The exposure of Nancy's real identity had aroused heated discussions in the outside world, and Ruth had noticed it, too.
To be more exact, Ruth had involved herself in it since Ezra was caught hugging a woman at the airport.
Ruth hired some paid posters to blacken their account IDs and did whatever she could to deliberately mislead the public to accuse Ezra of being a jerk.
Like mother, like daughter. She learned these dirty tricks from her mother, Diana, who had been giving all out to defame Ezra these years and finally gave him a notorious name in love affairs. Whenever the outsiders talked about Ezra, the first thing they thought of him was that he was a rich playboy who liked to fuck around.
Actually, Diana also wanted to blacken his reputation in the business, but Ezra was simply too capable and the Canuli was on the rise, so she couldn't do anything more with him.
Diana wasn't resigned to it and came out of a lousy idea. She had incited the branch manager to embezzle public money and then she would accuse Ezra of poor management when they found there was something wrong with the project.
After that, they would also do something in the dark to make the board of directors believe that Ezra had been too cocky to be capable of running the company. However, new problems cropped up unexpectedly before they could settle the matter at the branch office. As a result, Diana and Ruth were in big trouble.
Roman had announced the distribution of properties this morning. Ruth and Diana didn't get a penny from him.
Diana tried to kill Roman and had totally fallen out with him. It was reasonable that Diana didn't get a penny from Roman. But why didn't she get anything as well?
Ruth didn't know Roman had already known she had been helping Diana over these years, and she thought she was still the elegant and decent little girl to him.
She was so outraged that she rushed to the hospital to question Roman, but the medical workers stopped her by telling her he was too weak to see her now.
She held the grudge and took it all out on Ezra. As soon as she saw the photo taken at the airport, she hired the paid posters and tried very hard to blacken Ezra's name by misleading the public deliberately.
Ruth had never met Nancy before and she had no idea the woman he hugged was Nancy.
Diana couldn't help gnashing whenever she talked about Nancy, and she had never shown her any photo of Nancy. As a result, Ruth went all out to defame Ezra but she ended up making herself a joke.
Moreover, Nancy's real identity happened to be a renowned fashion photographer. She had shown her face in the photo that Ezra had posted, looking extremely elegant and noble.
She thought Nancy was literally too happy when compared with her own mother Diana, who had always been hysterical and freaked out.
Ruth and Diana thought Nancy must live an ordinary life abroad in the past years, and she might be carefree with Ezra supporting her. But they didn't expect Nancy had lived so wonderfully and successfully.
Surely, Ruth had heard of the renowned fashion photographer Nancy Wen. One of her bosom friends was an actress and she was also in the entertainment circle herself. She also knew only the most popular and influential actresses like Nina could have the honor to invite her to take photos for them.
Ruth had been deeply influenced by Diana for so many years and she also hatedNancyvery much. She thought Ezra and Nancy had taken everything away from them.
Without Ezra, she should have inherited everything from the Canuli.
Ruth was almost freaked out when she knew how wonderful and successful Nancy was!
