Vanessa came out of hiding and confronted Consuelo. She also vowed not to keep quiet, that she would expose the whole truth of her lineage and paternity to Luisa Fernanda. She rushed out to search for L.F, an when she got her, she asked her to talk privily with her, on an urgent secret that she ought to know. As Vanessa opened her mouth to tell her the secret, the social welfare staff entered the house to announce to all present that, Salvador's adoption by Pedro has been approved by the judge.

Everyone went into wild orgy of jubilation and dancing. Vanessa had to leave the scene for another appropriate time, when she hoped to come and tell L.F. the truth.

Ordonez and Lupe called Pedro aside, and showed him all the facts of L.F's paternity and how Don had willed all his fortune to her. Ordonez asked him to fulfill that noble role by calling L.F, to tell her that her father was L.A. Pedro was afraid and ashamed, because it looked too late now, if he had to tell L.F, he felt L.F would never forgive him, if he told her the truth now. Sister Joaquina also warned him that this is his best opportunity to tell the truth to L.F about L.A. In the midst of their talk, L.A appeared in Pedro's house to demand once again to meet his daughter.

Fearful and cowardly Alfredo went to Carlos and requested him to please, advise and persuade L.F not to renege on her promise to marry him (Alfredo). Carlos laughed at his cowardice and spinelessness. He told him not to worry because, L.F is not a baby.
