At an event a rival accuses Asher of mocking her and promises she'll prove she's more special than Elly. Asher explodes and grabs her; others shout "Asher, calm down" and pull him away while someone tries to clean him up. Guests deride the rival as fake, saying she got in with Carter connections and that her "Cinderella act" won't work on the billionaire's heir. The conflict escalates when someone tosses $8,000 of her clothes into the trash and calls her a spoiled brat; she insists, "These are clean." It ends with Asher restrained, the rival humiliated and the confrontation unresolved.
