He insists the spot is reserved for janitors and that he parked first. Valeria yells at him, insults him, and loudly proclaims she is Oceania Ltd.'s director. Guests watch as she threatens to beat him. Someone points out she's here for the engagement banquet while a bystander asks if her mom is okay. The public confrontation escalates and leaves the banquet's opening uncertain.
