At a lavish banquet, Lydia deliberately falls and frames Ella for pushing her. Without checking the facts, Mason and his mother, Barbara, verbally humiliate Ella and drive her out. Facing accusations from the crowd, Ella refuses to stay submissive. She strikes back publicly, slaps the acting Lydia, ends her eight-year relationship with Mason, and threatens to send a lawyer's letter. Mason and Barbara continue to mock her ruthlessly, citing her status as an orphan of humble birth, unaware that Ella actually comes from a powerful background. Ella's cold retort marks the beginning of a role reversal.
