[past]
Ira supported the girl initially, unbelieving Ash. She checked the photos which were proved to be real not photoshopped. The pregnancy was valid, she was not lying. And the girl was actually his classmate in America.
Hence she supported the apparently poor girl who was against abortion. Su Shan, her mother naturally supported his son but dad believed in facts which were against Ash.
So he was also doubtful that his son was lying.
This made the relationship between brother and sister drop to freezing point. Which seemingly never improved. They didn't even talk looking each another in the eye, meeting each other only in the family meetings and official purposes.
It was later proved that the girl was pregnant but the child wasn't Ash's, after a DNA report.
It was a misunderstanding!
Yet everything was destroyed. Ash's reputation, his family ties, especially with Ira and dad. He forsook Ira to support Ryan for the CEO position. The Rai heir was himself supporting another for leading position. It proved to be a hard battle.
As for Clara, Their relationship was revealed much later dropping a bombshell on everyone, the news of their marriage and Clara being 4 months pregnant already.

[Present]
Viv rushed to the security guards to make them take the woman away. They were about to drag her down, but Ira suddenly shouted: "Wait!" People watching the ongoing drama with curiosity.
Such problems need to be solved in the family itself.
Viv has seen a lot of people. So the moment this person appeared, he knew that someone was trying to frame Ash, Having spent many days with Ash he considered him his brother. Viv was sure that Ash wasn't the kind of person everyone including him thought to be.
So he wanted to drag the girl out before she says anything more embarrassing but did not expect Ira to block him.
Ira also knows that Viv is defending her family which she is grateful for, but if this person is taken away now, everyone will only think that they are trying to hide the matter. The rumours will spread and even grow.
The security guards now didn't know what to do. They looked at Viv who in turn looked at Ira.
Facing the calm Ira, Viv stepped back. 'She should have a solution already.'
She obviously knows that someone wants to harm Ash. She can take care of it on her own. Viv curved his eyes 'This woman is getting more and more unpredictable and interesting...'
That being the case, then he will watch the show.
"I have seen you somewhere before," Ira stated.
"Uhh__" The Girl was confused.
"You may have seen her in America you visited some days before," Ryan added.
"Maybe," Ira added. The girl sighed in relief.
"You said your name is Lily. Let's say whatever you say is true,"
Her sentence wasn't finished when Ash desperately shouted: "Sis, I don't know her. Believe me!"
"Are you deluded? I don't know you!" he added pointing at the girl.
