Sergio, who understands Victoria's urgency to go to Cantarrana to be with her parents, agrees to accompany her with the excuse that he is doing it to protect his investment. Hilario does not want Victoria to go to the hacienda because he fears that his creditors will take advantage of her presence to pressure him even more; Adelaida, who believes that the man only cares about his own luck, warns him that if something happens to her daughter because of him, she will be the one to make him pay for it. Fernanda cannot help crying when Leopoldo, surprising her conversation with Nicolás, discovers that it was she who forced his nephew to marry Florencia. Hilario is surprised when Victoria and Sergio offer to buy sixty percent of Cantarrana from him; he refuses to accept, but his daughter tries to make him see that he has no more dignified option than that if he wants to avoid his life's work from falling into the hands of his gambling creditors. Nerves invade Victoria when Sergio lets her know that he is feeling an attraction for her that goes beyond their work relationship; however, Escalante does not dare to go ahead because the young Guanipa cuts him off by clarifying that the only thing that unites them is business.
