Victoria runs the Carter Group and has spent years keeping her son Ethan out of the family's messier business. She flies into New York early for his engagement party, planning to hand Sofia a gift and a welcome.
Sofia has seen photos on Ethan's phone and decided the older woman is his mistress. She and her friends drag Victoria through the room, smash the gift, and tear up a photograph of Victoria's late husband. The truth comes out in front of everyone. Victoria doesn't shout about it; she starts pulling records, and what she finds ties Sofia's family to a business conspiracy with her rivals. Ethan has to choose between the woman he proposed to and the mother who built everything he has.
