In Newport, Evan Howard, wealthy heir, hid his identity and secretly funded his fiancée Vivian’s company West Holdings to go public, letting her take all the credit while coworkers mocked him as a lazy freeloader. After her favored assistant Tristan attacked and extorted him, Vivian fired Evan. He then exposed his true status, pulled all funding, crashed West Holdings, ended the engagement, bought the remnants of the firm, and ousted everyone who ridiculed him.
