Nicolás Del Casal wants to stop the continuous confrontations with Victoria Guanipa, who assures that this could only happen if he agrees to sell her the Los Samanes hacienda because, otherwise, she will continue trying to take away all possible business from him until he has no choice but to auction the hacienda. With the excuse that he wants to gain the trust of his father Leopoldo Alcoy, Federico seeks Hansen with the intention of asking him for a loan to make a business deal; the young man, who gets upset when the businessman refuses to support him because he considers the deal he was offered to be a swindle, decides that he is going to become a millionaire on his own. Tired of Victoria's insistence on attacking her nephew Nicolás, Fernanda de Alcoy warns Florencia that they must see to it that the young Guanipa loses his hacienda Cantarrana; the young Mrs. Del Casal considers that she alone can take on her rival without her aunt-in-law getting involved.
