Adelaida de Guanipa asks her daughter Victoria to leave her alone with her husband, who challenges her to decide if she is going to let her desire to take revenge on Carlos Hansen end up confronting him with her daughter to give the girl more reasons to hate him; Hilario orders his foreman Moncho to see to it that the businessman returns to the capital immediately. Sure that she is doing the right thing, Fernanda de Alcoy goes to Marisa's house to offer her money in exchange for her leaving the hacienda and forgetting forever about her husband Leopoldo, who, according to her, never wants to see her again; the humble woman, very dignified, rejects the blackmail of the lady. Late at night, Victoria is surprised when Nicolás Del Casal shows up at her house looking for Adelaida to give her a message from her aunt Fernanda; when he manages to see her alone, Nicolás reveals to Mrs. Guanipa that the order is not from her aunt but from Carlos Hansen, who sent her a letter through him; Adelaida thanks the young man for his discretion in this regard. Florencia believes that Victoria's bet with Nicolás is to prove to him that she is superior to him; Fernanda, on the contrary, considers that everything that the young Guanipa does is to continue seeing her beloved; Mrs. Alcoy proposes to her niece-in-law to find a way to get rid of Victoria forever.
