My Son's Girlfriend Called Me a Mistress—and Tore up Her Future
On her very first day in office, Principal Celine was mistaken for a "homewrecker" by her son's girlfriend, Candy. Candy slapped her to the ground, bullied her, and even tore up three top-tier letters of recommendation Celine had prepared for her. The entire scene was left stunned when Pierce stepped in to rescue his mother. Refusing to back down, Candy played her trump card—claiming she was pregnant—but the unborn child had a different father, and a sinister plot involving greed and murder began to surface. When the truth finally came to light, who was the one who truly deserved to be on their knees, begging for mercy?
Story Guide
Episode 1
Celine arrives at the university as its new president—and her son Pierce can't believe she kept it a secret. He's thrilled, and he has a favor to ask. Three elite recommendation letters have been prepared for his girlfriend Candy: one carrying Celine's signature and the president's seal, one from a senior Oxford professor, and one from a Stanford academic. With all three, Candy could walk into any university in the world. A staff member snaps a photo of mother and son together, and it's posted publicly. Then Candy sees it. She storms in, furious, accusing Pierce of cheating and demanding to know who the woman is.

Episode 2
Candy refuses to hear Pierce out. She's seen the photo, and she gives him an ultimatum: cut the other woman off today, or she walks. Pierce insists there is no other woman and brushes her off to get back to work. Emily urges Candy not to let anyone take Pierce from her, and Candy vows that anyone who goes after him will pay. Meanwhile, Celine notices Pierce's crooked tie and fusses over him like any mother would. Emily spots the two standing close and calls Candy immediately. Candy and Emily rush to the student council office to catch them red-handed.

Episode 3
Pierce gets called away by a professor, leaving Celine to look around the campus on her own. She heads toward the professor's office, telling him to call if he needs anything. Candy, already convinced she's caught her rival, decides the woman has to be dealt with. Celine settles into the chairman's office, where the recommendation letters and a watch are waiting. A knock comes at the door, and Celine assumes it's Pierce coming back for something. She opens it warmly—only to find Candy, who takes one look at her and explodes, certain she's found the woman stealing her boyfriend.
Episode 4
Candy has Celine dragged into the room and refuses to let her explain. She slaps her, calls her every name, and threatens to sell her to a brothel if she ever comes near Pierce again. Celine insists she isn't his mistress and tells Candy to ask Pierce herself. But Candy waves the photo in her face—the one Pierce posted publicly—and declares it proof. She drags Celine out to humiliate her in front of everyone, parading her as a shameless mistress who stole her boyfriend. Celine keeps begging her to stop, but Candy won't listen.
Episode 5
Candy sneers at the idea that this woman could be Pierce's mother, since Pierce told her his mother wouldn't arrive until six. Emily hesitates, wondering if they should check first, but Candy dismisses it—there's no way she's the president. Then Pierce calls Candy, saying he spilled something on his clothes and can't leave the professor yet. He reminds her his mother arrives at six and tells her to look after her properly. Candy lies that it was just a stray cat. Hanging up, she orders Celine dragged to the auditorium, threatening to tell the new president that Celine has been seducing students.
Episode 6
Candy's parents arrive and soak up the praise. Everyone assumes the new president came in person just to evaluate Candy and take her under her wing. The Browns beam, certain their daughter's brilliance has finally been recognized and that top universities are within reach. Then they spot Celine and demand to know who she is. Candy announces she's the woman Pierce has been keeping on the side. Mrs. Brown turns on Celine, accusing her of throwing herself at her future son-in-law. A crowd gathers as Celine protests that they've got it all wrong.
Episode 7
The Browns dig through Celine's handbag for evidence of how she "lures men." They find a Rolex, and Candy assumes Pierce bought it for her, ordering it smashed despite Celine's protests about its value. Then Candy finds the recommendation letters—the very ones she believes President Celine promised her. Furious that this woman would dare carry them, she decides to destroy them. Emily urges her on: if they can't have the letters, neither can she. Celine warns them that tearing them up is something they'll regret, but Candy is already past listening.
Episode 8
Candy tears the letters to shreds, daring Celine to do anything about it. Then she spots a photo in the bag—a picture of Celine with her husband—and twists it into fresh proof that she's sleeping with two men. Celine begs for it back, saying it's the only photo she has of her and her husband, and offers to forget everything that happened today if they return it. Candy makes her a deal: get on your knees and beg, and maybe she'll hand it over. Celine kneels. The crowd watches her trade her dignity for a single photograph.
Episode 9
Something snaps. Celine lunges, and in the chaos Candy is knocked out cold. Emily checks her and announces she's not dead—just unconscious. Panic turns to scheming: when President Celine arrives, Emily will claim the mad woman attacked Candy first and they were only defending themselves. Candy has been counting on being Pierce's girlfriend to win the president's favor, and on Pierce's promise that his mother would handle her college admission. Emily reassures her that a girl as impressive as Candy will surely be taken care of. Then the order goes out: drag Celine away before the president sees her.
Celine's first day is far from over—watch how the truth lands when the president finally walks through that door.
