At a crowded Emberhold event, Todd Sam — heir to the jewelry empire — appears with two stone gamblers as his party pressures Ms. Gill into an arranged engagement her father allegedly promised. She snaps, "I will never marry you," and refuses. When a Sam associate insults her, a man from her side intervenes, threatens violence, and punches the harasser, declaring, "She's my girl." The fight shames the Sam faction. The scene pivots when the gamblers reveal they pulled a top-grade, glass-grade jade from a scrap piece, raising the stakes and leaving the Sam family humiliated and the fallout unresolved.
