At a public confrontation Cody's mother accuses a woman of seducing Cody and waging war with his fiancee, insulting her as a gold digger and boasting that her daughter-in-law is White Corp's billionaire chairperson. The accused reveals she's actually a receptionist at White Corp and that Cody lied to make her look important. The argument escalates into a slap and bystanders step in, shifting the scene from public humiliation to exposure of Cody's deception. The older woman snarls, "I'll open your eyes today," leaving the receptionist exposed and the threat unresolved.
