The tension reaches a boiling point when Jesús bursts into the Merino household, demanding answers about Patricia Lambert’s unexpected allegiance with the Merinos. “What’s going on with Patricia Lambert, and what is she doing in our house?” Jesús exclaims. Digna, unfazed, responds with scorn: “Don’t act dumber than you are, Jesús. Are you talking about the lands you claim we ‘stole’? Get out of my house!”
Jesús refuses to back down. “I want an explanation, and I’m not leaving until your son gives it to me. How could you stoop so low?” Joaquín, standing by his mother, retorts, “We only did what you’ve always done. Listen to my mother and get out!”
But Jesús won’t be dismissed. “What deal have you made with that snake?” he demands, the frustration clear in his voice. Finally, Digna steps in, her voice cutting through the chaos: “Enough! It was me. I’m the one who spoke to Patricia.” She offers herself as a target, daring him to take out his anger on her.
Jesús, visibly stunned, presses further: “What did you offer her to betray me?” With a smirk, Digna reveals her cunning plan: “I promised her a better future with the Merinos. She was eager to take it. When I told her you weren’t a reliable partner, she believed me. Now leave my house!”
Though seething with anger, Jesús warns them that this betrayal won’t go unpunished. Digna remains unfazed, confidently declaring that Jesús has underestimated the Merinos. As he storms out, the Merinos resume their meal, convinced they’ve gained the upper hand.
The drama intensifies, leaving viewers wondering how Jesús will respond to this calculated act of treachery.
