compromise though her husband hugged another woman in front of her and didn't give a shit about her, the so-called wife.
Besides, he also disdained Ezra for having played around and proved himself a rich playboy.
Then, he teased Nancy for being so shameless to throw herself into Ezra's arms right in front of his wedded wife.
They hadn't read the news until they arrived home. Ezra had pissed off right away. He didn't care how those people badmouthed him and he didn't take to heart that those social media kept giving him the persona of a jerk and playboy years ago.
But Maisie and Nancy, the two women he loved most in life, were harshly defamed by the media and he just couldn't stand it anymore. Then, he called Phil directly.
Phil said idly on the other end of the phone, "I've dug it for you. It's nothing but a marketing account, which aimed to attract a lot of attention to make money by publicizing articles that were against social values. The article had been read and reposted more than five hundred times, and we can sue him directly."
As his buddy, Phil just knew Ezra too well.
His mother was the bottom line for him. He had protected his mother from getting hurt since he was young. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been fighting against Diana and turning against Roman for so many years. He hated them and he wanted to seek revenge for his mother.
Nowadays, Maisie and their son had become his bottom line, too. Ezra wouldn't go easy on anyone who had got them involved. So, Phil told his men to take action as soon as he went through the rumor-mongering article.
"I must sue him and request him to make a public apology," said Ezra, coldly.
"OK!" said Phil, delightfully, "You'll get what you want, your majesty!"
"Fuck off!" said Ezra.
Then Phil flattered, "But Nancyreally looks much younger than her age. No wonder the outsiders took her as your lover. Don't be mad. It really means Nancy is pretty and awesome!"
As one of Ezra's good old friends, Phil did know his mother Nancy was the famous fashion designer Nancy Wen.
"But you must know that if you sue him and request him to make a public apology, you have to prove the one you hugged is your mother first. In that case, people will know Nancy is back in J City. Aren't you afraid that some of them have ill intentions?" added Phil.
Many years ago, Nancy was forced to leave the country by Diana, a malicious and crazy woman. Though she had been arrested for being a suspect of murder now, Diana still had two daughters out there and lots of underlings that she had developed these years.
"No worry. I'll protect them well. Moreover, my mother doesn't want to return to the country these years not because she fears them, but because she is disgusted with them. That's all." said Ezra, in a deep voice.
